Double Moonbat Award

It seems to me that there is a lot of Moonbattiness this week, and it’s only Monday. We’re going to do a double-hitter on the Moonbat award.

The first is going to, of all people, a member of the clergy, specifically Father Tim Jones of St. Lawrence Church in York, U.K. for his advising his congregation to shoplift during these trying times. His reasoning: hey, God loves the poor more than he loves the rich.

From the Daily Mail:

Father Tim Jones, 41, broke off from his traditional annual sermon yesterday to tell his flock that stealing from large chains is sometimes the best option for vulnerable people.

It is far better for people desperate during the recession to shoplift than turn to ‘prostitution, mugging or burglary’, he said.

Okay, yeah, shoplifting may be better than prostitution, and it isn’t violent like mugging, but it is STILL STEALING and a violation of the commandment “thou shall not steal.”

Jones goes on to say that people should not steal from small, family businesses, as it hurts them more than the big chains. That’s big of him.

Stealing is stealing. Period. end of Statement. Congratualtions, Pastor Jones, you are a recipient of a Moonbat Award.

Next up is one of America’s own, Senator Whitehouse (D as in Dumb@ass- RI) has this to say about those who oppose ObamaCare:

Breitbart Video

“They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militias and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.”

In other words, those who oppose it are a bunch of racists. Wow.

A few facts - yeah, there are some nuts on both sides of the political divide. On the right there are a (dwindling) number of birthers who still believe that Obama was born in Kenya, despite the overwhelming evidence that he was in fact born in Hawaii. Yeah, I get riled at birtherism as well, and defend Obama on that score. But to accuse those who oppose Obama as being members of militias (the new Leftist code-word for terrorist) or Aryan groups (which is to say, they’re Nazis) and that we find it unbearable that Obama exists is pure loony Moonbattiiness. This guy is NUTS!

A few facts: most of us who oppose Obama’s agenda are not “birthers”, do not belong to militias, or associate with Aryan groups. I don’t think anyone on the right find it unbearable that Obama exists. We don’t like Obama’s policies. But, hey, the Left hated Bush’s policies and they did find it unbearable that George W. Bush existed (not to mention Ronald Reagan), but that’s another story.

So congratulations to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse; you are a real, major league Moonbat. Enjoy your Moonbat award.

Why to people keep voting for idiots like this, anyway?
