Clark's Hawaiian Vacation
The Tiger of Afghanistan, Clark Bowers, surfaced over the weekend in Honolulu. I know most of you could probably care less about this fellow, but since he's living here in Alabama now, and since he has seen fit to force himself into situations in order to promote his agenda, and since he seems to believe that promoting his agenda does not exclude dissembling, and since I believe it takes a special kind of idiot who would rather climb a tree to lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth, I just keep linking to these ridiculous stories of Mr. Bowers.

The most chilling thing in the article is the same claptrap Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson were spewing after September 11:

In his speech, he discussed terrorism and said some of the criticism of America by extremist Islamists is the same critique they are hearing from their pastors and local conservative Republicans. "They are not just whistling Dixie when they talk about the decadence, when they talk about the corruption, when the talk about what we export in many cases throughout the world and how it undermines traditional family, traditional home," Bowers said.

If "pastors and local conservative Republicans" are saying America got what we deserved in the form of godly retribution by the hand of Islamic idiots, then something is desperately wrong with their minds. If that is truly what they believe, then they cannot in good conscience support any retaliation, because to retaliate is to fight against the hand of God. And if God is using Islam to smite America, why don't they consider converting? Did they ever think that maybe God was getting upset because they cling to that silly old Jesus guy instead of God's true prophet Mohammed? Or maybe God is angry that small men with big egos flaunt their religion and make a mockery of true Christianity in order to make a profit from misguided souls. Or maybe God wasn't displeased so much with America as He was with just lower Manhattan. Or maybe God is displeased with Major League Baseball for contemplating league contraction.

Although it rakes in the money to act like you alone can decipher the will of God, this type of mental gymnastics requires a peculiar breed of ignorant, ugly people who are more than willing to express the faults of others while brushing aside any criticism of themselves. Before Mr. Bowers decides to Blame God First for whacking America for destroying family values, he might better check his story a bit more fully and tighten up on the edit. Remember Revelation 21:8, Clark--liars are in that lake of fire right along with whoremongers and murderers.
