Jim Inhofe Promises Christian Conservatives Rewards from the Lord

The Christian Coalition's annual Road to Victory conference in Washington DC gave both President Bush and Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe top billing. According to the Associated Press, Senator Inhofe exhorted the crowd to vote liberals out of office. "If you don't do it, it ain't gonna be done," he said. "You will be doing the Lord's work, and he will richly bless you for it." Note: This is not a parody, he really said that. That we have a US Senator that says and believes this is sad. Is the Lord taking sides? Is the Lord political? I guess our junior Senator thinks so. Or could it be that he is using the Lord as a political tool? Wouldn't the Lord be really pissed about being used to manipulate voters?

Senator Inhofe will also appear in Tulsa tomorrow at the Victory Church to lecture on the Christian marketplace. I guess David Walters, candidate for Inhofe's seat, doesn't make the grade as far as Victory Church is concerned. Sure, he's a devout Catholic but he's a moderate. To garner the Christian fundamentalist's support you can't just dedicate your life to Christ, you also have to be politically conservative.

To see how outrageous Senator Inhofe's and the Christian Coalition's position of linking faith and politics is look at the Senator's statement above and read it as if it were a Muslim cleric calling for tossing liberals (eg. infidels) out and promising them that Allah will reward them for it. Shouldn't we be disgusted? Perhaps Senator Inhofe will soon start promising conservative Christian voters 72 virgins when they get to Heaven.

Speaking of disgusting. Goobernatorial candidate Gary Richardson attended the Gamefowl Breeders Association (the cockfighters and gamblers) meeting in Oklahoma City today. As mentioned in earlier postings Richardson is opposed to banning cockfighting statewide. Wouldn't it be great to have him out there recruiting businesses to Oklahoma? Gheez.
