Mich. State Rep. and Republican National Committeeman says Obama, most terrorists are Muslims

Yesterday you may remember how state Rep. and Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema was saying that he's totally cool with an ethically-deficient Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. Believe it or not, this isn't the stupidest thing Agema said this week.

According to the firewalled Gongwer, Agema thinks that (a) President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim and (b) pretty much all terrorists are Muslims.

Gongwer: "Which is it? He can't be both," he said. "It's disingenuous to say one time you're a Christian and then say another time you're a Muslim."

Mr. Agema said his other problem is with Mr. Obama saying Islam is a religion of peace.

"Not all Muslims are terrorists, but just about every terrorist is a Muslim," he said. "I disagree that Islam is a religion of peace."


Either Agema is a delusional nutter or a lying sack of shit (investigators have not ruled out the possibility he could be some combination of the two) because Obama has never said he is a Muslim.

The National Socialists in Germany used to insinuate that people they didn't like or would like to blame as Jews. Now today the right use Muslims for the same purpose.

The Columbine shooters were not Muslims. I believe the Irish IRA terrorists were mostly Catholic.

Terrorism knows no one religion. It only knows people of many religions and sects within those religions who feel disenfranchised and have been fanaticized.

They say he didn't have "terrorist" ties. WTF does that mean? Tell you what it means: it means he's white. It means no matter what he did, even if he went into a crowded movie theater, set off tear gas and shots almost 100 people, killing 12-14 of them, he's still not a terrorist. 'Cause he's white.

Bullshit.

I'm sick of RepubliCON's racism. It's ignorant. It's dangerous. RepubliCONs need to deal with the terrorists in their own ranks. Because there are plenty of them. And they're WHITE.

...To me, Republican idealism sounds like false prophecy, like wolves in sheep's clothing.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits.
...elsewhere...
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
...back again...
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you;

...and they did not know Him. They seem self-deluded.
