CARTOON - REPUBLICAN JESUS once again captures the hypocrisy perfectly

[Nothing Without Hope]

"Republican Jesus" is a wonderful series irregularly seen at the satirical progressive site "Jesus' General": http://patriotboy.blogspot.com

Here RJ puts all the hypocrisy into one panel as only he can:

1. Makes perfect sense.

[Maat]

2. Can you imagine what the real Jesus would say?

LOL!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. He wouldn't say anything....

He'd be too busy weeping.

[Nothing Without Hope]

4. That's what I think too. He'd be so horrified by what has been done

all these centuries and now by the violent extreme fundies in his name. It is OPPOSITE from everything he taught and lived. His heart would break

[DulceDecorum]

5. The Jesus I know

once completely destroyed a market
because it had disobeyed the zoning laws.
(It was in His Father's House.)

When Jesus smote that produce,
trust me,
it remained smitten.

And yet some people
who were very slow on the uptake,
saw all that,
and STILL went and crossed the man.
He is STILL in the kitchen, making the Whoop-ass
and one of these days,
He just might finishing caning that last batch
and then it will be time for
the Last Supper.

Now, I know I am not invited to that particular banquet
but that it A-OK with me.
Especially since I know that the first course consists of
JC's Special Blend
signed and numbered,
limited edition,
custom designed,
individually packed
freshly opened,
full strength,
Can of Almighty Whoop-Ass.

7. "caning" or "canning"?

There is a difference.

[DulceDecorum]

8. Not if you show up there

:evilgrin:
(But it is nice to know that someone cares about spelling.)

11. Can of Almighty Whoop-Ass--I WANT TO WATCH!!! n/t

[Maat]

9. You have a point there.

n/t

[Debs]

13. OR

Throwing up

[bleever]

6. Thanks Hope.

They take the concept of "taking the Lord's name in vain" to ever greater heights.

As the bumper sticker says: "Jesus is Coming. And is He Pissed."

[Nothing Without Hope]

10. I also like THIS bumper sticker, seen in Newton MA a couple months ago:

JESUS TO BUSH: STOP USING ME FOR A REFERENCE!

[Nothing Without Hope]

12. Kick for Republian Jesus. They can have him, I prefer the REAL one.

(And I'm not even a Christian!)

[Swamp Rat]

14. Here's a great one by mopaul!

:D

[Nothing Without Hope]

15. Thanks for that, it sure makes the point. The REST of the world sees Bush

for what he is. Here's a photo of a carnival parade float in Dusseldorf, Germany from early February:

16. Das ist der absolute Oberhammer!!!

I miss Germany. :cry:


Edit for my Jesus pic: :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

17. yes, when he said "suffer the little children," that's NOT what he meant!

It's amazing to me how these people can claim to be avid followers of Jesus, but they act like they've never read his story or his teachings at all. Using his name to excuse hate and violence - he would be devastated to see it.

[BlueManDude]

18. Is he related to Supply Side Jesus?

[Nothing Without Hope]

19. Oh yeah, DEFINITELY. I remember that multipanel cartoon and

have always thought that Republican Jesus captures its essence and expands it into additional areas, all with such a devastatingly simple format.
