Limbaugh: “The left is scared to death of God” … [Media Matters for America]
From the October 18 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: The left is scared to death of God. They think Bush is a believer, and they got quotes from people that say Bush doesn’t think, he just follows his instincts based on how he feels after he prays. He’s just — “this is horrible.” They’re out there and they’re scared to death because they don’t understand God. They don’t understand a personal relationship with God. They can only think it’s trouble.
But, we can see trouble in CLAIMS to be led by God into the horrors Bush has, and still has in store for us if he’s not voted out. He’s already hoodwinked millions of clueless and frightened Christians who actually trust him (and obviously read only what verifies what they already believe—- Kind of like Bush himself)
Yeah, Rush, I know about personal relationship with God, and none of it gets much coverage our find much in common with the Bush White House. You see, Rush, a “personal” relationship with God, and with Christ, is MUCH more than talk, and musch more than piety. Jesus said that, Rush. And the God with whom we commune at God’s inviting calls us to Make a Difference. I’ve always believed that government is one part of that community of humanity to whom God beckons to do justice and walk humbly.
whoa… I can’t believe Rush is bloviating about what he thinks he knows about God again. He said that Jesus said that saying that goes, “to give a man a fish feeds him for a day; to teach a man to fish feeds him for a lifetime.” Except, that’s nowhere in the bible. It’s, uh, a Chinese proverb. He’s just trying to downplay charity as a nobel thing and promote his un-Christian “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” conservative ideology.
As Al Franken says, “it comes straight out of Rush’s but and directly into the minds of millions of listeners who don’t know any better.”
