Morford's Love Doll

You know it's true. You know if, say, San Francisco had just been blasted by not two, not three, but fully four lethal trailer-park-eating earthquakes, why, the Right-wing Bible set would be yelping with barely disguised joy.
Of course they would. They'd be jumping up and down and saying I told you so and pointing to Volume 18 of "Left Behind" and claiming that this was, of course, God's wrath upon the sinners and the gays and the heathens and sodomites and the tofu eaters and the Toyota Priuses and the yoga studios and the anal sex and the incense burners and the Zen meditation centers.
Ha ha snicker, they'd say. Serves you right, they'd sneer. Shoulda voted Republican, they'd add. And then they'd go make lime Jell-O and watch Raymond.
But of course, right now it's about 68 crisp n' flawless pre-fall degrees here in God's Fetish Dungeon, all gorgeous and progressive and non-ravaged, whereas along the Gulf Coast they just finished battening down the hatches and sandbagging the one millionth salmon-colored strip mall and anchoring Jeb Bush's ego in a vat of swamp water and evacuating nearly one million stunned and exhausted citizens for the fourth time, as hurricane Jeanne hammered down and shredded the state. Ironic, if it weren't so sad.
Which sort of makes you think, if I were a God-fearing right-wing BushCo fundamentalist and not, say, a neo-pagan Zen atheist Buddhist Taoist Zoroastrian Orgasmican who uses "Passion of the Christ" DVDs as Astroglide coasters, I might offer up the notion that maybe, just maybe Bush's neoconservative God is more than a mite peeved with the Neon Stucco Retirement State. You think?
Maybe He's more than a little perturbed at the current situation, and maybe I'd suggest

Eh, he's basically right.
What do you think would have happened on FR if San Franscico had been hit by 4 damaging earthquakes in the last two months?
Exactly what he described.
Only during the summer.
You have not been on FR long enough to make that assessment. FReepers have a lot more class than that. When Clinton went in for surgery, there was a long thread here of people wishing him a speedy recovery.
This hack doesn't write an opinion column. He writes hits pieces designed to project the immense hatred and self loathing he has onto others so that he can feel better about himself and so he won't slip into a warm bath and slit his own wrists.
That this paper continues to allow him to use them to do it is astounding.
This guy gives buggery a bad name!
As example, quite a few FReepers wished President Clinton a speedy recovery while others jumped allover the nutty idea that heavily democratic West Palm Beach became a recent landfall hot spot because of the 2000 elections.
In other words, Ms. Morford is projecting his baser reactions on others. And has had a long history of it.
"neo-pagan Zen atheist Buddhist Taoist Zoroastrian"
What on the Earth is that?
Except for the watching Raymond , lime jello, and pointing to volume 18 of 'left behind'.
They'd point to scripture instead.
And Morford is still and idiot.
Eh, you're full of it.
What do you think would have happened on FR if San Franscico had been hit by 4 damaging earthquakes in the last two months?
We would be praying for the people and sending donations to help with the rescue efforts.
Exactly what he described.
Nothing on planet earth is ever even remotely similar to anything this psycho-freak-nutzoid-loonytoon-whackjob describes.
Seriously, most deeply religious people are hesitant to pronounce on the mysteries of God's providence.
Consider the Book of Job.
Does God hate Florida? No, but God apparently hates Harrodsburh (KY):

God doesn't hate Florida, but I'm sure he hates whats happening to Terri Schiavo.

I know of no "guy" called Morford.
