A Mighty Fatass Is Our Pod

As noted in Howie the Putz's latest clip-job, Johnny Pod highlights a favorite fundy gambit, as expertly played by Lt. General William Boykin.

The New York Post's John Podhoretz, for the defense:

"Boykin is an evangelical Christian. That is his right. He believes that the terrorists threatening us are working for Satan. That is also his right. It is crucial to note that he was not calling Islam a Satanic faith.

"And though the use of the phrase 'Christian nation' is offensive to many non-Christians, it's hardly the sort of thing that should get a guy fired -- especially when he takes care to refer to the 'Judeo-Christian' tradition as well.

Fundies always use this little insurance policy -- when asserting that America is a Christian Nation, always throw a bone to the Jews. It's a fair bet that Lt. General Boykin and his fellow wingers couldn't describe the Judeo part of the American "Judeo-Christian tradition" if their lives depended upon it. (Hint: A big part of it is Christians saying "No Judeos Allowed.") Yet such folk feel they can baldly bash anyone of Muslim faith, or of no faith, if they pay lip service to the Jewish faith in the same breath as they declare America a Christian country. Poddy, like Boykin, knows how this corrupt game is played. And he endorses the tactic as long as he's in with the in crowd. Not surprising, but sad.
