For the love of Cthulhu, please, I beg of you...

DO NOT, whatever you do, go to YouTube and click on any stories about DeSantis' refugee stunt.

Half the people in the comments are all "yeah! That's the kind of leadership we need! You go, Governor Ron!"

The other half are naming places that DeSantis and Abbott can send even more refugees to, like Democratic officeholders' homes.

Not one person is pointing out that what DeSantis did is definitely cruel and probably a federal felony.

If Jesus were to return to earth today, I fear his first act would be to go to Fort Hood and dispatch an M109 howitzer plus a million high-explosive projectiles with powder and fuzes for it. (Jesus is perfectly capable of downloading a copy of the owner's manual, Technical Manual 9-2350-314-10-1.) He would then use it on the social clubs and dens of iniquity masquerading as Christian churches. Like Gandhi is reputed to have said, "I like your Christ very much. I do not like your Christians. They are nothing like your Christ."

If your a religious person, Matthew 25 explains it quite well. Interesting note, both Sheep and Goats are a "clean" animal, but one is more stubborn and violent than the other.

31 “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ 46 And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
