Graham wants government trailers handed over to churches...

[madeline_con]

Did anyone notice this part of the interview where Graham blamed "sin" for Katrina devasatating NOLA? Here's an excerpt:

GRAHAM: It's not a distraction for me. And I just spoke with the White House today about the trailers that FEMA has. You know there are thousands and thousands of trailers. And I think these trailers ought to be given -- these mobile homes ought to be given to the churches for the ministers in the community to decide what are the poor families that need these trailers and not the government.

I don't think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don't think they know how to run a trailer park. But if you give these five trailers to every church and let every church in Louisiana have five trailers and to take in five families that lost their homes and let the church look after them and care for them, and then at the end of one year let the church take possession of the trailer.

It can be theirs. They can sell it. They can give it to another family, do whatever they want to do. But the management of those trailers ought to be in the hands of the churches and not the federal government. These are issues we need to be focusing on.

2. What makes churches more qualified than the government?

This business of handing out charity jobs and favors to the churches is really making me uneasy. Among all the other things wrong with this idea, what kind of consistency will there be if hundreds of churches are each controlling half a dozen trailers?

4. He says the government can't run trailer parks.

He says the church could sell them after a year. He's a greedy s.o.b. pretending he gives a damn.

7. I'm not saying the government is necessarily competent to run

a trailer park. I just don't see why that means the churches should get control of the trailers, and eventually the money from their sale.

Personally, I don't even have to run around naked screaming to burst into flame. The heat from my enraged brain sets my hair on fire quite nicely all by itself. :mad:

11. You know why?

So they can get more money for their own pockets. They want to privatize everything so they can get the money. They're nothing but greedy. Remember that quote about drowning the government?

3. Aw, dammit!

I HATE the way these people just keep upping the goddamned ante on my blood pressure.

"Pay attention now. This shore wuz a sinful city, but Ah ain't sayin' that's exactly why Gawd destroyed it. But Ah sho' would lahk t' have them trailers, cuz th' least we'ns cn' do is t' make sho' no more o' them sinners git 'em a house t' be a-sinnin' in."

And I thought spontaneous human combusion was a hoax!

:wtf:

Unfortunately, he hasn't burned. Yet. :evilgrin:

6. Not him. Me!

They're trying to make me run around screaming naked in the yard till the friction of the air actually causes me to burst into flame!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

Truly we are lost among the freaks. And, as the Good Doctor said "the hogs are in the tunnel, and they will travel on a road of bones."

B-T-W, Madeline, great web site.

How I do adore the "You men are all alike" scene in YF!

8. Sometimes I wish there were a hell...

so people like this could burn in it.

9. Franklin Graham is just a MOTHERFUCKING GRIFTER!

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Oh yes

Let's let the church decide who's poor enough to have a home. Fuck off Graham!
