Tom Delay's Pilgrimage
The Bug Exterminator Goes to Jerusalem

By KURT NIMMO

Tom DeLay, House Majority Leader and former bug exterminator from Sugar Land, Texas, wants you to know he stands "shoulder-to-shoulder" with accused war criminal Ariel Sharon and the Israeli occupation forces that killed Mohammed Kabha, 6 years of age, last week near Barta al-Sharqeyah, east of Ramallah. Mr. DeLay also wants you to know he supports Israeli settlers, even though on July 11 a settler ran over and killed Yazan al-Tal, a 13-year-old Palestinian child, south of Nablus.

Naturally, DeLay wouldn't admit he's in favor of gunning down or driving over children. No, for DeLay and millions of other Christian Zionists, slaughtered Palestinians are but a fleeting tick on their moral compasses, if that. In fact, for Christian Zionists the Palestinians are all but invisible, except when they strike out in desperation.... (more)

1. I would certainly not want Delay...

... a complete Rethuglican (witness the Texas redistricting fiasco) on my side.

2. Bacardi Rum!

Tom Delay, Christian Zionists, and Bacardi Rum! What a combo!

I think I just invented a new drink.

3. DeLay

feels he's back in his bug exterminator days. If you reduce lives of others below your own, as Tom does, then it's as easy as "steppin on a roach." DeLay fucks pigs.

4. As Counterpuch points out

The stated Likud goal is to harrass the Palestinians until they are "drugged cockroaches scuttling around in a bottle." The scary part is that 26% of US voters ID themselves as Christian Zionists. Seems that there may be some of them who post here as well. MLK was right back in 1967, "any nation that continues to spend more on defense than on programs of social uplift is nearing spiritual death." These Americans are diseased.

5. The Christian Zionists...

...are some truly scary people. This morning I was slumming at one of their websites, reading a sampling of their posts concerning Israel's air strike against Hizbollah, and these people seemed positively gleeful at the prospects of deepened conflict in the mid-east. So-called Christians cheering for war. It was sickening.

6. They actually want Armaggedon

They think God needs their help in starting a nuclear holocaust.

8. No, Christian Zionist

They are even more pro-Israel than most Israelis.
