Wingnut Poetry
After the horrifying attacks in Oslo, there was a rush to judgement on the right (and some in the media) that the attacks were the work of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. Once the attacks were shown to be the work of a Christian conservative terrorist the right was silent for a while. Until they figured out it’s still the fault of liberals and that liberals are just too gloaty about the whole thing. RedState‘s Erick Erickson wrote a post of wingnut self-justification and blame-shifting to be almost a work of poetry.
Secular leftists and Islamists are both of this world. Christians may be traveling through, but we are most definitely not of the world. In fact, Christ commands us to throw off our ties to this world. But the things of this world love this world and hate the things of God. That’s why secular leftism can embrace both activist homosexuals and activist muslims when the latter would, when true to their faith, be happy to kill the former.
All of them can pile on and condemn the Christian because the Christian is just passing through, a stranger in a strange land.
Over the next week, assuming the budget fight in Washington doesn’t over shadow it, you can expect lots more gloating that the guy in Norway described himself as a conservative Christian. Never mind that a conservative Christian would not do what the guy did. The left, however, will not be persuaded otherwise. They are of this world and this world is all that matters until the last day.
I almost picture Erickson floating on air above the earth and looking down on the strange beings called “people.” Notice the interesting juxtaposition of all Muslims are terrorists = liberals there.

Erickson is definitely floating on a “shit cloud”, as Jim Lahey in Trailerpark Boys would say. Imagine how hard it must be for a conservative or wingnut or whatever you want to call it, to live in a socialist country like Norway. According to the newswire he had a problem with his government allowing the immigration of Islamists. There has been negative sentiment all over Europe concerning the same thing, particularly among many native Germans. “They are mud people!”, exclaimed an old woman I knew who grew up in Hitler’s Germany. She was upset that the “mud people” constituted about 9% of the German population at the time, and all because their government kept letting them in. Last week they had to exhume the body of Rudolph Hesse from his grave in Bavaria to be cremated and scattered at sea because the “wingnuts” kept using his burial place as a gathering ground. Things might be heating up in Europe.
Jesus, protect us from your followers.
UI, much respect for going through Erickson’s nonsense. The right is constantly moving to absolve themselves of sin, rather, erase the records of their atrocities. They’re on their knees to a god, they’re on their knees to corporate overlords and desire a change in position so they want to force the middle class and the poor onto their own knees.
