re: #12 Gus 802

Here come the dumb rednecks. Reading here that Joe Barton of Texas might get House Energy & Commerce Committee. Texan Ralph Hall for Science and Technology who strongly backs the “Texas oil and gas industry and pushed for opening Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling.”

That wailing sound you heard was me screaming.

Just to be clear, Barton was the one who apologized to BP for having to pay for desecrating the gulf. He also bangs his bible a lot.

From Isaiah:

“Wash yourselves purify yourselves, remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes. Learn to do good, seek justice, vindicate the victim, render justice to the orphan, take up the grievance of the widow.”

As to Barton and this lot particularly, Isaiah immediately continues with something they would be worried about if they actually believed in God:

“How the faithful city has become a harlot!… Your princes are rebellious and associates of thieves; each of them loves bribery and pursues payments. They do not render justice to the orphan, take up the grievance of the widow.”

Shall we discuss Haliburton or BP? How much money flows from these types into GOP coffers and to Fox? When someone like Senator Barton apologizes to BP, for having to take some responsibility for desecrating the Gulf, isn’t it obvious our “princes” pursue payments, do not render justice to the victim and are associates of thieves?
