Doing God's work, Nutso style

Another right-wing fundamentalist teaching us how to be a Christian. Fundamentalist beliefs/instructions of the twisted, radical nutso type (Michele Bachmann springs to mind) are these: despise anyone who is a different color or lives a different lifestyle or has a different sexual orientation--and especially fear and hate them if they are Muslim. Tell yourself they don't deserve to live. Buy a lot of guns and then kill anyone you think isn't in step with your beliefs. We've had the abortion clinic murders here committed by religious zealots such as this -- egged on by the fanatical right wing big mouths like Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Beck. Right wing fanatics and their "pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands" love of guns, combined with their fears and prejudices that are being stoked by their Tea Party candidates day in and day out, are a very dangerous crowd.

EXCERPT: As stunned Norwegians grappled with the deadliest attack in the country since World War II and a shocking case of homegrown terrorism, a portrait began to emerge of the suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, 32. He was described as a religious, gun-loving Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threat of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration to the cultural and patriotic values of his country.

“We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised news conference. “What we know is that he is right wing and a Christian fundamentalist.”
