Saturday hate mail-a-palooza

I came across this passage while looking for an image to illustrate this post. It certainly is relevant given the first of today's hate mails, below the fold:  

Leftists say Jesus Christ was opposed to violence?and therefore guns?because He told his followers to ?turn the other cheek,? ?love your enemies,? ?pray for those who persecute you,? ?overcome evil with good,? and, of course, the old familiar saw, ?do not make use of force against an evil man.? Also, He allowed the authorities to crucify Him when He could have split the heavens open like a rotten coconut and destroyed them and their courts of corruption with a rain of hell fire that would?ve had the U.S. Marines crapping their pants.

But freethinking liberals quote these passages of Holy Scripture out of context in a barely disguised effort to make Americans soft and usher in the New Age of Godlessness. U.S. citizens wouldn?t anymore let somebody shoot at them without fighting back than they would lend somebody money without expecting it back plus interest, something else socialists claim Jesus advocated. We must never forget the prophet Isaiah?s warning: Godless nations will one day stop training for war and start cooperating with one another by confiscating our swords, melting them into ploughs and forcing us all to become farmers. Substitute the word ?swords? for our modern-day guns, and you?ll get the dire picture Isaiah was trying to paint. Liberals will never be happy until they turn America into a nation of PETA-loving, vegetable-eating girly men. And women, I guess.

Not a lot of volume this week. But do they make up for it with quality? You be the judge, below the fold.
