Hagee strikes again! First it was "counterfeit" Xtians, now it's "nasty" welfare recipients.

And now (drum roll, please ) :

Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in Texas repeated a cruel talking point that has been uttered by Republicans such as House Rep. Michelle Bachmann and House Rep. Kevin Cramer. During his Sunday sermon, Hagee claimed American taxpayers are being forced to pay double taxes because of “nasty” welfare recipients who can’t find work. He then took a Bible verse out of context to claim that the federal government should allow people who rely on the social safety net to starve.

“Those who pay double through taxes, and those who get a free ride,” Hagee began. “This is not justice, and this is not the American way.”...

The verse Hagee is referring to is 2 Thesselonians 3:10, which says:

For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

The problem is, Hagee took this verse completely out of context. The passage Hagee read from is a reference to Christians who had stopped working in the false belief that Christ was returning soon. Instead of working the fields to grow their much needed crops, people became gossips and stuck their noses into the private lives of others. Paul warned these Christians to take care of their crops or starve waiting for Jesus to arrive. The verse had nothing to do with people who rely on welfare to help feed their families and everything to do with Christians neglecting doing their jobs to wait for Jesus to return. Sounds a lot like House Republicans.

1. “He who does not work, neither shall he eat” also appears in the 1936 Soviet Constitution

So that should leave people to ask... Are today's conservative Christians closer to what they preach according to the Bible OR what Stalin said?

2. He never preaches about "adultery"

Knocked up his secretary while still married to Mrs. Hagee number one. A truly loathsome individual.

3. Again, Hagee is shitting bigotry and hate from his mouthhole.

Hagee's an evil, subhuman religious parasite. He makes his millions sucking tithes in the way that a tick sucks blood.

4. Well, Hagee sure knows from nasty. Horrid person!

5. Hagee is not a taxpayer. His con game is *subsidized* by the rest of us actual taxpayers.

Hypocrite.
