Rick Wiles: Homosexuality And Abortion Rights Caused California Drought

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-wiles-homosexuality-and-abortion-rights-caused-california-drought

End Times broadcaster Rick Wiles knows what is to blame for the record California drought: gay people and legal abortion.

While discussing the drought on his “Trunews” radio show yesterday, Wiles said that measures to conserve water are not going to help the state since it is currently experiencing divine punishment.

“Rain will follow repentance,” Wiles said. “The state is in the forefront of spiritual rebellion against God: abortion; homosexuality; pornography; Hollywood’s movies that promote sexual immorality, violence, bloodshed, witchcraft, occult practices; the television industry; the crime and street violence in California cities. All of it has combined to reach a level of depravity that has reached Heaven and God has no other choice but to cut off the rain. So let’s see how long Californians will suffer without water before they humble themselves, repent of their sins and call upon God to save them.”


Um, doesn't every state have homosexuality and abortion rights? And wasn't snow-covered Massachusetts the first to legalize same-sex marriage? What rock did this guy crawl out from under, anyway?

In bygone times, this might have been useful for getting large numbers of people to cooperate (just guessing).

But now, religion is just an exploit of that flaw (whatever it is -- there clearly is something wrong).

Rick Wiles is an idiot, and uber bigot. He's no better or worse than any number of insane fundamentalist preachers I could name.

When someone's a run of the mill bigot, you figure, "Oh, he's just an asshole." But when they start worrying about witches, that's when you can lean back and declare, "oh, I see. He's totally batshit crazy!"

There's something almost soothing when you realize someone like that is inherently self-dismissing.

Hmmmm. Wonder what has God so pissed off at Texas -- the list of possibilities goes on and on and on.

I am just surprised it hasn't been laid at the feet of the Jews. You know we do control the weather and shit.


It never ceases to amaze me how natural occurrences are blamed on certain types of people with no scientific evidence, but these same people deny climate change! So in a way, the climate change IS the responsibility of people!

The new right-wing mantra:

Climate change is NOT man-made, except when it is, and then we know it is gays and abortionists to blame!

You know, I never thought of it that way. They reall need to make up their minds. Of course that in and of itself is an oxymoron, so we'll just have to sit back and enjoy the comedic value of their mental deficiency.

But it's really disturbing when they have followers.

How much of our population is just one conman's speech away from agreeing with this?

Put up a website, start spewing some stupid hateful nonsense and then ask for donations. There is obviously a market for it and it looks like a pretty easy gig. Once I'd covered the cost of my monthly Ambien prescription so I could sleep at night the rest would be all PROFIT!

Now it time to blame first the gays, then the blacks and browns, and round it out with some Jew and Muslim bashing. It's the America way.
