Oh, he just won’t shut up. Last week, in a column for world nut daily, Pat Boone opined on how God has done turned his back on his most favourite place, Amerikka.
Pat Boone declared that “God has lifted His hand of protection from the United States of America,” claiming that the use of food stamps, the national debt and ISIS terrorism are all signs that “we’re pretty much on our own now.”
Instead of “Morning in America,” we have 20 trillion in unpayable debt, dollar bills worth about 0 cents in purchasing power, CIA reports of festering ISIS cells in all 50 states and 47 million citizens on food stamps.
Following a president and attorney general who refuse to enforce existing immigration laws, we have a candidate who intends to admit 80,000 Syrian refugees into this country, while both the FBI and CIA guarantee there will be many trained terrorists in that number.
How can our beloved country have deteriorated so drastically? I’ll tell you how.
God has lifted His hand of protection from the United States of America.
In effect, He’s saying, “You as a people have increasingly let me know you don’t need me, you don’t even want me, to guide and determine your affairs. So … have it your way. Try it on your own for a while, and see how it goes.”
We’re pretty much on our own now.
Yes, just like we have always been. Our current state of affairs? Well, that would be humans being human, and humans are prone to fucking things up. Interesting that in the middle of all these horrible things, people on food stamps still come in for their share of blame. I guess it isn’t a proper opine if you can’t work in some way to blame poor people.
…If God can use an ass for His purpose … He can use a Donald Trump, for example. Or, of course, a Hillary Clinton. The question: Which one, if either, will actually look to Him, seek His will and not “political correctness” in the crucial decisions that will determine our future?
How will we choose? How to decide? I quote from Mae West, “If I have to choose between two evils, I’ll go with the one I haven’t tried.”
Pat Boone has never been funny, but he seems to have become an unintentional comedian. I doubt he has the slightest idea of just how much he pinged the irony meters here.
One we’ve tried, and know perhaps too well. The other is unknown, but will he seek to do the will of God if elected?
This is what we do now: Ask God to make plain to us His choice. Is there yet another David to confront our Goliath?
You better shout at that god of yours to hurry the fuck up, Pat, you’re running out of time here. Also, I have to point out that no, we have not “tried one” and we don’t know too well, because Hillary Clinton has never been president. I know it’s a difficult concept for Christians like yourself, but really, women are capable of using their brains, and having their own ideas and opinions. It might be nice if you could think through this one little problem: that David of yours seems to be quite interested in using nuclear weapons. While that might give Christians a thrill, it’s not so good for the rest of us, who are not anxious to give extinction a helping hand.

I just checked in with Thor, Freya, Luna, Hecate and Atarapa. It turns out four out of five gods agree that Hillary is the best choice.
Ed Brayton tore this one apart pretty well.

Most of that debt being military spending, tax breaks for the rich (like Pat) and spending on the intelligence/surveillance state. So if you’re looking for someone to thank, Pat, you’re wrong to be blaming the poor. With regard to ISIS -- well, that’s a creation of the imperialist/intelligence state. So, if you’re listening to the CIA talking about ISIS cells, you’re already listening to the wrong people.

Says Mr Boone:
There are some things an ass would refuse to do.

In Patworld™©(patent pending), an ass that refuses is burnt at the stake. No trial necessary. However, it is mandatory to check if Pat’s head is currently up this ass, and if so, pull the head out and insert back into Pat’s own arse. He gets confused…
