Thinking About the Separation of Church and State

So, I see that Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright is still in the news almost as much as Hillary Clinton, but no one ever mentioned again John McCain’s pastor, John Hagee, who purported that he received a supernatural message that Jews need to be in their homeland of Israel. McCain’s, unlike Obama’s simple statement of non-association was apparently enough.

But here’s what I’m thinking:

I’m thinking that I’m not at all convinced that McCain isn’t in serious cahoots with Hagee. They had already calculated the correct amount of the bribe to offer Israel’s Olmert for taking over the American Jewish population, but will have to rethink it in the face of the new administration. And, of course, they mustn’t forget the extra fees required for the illegal Mexicans they’ll have travelling with them to do the actual farming on their new kibbutzim.

I’m thinking that, if McCain wins, Hagee’s next proclamation from God will be a new mission to help all the blacks get back to their homeland of Liberia. If the Republicans can get the mass deportation system in place before the election, McCain could seamlessly flow into the White House and Barak Obama could find himself running for President on another continent. Reverend Wright can still have a field day, though, as he can seamlessly flow into his next batch of rhetoric against the geographically closer South Africans.

I’m thinking we really need to put a quick end to this misconception of the Jewish People. Because if Hagee really was hearing from God, he’d know the truth about the Jews. The Jews aren’t trying to get back to Jerusalem. We now conclude our seders with the religious motto, “Next year in Boca.” I think you’d find that segregating Jews into the ghettos of Boca Raton will be the path of lesser resistance. That is, unless Israel develops its shoreline into a high-rise gambling mecca. Then the voluntary pilgrimages will begin.

I’m also thinking that by following right on the heels of Barack Obama’s stupidity in mingling church and state, McCain’s going to have to rely on the Alzheimer’s card to explain why he had forgotten recent history and was condemned to repeat its mistake. Then, if he loses the election, he’ll have already laid foundations for his attorneys to use in his age-discrimination and/or disability lawsuits. A bunch of settlement money could at least help soothe his male ego – have you seen how much money Cindy makes?

But most of all I’m thinking the truth is that McCain is now in perfect bipartisan harmony with Obama on the issue of religion. Neither of them paid any attention when they were in church.
