According to the New York Times, Ryan approached him a week after the prayer, warning him to stay out of politics.
Oh that’s fucking rich…
Yea, you don’t see Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham, or other evangelicals getting involved in politics…oh wait!
What social services would Jesus cut to fund the tax cuts for the rich?
Even a whiff of talk about fairness toward all and man, you’re trifling with Ryan’s life work there, OK? I’m surprised Ryan didn’t unleash the traditional Congressional cane attack on him. Fighting words!
This looks like a job for - - - - Fighting Father Dunne
Tax breaks (subsidies) for the oil and gas Industry…
Ryan was hoping for someone with a little less Jesus and a little more Ayn Rand.
“Don’t go making us look bad and uncaring with that Sermon on the Mount type shit.”
Making us look back at Boehner as a fair-minded man. It’s like all the republican presidents who have made nixon look not that bad.
Only a man as vile and uncaring as Paul Ryan could see “let’s work for the betterment of all Americans” as getting political.
The dude is seriously sociopathy-curious. Even Reagan wept. At least you could pretend to care about them.
Why would Catholics be upset?
According to the president’s weekly Bible Study Director Catholicism is a “False” religion of the “Drunk and Depraved”. This firing was overdue. It’s past time we rein in these papist subversives.
God Bless.
No he can’t. Even pretending to care requires some degree of empathy. Conservatives simply have no empathy. If they had any empathy, they wouldn’t be conservatives in the first place.
Oh, GOP house members are upset about this? Perhaps they shouldn’t have spent the last 4 decades sowing political discord through lies and propaganda. This sort of thing is the inevitable result of that.
That said, the position shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Odd that Ryan would take a week to become aware of what the prayer said… almost like he wasn’t paying attention at the time!
Republicans would probably call ICE if the real, historical Jesus appeared amongst them preaching peace:
And the CIA would waterboard him.
Paul Rand is just trying to make room for the minister of the cult of the golden calf cheetoh.
Jesus extends his love and mercy to everyone. Everyone except the shit weasel occupying the Speaker’s chair. For Ryan he extends something else.
.
“May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by all Americans.”
Yes, I can see how that would offend Ryan.
I wonder if it can be arranged that Conroy is sitting on the other side of the screen the next time Ryan goes to Confession.
