Yep. That knowledge would have reduced the budget for his film considerably.

Does this guy vote in favor of, say, a public safety budget? Why doesn't he just wait for God to touch the hearts of the local criminals so they won't commit any more crimes?

It just goes to show that wingnuts are still fucking the neo-Confederate chicken....government wasn't responsible for ending slavery and government was wrong for 'distorting' the market which would have abolished slavery itself. These same tired arguments are advanced by sophisticated neo-Confederates who also advance the godliness of the Confederacy versus the Union.

"Awkward' is not a concept with which these wingnuts are familiar.*

Lots of folks cited both the Old and New testaments in favor of slavery. http://www.ushistory.org/us...

*Neither is 'consistency' or 'sanity'.

The Religious Right wants liberals to pray for what they want. In the meantime, they'll just take Koch/Adelson cash to get what THEY want.

I'm 99.9% positive that pointing out how Lincoln was God's agent against the evil of the Confederacy will still get you murdered in Virginia.

Bill-o wrote the 13th Amendment. With Thomas Jefferson's pen. Which was a present from Lincoln.

Ah yes. The god who ordered slavery, told you who all you can take as slaves, described in detail how to beat your slaves, then, after the Old Testament got tossed out Because Jesus endorsed slavery again through a letter explicitly sending a slave back to his owner with no commands to free him or anything...This god stopped slavery.

In other news, Loki is now being credited with the invention of seriousness.

So the government didn't end slavery, God did. Via a Constitutional amendment and a huge federal army.

I'm pretty sure I put more thought into my Wonkette comments than Dunn does into his official actions.

"It was the hand of God touching the hearts of man that freed those slaves."

Just as it was the hand of God touching the hearts of man that enslaved them in the first place. God is an asshole.

It's Cafeteria Christianity but so-called "Christians" don't eat there. They go across the street to the "Fuck Thy Neighbor Cafe" which serves high calorie, low nutrition meals like canned unicorn.http://cdn.firstwefeast.com...
