Bully pulpits

For those of you who believe, here's two divergent holiday messages from religious leaders:

First -- "OMG, class warfare!"

The archbishop of Canterbury today said that the burden of the economic downturn should be "fairly shared", amid fears that the less well-off in society were being hit the hardest. In his Christmas Day sermon, Dr Rowan Williams spoke of "a lasting sense the most prosperous have yet to shoulder their load".


Second -- the timeless classic, 'being an asshole':

A high-level priest on the morning show of the largest television station in Greece blamed world Jewry for Greece's financial problems.

The Metropolite of Piraeus Seraphim also blamed world Jewry for other ills in the country during his appearance on Mega TV.

Mixing Freemasons with Jewish bankers such as Baron Rothschild and world Zionism, the Metropolite said that there is a conspiracy to enslave Greece and Christian Orthodoxy. He also accused international Zionism of trying to destroy the family unit by promoting one-parent families and same-sex marriages.

Thirteen minutes into the program the Greek host asked the Metropolite, "Why do you disagree with Hitler's policies? If they are doing all this, wasn't he right in burning them?"

The Metropolite answered, "Adolf Hitler was an instrument of world Zionism and was financed from the renowned Rothschild family with the sole purpose of convincing the Jews to leave the shores of Europe and go to Israel to establish the new Empire."


And then they settled down to watch Glenn Beck.

You mean Hitler wasn't a Liberal Fascist?

This is going to come as a huge shock to DoughBob LoadPants.

Apparently, Constanza really did some lasting damage with that brief conversion.

The metropolitan way of looking at history seems affected and afflicted by current unpleasant conditions calling for an old jewish scapegoat rather than the rural way of seeing the euro and EU as the problem.

So the Rothschild family employed Hitler to convince the Jews to leave Europe, eh? Damn, that's what I call a hard sell!
