Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

From the increasingly unhinged Glenn Beck on his radio show:

No, did he say -- go quote the scripture to your professor. Ask him, did Jesus say when a man asks for your shirt, you give the government your coat, also, and have the government give that coat to the man? No. The government is a middleman. The government is acting in the role of Lucifer. They are taking stuff from you. They are forcing you -- yes, I did, I did just say, yes, the government is the devil. They are taking your choices from you. There is -- you ask your professor this. I hope you're writing this stuff down and I want to hear the answers from this nut job of a professor. You ask this -- you ask your professor this: At what point -- now, jeez, I just lost it. What were we talking about before that? The government is the devil, I remember that.

I must have missed the part of the Bible that talked about Satan giving out welfare checks and health care.
