US preacher blames Sandy on homosexuals
Nowadays your lunatic preachers aren't limited to carrying placards around city streets - they can publish all their thoughts on a blog. Before Hurricane Sandy hammered into the East Coast last night, evangelist John Mcternan heralded it on his as a work of God - punishment for both candidates being "pro-homosexual and behind the homosexual agenda".
Mcternan's blog quickly went viral, as readers picked up on his claims that far from being extreme weather, Sandy was "the Holy God of Israel systematically destroying America right before our eyes".
Mcternan also wades into foreign policy with a claim that "Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem".
After hundreds contacted him in outrage, he posted a qualification: "I am not saying this super destructive hurricane was because of the homosexual act...what I am saying is the judgment is for the government promoting homosexual 'marriage' as an ordinance."
Mcternan has a history of blaming extreme weather events on homosexuality - he said the same of Hurricane Isaac.

Looks like God hates Barack Obama and loves Mitt Romney and sent a superstorm to keep the liberal nitwits in NYC and New Jersey (and other parts of the liberal northeast) from voting.

No doubt he's nuts, but there were plenty of them around back then as well. They just didn't get the same publicity.
People who say ridiculous things and quickly receive a mass media reaction are the circus freaks of this era.

Mitt Romney was really concerned that his "Storm Relief Event" in Kettering, Ohio yesterday would look like a dud, so he and his team stocked their donation tables with $5,000 worth of supplies at Walmart. The props, according to Buzzfeed's McKay Coppins, were things like granola bars, canned food, and diapers which were strategically placed to make sure that the photographs taken at Romney's "Storm Relief" campaign didn't a show very un-busy, un-stocked relief table

Romney can't be blamed for the storm. Obama was in charge.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

My brother just sent me this photo. This was right next door to his house in New Jersey:

That's the weird thing about tornadoes. The damage can be so specific. One point will be pulverized; a few feet away will be basically untouched.
Hope you all came through ok!
