Repent Thyself, Repent America

I haven't spent much -- any, really -- time blogging about things with a political bent. But I can't keep quiet on this one. A group called "Repent America" (yeah, I'll get right on that) has made an astonishing discovery: gays and boobies are to blame for Hurricane Katrina.

I simply refuse to give these insects a link, so I will point you instead to the post at Shakespeare's Sister where I learned of the matter.

Apparently Michael Marcavage, the leader of this vile little band of thugs, has a problem with New Orleans, a city that formerly harbored "drunken homosexuals," and "drunken women exposing their breasts."

I don't get it. He says that like it's a bad thing.

He states:

“Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city. From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence’, New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same.”
Of course, this thesis does not explain the continued survival of Key West. But apparently Mr. Marcavage will take what he can get. His press release continues:

“Let us pray for those ravaged by this disaster. However, we must not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long.”
So, what? We don't pray quite as hard?

These people should fuck right off, and the sooner, the better.
