On Friday, “religious” conservatives, people supposedly of faith, met at the Faith and Freedom Coalition to spew the kind of hatred which God surely never intended for His children.
That hatred was laser-pointed at the President of the United States by Republican Sen. David Perdue of Georgia, who recited the beginning of Psalm 109 — a terrifying biblical curse against a leader. It begins with “Let his days be few and let another take his office,” and ends with unspeakable harm to his widow and orphaned children. While Perdue let those passages remain unspoken, the audience knew them and broke out into guffaws of delight.
Welcome to the U.S. of hate, God-fearing Americans!
Do you hate President Obama as much as Perdue? Why? Because he’s black? No?

Then maybe it’s because he took a country on the brink of collapse and brought it back to relative health amid the greatest recession since the Great Depression.
There's still hatred directed at Obama despite his many accomplishments while in office.

Do you hate him because you were one of the 2.6 million people who lost their jobs during the Bush-induced Great Recession or one of the 14 million people who got a new job since Obama took office?
Is that fury because Obama’s administration found and killed Osama Bin Laden, who had evaded capture during both disastrous Bush terms?
Is the hatred because you now have to pay for health care and can’t use hospital emergency rooms — on the taxpayer’s dime — as your family doctor?

Do you hate Obama for ending the American wars, for the most part, in Iraq and Afghanistan, which caused the deaths of 6,800 U.S. service members and 6,900 contractors, according to the Watson Institute, as well as the wounding of 32,226. Not to mention the estimated deaths of 500,000 Iraqis, of whom two thirds were women and children?
Maybe your anger comes from believing Dick Cheney, that “rarely has a U.S. President (Obama) been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,” when in fact “Cheney’s” Mideast war cost $75,000 per household for a total of $6 trillion? This while KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary (of which Cheney had been CEO), enriched itself by $39.5 billion from that war.
Do you despise the President because he repealed the awful “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which encouraged gays and lesbians to remain in the closet if they wanted to serve our country in the military?

Maybe you hate him because he issued an executive order on gun control, even though there is more than one mass gun murder a day in America, and innocents like “Voice” alum Christina Grimmie are murdered by an assailant who carried two guns?
Ah, what? You actually hate Barack Hussein Obama because you think he’s an African Muslim; a black man who became President of the United States when so many white men deserve the job?
If Hillary is elected, you’ll probably find ways to hate a white woman as much as a black man.
The presidential election is creating enemies everywhere.

ELECTION CREATING ENEMIES
My husband and my best friend are cheating on me. Not with each other, with Hillary. I’m losing friends I want and gaining friends I don’t.
It’s the election, stupid.
My bestie, Damien Miano, and I fight over the candidates.
My husband whispers about me like he knows I have a secret, incurable disease called an opinion. I, like, God forgive me, Lindsay Graham, may write in my vote.
Damien says, “The election has become the big white elephant in the room where people can’t even have normal political discussions and disagree.
“Friendships have ended. I hear it from my clients all day. (Damien co-owns Miano-Viel Salon & Spa with political and celeb clients.) “Never mind the Facebook de-friending, contact lists are shrinking fast.”
Then, “I blame a lot of it on Trump, who’s made being a rude a-h acceptable in politics.”
I may have to shut up. I can live with a divorce, but not bad hair. Email me YOUR election story.
Fox sports sideline reporter Emily Austen became an instant racist on TV.

ROPE FOUR DOPES
What do you call four dopes sitting on a couch who drop F-bombs every two seconds? Well, besides four Robert De Niros? You call them hosts on Barstool Sports Facebook page, that’s what.
One, Fox sports sideline reporter Emily Austen, became an instant racist/anti-semite/unemployed sideline reporter after commenting on undocumented Texas valedictorian, Mayte Lara Ibarra: “I didn’t even know that Mexicans were that smart.”
Unable to stop herself, she ranted, “I used to talk to Jews in Boca, (they) would complain and b---- about everything.”
So wait, does that mean the Cavaliers’ Kevin Love is a Jew from Boca? Must be because Austen also called him “a little b----.”
How b----y.
For-profit Laureate International Universities paid Bill Clinton $16.5 million to be its “honorary chancellor.”

CLINTON COLLEGE TROUBLE
Why is it that Trump’s F-U is FP everywhere while Clinton’s p.u. isn’t spoken of?
In English that means: Trump’s fake university is front page news but you have to really search for any smelly stories about the for-profit Laureate International Universities, which paid Bill Clinton $16.5 million to be its “honorary chancellor” while Hillary was Secretary of State.
This, even though her campaign promises to crack down on for-profit colleges.
The deal was brought to light again this past week by a professor of law at the George Washington University Law School on his legal blog, jonathanturley.org.
Laureate is a $3-4 billion college company, founded and run by Douglas Becker, who reportedly never graduated from college. The company has schools around the globe, and five in the U.S., one of which is an online school called Walden University.
Bloomberg News and the Washington Post have reported on Laureate as far back as 2014, revealing that the schools use the same high-pressure tactics Trump U employs to recruit students. In fact, Laureate uses telemarketers to turbo-charge admissions with come-ons like “Remember, today we are offering 30 percent discounts!”
Don’t delay! Get your degree today!
The Wall Street Journal reported that just 31% of students at Laureate’s Santa Fe University of Art and Design even graduate. And you were worried that your kid wouldn’t get into college?
Potential White House scenarios are bad either way.

Trump calls himself a mogul, but — damn! — even he never got a $16.5 million payday for an honorary job.
He needs to go back to school.

WHITE HOUSE SCENARIOS BAD EITHER WAY
Frightening White House Scenarios: One — Hillary wins, and both Bill and the aptly named Anthony Weiner, pervert husband of Hillary’s chief aide, Huma Abedin, will be free to prowl the White House halls. …
Two — Trump wins and he looks like a DHL logo — all reddish-orange and yellow — in his official portrait. And next to White House first lady portraits of Nancy in red, Hillary in yellow, Barbara in white, and Michelle in navy is Melania in the buff.
