The question presented in this article and the author's commentary should be of grave concern to all Americans that believe the rhetoric of members of the American Christian Right-Wing belongs in a former time frame of our history and is, therefore, not appropriate for todays enlightened society. Scapegoating the tragic deaths of innocent 6 to 7 year school children to somehow prove the existence of God Almighty's potential wrath on the concept of man's sin is totally unconscienable and totally unacceptable.--AB

Fischer: "God Didn't Stop CT School Shooting Because He's A Gentleman Who Doesn't Go Where He Is Not Wanted"

Favorite Comments From Readers Of Fischer's Post:

"First of all, prayer is not banned in any school. Any student can bow their head or close their eyes and in their head say any prayer they want. It is organized prayer representing only one belief over any other and made mandatory by people in authority that is banned. Do all students and teachers and employees drop their religious beliefs in a box when they enter the building? Of course not! If you have a religious belief it is deposited in your heart and mind and displayed by the way you treat other people with dignity and respect."

"Here's the bottom line, God is not going to go where he is not wanted."--Fischer

"I find it interesting that this person does not believe his god is omnipresent, but most Xtians don't really believe in their god anyway. That is why they feel they need guns, but they'd never admit it."-- Commenter 

*******************************************************************

"I went to public school in the late 50s into the 60s and never once did we pray. We never had prayer in schools. Is this guy saying that the shooter would have driven past this school if they had been praying and driven to a non-praying school to commit this horriffic act? Shame on the wing nuttery - this is completely disgusting."

Is Bryan Fischer of the Tupelo Mississippi AFA a true representative of Christianity when he claims God is unconcerned about the tragic shooting deaths of 20 little school children?-- AB

Bryan Fischer spent the first hour of his radio program today discussing this morning's truly horrific shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, which he, of course, blamed on the fact that prayer, the Bible, and the Ten Commandments are not taught in public schools.

Fischer said that God could have protected the victims of this massacre, but didn't because "God is not going to go where he is not wanted" and so if school administrators really want to protect students, they will start every school day with a prayer.

“Sununu is about the biggest windbag the GOP has who says what a lot of Republicans think. When you hear some GOP say that social security, medicare, military and civil service retirement are entitlement programs, then you have a group of people who do not think.

If they want to see entitlement programs, then look at the big contractors that live off Government contracts with all the waste and abuse that is inherent in those programs with fraud rearing its ugly head every so often in a contract. With the manhour rates of defense contractors, they are ripping off the Government to pay their Chief Executives over $20M a year with million dollar bonuses each year.

Sununu/Romney group think anyone getting a check from the federal government is a taker. Let's start with the takers in Congress and their staffs. Cut their salaries back to 2000 and Congressionals staffs in half -- write their own bills not lobbyist.

Look no further for bloated Government then the Congress and DoD.

For the Republican Party to say they are for limited government is a joke. They grew government during the Bush years. Yet in a campaign where Romney wanted to increase Defense spending by over $2T, they still touted themselves as limited government types wanting to limit social security and medicare while increasing defense. Cannot believe people still buy into that rhetoric. They need to take off their blinders!”
