‘Demonic’ Dog Hanged And Burned For Jesus

Another example of the insanity caused by religious zealotry.  It takes a really mentally disturbed person to do this.

A Spartanburg County woman told animal control officers God advised her to hang and then burn her nephew’s pit bull because it was “a devil dog” and because it had chewed her bible.

Spartanburg County animal control officers said Miriam Fowler Smith, 65, of Pacolet Mills, confessed to wrapping an extension cord around the dog’s neck, hanging it from a tree, and then setting it on fire.

Smith faces one felony count of ill treatment of animals in general, and she remains in the Spartanburg County Detention Center as of this posting.

The dog, named Diamond, belonged to Smith’s nephew, Andy Fowler, who left the home on Jan. 9. When he returned Jan. 15, Fowler noticed the dog wasn’t there.

He told officers he assumed the dog had gotten loose and was running free, but when he pressed his aunt, she confessed to killing it, according to animal control officers.

Huckabee’s Son Tortured And Killed A Dog? Dad Says “Children Are Not Puppies!”

Mike "puppies" Huckabee

A good write-up about this at Daily Kos, “Thank God Huckabee doesn’t think children are puppies!”

Here’s my two bits: Mike Huckabee, formerly the governor of Arkysaw, has compared loving, committed same-sex relationships to incest, polygamy, and bestiality.  (Huckabee is another one of the religious extremists who regularly hit the crack pipe, or huff household chemicals — it’s gotta be something.)

The latest pig-ignorant thing out of his mouth is in regard to gay couples adopting.  “Children are not puppies”, says Huckabee.  He says this is not the time to “experiment” on children.  So, WTF, he’s saying there is a time for him to experiment on kids?  You know, like the Church does?  Maybe his youngest son was “experimenting” when he (allegedly/actually) teamed up with his buddy (in July, 1998) to torture a dog, hang him from a tree and slit his throat, and then stoned him.

WTF goes on at the Huckabee house?  That is some seriously fucked up kids — the future-serial-killer kind of fucked-up … not sayin’ he’s a serial killer, just sayin’ that is some seriously disturbed, fucked up shit for anyone to do, let alone a goddamned kid.  Just fucking sick of the moral judgements that come from sick religious  moral degenerates.

Huckabee, like all the other pig-ignorant extremists, are completely clueless about the real world outside of the fantasy in his own head.  Hey, Mike, the reality is, there are already thousands of adults today who grew up with same-sex parents.  I know of more than one example, personally.  Gay parents have been raising their children for a long ass time, and doing quite well at it.  Do not pretend that the millions of children abused by their natural parents don’t exist — my ex-wife was horribly sexually abused by both her mother and step-father together — she spent the rest of her youth in bad religious foster homes.
