New Law Lets Ambulance Personnel Deny Service To Injured Or Sick People If Religious Belief Persuades Caregivers That People-In-Peril Are God-Damned Infidels Or Better Off Dead
What's Wrong With Christian Bigots?
Walter Einenkel
Cassandra McWade got into a car accident on a stretch of highway in North Carolina. The 25-year-old McWade was fine, but her car wasn’t in any shape to drive and she needed a tow. Enter self-described “conservative Christian” Kenneth Shupe. He’s the tow truck driver that was called in to help McWade out.
When he saw “a bunch of Bernie Sanders stuff” he said he told the woman, “very politely,” that he could’t tow her car because she was “obviously a socialist” and advised her to “call the government” for a tow."Every business dealing in recent history with a socialist minded person I have not gotten paid," Shupe said. "Every time I deal with these people I get 'Berned' with an 'e' not a 'u'."
Holy. Shit. There are too many things wrong here. First, should McWade call the government that employs tons of tow truck operators and pays for their services with citizens’ money? Second, I’m not calling Kenneth Shupe a liar when he says that “socialist minded” people have not paid him but let me put it this way—Kenneth Shupe is a liar.
Shupe, who runs Shupee Max Towing in Travelers Rest, said he is a conservative Christian who supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.Shupe said he has drawn a line in the sand not to do business with Bernie Sanders’ supporters.
A quick refresher on a parable, allegedly told to the disciples by Jesus, and related in a gospel called “Luke”. The Israelites absolutely hated the Samaritans, and Jesus saying that you should show a Samaritan love is a lot more intense a statement than whether you support Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump (maybe not?). You can also see some discussion over at Passage2Truth’s diary here.
