№ 357.1: EXTRA! What Sessions Mentions (or beware evil weevils quoting scripture)

There are two dominant places in American history when Romans 13 is invoked,” said John Fea, a professor of American history at Messiah College in Pennsylvania. “One is during the American Revolution [when] it was invoked by loyalists, those who opposed the American Revolution.”

The other, Fea said, “is in the 1840s and 1850s, when Romans 13 is invoked by defenders of the South or defenders of slavery to ward off abolitionists who believed that slavery is wrong. I mean, this is the same argument that Southern slaveholders and the advocates of a Southern way of life made.”
Who would not love
be there the day
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III
passes away?
There, at the Pearly Gates, with St. Pete
on the day Jeff's called to meet
and explain to his maker
why all his life he was
such a Gawd-awful faker,
pretending to “Christian” ideals,
fortified by out-of-context appeals
to King James Bible chapter and verse
which read as a whole say just the reverse
of what he claims.
But, as you know, Jeff has other aims.

His maker's reprimand will be terse
and the result for Jeff will be worse
than that meted out to lesser political hacks
because his maker loves Hispanics and Blacks
more than He cares for White Hoods who claim
they know His will and do crap in His name.
