Endorsing blasphemy: What else would you expect from an old Marxist?

As if I needed any more reasons to disagree with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, he added them this week.

From Ben Johnson at The Washington Stand,

Over the weekend, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the most popular Democratic presidential hopeful of the last decade, thanked a trans-identifying musician for belting out a blasphemous song that accused God of rape, demeaned the Crucifixion, and insulted the Virgin Mary.

The lead singer of the group Against Me! — a man born Tom Gabel, who now calls himself “Laura Jane Grace” — put the “punk” in punk rocker when he debuted his new single, “Your God (God’s D**k)” at the Bernie Sanders “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last Friday, March 7.

“Does your God have a big, fat [organ]? ‘Cause it feels like He’s f****** me!” grunted “Grace” gracelessly. The rest of the sloppy lyrics formed a litany of mishmashed heresy, LGBTQ fetishism, and anti-Christian bile attacking the Bible’s scientifically accurate view of biological sex. The song portrayed God engaging in sodomy and “other kinks,” mocked the Virgin Mary, and besmirched the Crucifixion by conflating Christ being hung on a cross with a slang biological term. (You can read more of the lyrics, if you have the stomach, here.)

Perceptive observers viewed this pro-trans, anti-Christian blasphemy at a socialist rally as a window into the far-Left’s deepest political fantasies which, like their sexual fetishes, they would like to normalize at the national level. 

Disgusting, but quite consistent with the old Marxist dream of a world without religion. 

Why did Bernie thank the singer? Remember when Bernie answered this question,

The following exchange took place between Anderson Cooper of CNN and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in the March debate in Flint, Michigan:

Cooper: “Senator Sanders, are you intentionally keeping your Jewish faith in the background during your campaign?”

Sanders: “I am very proud to be Jewish, and being Jewish is so much of what I am. Look, my father’s family was wiped out by Hitler in the Holocaust. I know about what crazy and radical and extremist politics mean. I learned that lesson as a tiny, tiny child when my mother would take me shopping and we would see people working in stores who had numbers on their arms because they were in Hitler’s concentration camps. I am very proud of being Jewish, and that is an essential part of who I am as a human being.” (Christianity Today)

 But not essential enough for him to call out this blasphemous performance.
