When a pundit starts a phrase with, I’m a Christian, watch out here it comes.
“I’m Christian. I’ve made mistakes. I believe fervently in second chances. Michael Vick killed dogs in a heartless and cruel way. I think, firstly, he should have been executed for that. The idea the president of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs is beyond the pale.”
Tucker Carlson, on Fox News, sitting in for Glenn Beck.
Wow, I think Mr. Carlson knotted his bow tie too tight and it’s cutting off the air to his head, oh if the problem were that simple. In one breath Carlson believes in second chances, deplores the killing of dogs and promotes the killing of human beings and claims that he believes in the redemptive foundations of following Jesus Christ.
In the quote Tucker is talking about the Philadelphia quarterback, Michael Vick who served prison time for dog fighting, a horrible act by any stretch and president Obama’s praise that he, Vick was given a second chance; something else that Tucker claims to believe in.
So, I’m left wondering, what Bible does Carlson read, and what is really behind his statement of cultural cannibalism, could it be that Carlson has a far more prejudiced agenda at work here? One can’t help but wonder. Perhaps Tucker would like to sit down with me for a bit o' Bible study.

Sounds very old testament to me - an eye for an eye. While I abhor the horrendous acts perpetrated by Vick (killing animals was NOT his worst offense - some that lived suffered much worse fates and unspeakable cruelty), I certainly don't believe he should have been executed for it. That being said, neither do I think he should be lauded. If he's repented - good for him - but that does not make him a hero... just a sinner saved by grace.
And THAT being said, Tucker is a nimrod! LOL
