Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (R-NC) is running for Governor of North Carolina against current Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC), who chose not to run for the Senate because he wanted to keep Robinson out of the Governor’s office.
Great system there in North Carolina.
But Robinson, who claims to be a classic pro-gun, anti-abortion, has quite the grifting ways:
“God gave the garden slug a way to defend itself,” he continued. “Now, if God gave the garden slug a way to defend themselves, what makes you think he didn’t give man, who he created in his own image, a way to defend himself? Those AR-15s and Glock 9mms and .45 calibers; where do you think they came from? Who do you think inspired them? God knew the world he was putting us into, so he formed in our mind the ability for us to be able to defend ourselves from anybody who may threaten us.” [Right Wing Watch]
Satan for all questions? Seriously, those questions can be answered by Satan one and all, and quite plausibly for the religious. Otherwise, his God appears to be a God of War, not peace, who inspires weapons rather than ploughshares, and likes to pluck wings off humans and throw them into a hellish world where the hand of every man is against them. Great place, eh?
But will his audience pick up that? Or are they too full of testosterone to figure out they should question what he says?
