Pray for Rush? For what?

So, Rush Limbaugh, hypocrite, has lung cancer. And, beyond being a hypocrite on religious values, he's a hypocrite in other ways, which I list near the bottom. And he's a hypocrite on the issue of his health, which we'll get to in just a minute.

But, first, an update. From one pilonidal cyst to another, Trump is giving old Rusty the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

(As for Rush's lack of religiosity, or at least lack of church participation? Not just me; a hardcore denizen of Wingnutistan like Crunchy Con Rod Dreher has called him out.

And as for Trump's lack of religiosity, he's probably praying for more wingnut icons to get sick so he can reward them this way during campaign season.

"Dear God, if Hannity gets the coronavirus, I'll give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.")

First, let's read Almighty God himself pointing out ol Rusty being hung by his own petard on what's the issue at hand.

"There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive... And the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.” --Rush Limbaughhttps://t.co/bj7nNUjJhQ

Add this, of related hot take:

Cigar Magazine loses another asshole. Rush Limbaugh has "advanced lung cancer." Will you #PrayForRush? pic.twitter.com/vWC90HL8XD

There you go.

Now, a few more from yours truly.

First, who doesn't like Twitter polls?

Given that Rush Limbaugh is, AFAIK, functionally irreligious, and certainly acts as irreligiously as Trump, the trending "Prayers for Rush" over his lung cancer diagnosis is:

And, yes, his "god," if any, is ultimately the god of Ayn Rand and of social Darwinism. So, I guess ol Rusty isn't the fittest? That poll is open for a week of the time of blogging this.

Per the cigar mag guy, I offer this:

#PrayForRush reminds me of the old political joke when a politician is told his constituents are praying for him and he fires back: "Which way"?

There's more coming, folks.

There you go.

And, if you want REAL snark:

It's too late to #PrayForRush — Neil Peart died a month ago.

BOOM

As longer-term online and meatspace friends know, I can snark with the best.

Then, one of many from the non-reality based community;

Under the #PrayForRush, we have the Get a Life / Clue / Grip Tweets. I wld cry over the death of an actual family member. An entertainer? I love Tom Hanks, but wouldn't cry over his pending death. Ditto when Alex Trebek's cancer was announced. https://t.co/QbpoeHfld1

— reallyDonaldTrump 🚩🌻 (@AFCC_Esq) February 3, 2020

Seriously. Get a life. And if dittoheads act toward me like Kobestanners did toward Sonmez a week ago?

Meanwhile, this person wants a nonexistent entity to help Rush's cancerous lungs get pneumonia, I guess:

God, please, watch over Rush during this uncertain time in his life. Please Lord, breathe Your Love Into Rush’s lungs. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. 🙏🏻 #PrayForRush

THAT's snark.

In reality, as a secularist, I don't pray for anybody.

If there were a god, looking at alleged Christian morality, I would pray for him to bring Limbaugh to the proper humility that would lead to repentance for his many various sins.

Besides his divorces, his mean-spiritedness and his Eighth Amendment violations, I would pray to such an entity for Rush to be enlightened from the sin of willful ignorance, or even the sin of pseudoscience. Besides the above on cancer, and his well-known stance on climate change denialism, Rusty has also been a flirter with the antivaxxer world. More here.

He'll probably go to Mexico for laetrile or some other pseudomedicine, if he can't find it here. And, if he can't stand the pain, will his opioid addiction pop back up? That's among the many other hypocrisies in his life, per RationalWiki.
