Quote of the Day: Clean-Slate Christianity in action

When you know that Jesus got nailed to a cross and suffered the way he did SO THAT YOU WOULD NEVER, EVER HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR SINS, life is easy.

Exhibit A is House Majority Leader John Boehner, who gives us today's Quote of the Day:

". . . What else do you want me to do? Take off my shirt and give myself forty lashes?" he asked. "Would've, could've, should've."

By that logic, we might as well save a ton of federal and local tax dollars and completely dismantle the criminal justice system. Because after all, once the damage is done, holding people to account is just "Would've, could've, should've."

Unless, of course, they're Democrats, abortion doctors, women with unplanned pregmancies, swarthy men carrying copies of the Koran, or black males who just happen to be walking around.
