Matt Taibbi nukes "American Sniper"

I enjoy reading Matt Taibbi, but only now and then. I couldn't take him on a regular basis. But once every month or two, I enjoy reading his words. The man murders his subjects, which is fitting for a review of American Sniper. Here's a link to the article and here's a paragraph from it:
Sniper is a movie whose politics are so ludicrous and idiotic that under normal circumstances it would be beneath criticism. The only thing that forces us to take it seriously is the extraordinary fact that an almost exactly similar worldview consumed the walnut-sized mind of the president who got us into the war in question.
And that takes care of that. In case you're not familiar with Taibbi, the man typically rips the life out of his subjects and then tears their corpses to shreds. In this case, it's well deserved. More at the link.

Isn't Jesus sending them a message?

If there really was a Jesus (don't worry; there isn't), He might send signs to Americans, to guide them in the gun debate.

He might have some guy shoot a school bus driver and take a 5-year-old kid hostage in an underground bunker.

He might make an Iraq war veteran shoot dead the author of "American Sniper" at a gun range.

He even might let five people get shot at gun ranges on "Gun Appreciation Day".

All this has happened, yet Christians don't see a "sign" in this. On the other hand, every tornado screams "gay marriage" at them. These folks wear blinders 24/7. The signs are everywhere, even without a real Jesus to make them. It's time for guns to disappear from the American landscape.
