Seven Deadly Sin Watch: The American Right and Its Bumper Stickers

The Psalm 109 bumper sticker crowd is guilty of two deadly sins: Wrath and the deadliest sin, Pride (Superbia in Latin). It’s one thing to be angered by a president’s policies, it’s quite another to wish him dead. To presume to know the will of God—to invoke (even in veiled terms) scripture to incite assassination—is Pride personified. I fear that First and Second Amendment fetishists may fell Obama. To my American friends: please pray for your president’s safety and for love to soften the hearts of the radical right.
