Walker: I Don't Know If Obama Is Christian


Scott Walker can't seem to stop putting his foot in his mouth, especially when he is confronted with those hard hitting questions like if he believes in evolution or if he thinks Obama loves our country.

One might think that Walker would have learned by now, but one would be sadly mistaken. Walker ended up sounding like a damn fool again when he questioned Obama's faith:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a prospective Republican presidential contender, said Saturday he does not know whether President Obama is a Christian.

“I don’t know,” Walker said in an interview at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, where he was attending the winter meeting of the National Governors Association.

Told that Obama has frequently spoken publicly about his Christian faith, Walker maintained that he was not aware of the president’s religion.

“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said, his voice calm and firm. “I’ve never asked him that,” he added. “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”
At least he didn't say he didn't know if Obama was American because he didn't see the birth certificate - not yet, anyway.

Ironically, people are starting to question whether Walker is actually a Christian, given that his policies are completely opposite of the teachings of the Bible, especially when it comes to the poor.

Walker went on to whine about all those mean reporters that ask such tough questions. He probably wishes that all reporters would be like his friends at Faux News or on squawk radio, who only ask him how wonderful he is. Walker even had his spokeswoman call to yell at the reporter:
After the interview was completed, Walker spokeswoman Jocelyn Webster telephoned The Washington Post to say the governor was trying to make a point of principle by not answering such kinds of questions, not trying to cast doubt on Obama’s faith.

“Of course the governor thinks the president is a Christian,” she said. “He thinks these kinds of gotcha questions distract from what he’s doing as governor of Wisconsin to make the state better and make life better for people in his state.”
Now, obviously, this is nothing more than dog whistle politics, which is one thing Walker can do very well.

But he is also ending up to seem more and more like Sarah Palin, who couldn't even answer the question about which papers and magazines she reads.

Then again, Walker does have a tendency to use selective knowledge. All throughout the two John Doe investigations into his illegal politicking, his favorite answer has been "I don't know," even though evidence - like spending nearly a million dollars on a legal defense fund - shows that he damn well did know what was going on.

I can't wait until the national media asks him another hardball question, like what the color of his white shirt is or if he thinks Obama is black.

  1. I've never actually talked with Walker about whether he is a Christian or not. How could I say whether Walker is a Christian or not?

    1. I don't really know whether SKW beats his wife or not. How could I say? He can speak for himself, so I'll leave it up to him.

  2. Weird...recently studied he concepts servant leadership at a catholic college, as it relates to Jesus's teachings. I'm pretty sure Scott walker doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. I make this judgment based on his actions and statements, both of which occur on a daily basis. Pretty clear that Walker doesn't much care for his country or his state either, though he certainly seems intent on reshaping both of them into something only he (a Koch brother) could love.

  3. capper, great post, thank you.

    Evidently, the elites who are backing Walker don't read scripture. Christianity's a tough religion.


    Matthew 10: 23 "And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, tonly with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter vthe kingdom of God.”

    Matthew 19:16 "And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions."

    Matthew 25:

    41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

    44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

    45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

    46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

    When was the last time Gov. Walker visited someone in prison?

  5. Expecting intellectual honesty from scott walker is more than a misplaced fantasy.

    He has fetal alcohol syndrom, which is why his eyes are so screwed up. Credible out of Delavan are that his mom was an alcoholic. Look at the pic below to see how to recognize when an adult has fetal alcohol syndrome:

    And he comes from a long line of evangelicals that worship the dollar.

    His data was a preacher/bookkeeper! Now there's a pretty strange combination when you realize that bookkeepers specialize in massaging numbers to misrepresent financial reports for various purposes (including tax avoidance).

  6. Ah, there's no more ideologically-pure Christians to be found than a bunch of lunatic Democrats hanging out at a scummy hate blog. Thanks once again for delivering your judgment, kooks.

    1. I feel sorry for you that you feel that quoting Jesus is scummy, and people who do such are lunatics.
      I am not a Democrat, as a matter of fact, leaned Republican until I have witnessed the antichristian actions of our current governor. Walker has taken any human judgment out of the equation in determining whose message he is following.
