Who is sending Isaac?
That rhetorical question is aimed at Republicans and Tea Partiers, aka, the God fearing religious conservatives.
The rest of us know that hurricanes develop when the atmospheric conditions are favorable, such as around a weak disturbance in the atmosphere when water evaporated from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air.
We know it because we look up the FACTS and we reason…
But if we put ourselves in the mindset of GOP voters, the church going, conservative Christians, (note that these are very different from the GOP sponsors – the exploitative greedy corporatists), then we might think that God does not like the GOP too much, or why would he be sending Isaac on the week of the Republican convention in Tampa?
Maybe he is angry? Maybe he disapproves of Todd Akin's words. Maybe he wants all humans to love and respect each other regardless of race, sexual orientation, immigrant status, wealth, etc. Maybe he believes in paying taxes? Maybe he dislikes the 1% (Wall Street, big oil and other corporations that fund the GOP). Maybe he believes that it is not the individual that should be above everything else, but the social and community values that matter most?
Perhaps you can think of some other reasons, if you can suspend your disbelief for a moment, just for the fun of it.
