MONTGOMERY -- Gov.-elect Robert Bentley in a speech at a Baptist church this afternoon said he plans to be the governor of all Alabamians and be color-blind, but he also said people who aren't ''saved" Christians aren't his brothers and sisters.

"There may be some people here today who do not have living within them the Holy Spirit," Bentley said. ''But if you have been adopted in God's family like I have, and like you have if you're a Christian and if you're saved, and the Holy Spirit lives within you just like the Holy Spirit lives within me, then you know what that makes? It makes you and me brothers. And it makes you and me brother and sister."

Bentley added, ''Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters. So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother."

2. Another idiot who doesn't understand the Constitution

Let alone the fact of what a racist intolerant assholish statement that is...He said "he didn't mean to insult anyone". Thats the part that gets me mad, you DON'T GET what a hateful person you are...

3. Trouble is: there are so many idiots like him in gov't, military, media

that if it comes to a showdown, the Constitution will lose.

4. Dr. Dr. Bentley doesn't waste time...

Didn't he give this idiotic speech within an hour or so of being sworn in as governor?
And the worst part of it is that the least insane governor of the state in at least the last half century will probably end up going back to prison.

And, yes, Dr. Dr. Bentley is his real name.

5. He has 'apologized' to all other religious people for insensitive remarks

Of course, unbelievers are still scum in Alabama.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
