Alabama Pastor Murders Wife, Wounds Daughter, But Fails To Stab Himself To Death

A Pastor? Are you kidding me? A Pastor…?

GARDENDALE | A prominent Alabama pastor fatally shot his wife and wounded their 18-year-old daughter in their church-owned home before grabbing a kitchen knife and trying to stab himself to death, police said Friday.

The Rev. Terry Greer, 54, is being charged with murder in the slaying of 52-year-old Lisa Greer and attempted murder in the wounding of Suzanna Greer, a University of South Alabama student, according to police in Gardendale, a suburb about 10 miles north of Birmingham.

Greer is senior pastor at Gardendale-Mount Vernon United Methodist Church near Birmingham. Prominent in Methodist circles in the area, he leads a church with an average Sunday attendance of about 670.

After Greer opened fire on his wife and daughter Thursday, the teenager grabbed the gun and ran to a neighbor’s house to alert authorities, police said.

The minister then grabbed a kitchen knife and went to a bathroom, where he repeatedly stabbed himself in his chest and neck, police said. Responding officers stopped Greer and took him into custody.

Pat Robertson’s Advise to Abused Husband – “Beat Your Wife!”

In his never-ending bid to pander to every conceivable group of voters, Mitt Romney aligned himself yesterday with Republican Pat Robertson, a Political on-air personality who also calls himself an Evangelist. And it was Pat Robertson who recently advised an abused husband to “become a Muslim and beat your wife.”

Here’s the video.

Was Romney’s Greed The Cause Of Someone’s Death

It’s a little ad made by Priorities USA – the SuperPAC supporting President Obama. The ad featured Joe Soptic, a steelworker who lost his job when Romney’s Bain Capital bought the company. Following Bain’s proven method for making a profit, Joe lost his job and his family’s health insurance coverage. Shortly after, his wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

She died 22 days later.

“I don’t think Mitt Romney understands what he’s done to people’s lives by closing the plant,” Joe says. “I don’t think he realizes that people’s lives completely changed.”

Romney’s Bain however, made a huge profit.

Romney’s Wife Calling The Shots – No More Debates For Mittens

Buzzfeed Reports: TROY, Michigan — Apparently, Ann Romney is tired of sitting in the audience at the Republican debates — she’s ready to get in on the action.

While introducing Mitt Romney at an event sponsored by Americans For Prosperity, the candidate’s wife sang his praises, and then joked that she should just take his spot at the podium.

“I also decided no more debates,” she said, as her husband stood next to her. “If we’re going to do another debate, he’s going to just sit in the audience and watch me.”

CNN canceled a debate that had been scheduled for March 1, after Romney pulled out, citing scheduling difficulties.

Oh, Now Newt Gingrich Pledges To Be Faithful To His Third Wife

This could be for a number of reasons. Maybe Newt is really sincere about being faithful to his third wife after cheating on the first two, or maybe Newt’s just being Newt – pandering to the masses, telling a specific group exactly what they want to hear at that specific moment.

With the Republican nomination elections set to begin in just a few weeks in Iowa, Newt Gingrich signed his version of a pledge to the Christian Conservative Evangelists of that state, promising to “uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others.”

Gingrich made the pledge to The Family Leader, a socially conservative group based in Iowa. The organization has its own Marriage Pledge that other 2012 White House hopefuls have signed, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

Gingrich did not sign The Family Leader’s pledge himself, but did provide a lengthy written response to the organization. The former House speaker said he was fully committed to defending traditional marriage, including enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act and supporting a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and woman.

And apparently, the Conservative group bought it. The issued this statement;

“We are pleased that Speaker Gingrich has affirmed our pledge and are thankful we have on record his statements regarding DOMA, support of a federal marriage amendment, defending the unborn, pledging fidelity to his spouse, defending religious liberty and freedom, supporting sound pro-family economic issues, and defending the right of the people to rule themselves.”

Maybe this group is just a glutton for punishment, or maybe they’re just willing to believe anything Gingrich says because they just cannot support Romney, or maybe Gingrich really has changed and is willing to do the right thing. Who knows, only time will tell if Newt can really uphold his pledge.

But this we do know. Using ‘Gingrich’ and ‘do the right thing’ in the same sentence should never be done. EVER!
