Social Media Storm Hits Applebee’s Hard

Cross-posted from The American Complaint Department News Magazine

If you haven’t heard the story of Chelsea Welch then you have probably been living under a social networking rock for the last week.  Chelsea is the waitress fired from Applebee’s for posting an image of a receipt left by Pastor Alois Bell of Truth in the Word Deliverance Ministries in St. Louis.  The comments left by Pastor Bell, and the subsequent firing of Ms. Welch, have caused a social media backlash that has washed over Applebee’s like a tidal wave.  Unfortunately, Applebee’s made the situation much worse with a completely mismanaged public relations response.

Apparently the Ninth Commandment is Optional for Republican Supporters



As I'm sitting here reading through the posts by my liberal friends on Facebook, I see multiple discussions about the flood of lies that has come from the Romney campaign.  It made me think about Republicans and how they are constantly attempting to write Christianity into the law.  It occurred to me that the supporters of Romney, many of whom are supposedly "good Christians," are supporting someone who has broken one of the 10 Commandments countless times. 

Well, maybe not entirely countless.  This article discusses how Romney told 533 lies in 30 weeks.  That's a pretty good count.  This is 533 documented violations of the Ninth Commandment in a 30 week period.  That's impressive.  One of Romney's pollsters, Neil Newhouse, even said that "[the Romney campaign is] not going to let [their] campaign be dictated by fact-checkers."  Translation:  We're not going to let the truth stand in our way. 


I'm not saying Obama and his campaign are perfect.  But, as a group of people who are supposedly so interested in demonstrating their Christian faith (hence the opposition to gay-marriage and the panic about the word God being left out of the Democratic platform), how can these people, in good conscience, vote for a party that has demonstrated a complete lack of regard for one of the 10 Commandments that they hold so dear?  I guess God declared that commandment optional as long as you persecut those horrible gays that aren't even mentioned in the commandments.
