Robert O'Brien Trophy Winner: Joseph Grant Swank

By Ed Brayton

If memory serves, this is actually Swank's third O'Brien trophy. I might have to make a hall of fame and put him in it to give others a chance. Why has he earned yet another award? For this column where he claims that the swine flu outbreak is a result of God's anger at Barack Obama for being a Muslim.

God's mercy now is far more stretched than any mortal can imagine. Witness the biblical data.

There comes the time when mortals' sin can go over the divine mercy line. Many biblical believers are concluding that the world is now experiencing God's wrath.

Why would God's wrath come at this particular time? Only the spiritually insensitive would ask that question. Nevertheless, obviously there are scores in that category or we would not be faced with the swine flu pandemic.
