According to leading wingnut Rethug Rep. Michell Bachmann, who chose to spend her vacation time courting wingers from another state (Colorado) when she could have been responding to the concerns of her own, Democratic attempts at heath care reform have
…the strength to destroy this country forever….What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing.”
Re the progressive income tax structure initiated by Republican Teddy Roosevelt, which is today at historic lows:
Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.
Such violent imagery is typical of the advanced stages of agitation propaganda. As I indicated in a previous post, once the threshold from preparation to activation is crossed, ever increasing amounts of teh crazy is required to keep its propagandees engaged.
Bachmann is just the ticket.

Jesus was no Christian by today’s moving measure.
We have plenty of religion but little God to be found there.
Lots of zeal spread in many directions for wisdom to clean up.
Is that enough rope?
Live from what we’re becoming we must, not what we are today.
“Re the latter, Iowa Rethug Congreesman Steve King has the early lead among wingers, describing immigration as a “slow-motion holocaust” that “threatens an eventual destruction of the middle class”.”
What he means to say is the white race. Which begs the same question, What the fuck is wrong with these people and how can they call themselves Christian?
Another hot steaming helping of Batshit Crazy from Bachman. She is very violent and crazy. It really bothers me to imagine the kind of shrill, fearful paranoiacs who elected her into office.
I think what we are witnessing is a kind speeded up, time lapse video of a rotting corpse. Trying to explain anything to a party in a state of advanced decomposition like the Rethugs is futile. They’ve already finished eating their own (moderates), and like a bunch of brain eating zombies show up at these town hall meetings ravenous for something else to consume. They’re even scaring senators like McCain so much that he’s now speaking behind closed doors to selected audiences.
The health care reform is just the beginning. Wait till they get to cap and trade, card check, and immigration. Re the latter, Iowa Rethug Congreesman Steve King has the early lead among wingers, describing immigration as a “slow-motion holocaust” that “threatens an eventual destruction of the middle class”.
More rope, please.
Is there any kind of freakin LOGIC in the rethuglican’t party?
“Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.”
How is Health Care Reform, taxes and any kind of government overhaul considered a loss of freedom? Didn’t they see how much freedom we lost under the Bush Administration?
Didn’t Jesus say, Give to Caesar what is his, give to God what belongs to Him? (I can’t quote, I just have the gist of it)
Don’t these people proclaim to be Christians? I really wish someone would ask of these people how Christian it is to deny someone health care? How Christian is it to be all about me, me me first? How Christian is it to pray for harm or even death to a man who IS trying to do what is right, President Obama? maybe I’m wrong, sure won’t be the first time, but I really believe that Obama’s Agenda is more Christian than the whole herd of these Lizard brained wing nuts. (Okay, I think he’s wrong about Afghanistan, but he thinks he’s doing the right thing). I sincerely do not believe that Obama has evil, or whatever label you want to use, in his heart. The man is a force for good. I just pray that he succeeds in getting things right and ignoring these nutters.
Can anybody at all pose one of these questions to them?
