The Washington Times is a newspaper owned by the Moonies and adored by the rightwing.

Mr. Cult Hisownself - Rev Moon

That’s the funny thing about Republicans, they don’t care who tells their lies, just so long their lies are being told.  That pretty much is why a party claiming to love family values supports Newt Gingrich or a party that wants to restore Christianity to America reads the Moonie newspaper.  And do not forget that they love the right hand of Fox through the news department and try like hell to ignore the left hand of the Fox entertainment network.

But, back to the ultra rightwing Washington Times.  The Supremes are hearing Obamacare this week and here’s the Washington Times’ headline —

.

That is the first time in recorded civilization that “open minded” and “GOP” ever appeared next to each other.

The Washington Times argues that the only vote they can count on to strike down Obamacare is Clarence Thomas.  Hellfire, they even put Scalia in the nasty “open-minded” division.  Honey, if Scalia and Thomas ever, even once, voted differently from each other, it would cause a shift in the polar ice caps.  I am sure of it.

Years ago, they made “moderate” a dirty word and now they are working on “open minded.”

And to insure that lock-step Super DeLux Brand Christianity takes out Obamacare, they held a big ole tent revival on the steps of the Supreme Court this weekend, bringing souls to Jesus and laying on of hands to cure open-mindedness.

It kinda makes you wonder what they prayed.  “Oh, Sweet Jesus, we know you did not want health care for babies born with a congenital defect.  We know you sent that child to suffer horribly and bankrupt a family.  Curing that baby will only go against what you wanted.  And we know that you said the poor would always be among us and we want to help insure that.  And people with a pre-existing condition should be lame because you made them that way.  Amen.  Praise the Lord.”

And only because Republicans are a never ending source of amazement, there’s one more thing they are attempting to argue.  Listen to this crapola they are trying to defend:

“The default conservative position after the ‘60s and ‘70s was that judges should be more restrained and defer more to the popular, political branches,” said Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow at the Cato Institute.

But now, as conservatives call on the court to overturn Mr. Obama’s signature domestic achievement, they want the court not to defer to the popular branches.

Oh, I get it.  So, now judicial activism is a good thing.  And, damn, we thought Thelma had mood swings.  She ain’t got nothin’ on these guys.

And to quote the wise man, Walter Sobchak, “I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”

Indeed, Walter, indeed.
