They Eat Bullets For Breakfast So They Can Shoot Off Their Mouths All Day
The New Yorker magazine takes on the GOP version of history, including some wonderful history lessons from some of your favorite Texans.
1500s: The American Revolutionary War begins: “The reason we fought the revolution in the sixteenth century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown.”—Rick Perry
1607: First welfare state collapses: “Jamestown colony, when it was first founded as a socialist venture, dang near failed with everybody dead and dying in the snow.”—Dick Armey
2009: Michigan diversifies its legal system: “The judges in Dearborn are using, and allowing to be used, Shariah law.”—Representative Leo Berman
2010: Flying Jihad Terror Babies invade America: “It appeared they would have young women who became pregnant. They would get them into the United States to have a baby, they wouldn’t even have to pay anything for the baby, and then they would return back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists.”—Representative Louie Gohmert
Yes, Texas appears to be the most represented state when it comes to dog dump dumb Republicans.
Check them all out right about here.
Thanks to Rip for the heads up.
Texans elect goofballs. Comes the revolution….
1There simply are no words…….except one: IDIOTS.
2Already forwarded that link to every public educator that we know.
3I know we were talking Texans – but one Michele Bachmann quote really got me. I had not heard it before.
1619-1808: Africans set sail for America in search of freedom.
Uh…. yeah, because that freedom was also know as kidnapping and slavery.
4“Check them all out right about here.” I checked! Amazing … absolutely, utterly, friggen amazing the stupidity of those folks and they are allowed out in public, driving vehicles, near old folks and babies!
My God, my God what have you wrought in the Republican party … I’m loving all the up-tick of percentages for dear, sane Obama because we can’t let these nut jobs loose in the oval office! It’s bad enough they are allowed in the House, the Senate, and that God-awful Congress!!
5I usually just read and enjoy but have to comment on this from the link. The first words from the moon were “Contact light”. The next were “Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed”. I bet Ms Moon knows this.
No disrespect to Mr. Armstrong. His words were historic. But when I think about the time and event and what those words,”contact light”, meant, I get goose bumps.
6Ah Louie, that terror baby speech, you cribbed that from King Herod.
