Yes, and Dancin’ Causes Pneumonia
Oh sweet Texas, I love yew.
We have a guy here named David Barton who you are fixin’ to get to know pretty well. He’s threatening to be the Tea Party candidate against Texas Senator John Cornyn because the only thing worse than a black man in the White House is a moderate RINO.
Barton has found the cause of global warming.
Abortion.
You think I’m jacking with you, right? You think it’s something from The Onion, right?
Oh no, I am not jacking with you.
Once “you open the door to killing,” Barton added, “it’s got a lot of different manifestations” because the nation immediately falls under the judgment of God as He removes his protection and “whap, here comes storms like we’ve never seen before and here comes floods and here comes climate stuff that we can’t explain; all of the hot times and all the cold times and not enough rain and too much rain and we’re flooding over here and we’ve got droughts over here … And today we’re saying ‘oh no, it’s global warming.” No, we opened a door that lost God’s protection over our environment and that’s our choice.”
And this man wants to tech this crap in Texas public schools.
Now why abortion picked that particular door and not the one that brings locusts, I dunno. I suspect David doesn’t either.
Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
Look at the run on! Wow! Very nervous, insecure type. He’s sure he’s gonna get beat so he’s come up with his story as a pre-emptive thingie. Sad. Just sad.
1just, WOW. What are Texans drinkin’?
2Glenn Beck has moved on from pushing Gohmert to run against Cornyn to pushing this idiot. Barton is the head of a group who believes that the US Constitution was written by Jesus and the US has always been a “christian” nation.
3So….God is punishing the whole world because of the abortions in America? Climate change is happening everywhere.
4Customers, here is enough info on Barton to keep you busy for a while. Most of this is from the controversy Barton stirred up when he tried to pedal his book on Jefferson as fact.

http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Jefferson-Right-President-ebook/dp/B007ZUDUAU Look at some of the commentary and reviews here.
Note in his biography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Barton_(author) that he has absolutely NO credentials as a historian. NONE.
Sorry I cannot personally supply barf buckets to all.
5This clown even earns the scorn of a significant number of conservatives. On the bright side, given his views on just about everything, we can hope he takes up snake handling.
6….And the winner of the DON KNOTTS lookalike contest is….
7“David Barton has proven time and time again that he is perfectly comfortable distorting the facts when he isn’t outright lying about them.”
http://www.examiner.com/article/david-barton-doesn-t-need-religion-or-a-bible-to-be-a-big-fat-liar
8He does understand that aborition has been around for a really, really long time…I can’t remember the name of the plant (it had heart shaped leaves) but it was gathered to extinction in the early roman times because it was so popular as a way of bringing on missed periods…
9And mid wives used to kill and dispose of malformed babies, because they were too big of a burden on families…what a bunch of maroons, so out of touch with real life, real grief, and
What needs to be a private matter between a woman, her partner and her doctor
Are these examples of how the USA used to be under God’s protection?
The Civil War
101906 San Francisco earthquake
1900 Galveston hurricane
Oklahoma dust bowl
…
For years, during every election cycle I would devote a full day to removing the flyers put out by Barton and his Wall Builders group from every location I could find them. At the end of the day, I was sure I had done a good deed that day.
11I wonder if he and Joe share common kin? Even the Texas Baptist Committee thinks he’s less than truthful. And THAT’s saying something.
12Killing? Is he talking about Iraq?
13Texas has been killing people for years
14The US has killed plenty of people in wars, in addition to all the US military deaths. Countries all over the world have killed innocent people…why is abortion any different? I betcha he’s all for letting children starve as long as it’s after they’re born. It used to be all the crazy people were in California, but they seem sane in my book compared to the nutjobs here.
Elise-plant was called silphium or laserwort,according to Wiki. Native to Libya and was overharvested for a number of uses in Roman times.
15Nutters totally miss the abortion boat. If they thought about it,they could prevent millions of Liberal voters ever being born and wouldn’t have to risk violating the Constitution by trying to block legal voter’s votes. Maybe only wealthy Whites should be banned from having the procedures.
16Chris Rodda has made a career publishing books debunking David Barton. I think she is up to 5 or 6 books disproving his lies.
17Spanish inquisition. Crusades. Nazi death camps. Stalin. Mao. Slavery. And it’s abortion that’s bringing about God’s judgment? Rather he’s afraid that women are rising up to take charge of their own destinies, and god knows we can’t have that.
18You know, he does have a strong resemblance to Don Knotts.
19Barton’s fairly well known in some circles well outside Texas. I first ran across him in the mid-’90s. He’s such a liar his own publisher recalled his last book.
20And Barton was interviewed by Kenny Copeland. Remember him? The guy who singlehandedly brought measles back to Texas. They’re the T’Bagger version of The Scientist (we don’t need no steekin’ vaccines) and The Historian (author of ‘The Jefferson Lies’ voted “the least credible history book in print” by the users of the History News Network website.) The whack-a-doodle echo chamber is getting a mite crowded.
21If he really wants to prevent millions of abortions, he should promote good sex education in schools and low-cost reliable birth control that’s easy to get and can be explained if you need that.
Oh my look, he’s having a fit of the vapors….
I suppose we should be grateful that at least they’re acknowledging that climate change is happening at all.
22If abortion is the litmus test then God must really love the nations that operate under Sharia law.
23Ummm… I thought we blessed executions long before we held our nose & gave the nod to legal abortions.
It don’t count as killin’ if the wing-nuts are willin’!!!
24LynnN, God must have loved Hitler too– he was very anti-abortion.
25As encouraging as it is that Tea Party candidates lost out in the 11/5/13 elections, I don’t for one minute think Texans in general are sophisticated enough to see through Barton. He is glib, he loves Jesus, he hates abortion, and he can sound pseudo-historical enough to convince the high school grads that Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin were evangelical Christians jes lack we-uns are.
Senator Barton, R-Texas. Oh, the horror.
26Another shyster preacher. Just what the world needs.
27David Barton announced on the Beck program that he is not running http://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/david-barton-john-cornyn-99459.html?ml=la
28Per the article Kyle posted, the short version is that Barton prayed on it and the money wouldn’t be enough to put him over the top. Huh? Grateful, whatever the reason.
29EPO-Thanks! I kept trying to think of it but my mind was stuck on C as the first letter–my one thumb for typing and heavily drugged brain makes it tricky to post–but the thoughts are there even if the skill level isn’t!
30Rhea–one of my favorite songs that Dr. Demento used to play late at night was, “Hitler Was A Vegetarian, Too…”, now the song is stuck in my head– lol!
