Louie! We’ve Missed You!
Hey! Louie is back!
You know the American sailors whose small boats strayed into Iran’s waters and Iran took them captive because that’s what you do if somebody’s in your waters.
And remember how they immediately said they would release the soldiers?
Well, in that three second, Louie Gohmert tried to declare nuclear war.
“When our Navy ships have problems, we don’t call Iran,” Gohmert blustered, “we call the rest of the Navy, we can call the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, the Coast Guard. We don’t call Iran!”
“For the Iranians to even issue a statement at all saying, ‘We are going to release them soon,’ tells you that they control whether or not they can leave,” he continued. “That situation should not be allowed to happen … We should demand that Iran let these people go, our Navy men or women, whatever they are, let them go or we’re going to start taking your ships out one at a time.”
I wonder what part of “we were in their waters” Louie doesn’t understand.
Louie gets up every morning determined to start an international incident. He must be a helluva neighbor.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
He’s a first class jacka$$. His attitude would have gotten those Navy people killed.
1The Navy men and women have been released. Louie should never have been released from whatever mental institution dumped him on the streets in the Raygun years.
2And once again I notice that Louie hasn’t said dipsquat about those armed militants occupying OUR territory in Oregon.
Why doesn’t he declare war on THEM?
3He doesn’t have the guts……one of those armed militants might just want to shoot ’em up.
4The R-Klan is so very anxious to start a war with anyone. They decry President Obama’s thoughtful approach to global problems because they need to WIN something. They don’t appreciate diplomacy because they don’t understand that it’s better not to have winners and losers, but thoughtful consideration of mutual benefits. We cannot allow this bunch of morons to gain control of the presidency.
5“We should demand that Iran let these people go, our Navy men or women, whatever they are,” smooth, Louie. Some of us veterans salute you, too, fool.
We have a mission for you, Louie. Pack your bags and head out to Oregon. There’s a pack of lunkheads there in need of your fine negotiating skills. Only you, Louie, have the language skills to speak squatter to squatter with them.
6PKM: Why do you hate Oregon that much? We already have enough out-of-state clowns, we don’t need any more.
7Missed him? No way.
8Dammit Miz JJ, I had almost forgot about lumpy Loonie Louie. There you go remindin’ us all again. What a waste of oxygen Louie is.
9“I wonder what part of “we were in their waters” Louie doesn’t understand.”

Oh, I’ll give him credit for understanding this perfectly.
The thing is, for republicans, no other country has sovereign rights. Only the US does.
10charles r. phillips, sorry big guy, I feel your pain. We’ve had our times with the Bundy moochers here in NV. Was only thinking Louie speaks moocher, so he might be able to coax the squatters out of Oregon.
11Screwy Louie tried to hedge his bets. He said men,women or whatever-maybe they were Gay sailors and then we wouldn’t have needed a war.
12Haven’t heard a peep out of Cantaloupe Calves King in months either. Maybe he and Louie were doing the Hula together under a stinkweed.
13crablegs is BAAACK1
14We didn’t “miss him”. He just wasn’t here.
15PKM: Are you old enough to remember The Bhagwan? If not, or if you have a vague memory on him, Google “Antelope City Bhagwan” for a more full picture. Nobody sane in this state wants any transplants with crazy ideas and guns. I’d be happy as a pig in sh!t if the Air National Guard dropped a 500 pounder on those Bundy chuckleheads. However, for the country as a whole, such an outcome would have profoundly negative consequences.
16That’ll show ’em who’s boss Louie! Demand the Iranians do what they’ve already said they would do!
17charles r. phillips, interesting read, thanks. After Charlie Manson, none of us in rural regions want cultists with guns. As for Cloven Hoof Bundy’s two spawn, if the Feebs don’t move, the Natl Guard should under the command of your Governor.
18Charles r. phillips:
19The Rajneesh group arrived in Oregon without a single gun. I believe if you read through the history of their time near Antelope, you’ll find it was almost two years of repeated death threats by the locals that prompted them to finally arm themselves.
Texas will never be able to expiate the sin of electing Louie Gohmert.
20His opinion is obviously based on his lifetime of military service….in his own mind.
21Rick: They were still crazies and they still had guns. They took over an entire county by electoral shenanigans even Karl Rove wouldn’t approve of, and almost got away with it. Hell, maybe they did get away with it, since they were there at least 2 years. Point is, no place needs more crazies trying to hijack “life as they know it.”
22I love, love, love the graphic. Mount Saint Louis, indeed.
23Louie.
24charles r. phillips:
The Wiki article is a fairly unbiased source for info about the commune (not many sources on either side of the issue are impartial). Rajneesh arrived in 1981, but the commune did not arm itself until sometime after 1983 due to death threats and assassination plots. They did win local elections the first time in Antelope due to their higher population at the ranch. The later county election was filled with shenanigans as you said, but they didn’t win that one.
According to Latkin (1992) Rajneesh’s followers had made peaceful overtures to the local community when they first arrived in Oregon.[3] As Rajneeshpuram grew in size heightened tension led certain fundamentalist Christian church leaders to denounce Rajneesh. (Just like the fundamentalist response to Muslims today)

OMG. The very thought of living just over the fence from Louie is gonna give me nightmares!
26Thank you, Nefer. Now go explain that to Louie. Take crayons and paper. You may have to draw pictures. Good luck.

What you mean “we”, White Woman?
