Meet Peg Littleton
Peg Littleton is running for United States senator from Colorado.
She’s a real pretty little thing but I think she’s overdosed on Jesus.
Peg does not believe that Fracking causes earthquakes. You wanna know why?
There have been earthquakes long before we ever did fracking. Let’s be honest. You know God is kind of in control of those. And not by us drilling down in the ground and doing the fracking.
And only God can cause forest fires. No, wait.
So you have to wonder, why does God cause earthquakes? He is punishing bad people who live in earthquake zones? Does he do it for fun? If God’s in charge, why do we even have earthquakes? Is God just mean? Damn, Peg, I’m getting a headache.
Ya gotta admire Peg’s grasp of geology and the scientific principle. It’s a solid 4 on the Sarah Palin Scale.
Only on a scale memorializing Sarah Palin could you generate a positive number from exponentially negative numbers!
1Why have doctors and hospitals? Why do pharmaceutical research? Why be afraid of Ebola? God will take care of that. Why build damns and levees to control flooding and provide water for large concentrated populations? God will take care of that. Why have sewage treatment plants? God will take care of that. Etc., etc., etc.
I do utterly despise these people who use God as their personal magician and play toy and to hell with the rest of the world.
Oh and Peg, sweetie, it clearly states in Genesis that the God you claim to worship told us to take care of creation. I don’t see how you can classify fracking as “taking care.”
2So when fracking causes an earthquake and does damage to her house and neighborhood, she won’t being getting reimbursed by her insurance to fix it up because it was an act of god, right?
3The science deniers are mentally deficient.
4She’s from Colo. Springs…… Home of American Christo-Fascists and Brian Fischer.
No suprise here..
5After reading through her ‘Issues” tab on her website, one wonders why she does not mention the fine institutions of learning in her state (in addition to all the military bases). But she is pretty adamant on not allowing GITMO to relocate to the SuperMAX in CO. She advocates building a wall to control immigration but she fails to mention which border (perhaps, she meant the borders along the UT, NE, WY, and OK borders…).
And so on….
Reads like a model Koch candidate website.
6An example of lazy butt thinking. Its also her way to telling you to go the hell away.
Whatever!
Definitely not a winner.
7The Christo-Faschists set up shop in Colorado Springs because the US Air Force Academy is there. They planned/are still planning to infiltrate and take over the US government, starting with the armed forces.
They are a tiresome bunch.
8Peggy Littleton is currently and has been since 2011 one of the county commissioners of El Paso County Colorado – my district. It includes Black Forest Colorado where I live. After the Black Forest fire in 2013 where 458 homes were lost at the first council meeting with Black Forest residence who wanted to know when we could get back into our homes and what sort of help we would receive Peggy proceeded to get up on stage and explain to us how to prepare an emergency exit bag and what it should include. I guess she didn’t realize that most of us had exited just fine and were wanting to know how to enter. She was pretty much booed off the stage.
9This is her Facebook avi, look familiar?

10Oh, yeah, she’s a keeper!
11@Dave
Love the fringe. Where’s her chopper?
12Uh oh. She said God was “kind of” in control of earthquakes. Sounds to me like she’s let a little doubt creep in. Stone the blasphemer!
13@Micr
Our own JC (the other one).

14If God is in control can’t he decide to make earthquakes happen as a result of fracking? I mean, people like Littleton already believe that God makes hurricanes happen as a result of sin in New Orleans.
If a little hanky-panky can change the climate, then surely a lot of fracking can change geology.
15God and Koch told me so. There. Fixed it.
16Yes LynnN, I believe you have correctly explained the connection between God & earthquakes.
Fracking does not cause or create earthquakes. God sends the earthquakes to punish the frackers.
17From God,
A WORD ABOUT EARTHQUAKES:
I have not, do not, and will not cause earthquakes. I did create the heavens and the earth and it happens to be a property of earth now and then to quake. And that’s all there is to it.
However, when you frack you do increase the propensity of the earth to quake.
18Air Force Academy seems to be the Military’s unofficial seminary, where one learns that bombers are actually borne up on angels’ wings.
19Well, you might mention to her that if God does cause earthquakes, it might be because He has rules for how to take care of the earth and if we don’t go by the rules, we suffer the consequences. You gotta have a response that someone like her can wrap her mind around.
20“There were earthquakes before fracking.”
Here we go. I know exactly what she thinks about climate change.
“People got cancer before there were cigarettes, therefore smoking can’t cause cancer.” Right?
Is there some GOP requirement that to run for party office or write a column, you have to promise that you never, ever took a course in logic in your entire little life? Because it always sounds that way.
21Epicurus’ Trilemma
22If God is unable to prevent evil, then he is not all-powerful.
If God is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not all-good.
If God is both willing and able to prevent evil, then why does evil exist?
I’d say say she was not in the right line when God was giving out brains.
23So earthquakes fall out of the sky and land on earth and make noise.
24Between her looks and that damn dance she did about the exit bag for emergencies and she got booed off stage, ten to one she was thinking “But I’ a cheerleader!!!!”
25Due to God’s total and complete control of every damn thing, I assume that she and all members of her family never seek medical care. They just pray about it. Nor does she have heat or AC in her home because God will keep her comfortable.
Yeah, I thought so.
26Though I’m not super thrilled with the Democratic Senator (Bennet) she is trying to displace, the Rethug party of CO has put together a clown car of potential candidates that is not unlike how their presidential nom clown car started off: too many and lots of oddly assorted nuts.
27Mixed nuts. Hmm. Kind of like family, huh? I have a T shirt that says “Most families are like fruitcake: mostly sweet with a few nuts.”
28Tom Matthews, I wish there were an upvote button!
