The Right Wing is seriously losing its collective shit. Plans for the “big tent” that never materialized will be scrapped to make way for a much needed rubber room. Conservatives are flailing about like they’re possessed, ranting and raving about everything, seeing persecution around every corner, while Michele Bachmann runs around yelling “The Rapture is coming, the Rapture is coming” like some Evangelical Paul Revere. Here’s a look at some of the latest craziness:
Mark Levin, not the most rational guy to begin with, had this to say at the “Values” Voters Summit (my emphasis):
“The federal government is not supposed to establish a religion,” he said. “What we have now though is the federal government as a religion, secularism has become a religion. And just as in Muslim countries they have these Sharia courts to enforce Sharia law, well, we have a Supreme Court that exists to enforce apparently secularism.”
“The federal government is not supposed to establish a religion,” he said. “What we have now though is the federal government as a religion, secularism has become a religion. And just as in Muslim countries they have these Sharia courts to enforce Sharia law, well, we have a Supreme Court that exists to enforce apparently secularism.”You don’t say. Reminder: Secularism is
“…the belief that religion should not be part of the affairs of the state or part of public education…”
Mark Levin is Jewish, is he complaining that his life isn’t being dictated by Christianity?
Star Parker at the VVS (my emphasis):
“We have 500,000 orphans in our foster system,” she said. “Most God-fearing Christians don’t even know we have an orphan system, but those homosexuals know because now that they’re married, that’s where they’re going to get their children, right out of our foster system!”
“We have 500,000 orphans in our foster system,” she said. “Most God-fearing Christians don’t even know we have an orphan system, but those homosexuals know because now that they’re married, that’s where they’re going to get their children, right out of our foster system!”I’m sorry, “most God fearing Christians don’t know there are orphans”? Gay couples are of the devil because they might give these kids homes? Who TF are these people?
Kim Davis, the Right’s latest cause celeb, was also at the VVS. She received the “Cost of Discipleship Award” (Yes, there is such a thing) for her Very Very Christian actions of not doing her taxpayer funded, government job, and refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay people. Matt Staver of Liberty Council told attendees that God is:
“…looking for people who love Jesus Christ and who will stand for Him, who will not flinch when their time is called and that person is Kim Davis…”
“…looking for people who love Jesus Christ and who will stand for Him, who will not flinch when their time is called and that person is Kim Davis…”No mention was made of course about Davis’ Not So Christian Actions of divorce and adultery, even though Liberty Council’s Issues menu includes a page about “Protecting Marriage and Family” that states:
Society begins with marriage and the family. Marriage is the preeminent and the most fundamental of all human social institutions: A bond between one man and one woman, intended for life …
Uh huh. So you can screw around as much as you want, having children with men that are not your husband, then play the phony martyr in front of “Values Voters”, as long as it’s all in the name of bashing gays. Maybe Staver’s angling to be Davis’ 5th husband; seems nobody does the Voodoo like she do. A few more lunatic tid-bits:
Marco Rubio thinks having an abortion could become a lucrative gig:
“I just think you’ve created an industry now — a situation where very much, you’ve created an incentive for people not just to look forward to having more abortions, but being able to sell that fetal tissue…”
“I just think you’ve created an industry now — a situation where very much, you’ve created an incentive for people not just to look forward to having more abortions, but being able to sell that fetal tissue…”Whoever’s closest, slap that punk.
Continuing his display of foreign policy [I-don’t] know-how, tough guy Ted Cruz threatens to kill Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:
“If you vote for me, under no circumstances will Iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. And If the Ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to help introduce him to his 72 virgins.”
“If you vote for me, under no circumstances will Iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. And If the Ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to help introduce him to his 72 virgins.”I’m sure the Ayatollah’s beefing up security as I write this. Mike Huckabee gave his latest ironic quote to Newsmax reporter Ed Berliner:
“I’m less concerned about what faith a person has. I’m more concerned about the authenticity of their faith and how that plays out in their policies…
I’m disappointed if a person says, ‘I’m a Christian,’ but you invite the Pope into your home and then you invite a whole bunch of people who are at odds with the Catholic Church policy. I think there’s something very unseemly about that.”
“I’m less concerned about what faith a person has. I’m more concerned about the authenticity of their faith and how that plays out in their policies…Then Huckabee had to dash off to jam with his BFF- the adulterous, pants-shitting, President threatening pedophile, Ted Nugent.
If these people are the product of intelligent design, someone needs to get their ass back to the drawing board. Anyway… we got a sneak peek at one of the rubber rooms currently available to the Right’s biggest crazies (chosen by lottery) while the rest of the suites are being completed.
What, you didn’t think they’d have to share their crazy with a roommate? You know God only talks to them when they’re alone.
