Buddhists in Congress? Who knew? (via Easter Lemming Liberal News)
TUSCALOOSA | In all the brouhaha stirred up by Virginia Republican U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode over the first Muslim ever elected to Congress using a Koran in his private swearing-in ceremony next month (the official swearing-ins are done sans holy books of any kind), little attention has been paid to the fact that on Nov. 7 the first two Buddhists to ever serve in Congress were also elected. Not only that, one of them is a southerner, Rep. Hank Johnson, a Democrat from our neighboring state of Georgia, who took out the inflammatory and confrontational former Rep. Cynthia McKinney in last year’s primary and coasted to victory in the general election in his heavily black, Democratic district in and around Atlanta. The other Buddhist elected in November was Rep. Mazie Hirono, a Democrat from Hawaii, a state which probably has more Buddhists than any other.
Man, I had NO idea that the stealth campaign to convert this country to radical Buddhism had already begun. Now that it has, I can confess to being a member of a sleeper cell here on the Texas Gulf Coast. For years now, I’ve been biding my time, awaiting my orders from the Dalai Lama or whoever it is that’s supposedly in charge of this whole enterprise. Of course, like most Buddhists, I tend to be somewhat laissez faire…so the idea of anything resembling an organized insurgency is something of a misnomer. Truth be told, I have NO idea who’s going to give the orders….
Maybe after [former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener Rep. Virgil] Goode finishes making a idiot of himself over Ellison and the Koran, maybe he can turn his attention to these two nefarious Buddhists. Wonder what they will place their hands on in their own private ceremonies?
Oh, that’s right, they are Buddhists. So the answer would be “nothing.”
Yep…I’d settle for the sound of one hand clapping….
