When they say they want to take our country back...THIS is what they mean

If most reasonable folks ran across a political candidate like Sharron Angle, they’d laugh her out of the room. Then again, this is Nevada we’re talking about, where reasonable just left on the last train to Clarksville. How else do you explain a brain-dead phenomenon like Angle, a John Birch Society devotee who, among other things, believes:

• In phasing out Social Security
• That Big Oil should be deregulated
• That the federal government should define marriage as being between a man and a woman
• That fluoridation of drinking water is a Communist plot designed to undermine Western democracy
• That the federal government wants to turn American cities into “giant concentration camps”
• That uniformed soldiers and police have the right- nay, duty- to refuse orders they view as “unconstitutional”
• That doctors should be required to inform women seeking abortions of the (mythical) link between abortion and breast cancer
• In abolishing IRS
• In abolishing EPA
• In abolishing the Department Of Education
• That the US should withrdraw from the UN
• That global climate change is a myth propagated by the UN
• In advocating the prohibition of alcohol
• In advocating Scientology-style saunas and massages for Nevada prisoners
• In enforcing the idea the only one parent works outside the home

Harry Reid may be an ineffectual, spineless weenie incapable of exploiting the Democratic majority in the Senate, but he and his supporters must be feeling as if Christmas has come early. It’s just a matter of time before Sharron Angle’s campaign implodes under the weight of her own Palin-like nuttiness. To quote Keith Olbermann (while referring to Caribou Barbie), “That woman’s an idiot.” Good Lord, y’all; Angle makes Rand Paul and Michelle Bachmann look like Ph.D. candidates. How frightening is that?

What do you get when you’re so aggressively, mind-numbingly stupid that you think you’re intelligent? Well, you get Sharron Angle, who, if left to her own devices, would drag this country back to the ’50s…the 1850s. And here you’d been thinking that the John Birch Society was dead and gone….

Talk about a candidate wading in the shallow end of the gene pool….
