When I listen to the news or read a newspaper, I find myself constantly agog at the stunning breadth and depth of stupidity, anger, and hyper-religious self-righteousness extant on the Far Right. Yet these are the people who believe that they- and they alone- are the rightful heirs to political power, that only they have the foresight and divine blessing to exercise political power.
It feels like bad kabuki sometimes: rampant ignorance, religious oppression, racism, hatred, and homophobia simultaneously vomited by those who believe that they are the Chosen Ones. The rest of us are merely misguided godless sinners wandering in the wilderness, desperately in need of the guiding hand of Jesus Christ (and His Republican Party).
The madness never seems to end.

Louie Gohmert and other Texas congressmen to endorse Ted Cruz’s 2016 bid: Because authoritarian despots tend to stick together. Remember, it’s all about small government- government small enough to force your angry, hateful, homophobic agenda on those not “enlightened” enough to believe in your vindictive, mean-spirited God.
Bill Kristol slams death penalty repeal: Executions are an ‘important symbol’ of American justice: Exactly…and unless we’re allowed to stone adulteresses, how will we have ANY hope of protecting the sanctity of fourth marriages??
