More great moments in Conservative "leadership"

It never ceases to amaze me; the people who demonstrate themselves least intellectually and morally agile are also the ones who believe themselves to be the only rightful owners of political power. They don’t know what to do with it once they have it, but they’re convinced that political power is their birthright…and let’s face it; the results are pretty hilarious.

Talk about government of, by, and for the lowest common denominator, eh?

It astonishes me that people actually, truly think as some of the folks I’ve featured here today. I’m not certain how many of them actually believe the nonsense they’re spouting…or whether they believe it’s their path to power. Whatever the reason, some of the craziness and hypocrisy is truly epic, something that would seem to be difficult to pull off unless one was truly sincere in the beliefs they espoused.

What follows is an argument for powerful psychotropic medication. These loons actually believe that they by rights should be the ones in charge of the asylum.

Former Brooklyn Tea Party head and anti-obscenity candidate arrested for child porn possession: It would seem that “protecting children” means vastly different things to different people.

NRA unhappy with Obama over new rules to keep guns out of hands of mentally ill, domestic abusers: Putting guns in the hands of paranoid delusionals and misogynists with a burning hatred of women? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?? As any good, God-fearing, red-blooded, Conservative Christian patriot will tell you, MOR GUNZ!!! can only make everyone safer…except when they don’t.

Why Conservatives Are More Likely to Buy Into Mind-Blowingly Silly News Stories: Uh…because it’s SO much easier to react emotionally and vent their considerable rage than to soberly reflect on an issue and make an informed decision?

Scott Walker: Women should be forced to have ultrasounds because they’re ‘a cool thing’: Playing “Doctor” can be fun…and if you do it right, the ladies will enjoy it, too!

Fox psychoanalyzes Joe Biden after son’s death with psychiatrist who accused VP of being a drunk: Classless? Check. Insensitive? Check. Completely devoid of any discernible trace of simple human decency? Check. Good Lord, but these idjits are miserable excuses for human beings, aren’t they?

Palin Unleashes Unhinged Rant: It’s The GOP That’s Fighting For ‘Civil Rights For All Americans’: Sometimes words fail me. This is one of those times.

Dennis Hastert’s Indictment Offers Clues into Why He Protected Republican Mark Foley in Sexual Misconduct Scandal: Perhaps because it hit a little too close to home?

Jeb Bush: I learned about ‘protecting the homeland’ from the way George W. Bush ‘kept us safe’: So, lying your way into an illegal and immoral war that killed almost 5,000 young Americans and upward of 100,000 Iraqis was a learning experience? Laying the groundwork for the rise of ISIS/ISIL is something to be proud of? I’m thinking Jeb Bush could potentially be even more dangerously dishonest and ignorantly monomaniacal than his brother. Dubya at least possessed enough self-knowledge to understand his intellectual limitations; Jeb seems to think he’s an intellectual and moral bright light.

A year after armed standoff, Cliven Bundy still star of his own Tea Party-tinged western: “Angry White Man” good. Very good, proud American patriot. “Angry Black Man” bad. Very, very bad thug.

Robert Reich on the Real Texas Disaster: Clueless Pols Who Hate the Feds Until They Don’t: It’s easy to sow hatred and distrust over what you don’t need…until you desperately need it.

Colorado Republican calls gay people ‘snakes’ — wants a new St. Patrick to drive them out of Ireland: Gordon Klingenschmitt won’t be happy until every homosexual is rounded up, a boulder tied around their ankles, and they’re pushed overboard into deep water. After depositing a bullet in their back of their head.

Segregationists Never Went Away: We Just Call Them “Small-Government Conservatives” Now: Racism never goes out of styles; racists just re-market themselves every now and then to make it look as if they’re legitimate and relevant.

Conservatives Go Berserk After Bill Nye Links Texas Floods to Climate Change: Science means NOTHING!! Fox News Channel told me so!!

GOP Presidential Candidates Go to Israel and Return With Fairy Tales: It’s a legitimate question begging to be asked- Who are Republicans loyal to? Israel and its far-Right supporters…or to the American people? The answer should be self-evident, but the fact that I’m wondering means it’s really not.

Bill O’Reilly blames ‘simpletons’ as new poll shows liberals pulling even with conservatives: Before you go blithely tossing around pejoratives like “simpleton,” you might want check to be certain you understand who your target demographic (cough…angry, White, low-information voters…cough) is. Just a thought…and it’s not as if Bill-o the Clown is in danger of breaking new intellectual ground.

Looking at Dennis Hastert’s Secret Gay ‘Misconduct’ in Light of His Terrible Voting Record on Gay Rights: The worst sort of hypocrisy, because his intransigence and showy homophobia materially damaged many who sought nothing more than equal rights. The self-loathing is strong in this one…as well it should be.
