Really. What’s the point? What benefit is there to meekly seeking compromise with people who are simply crazy, mean, nasty liars, like this guy:
Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) believes that President Obama is bent on turning the United States into a totalitarian state and already has all the tools he needs for the purpose.
“He has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian government,” Broun told a meeting of local Georgia Republicans on Wednesday, citing the creation of a private army, a ban on gun ownership, and complete control of the press. […]
Broun, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 2007 by less than 400 votes, has recently taken other high-profile positions. In May, he raised a firestorm by proposing that 2010 be declared “The Year of the Bible.” In June, he voted against climate change legislation, calling global warming a “hoax … perpetrated out of the scientific community.”
At this week’s meeting, Brown described health care reform as yet another attempt to control peoples lives and suggests that health care costs could be brought down by repealing consumer protections and enacting tax credits for doctors to take on charity cases.
Hey Congressman, we already have a private army and it was formed by a wealthy wingnut religious murdering freak (allegedly) which was hired by our former Republican overlords to help fight our unnecessary wars in the Middle east. The same Republican overlords who made “torture” America’s middle name, and who authorized the NSA, FBI, CIA, Pentagon, DEA and any other government law enforcement and/or “intelligence” agency and/or to violate the Constitution by spying on all our financial, health and library records, not to mention downloading all our email, internet and phone communications to some mondo-mega-terrabyte data base stashed away in Dick Cheney’s private hidey hole. And you have the nerve to claim Obama is planning a totalitarian takeover of the country?
So, please, Mr. President, why are you still seeking bi-partisan support for your policies from these racist smear merchants? I’d like you to explain the logic in that. Because from where I sit, it is the stupidest, most inane thing you have done since taking office: to try to accommodate these people who quite simply want you dead, politically or otherwise. It’s like Batman negotiating with the Joker in The Dark Knight — we have nothing they want, and there is nothing we can offer them to make them stop spreading their twisted lies meant to elicit hyperbolic fear and dread about your administration among their supporters. So why are you still bothering to come to terms with the insane sociopaths who now lead the disloyal opposition? It makes no sense.
Far better to go it alone.
