Feeling the Red State Blues [View All]

[Vexatious Ape]

As a clear thinking, well informed, resident of the state of Georgia capable of reading the local paper without moving my lips, I came to the conclusion a few years back that I have absolutely Zero representation in the US Senate. Now that I have recently moved, (only two exists south), I find myself in a new congressional district with a new congressman. Oh happy days. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a freshman republican with—according to his website—a penchant for the ten commandments, among other things. I went from having a centrist Democrat, David Scott, who I could count on at least half the time, to a full-blown booger-eating Talibangelical thug.
I took a peek at some of the House Resolutions he co-sponsored. : Support for prayer at school board meetings. He wants the ten commandments displayed in the hall of the House of Representatives and the Senate. He supported an amendment to the Constitution of the U.S protecting religious freedom. I thought that was covered in the first amendment—oh well. Of course he wants to keep the repeal of the estate tax permanent—he is a wealthy land developer. He supports the repeal of the income tax, abolishing the IRS and enacting a National retail sales tax instead. (This is a fantasy of fellow congressmen John Linder and the hectoring fascist talk radio blowhard Neal Boortz) My new congressmen also wants to make sure that all women seeking an abortion are fully informed regarding the pain experienced by their unborn child. What a guy. He also felt it necessary to honor the 50th anniversary of the National Review in H.RES.551 Suffice to say I am clearly a man with out representation at all in Washington. I think I’ll enjoy e-mailing this clown from time to time. I find that somewhat cathartic and I’m sure my last congressmen will be relieved I moved.
