A Stalin like theocracy? They want to impeach a Reagan Appointee


A Stalinist Theocracy, Advocating Murder-and Hell Draws Closer
No, a Stalinist theocracy is not a contradiction. Too many people still make the mistake of thinking that atheism was central to communism. But of course, it wasn't: collectivism was the essence of communism (and of socialism, and of fascism too)—the idea that the individual is of no consequence, and that the "public good" and the "national welfare" trump everything else. More broadly: a belief in God is only one form of irrationalism—and there are many others, including collectivism itself (in any of its many forms).

So you can be a full-blown collectivist and believe in God, as many tyrants from history have demonstrated. And in the wake of the Schiavo affair, we now see one version of this thoroughly repellent and vicious combination—and we also see explicitly what certain elements of the GOP are after:


Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is a fairly accomplished jurist, but he might want to get himself a good lawyer—and perhaps a few more bodyguards.

Conservative leaders meeting in Washington yesterday for a discussion of "Remedies to Judicial Tyranny" decided that Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan appointee, should be impeached, or worse. .....

1. Wasn't Kennedy one of the "Felonious Five"?
I guess they're done with him now. Chew 'em up and spit 'em out!

2. Stalin-quoting crackpots seize control of GOP asylum
Crazies Run Republican Insane Asylum - Quote Stalin, 'No man, no problem' Referring to Judges
by August Keso

The Crazies are officially running the Republican Party Insane Asylum. At a meeting put together by something calling itself, the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration or what I call The Base, which in Arabic is al Qaeda, the Republiqaedan Party's mainstream members met to stoke the fires of hate toward the United States judicial system.

In case you are wondering, no judge is beyond the American Taliban's hateful and dangerous ire. Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, appointed by the Conservative icon Reagan, drew most of their venom. The "Christian" supposed pro-life-coalition was upset that Kennedy voted against executing juveniles. According to Phyllis Schlafly Kennedy's opinion forbidding capital punishment for juveniles "is a good ground of impeachment." An idiotic comment that brought cheers from the crazies gathering for something called, "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith," Schlafly then went on to say Kennedy had not met the "good behavior" requirement for office and that "Congress ought to talk about impeachment."

The Republican Jihadists have a strange notion that "faith" is being persecuted in the United States. Never mind that there is a man they equate to Jesus, "W" Bush, running the country. Born again fanatics Bill Frist and Tom DeLay ruling over both houses of Congress and more "faith based" television and radio shows than there are reality TV programs. In the mind of the zealots...the American Taliban...the Jihadis for Jesus..."faith" is being persecuted.

The gathering of spit drooling, religious fanatics pretend to focus their anger on America's judges but the reality is they just don't like the Constitution, because it doesn't allow for the formation of an American Taliban. "The Constitution isn't," Phyllis Schlafly insisted, "what the Supreme Court says it is."

3. "The Constitution isn't what the Supreme Court says it is"
So ... what is it then? A bird cage liner? Toilet Paper? Yesterday's news?

These people wrap themselves up in "God and Country" and they don't stand for either.

5. The Rapture nut jobs.....
...hate America, the ideal, and Americans, the real. They are praying for the incineration of the Earth so they, and they alone, can stand side-by-side with their bestest buddy, Jesus.

I reiterate, they are a sick and twisted lot.
