The McCain campaign now employs Max Boot as a key advisor and campaign surrogate. He put the con in neocon. Max Boot has been irreversibly blinded by a mutated nationalism reminiscent of the Hitler Youth. God help us all if this gung-ho psychasthenic rabble rouser should be granted any role of actual power in a sitting administration.
Here's one of Max Boot's numerous literary tumors:
[...] Once we have deposed Saddam, we can impose an American-led, international regency in Baghdad, to go along with the one in Kabul. With American seriousness and credibility thus restored, we will enjoy fruitful cooperation from the region's many opportunists, who will show a newfound eagerness to be helpful in our larger task of rolling up the international terror network that threatens us.
Frakking. Delusional. Egomaniac. Man-child.
He and John McCain must get along famously.
Other stuffz after the flip.
I am sure most of you know about this next bit by now, but I'm from Louisiana so I had to make some noise about it. This is:
Enforced Human Evolution, Louisiana Nazi Style
Louisiana (R) State Representative John LaBruzzo expressed worries that poor people receiving food and housing assistance are having too many babies. He thinks a good solution would be to sterilize poor women, and he would be willing to use taxpayer money to pay them $1000 each to have tubal ligation. He made the generalization that women on some form of welfare reproduce faster than residents with money and a good education. To avoid being called sexist he also proposed the possibility of vasectomies for poor men, and other forms of birth control. Yeah, because the first thing that worries me about this lunatic is that he may be sexist. Sieg heil, Herr Commandant LaBruzzo.
His plan gets more complicated than just sterilizing poor people, however. LaBruzzo likes the idea of giving wealthy, educated Louisiana residents tax incentives to have more children. Let me just get this straight, poor babies bad, rich babies good. Sterilize poor women, give rich women money. That's as similar a plan to Nazi eugenics as I've heard in quite some time. Hitler looks up at LaBruzzo from hell and is filled with a deep sense of pride.
Tony LaBruzzo apparently didn't notice the massive destruction caused by the last three hurricanes to hit Louisiana, and the poverty they left behind. Highly educated, formerly affluent members of the community in New Orleans, and in many other locations near the coast, have depended on the government to survive since Katrina and Rita, and now Gustav and Ike. I suppose LaBruzzo would get to decide which currently poor people deserve sterilization, and a $1000 check for the honor, and which people get a tax break to have more babies. Who am I kidding? I'm actually trying to understand this lowlife SOB?
I was just saying yesterday that Alaska had replaced Louisiana as the most bizarre state in the union. That claim just got tossed out the window. With legislators like LaBruzzo, Louisiana will never be topped as the state containing the highest number of weirdly arrogant, racist and bigoted pricks.
Think Progress presented a short passage from the NOLA article:
He said he is gathering statistics now. ... "What I’m really studying is any and all possibilities that we can reduce the number of people that are going from generational welfare to generational welfare," he said.
He said his program would be voluntary. It could involve tubal ligation, encouraging other forms of birth control or, to avoid charges of gender discrimination, vasectomies for men. It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.
John LaBruzzo is so freaking cool.
LaBruzzo admitted some people would likely "get excited over [his plan]." If he meant many Louisiana residents would be deeply ashamed to admit we're from that state after his plan came to light, then he's right. If LaBruzzo meant that we'd want to take him into the Gulf of Mexico and dump him in the Gulfstream currents with nothing but a toilet seat to cling to, then he's right again. Louisiana: Still sucking at all the good things and excelling at all the bad things. I'm going to place John LaBruzzo squarely in the "bad things" column. I think I'll call the category "Nazi Republican Turds."

Batsh*t Crazy Homophobic Pastor Guy
These are excerpts from an email sent out by Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. "The gays" apparently have driven him insane.
I want you to hear something a California pastor said to me recently:
"If we lose, we go to jail."
It's just that simple, says Pastor Jim Garlow-if marriage loses in California, religious liberties everywhere will be next.
Blah blah blah...
The stakes are enormous. We face a national menace to religious liberty:
- In Boston, a Christian adoption agency was shut down for refusing to place orphans with homosexual couples.
- In New Mexico, a Christian-owned studio was fined more than $6,000 for refusing to photograph a lesbian commitment ceremony.
- In San Francisco, the city council officially condemned Christian opposition to homosexual adoption as hateful and discriminatory rhetoric.
By God's grace and with your help, we can win this fight.
FRC has been protecting marriage...
Because heterosexual marriages have had such a hard time dealing with all the happy gay people.
"Honey, our marriage is crappy."
"I know. It's all the damned homosexuals cramping my style."
Suuure it is.
Your prayers and generosity are enabling FRC to use our national platform to make the forceful case for traditional marriage in the media, in the churches, and at the grassroots.
Send money. No, really, send money. Send money I say! (and then blah blah blah)
[...] But we can't take our eye off Washington, D.C. politicians. Your support is vital as we stand up to liberals who want to criminalize your religious speech . . . threaten the religious liberties of employers . . . silence conservative and Christian broadcasting . . . raise taxes . . . and impose taxpayer funding of abortion and embryonic stem cell research.
Thank you for sacrificially giving whatever you can at this critical moment for faith, family, and freedom in America.<div>
P.S. Please send money.
Let me tell you, the reader, what scares the hell out of me.
People like Tony Perkins scare me to death.
Two girls kissing... two guys kissing... that's just the natural human sex drive.
This appeal to religious hysteria is far more insidious.
I suppose I should be flattered that these people have gone hysteric over liberals.
I've always thought of "the Left" as a bunch of people grooving to music and having fun around a campfire.
Tony Perkins sees demons and devils and djinnis, oh my.
You know what? I'd bet just about anything Tony Perkins is a closet homosexual.
Oh, and one more thing, Tony Perkins sez:
<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;">Send Us All Your Money</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">or burn in hell</span>.
