Well, there's Michelle Bachmann, and Virginia Foxx, and Louie Goehert, and Jim Bunning. But there is also Paul Broun. We haven't heard much from him lately, so to correct that, Georgia's 10th CD Rep did an interview on Sirius XM today to make sure his asshole credentials were up to date.
I read about this on politico.com
Forget attack HCR, or climate change, no Broun is going birther/socialist/Muslim on this one.
He found the edge, and leaped far, far overboard.
More over our edge...
From the Politico article:
Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) said Thursday that he does not know if President Barack Obama is either a citizen or a Christian.
Asked if he thought the president is an "American citizen and a Christian," Broun first responded, "I’m not going to get involved in that."
Oy.
"Is he a Christian?" Dominick then asked.
"I don’t know that," Broun responded, explaining that "I’m a Christian but only me and the Lord know that for sure."
Um, Presidents need to be Christians? I must have missed that part of the Constitution.
The Georgia congressman spent much of the rest of the interview attacking Obama as a "socialist."
"I know he is," a socialist, Broun said. "You look at his own writings. He said when he was in college he leaned to Marxist tendencies and is linked to Marxist professors. He joined Marxists clubs. And look at who he’s put in his administration, they’re devout socialists."
"America has to stand up and decide if we want to be a socialist nation or if we’re going to be a free nation," he said.
If this moron bumped into Lenin himself on a sidewalk, he wouldn't know a socialist from his own asshole.
Not being happy with just posting this here, I went to Cong. Loon's website and send him a reply. (Oh, when they ask for a in district zip code, just use one from their own office.)
My reply: (I kept it nice an polite.)
Dear Cong. Broun,
I've just read about your interview on Sirius XM radio via the Politico.com website.
To say the least I am stunned.
You may be a medical doctor, but you knowledge about simple things like where the President was born, or what socialism is, to say the least, missing in action.
Your comments are truly reprehensible and as far as I am concerned, they bring dishonor to the House of Representatives. As a political science and history teacher, I know that politicians often say things to score some political points with constituents, but to out and out slander the President of the United States only because you dislike his ideas is just pathetic. In fact, I see it as down right childish.
If you want to debate his policy ideas, great. But can we stop the stupid stuff, like not being born in the country, or not being a Christian (which begs the question...Where in the Constitution does it say the President has to be a Christian?). Finally, stop the socialist garbage. I can teach you what socialism really is, and trust me, this country is light years away from anything even remotely looking like socialism.
So Congressman, grow up and act like adult for once. Stop being a petulant little child who's angry that a Democrat is in charge.
Thank you,
//(How hard do you think it is to find a GA-10 zip code?)
