and they scared the hell out of me. They were on for about 2 hours yesterday, and they are so far right, I wonder if C-Span puts them on so they can discredit themselves.
Sen. Tom Coburn, new senator from Oklahoma who said that doctors who perform abortions should get the death penalty, sent his Chief Aide. His aide, furiously, said that we should impeach and remove every judge who was involved in the Schiavo case. I guess that includes the Supreme Court, because the next wingnut host said that we should start with the Supreme Court. He said they can be impeached even if they did not have the 2/3 to remove because it will teach those judges a lesson. Not, he hastened to add, that they are trying to intimidate. It is just that after they get through "reeducating" the American public, and impeaching the judges, the judges will come to agree with them, because their cause is moral and the only correct one.
A questioner noted that until "we start electing religious people for political positions, we are not going to get the legislation and judges we want." The panelist agreed. Wow! Now my priest can run for Congress and outlaw abortion, gay marriage, and birth control. We can all have many, many babies but not provide funding for those who cannot afford them. Workhouses, anyone??
I have to say, I was very fricking scared when watching these wackos. The wacky girls with the tape on their mouths from the Schiavo case were there, and got a big ovation. And the Catholic woman wearing the blood red lipstick, representing the Bishops, was really pissing this Catholic off. She said they will have postcards in every church, ready to mail to Congress, demanding that our representatives only vote for PRO-LIFE judges (I guess if they love war and the death penalty, that is Okey-dokey!) I say, steal every fricking postcard out of your churches. Call to action!!! Go Catholics!!!
Or at least report the Catholic church to the IRS for politicizing so they lose their tax-exempt (gasp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) status. We need to take these people more seiously, I think. They are determined, they are well-organized and they are getting more mainstream media attention than hundreds of thousands of protestors of the Iraq war. What does that say to you?
