Talking Like Mr. Rogers is the LEAST of Your Problems
Is there anyone who isn’t a snake handling nutcase in the GOP?
I’m not talking about your average small government, less taxes Republican voter. I understand what those guys are on about, even if I don’t agree with them.
I’m talking about the representatives, senators and governors.
The reason I’m asking is because it turns out that Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana and erstwhile rising star in the Republican Party, wrote this article in The New Oxford Review in 1994, in which he describes how him and his bible study pals in college pinned down a woman and performed AN EXORCISM on her.
An EXORCISM. Ok? Like, a holy water throwing, bible quoting scream fest where the “demons” that apparently possessed this girl were cast out by the righteousness of the Lord via a bunch of teenaged college students.
And this guy Jindal is supposed to be the FUTURE of the Republican Party? Another guy who not only doesn’t believe in evolution but also went Ghostbusters on some chick who probably did nothing more demonic than smoking her first joint prior to stumbling into her weekly bible study session?
Nothing for nothing, but the Republicans might want to get a little multi faith council together before the next big convention. If Sarah Palin starts speaking in tongues in front of Bobby, she might get gang tackled and sprayed with holy water while she has a bible pressed up against her face.
I’m sorry if this seems disrespectful, but…no…wait…I’m really not sorry. Your leaders are all superstitious nut jobs.
My Republican friends, I have to ask, IS THIS OKAY WITH YOU? Is this what you want your party to be? Are you seriously okay with these guys running the show?
Is Sarah Palin REALLY okay with you? Is Mike Huckabee REALLY okay with you? Is Sam Brownback REALLY okay with you? Is Bobby Jindal REALLY okay with you? Isn’t there someone in your party who can articulate your platform without engaging in beliefs and practices that a Dungeons and Dragons player would laugh out of the room? Because the thing is, while I don’t agree with the fundamentals of your general small government and low taxes principles, I don’t find them CRAZY. Myself and millions of other rational Americans would be willing to give you a fair hearing, but only if you ditched the foaming at the mouth FREAKS that are somehow in charge of selling it to the rest of us.
Get rid of the folks speaking in tongues, wearing magic underwear and performing exorcisms in their dorm rooms, and then maybe we can talk.
