U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann says she fears the Obama administration will create “re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.”You will have to wait a very long time for a quote conservative unquote to stand up and say the obvious: Bachmann needs to have her meds adjusted. She can out-crazy the entire population of a psychiatric hospital.
(H/T)
Bachmann is just flat-out insane (and so are a majority of the voters of Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District). Besides that, she ought to be forced to attend the funerals of the three cops killed in Pittsburgh, for it is tinfoil-hat conspiracy types like Bachmann who are speaking directly to the Pittsburgh Loserman who shot those cops. And it wasn't just shooting cops in a gunfight, one of the cops was lying on the ground, dying and Loserman pumped more rounds into him.
As much as people on my side of the spectrum feared (and with good cause, I might add) that Bush was dragging this nation down the road to fascism, you'll have to search far and wide to find one person who conspired to either assassinate Bush or who went out and started shooting people. Yet the police and the Secret Service were breaking up plots to kill Obama before the election, we've had more than one shooting targeting liberals and now the Pittsburgh cop killer was spouting Bachmann-brand conspiracy drivel. But you'll still find Wingnuts like Bachmann and all of the Hindenbergs on Faux News spouting their conspiracy and racially-tinged bilge and you'll find armed imbeciles buying it. I fear that life in this country is going to get a lot bloodier.
Let's call their motivation for what it truly is:
It is racism. The Wingnuts are going batshit because there is a Black president. They cannot come to grips with that fact and they are seriously unhinged over it.
Going going gone-homerun.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a concern. I don't know whether it's racism that drives these folks, or just the fear of libruls that's been instilled in these folks for the last couple of decades. I'm guessing it's some of each.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans already have their own re-education camps. My town's full of them. Normal people go in, and they come out believing the Earth is only 6000 years old, people who are different should be persecuted, abortion is wrong yet contraception is unthinkable, that it's possible to bomb other countries into peace, and that the right to bear arms gives them the right to kill in its cause.
ReplyDeleteThese camps commonly go by another name.
Churches.
