Every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, every week they push the envelope on just how crazy InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Joni Ernst wants to go to Washington and be a senator packing heat, in case she’s attacked by the government.
It’s one thing to run on a shrink-the-government platform. Wingnut Joni Ernst of Iowa is running for Senate on a “I’m scared of the government; that’s why I need to carry my gun with me everywhere to protect me from the government that I want to join,” platform.
OK, it’s a little long and unwieldy, but she’s working on it.
Video surfaced this week of this Koch-funded Iowa extremist speaking lovingly of her gun at an NRA event two years ago. Somehow, it seems relevant now. In it, Ernst says:
“I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere…I believe in the right to defend myself and my family — whether it’s from an intruder, or whether it’s from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.”
This beacon of level-headed leadership won the GOP primary with the help of an ad showing her glee at castrating hogs.
“Washington’s full of big spenders,” she said to the camera before slicing into the poor animal’s testicles, “let’s make ‘em squeal.” Kind of like the guy in Deliverance."
Ernst has also gone on the record for promising to jail federal bureaucrats who try to implement Obamacare in her state. She is really a Koch kind of gal.
Now that we know that this loon’s got a gun and she knows how to use it—and she’s ahead in the polls—we can all sleep better at night.
Except the pigs.

The Crazies on Parade ~
1. Kirk Cameron – My, my! I'm glad he clarified the history of Halloween for everyone. I never knew it had anything to do with Jesus. Or are we only talking about Supply-side Jesus? We must be because the sugar industry and the cheap costume industry make billions because of Halloween.
2. If you should be "informed" before serving on a jury or voting then Kimberly Guilfoyle should absent herself from doing both.
3. Blake Farenthold better watch out. I hear Zombis go for the dumbest people first so he is at high risk, I say this because the reallyu stupid ones are first to die in the movies.
4. The Kochs and the NRA must truly love Joni Ernst. Watch out D.C., she wants to be the new sheriff in town!
5. Did I miss the torture and the killings perpetrated by "the gays" during their "Inquisition"?
All the research comparing people based on what news they watch say that those watching Fox are the least informed so their viewers shouldn't vote even moreso than young women based on her logic.
Joni is reported to get away with it because her opponent is running an ethical and honorable campaign without mudslinging (otherwise she might be joining her pigs). The SD senate candidate ordered party groups slinging mud at his opponent to stop it in his state I read yesterday–hope both taking the higher moral ground succeed with the voters.
Sorry TC, the pain in my joints is making me feel sick, I just can't take looking at that load of insanity as well, they are enough to try the patience of a saint – Ernst is more than enough to make me feel worse just now!
As usual, the wing-nuts are at it again… lol. A never-ending list!
1. Kirk Cameron: Small wonder why Kirk has not been back to Hollywood with his rant of Obama Halloween masks are actually celebrating Jesus’ triumph over Satan and assertion of Christian ownership of Halloween. Rewriting History?
2. Faux Newser Kimberly Guilfoyle: Young women should not vote or serve on juries. That means you too, Kimberly. lol.
3. Blake Farenthold seems not able to separate fact from fiction. Wonder what else ha has had to say. Zombies would most likely stiff amble sahy away from Blake as he would not be worth the effort to zuckerberg his brains out.
4. Joni Ernst: The only thing Joni should fear is another GOP/TP Congresscritter carrying a gun. Maybe they will have a “accidental” stand your ground shoot-out. lol.
5. “Pat Robertson”: ‘nough said. lol.
1. If Hallowe'en is really a Christian holiday, how come there are so many (equally nutty) pseudo-Christians who refuse to allow their children to have any fun with it because of its pagan origins, which make it evil? Can't you guys get your story straight? Maybe Kirk is just addicted to sugar.
2. Another example of the Republican strategy – to win over groups of voters not in their base by systematically insulting them. God willing it too will backfire.
3. In his district that probably passes for profound widsom.
4. How is this not sedition?
5. "I don't push my heterosexuality down other people's throats," said the man wearing a wedding ring, sitting at a desk covered with pictures of his (female) wife and his golden-haired children. Yes, that happened many years ago, but Pat is still stuck in that time warp.
Wow, Joni outdid herself to win the award over the other four wingnuts. I didn't know about Kirk Cameron, but I can see why he isn't seen much in any tv or movies. I bet he doesn't know the date for Christmas was based on a pagan holiday,either. As for Guilfoyle, if she were very bright, she wouldn't be an anchor on faux news, Farenthold is in a world of his own, not in touch with reality. Pat Robertson needs to retire, but, I guess he would miss the money he makes trying to keep his flock biased against gays.
I try not to feed the trolls, but sometimes it is hard to do.
Thanks all. Good prison group. Pooped!
1) Kirk Cameron — Yet another right wing evangelical pseudo Christian and Republicanus/Teabagger trying to re-write history in his own image. Anyonw with half a brain knows that Halloe'en is a pagan rite. November 01 is All Saints Day, a celebration by authentic Christians.
2) Kimberly Guilfoyle — So young men hyped up on testosterone are qualified but young women of the same age are not? Guilfoyle is 12 beers short of a 6 pack! . . . and a disgrace to all women.
3) GOP Representative Blake Farenthold — When I read the first line, I thought this sounds like Goh-merde. "Texas wingnut congressman sees parallel between Ebola crisis and zombie movies." Imagine my surprise when it wasn't.
4) Joni Ernst — Joni Ernst, thy name is paranoid idiot . . . a real Koch . . . nevermind! Maybe some should neuter her!
5) Pat Robertson — The only terrorist I see is Pat Robertson.
