This rather hidden and innocuous story of local Houston politics this morning caught my eye. It realizes something I had not thought out properly. Their are not two entities pulling the GOP apart, but three. Split among local GOPs spills over into Facebook
In this case the light shines upon a Fcebook argument between Religious Right activist and talk show host Terry Lowry and Republican County Judge Ed Emmett. Emmett became very popular down here for putting politics aside in dealing with Hurricane Ike. He was the face of reason Houston looked to on television during the greatest natural disaster in our history.
Terry Lowery wants Republicans to enact litmus tests regarding how much they hate and despise abortion and homos. If they do not express enough hatred for either, then they should not be allowed to run for office in Texas as Republicans. Judge Emmett disagrees, open tent and all that.
So there we have an example of the old schism in the GOP, the social conservatives versus the moderate Republicans whose only real concern is keeping their money away from the government.
But lo and behold comes a third rail in this ugly stew of dark hearted selfish intolerance and bigotry, the Tea Baggers who don't much care about abortion, homos, or rich county club bankers. They are an aging version of the Ron Paul/Ayn Rand Looneytarian faction that were so loud on the Internet during the last election.
The Tea Party movement is all about ideology, based primarily upon their confusion over the constitution, their poorly hidden bigotry concerning States Rights Forever, and an overwhelming personal hatred of Barack Obama who happens to be a bit off color. It's all about an evil big government which has no right to tax them for the common good. The common good is socialism, pure and simple.
This menage a trio gives an even greater chance of a third party emerging before November which there could be no better news for Democrats!
The GOP needs a new slogan to tie these three groups together, and I just happen to know that that is. Something they can all agree on in full, but please... Shhhhh Don't say anything.
MORE GUNS FOR WHITE PEOPLE!

Crazy Governor Rick Perry who stood last April 15th, on the first national Tea Party sponsored by Fox News Glenn Beck talked seriously about secession. Yesterday 51% of Texas Republicans tuned in with their votes. Crazy Tea Party Libertarian Birther and 911 Conspiracy nutjob Debra Medina won another 18% of the Republican vote. While once reasonable Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson went from 20 points ahead to 20 points behind no matter she did spread her legs for the Texas Tea Baggers.
Less than a year ago, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was the most popular elected official in Texas and the oddson favorite to be the next governor of Texas. Some polls showed her leading the incumbent, Rick Perry, by more than 20 points.
What Hutchison didn’t realize this time a year ago was that her fate may well have been sealed by Tax Day, April 15, 2009, when Perry spoke at tea party rallies in Houston, Dallas and Austin and suggested — merely suggested — that Texas might have reason to secede from the union. He never mentioned the word “secession,” but there was no mistaking his drift.
Signaling his sympathy with the wave of anti-Washington, anti-Obama animus sweeping Texas and the country — animus fueled by the tea partiers — Perry effectively tagged his fellow Republican as a creature of Washington after her 16 years in the Senate. She never recovered from the anti-Washington barrage. And she knew it. Hutchison didn’t realize how strong the anti-Washington sentiment was
So now it's a battle between Republican Rick Perry and Democratic Mayor of Houston Bill White. I wonder how that will go here in Dumbutt? Gosh...

 19 year old Jason Robert Bourque and 21 year old Daniel George McAllister are in jail with a $10 million apiece bond for burning down a church in East Texas. It is not yet known if they are responsible for the other 9 church burnings in the area nor does their seem to be a motive as the churches were both White and Black and different denominations of Texas evangelical protestant craziness. I may be going out on a limb here, but it seems more than obvious to me they boys were taking out their anger at God for very very bad haircuts. Two men Arrested for Church fires

If you were unawares, the man behind the Tea Party movement, Texan Dick Armey and his Freedom Works is most famous for when he was House Majority leader calling Representative Barney Frank, "Barney Fag". Just to get the taste of Tea Bagging into your face if you will. Secondarily his celebrity was because he voted against HEAD START every time it came to a vote, often he was the only such vote in the world. Helping kids at risk is way WAY way WAY down on Dick's to do list. Top of the list of course is to make sure those with them most don't have to pay taxes.
So here in Texas one cannot get away from this image which I have seen literally hundreds of times already on tv. There can be now better political ad in Texas than this. Darkened faces of the opposition superimposes with a queer Yankee liberal. Primary over! End of story! Bye Bye Kay Bailey Hutchinson!

Parents are outraged! Children have had their innocence destroyed! Naughty words were said to be used while answering questions the girls - 6th through 8th grade - asked concerning keep the groping boys at bay. Questions relating to not getting STDs or pregnant. Oh the horror! Parents want Hitchcock school board member Shirley Price to resign.The school board members are siding with Ms Price including a few local ministers, while what seems and organized group of parents are up in arms screaming for her head on a platter. And below is the key to the issue which the Houston Chronicle so LOUDLY ignors!

Both Ken Starr and his wife Alice are practicing members of the Church of Christ, which is the denomination of California's Pepperdine University. This is where Ken Starr has been since he dedicated his life and reputation to lead Republicans upon our nation's most embarrassing historical moment. The 1998 failed impeachment (in the Senate) of President Clinton for a hummer in the coffee clutch. The Ken Starr Report - Filthiest public document every submitted to congress
Ken Starr forced young women (and sometimes their mothers) - under threat of years in federal prison - to tell him not only who they had sex with, but when they had sex, what specifically they did during the sex act, what positions they used, and of course if they swallowed. He was the voice of the Republican Party at the time which was hell bent upon peeking in our windows. How to explain oral sex to a 6 year old
All honorable men of good character who may be lucky enough to get a BJ not only refrain from pointing the finger, but lie about it if asked.
From now on in America, any man lucky enough to get a BJ knows to pull the shade; for there is probably a Republican outside peeking in the window. Rack Jite quotes

The 15 member of the Texas Board of Education is controlled by 7 Evangelical Fundamentalist Creationists, who often get their 8th deciding vote to defile science and rewrite history from the three just plain old conservative Republicans or the one fundamentalist Catholic who is one of the five Democrats on the board. Confusion bars
children's author from curriculum

The Texas State board of education is our public face of Christian
Evangelical Fundamentalist fervor down here in Dumbutt. The 15 members
of the board are made up of 7 hardcore Evangelical fundamentalist
creationists, 3 conservative Republicans, and 5 Democrats. They not only
dictate classroom curriculum but decide how text books for Texas
children should be written. Texas being as large as it is, every 10
years the initial buy of these text books is so great that the
publishers sell these Texas Taliban influenced editions to many smaller
states and school districts. Texas education board yet again promotes ideology over academics

Sadly it looks as if that ho toe licking turncoat little bastard Fox News analyst Dick Morris was right so many months ago when he predicted that the Republicans would win the House come November and the White House and Senate in 2012. For what we found this past year was that the words "liberal", "progressive", "Democrat", "big government" and "taxation" all mean the same thing, the socialist redistribution of wealth from white to less than white which MOST OF US want nothing to do with.

A little more than two years ago Joe Horn - who lives just up the road from me a piece - shot and killed a couple suspected burglars running away from his neighbor's home. It was a bright sunny day, there is a record of his 911 call and the facts are clear as a police officer witnessed it all. Texas Hero Joe Horn Shoots 2 Unarmed Black Men in the Back
Horn shot two unarmed black men in the back with a 12 gauge shotgun from 10 feet away. Harris County (Houston) refuses to release the autopsy of the suspect shot twice, once in the back of the neck. Seems the man had his head blown off his body, which could have caused the Grand Jury to indict Horn rather than give him a "no bill" and hero status as they did.
This story is old, but it keeps my attention because comments to these Joe Horn articles keep coming in and I receive email alerts. As one can see, they are overwhelming about the joy so many take in the bloody physical suffering of these men. Note they were not only back but also Hispanic. You can be sure these kind of people who get erections over such carnage never bother to to think of the suffering of these men's friends and families, or the suffering of anyone for that matter, it is the nature of the Beast.
The defense these KIND OF PEOPLE offer as defining Horn as a Hero deserving of parades in his honor, are that it is two less leeches "on welfare and food stamps" who are no longer a drag on our society. And then deny it has anything to to with race. That lie that so permeates our society for we all know damn well that had the men been white Horn would not have shot them. ABSOLUTELY WE KNOW THAT! Both sides KNOW THAT. But one side must like to redeem their sorry nature.
Here is a picture a few days after the fact when hundreds of Harley owners showed up to rev up their engines to drown out a press conference called by local black activists.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Joe Horn did not attend any of the "JOE HORN THE HERO" parades these KIND OF PEOPLE planned around Houston in the following weeks. In fact this so destroyed Horn's life, he has moved away and is hiding out sorry as Hell he got himself into this mess.
Neither is this overt racism called what it is by the mainstream media who do not want a national discussion on race. After all, tens of millions of racists buy lots of Ford Pickup trucks, GEICO insurance and Budweiser. [Oh, and who relate very well to a very white woman, in a very white uniform, in a very white room, with very white furniture, a Hog in her garage and a beehive haircut making her seem she just walked off stage with the B-52's]
Oops, I lost hold of the issue here which was not intended to be racism. But you know, it keeps popping up in so many issues, especially when White-wing tax money is involved. It matters not whether this joy of bloodletting is due to race or poverty, it is disgusting no matter. Really really disgusting.
As the years have passed I find the issues that matter most to me have narrowed to those of war, executions, guns and pit bulls. It is not so much pacifism as it is non violence. After all, violence is the cause of most man made misery upon this Earth. It is best to deter it rather than promote it.
I have my spiritual side which rises up in anger when I find our national brand of Christianity does not step up to the plate in these matters, but rather puts the pedal to the metal. Its disgusting. Really really disgusting. American Christianity pages at Kick!
Americans differ from the rest of the civilized world as our point of view is so locked into our own wingtips, our Adidas, our Tony Llamas and above all our combat boots.
More than any nation - other than the Muslim theocracies - Americans take joy in the violent suffering of others, often ecstatic joy, whether at the point their guns, in our execution chambers, our preemptive wars and even torture which about half of us believe a good idea, the Republican half. The Gunloons on Kick!
Our love for Pit bulls, Rottweiler's and Hummers also enter into this. The macho fun taken in buying a Hummer to show the world that you could care less about that world yet anyone in it.
The enjoyment Americans take in so much violence sets us apart from not only the civilized world but most of the third world as well. We are the Barbarians at their Gate.
The bottom line here is that enjoying the violence suffered by others we don't like, makes enjoying the non violent suffering of others an altruistic step up! So much for health care reform...

"I do not condone, nor will I tolerate what occurred at Station 54." Houston Mayor Annise Parker
 Not long ago female firefighters Jane Draycott and Paula Keyes complained to the Houston Fire Chief that they were being sexually harassed by male co workers at Fire House 54. After the complaint fireman at station 54 - wanting to show how absurd the accusations were - placed hangman nooses and scrawled racial epitaphs on the walls of their fire station sleeping quarters. Last week Draycott returned to work to what was suppose to be a session of contrition, but turned out to be 4 hours of in your face personal attacks by the station chief and the coworkers of station 54. The Houston fire chief was present and finally stopped the show, after 4 hours of it! Draycott walked out and returned to paid leave and her lawyers. Paula Keyes also on paid leave decided not to show up for her turn and is back talking to her lawyers. Houston Chronicle StoryOur new mayor Annise Parker is - how does one say - PISSED! In a related story Houston female firefighter Heather Arnorld though not part of station 54 has said she has suffered now sexism and is doing just fine with her male coworkers. I apologize for not putting names to the faces in the accompanying graphic as there is no way of knowing who is who! Kick! Bigotry and Sexism

"Father don’t ever forgive them for they know just what they do. And so I beseech you to found a religion in my name based on the personal pride taken in executing more people, more often and more quickly for ever less reason." The last exclamation of Christ.
The Ten Reasons Capital Punishment is wrong:
1) There is no greater form of state intrusion into individual liberty than execution.
2) Mistakenly executing someone cannot be rectified.
3) Who we choose to execute is more often decided by emotion, race and economics than by law.
4) Execution has repeatedly been shown not to be a deterrent to capital crimes.
5) Solving problems through killing is the wrong message to send our children.
6) Capital crooks won’t be putting their hands up as much causing a rise in the amount of dead police.
7) When the government kills people it makes us all party to murder.
8) We end up substituting one set of family victims for another.
9) Compassion and mercy are better indicators of civilization than are violence and vengeance.
10) If we took that eye for an eye crap seriously, we would all be blind and toothless in no time.
Just the other day here in Dumbutt a statistical computer model from University of Texas Huntsville declared that Texas executions saved 60 lives last year! Study says Texas death penalty a homicide deterrent
A couple things:
University of Texas Huntsville is the central educational college for police and criminal Justice.
University of Texas Huntsville is located in Huntsville, Texas which is the execution capital of the civilized world.
University of Texas Huntsville is located in the old confederacy and Bible belt where capital punishment is a proudly enjoyable process.
The study MUST assume that potential killers read the Houston Chronicle daily to know that executions have taken place so they can be deterred. BTW, most are gangs of blacks and Hispanics and the hot headed in trailer parks who don't read a damn thing other than the backs of cereal and ammo boxes.
And the real kicker! The study uses computer models which Republicans loudly and unanimously refuse to accept as anything other than liberal tripe. We know this absolutely for their spittle laced screams about climate change and the census.

I have a thing about political correctness. I believe - strike that - I know that political correctness has been the primary driving force for the rise of America's conservative hegemony over the past generation. It is what drives the less educated working class to stand tall against their own self interest to vote for rich Bankers who charge them 35% interest and want them either to shoot themselves out of existence or spend their lives in jail. The PC chapter at Kick!
So with that said no apologies to the less than smart reading this.
Conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks this week wrote an interesting column explaining that our political strife is not derived from left/right, red/blue or rural/urban but educated versus uneducated. The Tea Party Teens.
Republican elitist Brooks makes a very good case for this with his examples of being on opposite sides regarding abortion, global warming, public option, gun control and foreign policy. I would like to also add to the mix evolution, angels, multiculturalism and meth.
An example of this popped up today in the Houston Chronicle. Down here in Dumbutt Governor Rick Perry has denied our educational system most of a billion dollars because he does not want Texas education federalized. Schools want Perry to seek grant money
On the surface this is mostly about nationalized testing which would put Texas education at the 50th worst state rather than hover somewhere in the 40s. But digging a bit deeper we find it has its roots in the lie of of evolution, the hoax of climate change, forcing our kids to pray no matter what the constitution has to say about it, and that non whites have no business being in Texas history books.
The only other state to deny their children this big chunk of federal education money is of course Alaska. The bigger they are the harder they fail. If you have any doubts I remind you...
41% of Americans see the Tea Baggers in a positive light.
American polls show Glenn Beck beats out the Pope as the 4th most respected man in the world! IN THE WORLD MIND YOU!
Americans say Sarah Palin is the most respected woman in the world (tied with Hillary Clinton).
Americans voted for a president who was a KNOWN MORON twice in a row this past decade.

From: William Kerr [mailto:producer5_2005@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 2:40 AM To: rackjite@comcast.net Subject: New laws
Yea, we Texans passed the Castle Law and several other local laws you didn't bother to mention. We're armed and there's not a god dam thing you can do about it. So, eat it you cat kissing liberal. How does it feel when your bitch shit gets shoved right back in your face?
There are many things wrong with Republicans, but this joyous thirst to kill someone is perhaps their defining trait. Oh and dancing out front of the Ellis Unit after an execution. And slapping their kids around or needing a rottweiler to feel good about themselves. And of course wearing a cowboy hat that falls well over their ears.
They say as we grow older we become more conservative. The opposite has happened to me. And I think it has to do with concluding that violence is central bane of humanity. And promoting it in any way is wrong, and I will have no part in it. And the NRA telling our children they cannot be a man unless they carry a big loaded gun around is scumbaggery.
I gotta gun and it aint teenie, it makes up for my little weenie.

Update: Walder was captured on
Dec 27th surrounded by police, he said he slapped a full clip into his
weapon but noticing all the officers were WHITE decided to surrender
instead. More photos of this Republican Tea Bagger.
Liberty Texas store owner found in pool of blood after robbery
The suspect was identified by police as Stevie R. Walder Jr., 31, who also goes by "Bubba."
Bishop said Walder, who has a lengthy criminal history in Liberty County, is believed to be a member of a white supremacist group.
Walder is described as 6 feet 2, about 250 pounds, with a shaved head.
He has many tattoos, including a skull on the left side of his neck, a SS symbol on the right side of his neck and tear drop under his right eye.
He is known to drive a green Chevy truck with Texas plate AB1-7183. He also drives a 1998 dark green Dodge pickup with an extended cab, Texas plate 92L-RW3, and has a Republican Party sticker on the back window.
The victim of course had a funny name, Naushad Virani, which makes all Tea Baggers suspect.
I am on the lookout for any pickup trucks down here sporting Republican Party logos. So far I have seen 13, all parked in driveways on my block.
I would also like to say that the bias in this article read by a couple thousand people is nothing, NOTHING compared to what Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity do for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to a collective audience of 50 million people. I also might add that the facts I reported are NOT MADE UP LIES.

A reminder that openly gay Annise Parker was elected mayor of Houston in which only 16% of eligible voters turned out.
Another reminder. The real news about Uganda voting in new laws to execute gays was that Nigeria already has such laws. And pastor Rick Warren is a big contributor to evangelical fundamentalism in Uganda.

 Imagine home owner Barry McBee's chagrin when his Christmas surprise caused an extremely undesired reaction, which certainly wasn't what he'd intended! Barry McBee said he was aiming to make people chuckle by adding a Santa hat and white beard to the 5-foot-tall replica of Michelangelo's David, the nude Renaissance statue with six-pack abs - an image at odds with usual depictions of a fat, jolly St. Nick. McBee's humorous yard art isn't limited to the winter holidays. "I just like to shock people to make them laugh, kind of break the monotony around here," said McBee, who has all kinds of animal yard ornaments in his garage. "I just bring them out occasionally." He sounds like the kind of guy I'd love to have in this neighborhood,with a massive collection of yard art, yet the restraint to use it for irony only.
First, one assumes that the statue "David" is well known, I suspect that may have been Barry McBee's first mistake. To emphasize that this was not a lewd assault on the neighborhood, those who are familiar with the statue, know that in no way can Michelangelo's David be confused with a tribute to John Holmes, even if he were standing in the cold, if you catch my drift, and I know you do. Big Spring residents didn't care if this was an ironic and humorous Christmas decoration, with the festive Santa hat and long white beard adorning David for the holidays. In their opinion, McBee didn't cover up nearly enough! The town either wanted the statue properly covered, or put in the back yard again where he resides most of the year, when he's not freezing his naughty bits off.
As in all of these ridiculous matters, one must brace for the concerned adults to bring out the Big Guns, 'The Children!' While McBee doesn't live on Main street, one gets the impression that every child was subjected to the shocking
scenario..as mom drove by. .Officials claim to have received calls stating that "Children were asking why Santa was naked." We don't know how many asked, but it is a pity that the adults could not educate them about art,and/or irony. After all, what parent hasn't thought up a good excuse for there being a Santa in every store, rather than just one at the North Pole?
A major investigation complete with photos and measurements ensued. Searches through city codes failed to find a violation. Rejoice! It is perfectly okay
to display your nude Michelangelo statue wherever and however you like. If McBee were the bad neighbor, and not the jolly soul who only wished to bring a giggle to his neighbors,he'd install David as a fountain with many spigots
ejecting water, crowned each evening by a colored light show and musical montage, but he's not that kind of guy. (I thought of it, maybe I'm that kind of person?)
Since McBee didn't wish to offend children, friends came to the rescue, by putting the snazzy pair of black and white faux velvet shorts with a saucy Christmas bow on the statue.
I could be wrong in thinking that the major issue is not the scandalous sight of a well known statue in full view of the young 'uns. Is it an overreaction to nudity, a serious lack of humor and common knowledge....or too little to occupy the minds of the self satisfied warriors who snap into action when something like this arises. Let us not forget the seven thousand dollar curtain to cover another venerable statue, so that Aschroft could be seen in front of her frosty nude breast. Perhaps it's mainly hypocrisy after all or Texans likes their Santas with clothes on.

"She's like me. She's got a heart and a soul. I am so happy I almost wet my pants. She will be the next President of the United States!" Theresa Cockran
Not to be out done by Theresa, Rebecca Dalberg - who arrived 11 hours before the event and spent $84 on the four copies of the book she was allowed to have autographed - got her 2 airheadcents worth in. Palin gets a hero's welcome at Fort Hood
"She's human. She listens to people. She doesn't think that she's better than anyone. She's all-American. That's Mom, apple pie and John Wayne. She doesn't make mistakes. She doesn't do wrong." Rebecca Dalberg said.
These two women sure make that quote scrolling across the top of the page here more omnipotent than I had imagined when I wrote it. Stupid is as Stupid does.
A couple things on this.
John Wayne was the only Hollywood actor of the time to loudly refuse to participate in World War II because it would interfere with his making money as an up and coming star. John Wayne was a cowardly yellow Chickenhawk and that is a fact.
Sarah Palin doesn't make mistakes? Gosh, her book overflows with them as do her interviews and most every action she ever took. Earth to Rebecca! BTW, Sarah's answer to most every question put to her is "We need to reduce taxes and get the government out of the regulation business. You Betcha!" How profound! How original!
But the coup de grace here is something I have lonesomely been harping on for a generation. "She doesn't think that she's better than anyone" is the key to the politics of a generation.
We so often ask WHY so many working class Americans will pull that straight GOP ticket in the voting booths, going against their own self interest in most everything other than dispensing intolerance and bigotry. Whether we call them the Moral Majority, Reagan Democrats, REAL Americans, Red State Americans, Working Class Republicans, Tea Bagging Numbnuts or what have you, it is this very statement that explains it all.
Brought on mostly by what was coined as POLITICAL CORRECTNESS in the 1980s, this attitude has permeated our culture to such an extent that what stupid people hate the most in this world is smart people. Especially if those smart people are thinner and better looking than they are. Smart people, Smart people, Smart people got no reason to live.
And lastly, this story tells of some $10,000 from this Palin Book signing sales going to benefit the families of the Ft Hood Fallen.
Why do we need charity to help these Military service members, their families and Military service support workers? One would think a government that benefits from these people risking their lives for us would take care of them. But no, and the Rebeccas and the Theresas of Texas will vote for the party that screws them over at every opportunity. Because most of all they do not want people smarter than they are telling them what to do. And that is the attraction of Sarah Palin - who is no smarter than anyone. And proves it everyday.

By upholding the Plano School District rules on distribution of Christian materials in school the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals halted students - the children of four sets of evangelical fundamentalist creationist parents who brought the suit - from handing out Jesus pencils, Jesus Candy Canes and Jesus creationist cards DURING classes. Court Sides With Plano ISD In Candy Cane Lawsuit
The story here is not that the separation of church and state was enforced down here in Texas, but how that the present agreed upon law is that the Texas courts allow Republican Christian Evangelical Fundamentalist Creationists to distribute whatever Christian materials they wish IN TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS before and after school, at three annual Christian school parties, during recess, at designated tables in the hallways during school hours and at the cafeteria during lunch periods.
That's not enough for the Texas Taliban here in Dumbutt. For like their counterparts in the swath of Hell between Afghanistan and Pakistan, they want it all and they want it now. GOT IS GREAT!
They want to shove their intolerant bigoted mindless crap down the throats of ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ALL THE TIME. And for the most part they get away with it here in Texas.

 Texans were sadly disappointed last night in not being able to do the Injecto on nutcase Gerald Eldridge. Judge With only two hours to go until that Don't Mess With Texas moment, Judge Lee Rosenthal stopped the process interrupting Eldridge's last requested meal of pancakes with peanut butter and oatmeal cookies, yum. Eldridge ReprieveEldridge has little time for injections, last meals and such up there at the Polunsky Unit waiting room in Livingston where he and his brother build boats and his wife and 7 children live with him inside his cell. But not to worry, we will get the job done, other than the guns, it's what we are most famous for and proud of.

Down here in Dumbutt the Tea Baggers are far more popular than they are in the rest of the nation. Even our Governor Rick Perry joined their ranks calling for succession from the Union from the steps of the Alamo!
Tea Baggers around the state have registered fro the upcoming GOP primaries wanting to oust at least five (so far) Republican US Congressman, some who have an American Conservative Union score of 96%!
The ACU is the gold standard for rating Right-wing Snitwits in America. A score of 96% is not good enough for these Beckian Tea Baggers whose battle cry is "Limited Government and back to Religious Values!"
That part about "Limited Government" and their inarticulate screeching about The Constitution is their disagreement with the concept of taxation - with or without representation.
Sure they like having free boat ramps for their bass boats, but their hard earned money going to anyone less white than they are is what this is mostly about.
Also keep in mind when the Republicans spent $1 trillion dollars (unfunded) on that bad war in Iraq that gained us not a thing but 5000 dead American kids, THESE KIND OF PEOPLE went to Support our Troop War rallies. When $1 trillion (funded) MAY go to keep millions of Americans from losing their homes to medical debt, and giving tens of millions more basic health care, THESE KIND OF PEOPLE will not have any of it! It is not only fascism, Nazism, Marxism, Communism, Socialism but it is now worse than the Holocaust!
When I was little I remember we had THESE KIND OF PEOPLE running around too. Though we heard about them mostly from their billboards or from comedians and singers it was the same, then they were called the John Birch Society. And round and round it goes...
The "Religious Values" part of this is about denying gay couples not only the use of the word "marriage", but also giving gay couple the same rights the Tea Bagger couples enjoy. And of course as they scream about the intrusive government they want the government to deny women their right to choose to have abortion. That's the kind of logic that comes with blind faith.
The third rail - a generic reference to the underling cause of things - is more than obvious when you go to one of these Tea Bag rallies, read their signs, listen to their speakers and talk with a few of the fat ugly old white people sitting around wolfing down Hostess products. And of course the farting.
Here it is, the bottom line in this Tea Party Madness.
Tea Baggers are madass angry that the 8 happy years they enjoyed having a slow witted, inarticulate, God Fearing, Good ole White Boy in George W Bush has been usurped by an articulate uppity Multi-cultural Constitutional Law Professor! OMG! A SMART PERSON! Smart people are not popular in Texas unless they can prove they own and use more than four guns. [Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson just released that information as she is running behind Rick Perry.]
Down here these Tea Baggers are sure to cause some pain for the GOP come the 2010 elections. Their entrance into the tight race for Governor down here between Perry and Hutchinson could very well force a very nasty run off. Perhaps next year at this time the Governors Mansion will be fixed with Democratic Candidate Kinky Friedman living in it. GOP’s latest foes hail from Tea Party

You think you have issues with these crazy Beckian Tea Baggers running amok in your parks and town halls? You have it easy, here in Texas that crazyass Glenn Beck watching Tea Bagger is our Governor! And he is ahead in his run against conservative Republican Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

This Sunday's Houston Chronicle editorial board weighs in on the intolerance at play by Houston's local Republican Christian Bigots. THESE KIND OF PEOPLE are very good at finding, supporting and promoting the intolerance, bigotry and exclusion they find in Christianity while they are very poor at finding the love, compassion and inclusion Christianity is based upon. It is what THESE KIND OF PEOPLE do and what THESE KIND OF PEOPLE are. Mayoral Candidate Annise Parker suffers Houston's Republican Christian Bigotry
Do the right thing - It’s time to disavow the politics of discrimination and bigotry HOUSTON CHRONICLE - Nov. 14, 2009,
A
band of socially conservative activists and ministers has injected
intolerance into Houston's mayoral election. As reported Saturday by
the Chronicle's Bradley Olson, the group plans to discourage voters
from supporting City Controller Annise Parker in the Dec. 12 runoff
because she is a lesbian, and because they're worried about a “gay
takeover” of City Hall.
Dave Welch, executive
director of the Houston Area Pastor Council, told Olson, “The bottom
line is that we didn't pick the battle, she did when she made her
agenda and sexual preference a central part of her campaign.”
That's a lie.
While
Parker has never made a secret of her sexuality, the campaign debate
and agenda to date have been wholly defined by the issues facing the
city and the comparative qualifications and experience of the
candidates.
Parker's
opponent, former City Attorney Gene Locke, has stated that he favors
overturning a city charter amendment that bars Houston from extending
benefits to the domestic partners of city employees, a bolder stance
than that taken by Parker.
But
Locke has also been courting the support of Dr. Steven Hotze, a
conservative power broker and apparently one of the prime movers behind
the effort to smear Parker. Hotze was the man behind the 1985 Straight
Slate, a roster of City Council candidates he recruited to run on an
anti-gay platform. (They all lost.)
According
to a Hotze mouthpiece, he's thinking about stirring up his distasteful
stew with a mailing inspired by Parker's sexuality.
Houston
deserves better. Our city has a well-earned reputation for tolerance
and openness. We don't need inflammatory appeals to folks' worst
instincts.
We've
been here before. In 1997 a small-minded ballot initiative would have
ended the city's affirmative action program that helped minority and
women contractors. Mayor Bob Lanier went on the air in an ad that
bluntly stated his opposition to a proposal that would “turn back the
clock to the days when guys who look like me got all the city's
business.”
Lanier couldn't have been more clear: Discrimination is just not right.
It
was a powerful moment of leadership. The referendum went down to
defeat, and news outlets around the country marveled that a “wealthy
white developer” had taken the lead on affirmative action.
It's time for another such moment of leadership.
Saturday
afternoon, Gene Locke issued a statement rejecting “the style of
campaigning that was the subject of an article in the Houston
Chronicle.” He urged the people of Houston to choose a new mayor based
on the issues and avoid being “swayed by divisive rhetoric.”
The
rhetoric of people like Steven Hotze and Dave Welch carries a high
cost. Their support should not be purchased at the price of bigotry.

So often we read about local Republican bigots who use Christianity to ply their hateful intolerance and bigotry without seeing them. It is important we get to know them so we can pray with them if we meet them on the street. Here are Houston's three top Republican Christian bigots.

SNITWIT Dan Patrick who was our local White-wing talk radio show host for many years (he also owned the All Right All the Time station he broadcasat from) before he moved to the Texas State Legislature.
DOCTOR Steven Hotze who has been the money and power promoting intolerance and bigotry throughout Houston now for most of half a century.
PASTOR Dave Welch who speaks for the Houston Area Pastor Council.

The candidate opposing Parker in the runoff is Gene Locke. Locke had kept these pricks at arm length for most of the campaign but now coming into the stretch he has crawled over to them and stuck his head up their rancorous butts.
Of course Annise Parker being gay is a horrible horrible thing for THESE KIND OF PEOPLE, but the real issue at play is that with the help of a few other gay city council members - Parker may try to overturn the law these bigoted assholes worked so hard to pass back in 2001 - denying the partners of gay men and women the same rights they enjoy. That would be the REPUBLICAN part of this.
The CHRISTIAN part of it is to make absolutely sure no gay person is allowed to visit their sick or dying partner in a hospital! Let's call that KIND OF RELIGION exactly what it is - a shit religion.
