THE HUTAREE EIGHT CONJURE UP SYMPATHY FROM THE TEA PARTY
The right of politics over the last twenty-five years has allowed itself to become the repository of the lunatic fringe of society. By and large that lunatic fringe is made up of religious nutters. To me the crowning moment was when President Bush started to invite now disgraced evangelist Ted Haggart to stay at the White House as a regular guest. This disgusting specimen of a man, father of four, who demanded of his flock a virtuous life was in the meantime for years visiting a “rent boy” (male hooker) in Denver. From the pulpit he espoused homosexuality was an abomination as he enjoyed his regular excursions from Colorado Springs to the “massage table” of Mike Jones in Denver for a few snorts of methamphetamine before some rough sex. The Republican Party has embraced religious screwballs of the likes of Haggart and today these hypocritical peddlers of Jesus are made to look as mainstream as the traditional Presbyterian pastor, when underneath most possess sinister motives for standing on the pulpit.
It is so sad that since President Obama’s inauguration the one or two of my email pen-pals who are of the other variety enjoy sending me disgusting emails promoting our President as a near on fascist, a Muslim or a dangerous Uncle Tom. They even claim he did not graduate from Columbia or Harvard and worse still suggest he is not even American. Now my views of President Bush and his deputy are certainly not flattering and sure as men, I have little respect for them only because of the evil that was perpetuated under their regime; be it Wall St greed or the Iraq war. However it seems okay for the religious right led by Boehner, Palin and Romney to sit back, say nothing and by saying nothing promote a dangerous growth in extremism which could even lead to all sorts of violence and bloodshed.
The FBI just nabbed the Hutarees in the nick of time before they embarked upon a series of murders to promote their Christian beliefs. The Hutarees is another militia similar to the KKK, Skin Heads who see the taking up of arms and revolution under the eyes of God as the only answer to cleanse the United States and restore the Constitution. This moron fringe of the right want democracy replaced with anarchy and above all as anarchists they don’t want to pay taxes of any sort. The Hutaree mob lived in a run down trailer amongst squalor, but they possesed a dozen or so high powered rifles to every one member. We now know what their intentions were. What appalls me is they represent a growing faction inside American society. The GOP through its own brand of hatred has allowed the likes of the Tea Party to prosper and to make Militias look a legitimate part of disaffected mainstream America.
Tea Party members have been quoted as saying they understand the plight of the Hutarees because it is all about the socializing of America and taking away peoples’ freedoms and the right to choose. Unless the GOP rids itself of these crazies, should “God forbid” they do become the majority party, then like the Roman Empire under King Caligula, America in my lifetime will collapse. China will march to victory without a shot ever being fired! To my idiot “pen-pals” before I erase you altogether, I must tell you it amazes me how all of you are, beneficiaries of Social Security and Medicare, yet you believe President Obama has caused you untold grief and lowered your standard of living. In a way you’re a mirror of Ted Haggerty; hypocrites of the first order.
