Boy, what with the Democrats embracing social/marx/fasc/ism at full throttle (Evil Party) and the Republicans getting taken over by Flat-Earth Creationists (Stupid Party) where can one turn? Not to the “I’d rather win an argument than an election” Libertarians (Irrelevant Party).
I like to think I can’t be the only rational conservative with libertarian inclinations out there, but the other two guys are keeping a low profile.
Update:
The Loonie Fringe of the Republican party is just as idiotic as the Democrats’ moonbats. Barton, former vice chairman of the Texas Republican Party, is a self-styled “historian” without any formal training in the field. He argues that separation of church and state is a “myth” and that the nation’s laws should be based on Scripture. He says, for example, that the Bible forbids taxes on income and capital gains. Yet even such groups as Texas Baptists Committed and the Baptist Joint Committee have sharply criticized Barton’s interpretations of the Constitution and history.
Don’t take too much comfort in knowing they’re the fringe: The Democrats were completely taken over by their extreme fringe. I worry that the disarray among the Republicans is creating a vacuum that attracts nutcases ike this. Oh, and by the way: Bobbie Jindahl also pals around with Barton.
NB: Yes, I understand that the “constitutional separation of church and state” is a myth, but it’s not the kind of myth Barton thinks. If he thinks the laws should be based on his “holy book” then he’s just as wrong and dangerous as the Jihadist cretins who want to impose Sharia based on the Koran. Your religion is your business, but as soon as you try to make it my government it is not a valid religion anymore and deserves no constitutional protection at all.
