The man is really frightening. Check out his latest interview in the Washington Times. Batshit crazy:
“The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn’t stop [the courts]. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn’t stop them.”
There you have it, folks: Tom Delay doesn’t want you to have a right to privacy; he would rather have Congress control your lives.
Um, where is big government involvement in private matters in the Republican Party Platform? I must have missed it. Shouldn’t the Republicans start stepping up and policing their own ranks? This guy is out of control…
I hope we can look back at this period in history and laugh.
For some reason, fascism is in.
In a big way.
I have a co-worker who talks about the destruction of the Roman empire by the Vandals in something something AD. A wise and tolerant society lost all their technological knowledge because they were destroyed by barbarians.
Today we were talking about “how on earth could the patriot act have been passed??” He just looked at me and said, “the barbarians are coming…”
Actually, Kate, I think the barbarians are already here. They come from Texas.
(Nothing against Texans, generally, really. I mean, I’ve known some very nice Texans. Really.)
