“Everybody's
talking at me.
I don't hear
a word they're saying,
Only the
echoes of my mind.” – Fred Neil
Modern day
Conservatives spew vapid, venomous and violent rhetoric like oil pipelines spew
toxic tar sands, spreading fear and hatred through flagrant fabrications and
felonious falsehoods. Equal parts moronic and malevolent, poisonous
prevarication is the Right’s calling card, their modus operandi, and the very
backbone that vainly buttresses their ever weakening and waning medieval
ideology.
There are
numerous symposiums throughout the year in which crowds of Conservatives
convene to pledge undying devotion and fervent fealty to their billionaire and
corporate overlords; among them CPAC, the Family Values Conference, the KKK Clambake
and Obama in Effigy Lynching, and the Adolph Eichmann Sadie Hawkins Day Dance.
It is at these meetings of the mindless where traditional Conservative values
of stealing from the poor to give to the rich, denying women control of their
health care decisions, closing school food programs for impoverished children,
blocking voting rights for minorities, eliminating environmental protections,
reducing benefits to seniors and veterans, kicking puppies and tying damsels in
distress to train tracks are espoused and disguised in Orwellian verbiage for
easier sale to the anesthetized intelligence of the Fox News crowd.

Iowa
Congressman, Steve King, a Tea Party favorite who makes John Birch seem like
Bernie Sanders, George W. like Albert Einstein and Charles Manson like Mahatma
Gandhi, recently held one such smarmy assembly of 2016 Republican presidential
hopefuls at an event entitled The Iowa Freedom Summit. In between turns passionately puckering
King’s pasty posterior, this carnival freak show of Fools on the (Capitol) Hill and
Cuckoo Nest escapees held political court.
And when this Hee Haw troupe speaks specifically to their base of
Deliverance dwellers, maliciously memorable bon mots fill the air like buckshot
at a Palin wedding.

In addition
to the aforementioned contemporary Tory tete a tetes, the quotes to come have
been culled from a variety of GOP gatherings and sources, and represent just a
fraction of the sort of irrational, inane, unadulterated hatred and stupidity that
our President has faced, and classily faced down, lo these last 6 years.
Issues and Non-Answers – Words
from the Unwise
A Woman’s Right to Choose - “[America has to import so many workers
because] for the last 35 years we have aborted more than a million people who
would have been in our workforce.”
On Climate Change - “A beheading is a far
greater threat to an American than a sunburn.”
– Mike Huckabee
Marriage Equality - “Isn’t that the ultimate homeland security, standing
up and defending marriage?”
Fooling the Electorate - “We need to be the party of the worker. Why? Well, it’s just good politics. We don’t win because too many people think we don’t care about them.” - Rick Santorum
Fooling the Electorate - “We need to be the party of the worker. Why? Well, it’s just good politics. We don’t win because too many people think we don’t care about them.” - Rick Santorum

Lies and Paranoia - “This administration has so many Muslim
Brotherhood members that have influence that they just are making wrong
decisions for America."- Louis Gohmert
Health Care and Slavery - “With regard to the idea of whether
you have a right to health care, you have to realize what that implies… it
means you believe in slavery.”
America as a sovereign nation - ''I
guarantee it's one of their long-term goals, to have one sort of borderless
mass continent.'' – Rand Paul
Incoherence, thy name is Sarah - “It is good that we have a deep
bench and its primary competition that will surface the candidate who’s up to
the task and unify and this person has to because knowing what the media will
do throughout all of 2016 to all of us it’s going to take more than a village
to beat Hillary.”
“Another Latin word, status quo, and it stands for, ‘Man, the
middle-class everyday Americans are really gettin’ taken for a ride.’ That's
status quo.”– Sarah Palin
A Steve King Sampler –
“… my wife lives here with me, and I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, she’s

civilian in Iraq.”

$51.5 billion to Hurricane Katrina.”

Perhaps even
more concerning is this second set of quotations that come, not from the professional,
Congressional haters, suckling from the Koch Industries teat for their
political careers and Republican riches, but rather from “just plain folk,”
ordinary, everyday Americans who derive their animosity, not from profit motive
or concern for political advancement, but through ignorance, bigotry, hostility
and undo influence of their elected rancorous representatives. As these are not
public figures their witlessness and enmity shall remain uncredited.
People, People Who Hate People

One may
critique this posting with the claim that anyone can cherry pick and highlight
only the craziest quotes from our sizeable and opinionated population, but these
aren’t outliers or exceptions, these are typical voices of 21st
century American Conservatism, this is the thinking of the mainstream
Republican Party. Should you hold the
belief that it would be equally easy to uncover such outrageous and
contemptible statements from those on the Left, please feel free to do so and share. The Conservative ideal world is an
egomaniacal Ayn Rand paradise where all that matters is concern for self, even
at the detriment of others. A Republican Utopia would, in reality, be a
nightmarish dystopia.
