Right Wingers: We lost because of the Gay Illuminati, Class Warfare Troopers, and Atheists

Like Glenn Beck, the American Family Association also hosted a live election night broadcast which took on a somber and sour mood once it became clear that the conservative agenda was going down in defeat all across the board, prompting Sandy Rios to say that Elizabeth Warren was elected to the Senate because Massachusetts had been inundated by gays who destroyed the educational system as she watched in horror the breaking news that Todd Akin was being "blown out" in his bid for the Senate.

Morton Blackwell was then brought in to explain that President Obama was going to win re-election because he "did not underestimate the capacity of people to harbor envy and hate and greed for something for nothing," while Bryan Fischer suggested that perhaps we ought to just split the country in half and let conservatives run their half and liberals run the other ... with a massive wall in between, of course, to keep out all the liberals who would try to sneak in.

For Tim Wildmon, Obama's re-election could best be explained by the fact that he was re-elected by the states where people don't go to church before finally simply declaring that "it's a tragic night".

is that they'd have to have a wall to keep out liberals who would try to sneak in. WHY, pray tell, would we want to sneak into their bigoted, air-and-water-polluted-to-high-Heaven, militaristic Theocracy? - if the country was actually split into two.

Even they know that if they got absolute control over a section of the country, it would quickly become a post-apocalyptic cesspool, but they, their power, and their money are there, so that means, by golly, that people want to be ruled by them.

sorry to all of the red state DUers... but I hate the red states... just despise them... when required to travel to one for my job... I can't wait to leave... sorry, it's just the way I feel.

I have family in AZ that I visit on occasion... and every time I drive back to California, I can't wait to cross the state line at the Colorado river near Blythe. I literally scream in my car "SO HAPPY TO BE OUT OF THERE"... I hate the hateful signs you see near the highways, I hate the bumper stickers you see on the cars... and mostly I hate the hateful people I meet. I didn't hate them first, but I hate them with more passion than they understand.

I used to love to visit Arizona in the 1970s... politics wasn't a big thing then... sure they had Goldwater and such, but it wasn't all that racist, small minded and mean spirited.

I don't think that I've changed... Arizona has changed.

every state has some of both sides, of course. I guess I'm a little defensive about it because I'm originally from 30 miles south of Austin, which I'm sure you know is 'an island of Blue in a sea of Red'. Even here in NM where I am now, I'm in a Blue county, but in the southern 1/3 of the state which just re-elected a Red (jerk) US Rep. Most places are pretty mixed.

Every time I drive to LA on I-5 I see the billboards about how Nancy Pelosi CAUSED the "new dust bowl" in the Central Valley and that "water is everything to farmers" and anti-Boxer ads and so on. Every one I pass makes my blood boil for the shear stupidity of the people that put them up... really, you can't grow rice in a semi-arid desert... idiots.

But I live in the Bay Area, conservatives here, for the most part, keep their stupid opinions to themselves. I can't imagine living someplace else, someplace more mixed or even an island of blue in a sea of red (or even purple).

As I've gotten older, I've become much less tolerant of stupidity.

I'd rather live in a very blue area in a mostly-blue state. Which I could achieve by moving back up to northern NM, or perhaps Oregon... gotta take care of several things first, including my health.

To match their wall of circumvallation. Now they control only a thin ring of territory around the target, and nothing inside or outside of it.

The barbarians at the gates have become the besieged, pinned down in their own untenable positions and, perhaps, condemned to fall where they stand.

.......maybe it's time that they accept reality -- i.e., that they are a FRINGE group at best that does NOT speak for the majority of the people in this country.

'Course, that would require that they be HONEST and possess critical thinking skills, so, yeah, nevermind.

Well I agree with them on that. It's a lot easier to make a logical, clear-headed choice when your mind isn't being clouded with stories about how the sky wizard wants you to vote.

Not going to happen. We would be happy just going about our lives without them. Truth is that *they* need the wall to keep their people in. How many of them already have been caught preaching or legislating one thing and then taking a walk on the wild side.

If he's so moderate and so in favour of gender equality, why did the Christen Einsatzgruppen want him in the Senate so badly? They must no something.
