http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/small-government-teabagger-also-a-kiddie-porn-freak-not-all-that-shocking/" It seems to fit a pattern, in fact . When some anti-government nutjob group stands up and demands that they get lower taxes, its almost always a huge corporation behind them, pulling the strings. When some fake militia group starts shrieking about the gummint gonna take their guns, you can bet a weapons manufacturer is using those fools to make more money for the company and its directors Swiss bank accounts.
This case is no different: a Tea Party Patriot who wants the government to stop intruding in our private lives turns out to be a huge child porn addict. No S***, Sherlock, he wants a smaller government: a smaller government would have been less likely to catch the preeve, because theyd have had fewer resources for law enforcement.
And there was a lot to bust him for. Calling himself HornyPastor, he was a consumer and distributor of some of the sickest s*** you could imagine. AND by his own admission, a child molester. All the while hes been blasting our Prexy and posting Christian screeds on his suddenly-and-ever-so-coincidentally-unavailable Facebook page, hes been a criminal of the very worst sort.
There is always motivation to consider. People do weird crap every day, and we just think they are loopy. But dig a bit deeper, and youll find that there are usually perfectly understandable reasons for their behavior. People who want lower taxes want to save that money and use it for something else. People who want fewer cops might want to get away with crimes. Those who advocate getting rid of government agencies probably want to do something that the agency wont let them do. And so on.
In this case, we have a bats*** crazy Right-Wing, Republican, Birther, Teabagging, Racist, Child-Molesting, Kiddie Porn-Loving Scumbucket: even though he is quite mad, he is rational enough to know that a smaller government would be more conducive to his perverted, revolting criminal activities.
In his case, it is safe to say that we want enough government to convict him, lock his ass up and throw away the key, and to never let him draw a free breath for the rest of his despicable life. Let him teabag to his hearts content in prison, forevermore."
