1. Wow - makes you wonder if he's ever read
a) The Constitution

and

b) The Lord of the Rings

I also worry about anyone who is so black/white and extreme in terms of sexual activity and "crimes":



(note: I put "crimes" in quotes because I don't really know what the hell is this is talking about in terms of "end sexual terrorism in Washington". It might mean something stupid like "No more presidents doing their interns" or might mean something good like "No more republican senators raping their page boys while writing 'family values' legislating outlawing homosexuality and while serving divorce papers on their wives dying of cancer", or something actually relevant like putting away pedophiles and rapists, but I'm sure it's something stupid).

4. He certainly hasn't read the book.
Tolkien expressly states in the preface his distaste for attaching alleghory to the trilogy - in other words, you get out of it whatever views you came into it with.

This guy, being a nerd conservative, he ends up taking lame pictures of himself in costume and attaching his conservative dogma. Sad.

5. He may be crazy like a fox though.
Just look how Ann Coulter has parlayed her insane rants into tons of dollars in her bank account.

This may be this guy's "schtick" to gain attention, and votes.

6. From what I understand D&D came out of LOTR...
And D&D is what the Christians blame all the trouble with their youth on. But The movies were a big hit among Christians. WTF?! :shrug:

8. Obviously, he ain't getting any

1. End Affirmative Action.
2. Close the Borders now.
3. Deport all illegal immigrants now.
4. Eliminate bilingual education in all states.
5. Require health tests for all recent foreign born immigrants.
6. Make tax cuts permanent.
7. Reduce the number of Federal Employees.
8. Tort Reform - Stop Class Action Lawyers.

SNIP!

Bilingualism and tolerance for others not like yourself and living the Golden Rule are tenets that underpin the LOTR. Obviously, he hasn't got a clue
