Huckabee: One part Elmer Gantry, One part Elmer Fudd

[hisownpetard]

And a crazy bible-thumping gay-hating liberal-bashing Constitution-shredding lunatic underneath.
Regarding internatioanl policy, a would-be wolfowitz in sheep's clothing.

1. Elmer

And he's got all the class of Elmer Fishpaw (Francine Fishpaw's husband in 'Polyester.'

2. That's a classic! K&R!

3. He shoved Jesus into the closet during New Hamphire, and now

is pulling out Jesus for South Carolina. Jesus can't be too happy with this jackass.

7. You don't tug on Superman's cape, and you don't push JC in a closet!

Get with the program, Huck: if you love Jesus in South Carolina, you gotta love him
in New Hampshire, too.

4. Elmer Fud-tree

Christian Conservative zealots are the number one domestic enemy of our constitution, and many republicans love them.

5. Your comment got me searching.

I remembered a Robert Heinlein story I read decades ago, one of his Future History stories. The story, If This Goes On--, first published in 1940, concerns an underground movement seeking to overthrow the Prophets, a series of theocratic dictators ruling the U.S. The first of the Prophets was Nehemiah Scudder, a backwoods preacher first elected President in 2012, and then declared dictator. Sound like any of the current Republican candidates?



"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything —you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him."

Robert Heinlein, "If This Goes On--"

10. Petard, you just earned yourself another recommendation

Just for making me pee into my office chair.

Gantry/Fudd...it's all there.:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

11. Great - I love anti-corporate urinations!

Thanks.:thumbsup: :hi:

[PlanetBev]

12. Actually, I work for a non-corporate property developer

My boss absolutely, positively, hates corporations. I'm lucky in that way.

[hisownpetard]

13. Well, then, I apologize for the chair.

[PlanetBev]

14. All is forgiven

Since Moshe (the boss) is not a bean-counter, I can get me a brand new chair and pee in that one too!

Me thinks that in this election year, I may go through many a chair.:evilgrin:

15. Now, there's someone who knows how to live!
