3. That he'll make Bin Laden his Secretary of State, or something? |
|
Or just that God will smite the USA with a plague of locusts for voting for him?

5. Same stuff paranoid extremists are always worried about ... |
|
End Times, pestilence, famine, locusts, emasculation. None of that ever happens and meanwhile their 401K went into the toilet and they lost their pensions/Constitution and who-knows-what-else over the last eight years. The right-wing really has a goofball helper clan with the fundies.
I have an open offer to take over all those pesky homes and cars and such from Christians who feel they will shortly be raptured. None of the ones I know take me up on it. :(

6. Yes... "Armageddon" is the word I have seen used by a few (religous, BTW) morons. |

7. Many fundie RW Christians believe |
|
that he's secretly a Muslim who will persecute them the second he takes office. I'm serious, they really believe that shit. You should have seen some of their emails during the campaign, they compare him to Hitler, literally, and his "plans" for the Jews, with them being the modern-day Jews. Unbefuckinglievable.
Then you have the gun nuts who believe he'll send a personal force out to raid each and every American's house for any guns and immediately confiscate them permanently.
Then there are the just plain racist haters who think he'll have his own black gangsta' "civilian defense corps" that will raid white neighborhoods and generally run amuck like those black hoodlums all do, anyway.
I could go and on, but you get the drift. Of just how fucking delusional and idiotic they really are.

15. Easy now - "stocking up on guns" may not be so crazy. Depends on what guns |
|
one is stocking up on and why. With Obama taking the position to re-instate the AWB, I understand the desire to get those semi-auto rifles now "while you can"...there is already a repub-sponsored AW bill in the House.
Now if it is indeed because they fear some religious doomsday prophecy - then I concur - batshit crazy!

10. Why do we give a damn, anyways? |
|
If they wanna attack us, then we respond. If they wanna kill or hurt themselves, who cares?

13. I spend a bit of time checking out the FReeptards |
|
and they're waiting for Obama to fall on his face. Their rationale is that "he's never had executive experience like Sarah Palin," so he will disappoint his supporters early on.
Some are preparing (at least they say they are) by going into Y2K survivalist mode, and frankly, since it's going to get worse before it gets better, we might want to think about taking care of ourselves in a similar manner. Those Y2K survivalist packs came in handy during natural disasters, it is not beyond reason to think that there are more surprises for us in the legacy of Bushco.

14. Apparently we're all going to turn into communist howler monkeys.... |
|
...and just drop whatever we're doing to go ramaging through the "heartland", stealing whatever isn't naild down, and raping whatever is...
Even though we're such fussy latte-sippers you'd think we'd never dare get more than five steps away from a milk steamer or esspresso machine.

17. They don't know yet. But they are preparing now so that when someone |
|
actually tells them, they can go into immediate freakout mode.
