I live in a really small city in central Illinois - it is a very conservative area. One of the biggest loudest right wing nut jobs in this town declared on her facebook page that she wants a new car and asked for suggestion as to what she should buy....so far there have been some 20+ suggestions from her fellow teabaggers and not one of them have been an American Car.
Oh and just to give you an example of how crazy she is, here are some of here finer moments that I know of:
On Veterans day last year she posted a picture of G W Bush in his Air National Guard uniform and thanked him for his service to our Country - No mention of men and women who actually served.
When Illinois passed civil unions she went on a rant instructing people how to fire gays who try to get benefits for their partners - she is the office manager for her husbands dental office.
One of favorite bible quotes to post on FB "The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less,..."~~~Exodus 30:15~~~The Living Bible
and another classic in her own words: "Interesting how scared, closed-minded, and judgmental Liberals are. Another WhipperSnapper last night "accused" me of being a "complaining" Tea Party Liberaterian. Really? I must really be getting old, I don't "remember" even declaring a political party. I click "Like" on hundreds of things to gather "information". Then I share information to get feedback and thoughts. He didn't even want to be my friend because he hates all my "Likes". So he must hate "information". humm."
This just the tip of the Iceberg! The point is there are a lot of these people out there. And most of them are taking over small towns in rural America.
Thanks for letting me share!

than half a shekel when making an offering to the Lord to atone for their sins".
I'd be interested to know how she interprets that...as we generally don't make offerings to God these days.

sounds like one of those "prosperity" gospel nutjobs. I love the way so-called Christians think they can misquote their own holy book and still complain when it's quoted properly.

9. poorly laid out premise on my part...sorry |
|
but that part was meant to show how hypocritical the USA! USA! USA! crowd can be. I remember when that crowd was strictly "made in the USA" consumers. But I guess it's different now that the Koch Brothers have declared war on Union workers.
