Git-R-Dun...

Broun wants Congress to designate the year 2010 as "The Year of the Bible" because ... "the Bible was the basis of our laws, it was the basis of the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence -- the Bible was the founding source. When our Founding Fathers established this country, they established it on freedom. That's what the Bible teaches. Every single one of our laws are based on the Biblical precepts," he explained to the morning cadre of crazies on Fox and Friends.

That's odd. My history books taught that our Founding Fathers held exactly the opposite philosophy. Y'know, that whole separation-of-church-and-state thingy in the Constitution.  Hmmmmmmm. Maybe Broun attended Christian schools where the only book in history class was (you guessed it) The Bible.

Broun is also famous for his comparison of President Obama to Hitler, warning that Obama is forming a socialist dictatorship and we should not be fooled by his youth-corps proposal, which is nothing more than a resurrection of Hitler's Nazi Youth.  Yup.  That guy. Broun.

Then there's Deal, who hopes to succeed Sonny Perdue as the next Governor of Georgia.  His attention-grabbing platform is centered on a movement to change American immigration policy by reversing the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. He wants to repeal the part about automatic citizenship for any baby born on U.S. soil.  The 14th Amendment states that, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

Deal doesn't like that. Why should tiny babies get to be citizens if their dirty immigrant parents are not?  Deal rationalizes his racism by explaining that automatic citizenship at birth "immediately makes the family unit available for social services and social programs that the taxpayers pay for, for which many cases they have not contributed if certainly not for a very long period of time." 

So much for that "give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to be free" Lady Liberty nonsense.  Deal will have none-a-that justice and equality for all commie claptrap.

Georgia has a very large, mostly Hispanic, immigrant population.  I guess Deal worries that all these less-than-lily-white kiddies will start showing up at his kid's elementary school or at the puppet show at the local library. 

I hope Deal's proposal to change the Constitution makes it all the way to the Supreme Court, so that soon-to-be Justice Sotomayor can personally write the opinion.  That would be poetic justice.

Gag me with a pork rind and RC co'-cola in my doublewide.  I think it's time to move.
