Wow. They really have lost it haven't they?

First there was this comment from Tom DeLay: "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," ( Regarding the judges independent descision in the Shialvo case.)

Then there was John Cornyn, A Texas senator, and former judge saying how he felt recent courtroom violence might be explained because judges," Are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public." The frustration "builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in" violence.

Now, his holiness, Dr. James Dobson, fresh from his battle against SpongeBob Squarepants said on his radio show yesterday, " I heard a minister the other day talking about the great injustice and evil of the men in white robes, the Ku Klux Klan, that roamed the country in the South, and they did great wrong to civil rights and to morality. And now we have black-robed men, and that's what you're talking about."

Are you *bleeping* kidding me? So Tom DeLay is one thing, we all know he's a crook and a meglomaniac, but a former judge completely misrepesenting the murders of two other judges for political gain? And this self-righteous twit Dobson who thinks that judges who don't agree with him are as bad as the KKK? Sweet Jesus! These people have lost it!

And not only do they hate the constitution in the sense that it provided for an independent, unaccountable judiciary, they also hate the troops. This week there was also rider amendment added to a bill that the Republicans refused to pass. This being that troops overseas would not be subject to the new bankruptcy bill provided that the debt occured as a product of them fighting a war overseas.

Finally, many state conservatives across the country have started trying to get laws passed allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for contraception based on moral grounds. I'm not really sure who they think they are, but seriously, A Pharmacist is only two classes above the photo guy at your local Sav-On. And they're making complex moral judgements on people they don't even know? More here

So to sum up, Republcians A) Hate the Constitution, B) Hate the troops, and C) think that women should have no say in their reproductive choices.

Cheers. Sigh.
