What on Earth have Republicans become? They are even paranoid about Arms Control.
Edited on Tue Apr-06-10 11:02 PM by TheBigotBasher
They are either just ridiculously paranoid freaks or are nothing short of Neo Nazi zealots trying to twist news to a dangerous and extreme agenda.

Their reaction to discussions with Russia on Arms control now borders on disgusting. These bigotbots would have happily clapped an Arms Control agreement negotiated by McCain. They happily clapped Arms Control agreements negotiated by Saint Ronnie and Poppie Bush.

Their reaction to the President clarifying the no first strike rule that has kept the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction sane is beyond any grasp of reason.

A badly worded New York Times headline is to blame for it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/06/world/06arms.html

Some of the milder lunatic statements that they are putting out:

He’s basically asking us to trust other countries or terrorist groups without being able to verify, and unilaterally disarm without it. Not to mention broadcasting to our enemies what we will or will not do. Not very “Reaganish”, that’s for sure. I think he’s in the fight of his life with this one.

And weeeeeeee! We’re off on another excellent adventure to Europe to sign another treaty with Russia. I wonder if he realizes that the Senate has to ratify that treaty. And what D senator running for office in November wants to vote “yes” on this one with the public consistently polls as distrusting his administration by large margins – and the congress by even larger margins. He’s asking them to take a dive for what he wants on his legacy resume. That’s what we get for voting in a Panglossean neophyte who has a grandiose personality disorder as leader of the free world.


Obama is disarming America – he is taking nuclear retaliation off the table.

Guess what? We’re gonna see “flash mobs” on a world wide level. North Korea, Iran, Venezuela… all getting nukes while Obama ties our hands behind our backs.

Bloody hell, folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. By 2012, we’ll be knee-deep in international crisis. National security will overtake the economy as the greatest issue in the elections by then.

We’re living in the 1930’s all over again: Depression, disarmament, rogue nations and regimes rising, domestic socialist tyranny rising…

We repeat our nightmares again and again because we always forget history.


And weeeeeeee! We’re off on another excellent adventure to Europe to sign another treaty with Russia. I wonder if he realizes that the Senate has to ratify that treaty. And what D senator running for office in November wants to vote “yes” on this one with the public consistently polls as distrusting his administration by large margins – and the congress by even larger margins.

Well, at least he gave us the Easter Weekend to rest up and re-energize. This article just went out to 34 people who I am sure are sending it out to hundreds as I type this.


Any decent person would welcome progress on Arms Control. That however requires the Republican to be decent and human.

3. Republicans have always been pro-war and pro-nuke
They looked at Reagan's arms control agreements as borderline treason. They would be almost as upset if McCain was signing the treaty - or Bush. After all, neither of them were "real" conservatives, anyway. :sarcasm:

5. here's proof of their mass delusion
Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 05:05 AM by Skittles
From your post, this quote: “Guess what? We’re gonna see “flash mobs” on a world wide level. North Korea, Iran, Venezuela… all getting nukes while Obama ties our hands behind our backs.”

From the Wikipedia entry on that scumbag Massey CEO: In a letter to the editor of the Charleston (WV) Gazette dated Oct. 30, 2009 Blankenship denied that global warming exists, and states: "Why should we trust a report by the United Nations? The United Nations includes countries like Venezuela, North Korea and Iran."


It's obvious those three countries are just another meme the dittomasters are tossing their rabid fans, who, like trained parrots, repeat on cue.

8. They're automatically against anything Obama is for.
If Obama had said the opposite, they'd be screaming about that.

10. The key phrase is "on Earth"...
They may be physically present, but their collective psyche has created an alternative reality that has nothing to do with the place their bodies reside. Republicans have gone woo-woo in the truest sense.

11. What they've become? Uneducated, xenophobic troglodytes.
Nothing's changed there--especially since the days of Lee Atwater.
