Q: Why did the doe go to the Elks Lodge?
A: She wanted to blow a few bucks.
CSPAN showed Christine O'Donnell's victory speech at the Elks Lodge in Dover, Delaware. She said she wants to restore America. Yes, back to the days of the robber barons when a few people at the top made all of the money. The Tea Party is nothing more than a new name for Libertarians, people who desperately want to return to the 1800s or earlier when lords ruled over serfs.
CSPAN covered the Family Research Council's annual conference (morning video and afternoon video) titled "Values Voter Summit." Michele Bachman and O'Donnell were keynote speakers.
Bachman editorialized that the financial distress of American auto companies -- allegedly the consequence of over-generous pension plans -- are an example of contravening a basic Christian principle: "Thou shalt not covet what does not belong to us."
O'Donnell opined "The golden arches went up in Moscow, and here on our own land, family businesses became national chains: Walmart, Home Depot. Only in America could that happen."
Here she described a libertarian vision of the USA: family-run stores and restaurants and other small businesses being replaced by McDonald's, Walmart, and Home Depot, all companies which pay low wages. In the case of Walmart and Home Depot, American factories have been shuttered and their output replaced by low-quality Chinese imports, not to mention the loss of the American jobs in the factories. She did not explicitly mention outsourcing, but clearly it is a worthy goal for her, as it is for her cheerleader, Sarah Palin.
O'Donnell pined for a return to liberty, yet for her, liberty is restricted to freedom from unions; freedom from predatory capitalists is not considered an essential part of liberty.
A handful of Walton family members have earned billions from Walmart, while their employees are paid minimum wage, have no heathcare insurance, and often are forced to apply for food stamps and beg for medical assistance at public hospitals. Contrast that to GM which allowed thousands of people to give their families a comfortable middle class existence.
Bachman and O'Donnell should be waterboarded and forced to answer a simple question: why were the automotive unions guilty of coveting, yet the Walton family is not guilty?
In 1999 on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect, O'Donnell said: "I dabbled into witchcraft . . . One of my first dates with a witch was on a Satanic altar, and I didn't know it." In 2007 she said on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor: "American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains. So they're already into this experiment."
Putting aside the grammatical error -- one dabbles "in" witchcraft, not "into" it -- it appears that O'Donnell was a very popular girl in school due to her ignorance and gullibility. Her: "What's that between your legs?" Him: "It's a mouse: a really intelligent mouse. To protect it against cats, we need to hide it in your hole."
Ann Coulter said "It would be a much better country if women did not vote." She should have said that it would be a much better country if bimbos did not run for office. Coulter also said "I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote." I'd substitute an IQ test for the poll tax.
