A *that*- felt- good!1 double whammy/ 2-fer!1 A TeaBagger and a Fundie

One of the local radio wingnuts is of the FIREBREATHING TeaBagger variety. Really, he's in HANNITY territory along with the lone monk who singlehandedly set off the Crusades.

Weekdays he's a news reader with a five minutes slot in which he firebreathes, but his real gig is Saturdays when he has free rein for two hours, and we're talking MELTDOWNs.

The Saturday before the election he conducted a total cheerleading "predictions" session, despite that Mittens was not nearly the TeaBagger choice. His audience is probably 200 and the calls that got through were 100% Rethug.

Btw, his Saturday circus has the thinnest of veneers as being "community announcements," the subtext being that private charity is the Rethug answer to social safety nets.

So he, like HANNITY this week, has been self-controlled in the don't-give-them-the-satisfaction sense, and so far his mentions of the results have been "It is what it is."

So I took satisfaction in calling the screener and saying, "Tell (jerk-o's name) that there's a charity he needs to publicize: The pay off the campaign debt of Mitt ROMNEY." The screener was laughing. I continued, "On second thought, never mind. Mitt can afford to pay it off himself."

************THEN

A couple of religious wackos (denomination doesn't matter) just came to the front gate, had the decency not to enter. I opened my front door, did not go near them. I said, "If it's about relgion, I don't want to discuss it." One of them said, "What?! May we leave some literature?" I said, "No." He said, "You don't want it?" I said, "No." He was stunned for a second.

As I say, there's a Fundie minister who calls OBAMA (naming him) and all Libs "the seed of satan." IRS tells me they don't want to infringe on Freedom of Speech. I say, erradicate tax exemption for ALL religions. They sure like Caesar's guarantees of freedom and rights and tax exemption, while they hate (their buzzword: ) "statism." This one's latest commercial is that he really hates OFFENDING anybody but that he speaks for the Lord. Funny how that Lord is said to have created everybody, then set about making half of everybody killing off the other half.

*******HooKAY, so THAT felt good!1
