Louie Gohmert Continues to Embarrass Texas, Believes Nuclear Reduction and Border Security Related
It wasn't long ago that Hair Balls took it upon themselves to compile the list of the five greatest idiocies Rep. Louie Gohmert has uttered. Inhabiting the worst tendencies of a Tea Party/Christianist, Gohmert has taken it upon himself to remind future students of history that the early 21st century was not kind to Texas, and that anti-intellectualism carried greater water than any form of inquisitive humility.
But after this week, it's clear that our earlier attempt to capture all the reprehensible and moronic things Gohmert's offered cannot be a one-off. You can't hope to stable all his idiotic views in but one post. It's got to become a series, a serial in which all the things Gohmert brings up -- all those views that make us realize how terrifically imbecilic the man makes the state seem -- are captured as they come. A continual update on the man who makes those in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, and Tyler look as backward as anything this side of George Wallace.
Fortunately, this was a good week for those on Gohmert watch. After all, the man knows how to use Twitter with the best of them:

"Is now really the time to reduce America's nuclear strength, when we can't even secure our borders?" I don't know, Louie -- is it? Should the 1,000-odd live warheads we still maintain -- the ones whose maintenance runs the federal budget $31 billion, and whose potential implementation would destroy all forms of higher life multiple times over -- see the stasis, or expansion, you'd prefer? Are you truly that perturbed that our nuclear draw-down has led to such geopolitical horrors as Iran electing a modern, moderate president; as Russia, despite sensible opposition to Eastern Europe's missile defense, acquiescing to continued nuclear devolution; as North Korea, belligerent with the best of them, continuing to seek high-level talks with both adjacent members?
