Conservatives say the Darnedest Things!

Ok so I used to write post with the title "Conservatives Say the Darnedest Things! This quote from  Rep. Dave Hagstrom (R-MT) as it appears in the Addicting Info post:: You Won’t Believe This Congressman’s Statement – It Is A War On Sex (VIDEO)  certainly fits right amongst the best:

One must begin to ask why Republicans are so obsessed with the sexuality of American citizens. Why is it that they want to regulate it? Is it not the Republican mantra to keep government out of our lives; out of our bedrooms?

Yet it seems that they are constantly trying to interject their supposed belief system on everyone else. Yesterday Chris Matthews did a piece about Montana lawmakers wanting to make gay sex a crime. Addicting Info writer Lorraine Devon Wilke also covered the story extensively in her piece, “GOP Rep Declares No One Except Those Procreating Should Have Sex, Especially Not Gays”. The video provides a window into the mindset of those that believe it is their right to control everyone else’s sexuality

Rep. Dave Hagstrom (R-MT)

I have a whole lot of love and respect for a whole number of homosexual friends. So there is no homophobic issues going on here at all with me….. I kinda likened it like this. This pen has two purposes. The first purpose of course is to write. The second purpose is to retract so that it doesn’t leave a stain on your shirt or your purse. So that’s two purposes.

It just mean it’s not doing its primary purpose. (emphasis added) Continue Reading

Not only is the analogy stupid, I thought the other use might have been to poke someone's eye out, the whole idea that it's right to legislate and control someone's sexual activity is just nit right!!

Not to be outdone by Rep Hagstrom - Rep Steve Stockman says something that's as equally insane. Again from Addicting Info: Insane Republican Says ‘If Babies Had Guns They Wouldn’t Be Aborted’ (IMAGE)

Awe-inspiring, of course, through the staggering amount of idiocy. The most interesting part of the bumper sticker is the “Vote Pro-Life!” bit, because the suggestion that pregnant women seeking an abortion or the doctor doing the procedure should be shot doesn’t seem pro-life at all. It seems, in fact, murderously anti-abortion and anti-choice, but nothing more. Continue Reading

So which one wins the prize for saying the darnedest thing today? I can't get the image of those armed babies out of my head!
