Fear Of The Black President Reaches A Paranoid Zenith Among Texas Republicans

Paranoid Fox News and talk radio fed fear of the nation’s first black president has reached a fever pitch, as some Texas Republicans are completely out of control....

The quotes above reflect a collective crazed state of paranoia that has no basis in fact. What is happening in Texas is the logical byproduct of years of conservative media hate and fearmongering against President Obama. Republicans have spent so long inside their media bubble where they have been told daily to fear this president that they are extremely susceptible to conspiracy theories.

The talk of military takeovers and Nazi Germany sounds just like vintage Fox News era Glenn Beck and conservative talk radio. This sect of Republicans wants to believe that they are special. In their hearts, they know that President Obama is after them. They have been told by Fox News that they are the enlightened ones who know the real truth.

As the rest of the nation looks on in disbelief at the level of crazy among some Republicans in Texas, it needs to be understood that the insanity over Jade Helm is not unique to Texas. The Republican Party has been gripped by paranoia. Republicans are paranoid, and they elect candidates who legitimize and indulge their taste for conspiracies.

1. It's a good thing they don't know that....

Obama created the floods and tornados as a pretext for sending in the military, who will confiscate their guns and force them into mandatory gay marriage. Shhhh, the secrets just between us....

5. Paranoia, a new term for a guilty conscience. Even if you act like you don't have one, it has you!

6. What a national disgrace....the paranoia is at full blown defcon 1

I wish the nutty, banana fruicakes would just implode and do everyone a favor.

7. Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me..

Just say you never met me
I'm running underground with the moles (digging holes)
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring;
But if you're bored, then you're boring.
The agony and the irony: they're killing me (whoa).

Such a great song:
