Bachmann: 'End Times' Are Coming

[hatrack]

154. Sorry for the rhetorical selfie, but had to repost this from another thread

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

Dear Rep. Arglebarglewargh (R-MN):

Do us all a favor. The next time "God tells you" to speak about your faith, just shut up. I don't care if it's the Dove of Peace tickling your heart, or the Holy Ghost stealing your car keys, just shut the fuck up.

You want to believe in the impending arrival of Terminator Jesus? Fine. You're pantingly impatient for the coming of the 12th Imam? Cool. You want to believe that a homicidal Santa Claus straddling a sleigh equipped with Stinger missiles, mini-guns and VX canisters will be sent from Heaven to separate the sheep from the goats on the Last Day? Have at it.

But do us a favor - while you're a federal elected official and (amazingly enough) one of the people in charge of creating federal law, do us all a favor, and shut the fuck up.

Do you know why that might be a good idea? Do you know why you might not want to publicly announce that you share the omnicidal blood-drenched dreams of the dullest and most fearful of those who support you?

Well, I'll tell you, Rep. Arglebarglewargh - because when you get the armed morons moving, it's kind of hard to stop them. When you solicit the votes of people who don't know the difference between a Sunni and Sunny Delight, who can't tell Rome from a Roma tomato, and couldn't find India on a map with a gun to their head, tell them that the President of the United States is in league with Al Qaeda, and then invoke a bunch of sub-Left Behind apocalyptic bullshit, you know what happens?

A few of them are likely to start cleaning the guns and loading up the truck. A few of them are likely to start hosing down the fertilizer with diesel fuel. And then, eventually, someone or two or three turn the key in the ignition and head for the Beltway, or the Federal Building, or the Statehouse so that they can strike a blow for Terminator Jesus, just like you told them to.

So do them, and us and yourself a favor.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
