it has been said by one pundit that:
"HE IS THE STANDARD PAR-FOR-THE-COURSE INSANE RACIST...
WHO IS FILLED WITH BIZARRE RIGHT-WING FANTASY." Our pundit was, of course, speaking about one of those upper-middle-aged-white guys you see being interviewed on the Fox News Network, with their stone-cold faces and ice-cold eyes, who fill us with the fearful visions and apocalyptic solutions of the newly-minted and somewhat stained Tea Party; are always desperate for a new enemy; and, as usual, it is other Americans who happen to be of a different color than they happen to be or want to alter their views on how the world actually works.
So allow me to begin by saying that he man mentioned by our pundit has determined, all evidence to the contrary, that there are terrorist organizations - who are somewhere, somehow - concocting schemes to send their pregnant Black Widows to our American shores, spawning natural-born terrorist who will then use their U.S. Citizenship Cards to house and coddle and raise their terror babies and somewhere down the road about 20 or 30 years from now, begin to destroy the American way of life. But that's not all: He then goes on to say that Jesus hates taxes and that gun control will lead to bestiality and that Barack Obama wants to Muslimize America because he hates us. This accomplished idiot is, of course, from Texas and follows the Texas' long and well-deserved reputation of electing eminently stupid people to Federal office.
His name is Louis Buller "Louie" Gohmert, Jr. and "Lunatic Louie" just happens to be the United States Representative from Texas's 1st Congressional District since 2005. He was born in Pittsburg, Texas and received his Juris Doctorate from Texas A&M which is located in the appropriately named city of "Waco." Now age 60 and never one to let his fanatical fans down, he once gained fame as the least funny reenactment ever of an SNL sketch by playing both Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, which caused one commentator to say, "He's a racist moron whom a civilized nation should consider institutionalizing for our own safety."
Gohmert is a born-and-bred Southern Baptist who believes that if the republic is to be saved, the enemy must be cast into eternal darkness, which is why he stood firm with the Mississipi bigots following the passage of a state-sanctioned LGBT discrimination bill by saying, "You've seen it first hand, there is nobody more intolerant in this country than those that are screaming for tolerance. Christians are not intolerant but whoa, goodness these people have their leftish agenda which is intolerant and I thank you for the courage to stand up."
"Loony Louie" dismisses all who stand against his views, firm in his belief that he has discovered the truth. His common enemy is that vague concept: leftist. Therefore, he has the right to use any illogical fact to say whatever he chooses to say knowing that the mutton-headed nincompoops in his audience who are listening to what he has to say will accept it as the gospel truth. He doesn't need proof, or sourcing, or the ability to back up a claim other than the vitriol in his voice and the consternation in his gut. All he needs is a microphone and away we go.
Here's another example of Louie's style: Back in 2012 in the 112th Congress, the least-popular and least-effective in history, Louie wanted to excise the word "lunatic" from federal law because no one believes the moon makes people crazy anymore, and the word insults those with mental illness. He said that he seemed to be the only one in Washington who defends lunatics. Which proves the old adage "It takes one to know one."
Thus far, we have learned that Louie is terrified at the sight of black babies, disgusted with intolerant gays, tells us that our President hates us and understands the mind of a lunatic better than most folks do...
...But there's more: He also seems to be an immense lover of animals. While addressing the punitive reality that caribou, for some reason that only a rural Texas might understand, would be unable to enjoy the warmth of an oil pipeline when they went out on a date and headed over to the pipeline, if we humans did not have the ability to see how adversely affected the caribou might be if the warm oil ever quit flowing.
At the heart of his deplorable crusade is pathetic stupidity, and therein lies the danger. Like the wonderful people who came before him and brought us prohibition and the Mob, both he and his fellow Texan Ted Cruz want to impose their rules on the entire country, urging their colleagues in the Senate and the Congress to make their furious, fear-driven visions into the law of the land. If Louie's torrid vision were true, you would be forced to lose all hope for the nation; there would be almost nobody left who was not part of The Confederacy of Dunces, led by a guy who frets about the dating habits of the caribou...
