Who Needs ISIS When Our Very Own Taliban are on The Job?? . . . .

There is a reason why The Gadfly has, on many occasion, voiced the idea that modern day American conservatives and their brethren, the religious right, pose an infinitely greater threat to democracy and the American way of life as we know it, than Al Qaeda, ISIS, Fidel Castro and The Kardashians combined.

Observe:

A 67-year-old Marietta, Georgia man is accused of planting a backpack containing two pipe bombs in an Atlanta-area public park in order to frighten the public and sow fear of Islamic terrorism.

According to Atlanta’s Channel 2 News, conservative “patriot” Michael Sibley confessed to police that he was trying to educate people that terror strikes can happen anywhere and without warning when he planted the bombs last November.

The backpack contained two partially-constructed pipe bombs, a Koran and a list of “soft targets” for terrorist attacks — i.e., non-military, unguarded structures like hospitals and schools. Among the list of potential targets was an Atlanta Jewish center.

Channel 2 quoted Sibley’s arrest report, which reported that he “(s)tated that he is a ‘patriot’ and he felt no one was paying attention to what was going on the world. Sibley felt if he placed the package in a Roswell park then people would finally get that this type of activity could happen anywhere.”

Sure -- he was only planting pipe bombs in a public place to prove to Americans that it "can happen anywhere."

Anyone care to wager which side of the fence this asshat's politics fall on, or shall we say, which side of the Tea bag??

Next up:

An Arizona lawmaker suggested Wednesday that Americans should be required to go to church on Sundays.

State Sen. Sylvia Allen (R) made the comment during a state Senate Appropriations Committee meeting on legislation concerning concealed weapons carry in public places, according to local TV station KNXV.

“And how we get back to a moral rebirth in this country, I don’t know since we are slowly eroding religion at every opportunity that we have," Allen said, as quoted by KNXV. "Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth."

Doh!!  Of course!!  Silly Gadfly! ... What better way to show those tyrannical, freedom hating Islamic extremists just how exceptional America is by making it a law that everyone has to attend church on Sunday.  And lest anyone think this conservative Republican (who else?) nitwit truly meant attendance could be at one's "church of their choice," just ask her if that includes Muslim churches, Jewish churches, the Church of Wicca, other pagan churches, or the church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or the Church of Scientology?  As for The Gadfly, he'll stick with his church, the church of reality, and just tell this crazy bitch to go blow it out her ignorant ass.

Lastly:

At a Friday prayer breakfast in Vero Beach, Florida, Duck Dynasty star, Phil Robertson gave a truly bizarre speech where he fantasized aloud about an atheist family being raped, tortured, and murdered. Robertson, the reality TV star turned right-wing folk hero, was trying to expound upon the dangers of atheism at the prayer breakfast. Robertson’s tirade against atheism took a bizarre turn, however, as his speech turned into a gruesome, macabre tale. Robertson told the audience a graphic morality play, as follows:

"I’ll make a bet with you. Two guys break into an atheist’s home. He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters. Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot them and they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And then they can look at him and say, ‘Isn’t it great that I don’t have to worry about being judged? Isn’t it great that there’s nothing wrong with this? There’s no right or wrong, now is it dude?’"

Ok dear readers.  Stop right there.  Now --- if someone sane wanted to make the quite simple point that in their view atheism was an inferior belief system than the belief in Christianity, then what exactly would the point be of manufacturing the most macabre and gruesome analogy that one could possibly cull from the deepest, darkest, most ghoulish recesses of their fervent imagination??  Ehhhh??

Oh!  But it gets better --- observe:

"Then you take a sharp knife and take his manhood and hold it in front of him and say, ‘Wouldn’t it be something if this [sic] was something wrong with this? But you’re the one who says there is no God, there’s no right, there’s no wrong, so we’re just having fun. We’re sick in the head, have a nice day."

Severed penis dangled in front of the taunted victim.  Lovely.

And this creep is a hero to American right wing conservatives just because he got fucking rich selling a stupid little device that makes the sound of a quacking duck.  He's one of their spokespeople.  He's a representative of their mindset and their core beliefs platform.  Never mind the fact that he's a sick fucking sociopath and a menace to decent society, who in a sane world would be thrashing around in a straight jacket in the rubber room of a mental hospital.

So yeah dear readers, The Gadfly does not find much redeeming social value, in the areas of humanity, love and dignity in these American Taliban assholes -- no, not much at all.  And The Gadfly will honestly tell you all that if he has a breath left in his body at the time of his exit from this earthly existence, it will be teeming with words cursing these sonofabitches well nigh into the nirvana sunset.
