(Community Matters) Feels as if we’re in some other universe. Such obviously respected people (by others, not me) are really saying these things:
The county judge in Lubbock: “He’s [Pres Obama if reelected] going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N., and what is going to happen when that happens? . . . I’m thinking the worst. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe.”
“Turning to the United Nations to tell us how to raise our kids, or whether we can have the Second Amendment rights that our Constitution gave us, I mean, that is the wrong way to go, right? Do not cede sovereignty,” Romney said.
After likening the backlash to Todd Akin’s comments on “legitimate rape” to the Pharisees’ persecution of Jesus, American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer is now comparing Akin to a victim of rape. After listing the growing chorus of conservative activists and media personalities who have called on Akin to quit the senate race, Fischer lamented that “everybody is gang tackling Todd Akin.” “You talk about a forcible situation, you talk about somebody being a victim of forcible assault, that would be Todd Akin,” Fischer maintained.

The paranoia is astonishing (the whole UN thing, belief in a forthcoming confiscation of guns and inevitable guerilla war by true patriots against the government). I might have expected it when Obama first showed up, but after four years of a basically conservative presidency, you’d think people would calm down.
