Simply unbelievable - yet in today's GreedOverPrinciples party, what with Birthers and Deathers and TeaBaggers crowding underneath The Small Tent ("RINO's and other Non-True Believers NOT Allowed!"), it actually is true. Allen Quist actually said it. As disgusting as it is, it's still worth a watch:
Did you catch that?
"Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom... Terrorism? Yes. That's not the big battle. The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren't liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country." - Allen Quist, 07 Dec 2009
Sergeant Major (Ret.) Walz's service to his country apparently means nothing to Allen Quist, one of the Republicans lining up to challenge Walz in this year's mid-term election. Here is a video of Quist, who has never worn the uniform of his country, telling you that this brave American is a "radical", is more dangerous than a terrorist and is out to destroy the country he served for 24 years (if you'd like, skip to the 3:12 mark).
Allen Quist, a politician who has been chasing office since 1982, should be ashamed of himself. A year before Quist began his desperate attempt to become a career politician, the man who's patriotism he attacks put on an Army uniform at the age of 17 and wore it for 24 years, rising to the highest enlisted rank and becoming the highest ranking enlisted soldier in southern Minnesota. A man who has so little respect for the service of America's Veterans has no business serving in Congress. (VetVoice.com)
Indeed, Richard - indeed.
And it's simply pathetic what today's GreedOverPrinciples party has morphed to: "Birthers and Deathers and TeaBaggers"
Well, for now. God only knows what those (cheney)in' nutjobs will come up with/stoop down to next.
