It might be the pissy mood I’m in today (my upcoming move is testing my patience) but my tolerance level for ignorance is at a low. Came across this quote from Joe the Plumber and it really ticked me off.
“I’m here for one reason and one reason only: It’s ‘I love America,’” Wurzelbacher told the crowd. “Mainstream media wants to paint us as a bunch of extremists, right? We’re in search of liberty and our freedoms. What’s so extreme about that?” [...]
“Let me give you another extremist view, ‘In God We Trust,’” he said to wild applause. “Say that too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot. It’s terrible.” “‘In God We Trust’ … too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot.”
Tell us Joe, you stupid little weasel, in what part of America will you be shot for saying “In God We Trust”? What is this nonsense where liberty and freedoms are exclusively conservative values? And the “mainstream media” is not painting conservatives as a whole as extremists. It is (are you listening Joe?) painting EXTREMISTS as extremists.
Seriously, the Joes and Bachmanns and Limbaughs are a tiresome bunch who are damaging the conservative and Republican causes more than their little minds can ever understand.

But really, who is it that actually gets shot in our society? If you legally perform abortions? Yes, you get shot. If you work in a museum that commemorates the Holocaust? Yes, you get shot. If you are gay? Yes you get beaten up or even shot. If you don’t speak English, if you are not a Christian, ….it’s discrimination and they continue to turn it against us. The Joes and his friends strategy is, if you repeat it often enough, it’s true. So, Joe and his buds will continue to push the idiocy that if you are not a card carrying republican, then you cannot possibly trust in God and you would shoot anyone who does.
I agree with you Mario. Show me one time where someone in the USA was shot for saying in God we trust. The USA does not benefit from statements like his. We have big issues to deal with and statements that are meantonly to inflame people does not help.
My God, when will his 15 minutes be up?
