My lady bits just can't muster the outrage required to take seriously the rhetorical styling of a 100-year-old game show host who couldn't answer a Jeopardy question if someone didn't write it on a cue card for him:) Have you noticed? Call me when he runs for office on the teabag circuit, THEN I'll have something to say about it.

People for the American Way Report: " The Persecution Complex: The Religious Right’s Deceptive Rallying Cry" "The tales of horror keep pouring in: Two middle school girls are forced into a lesbian kiss as part of an anti-bullying program; an Air Force sergeant is fired because he opposes same-sex marriage; a high school track team is disqualified from a meet after an athlete thanks God for the team’s victory; a Veterans Affairs hospital bans Christmas cards with religious messages; a man fixing the lights in a Christmas tree falls victim to a wave of War-on-Christmas violence; an elementary school student is punished for praying over his school lunch; a little boy is forced to take a psychological evaluation after drawing a picture of Jesus. None of these stories is true. But each has become a stock tale for Religious Right broadcasters, activists, and in some cases elected officials. These myths – which are becoming ever more pervasive in the right-wing media – serve to bolster a larger story, that of a majority religious group in American society becoming a persecuted minority, driven underground in its own country. This narrative has become an important rallying cry for a movement that has found itself on the losing side of many of the so-called “culture wars.” By reframing political losses as religious oppression, the Right has attempted to build a justification for turning back advances in gay rights, reproductive rights and religious liberty for minority faiths."

Chalk it up to "The Right’s Fake Persecution Complex" (a few similar examples) http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2014/06/18... Because: "IndocrtiNation - Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America" "Sadly, most American Christian children are being discipled daily by pro-choice secularists, atheists, evolutionists, politicized bureaucrats, far left unions and oftentimes even child molesters. Under the guise of education the publicly funded monopoly of Government schools has engaged in a vast program of social engineering designed to eradicate the Christian faith from American life." https://www.youtube.com/user/IndoctriNationMovie Meet the Christian Right/libertarian "Alliance for the Separation of School and State": http://www.schoolandstate.org/proclamation.htm Lesson: Wingnuts do nothing without an end game in mind.

“All of these communists that have wormed their way into power, into powerful positions, they began to influence other people to pursue this objective of a big, indivisible government, and government supplants God as being sovereign.” It's called Dominion Theology: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/dominionism...

It's called a "stealth" campaign. It's how Tea Party religious fundamentalist candidates have been getting themselves elected by the ark full since 2010. It's also not a new tactic. The idea is to stay under the media radar when possible, prevaricate when not. 1993: "Christian Right Poses Serious Threat in Local Elections" "The “stealth” candidates of the Christian religious right who have been winning local political races around the country pose a serious threat to Jewish interests, Jewish community activists say. And the success of these candidates has created new challenges for the organized Jewish community. Organized nationally and regionally in groups with innocuous-sounding names like CARE–Citizens Advocating Responsible Education — and CEE — Citizens for Excellence in Education — these candidates have been running successfully for seats on school boards, local Republican committees, water commissions and real estate zoning boards... These “stealth” candidates earned their moniker because individuals running for office cloak their affiliation with the Christian organizations until they are safely in office. “They bury their stealth message beneath honeyed words,” said Maxine Cohen, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council in San Antonio, Texas." http://www.jta.org/1993/02/26/archive/christian-r... All the way up to Congress and the Presidency (Palin, Santorum, Perry, Bachmann, Ron Paul, Ran Paul...) Video of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul at religious right pulpit electioneering pastor conference discussing abortion, "Godly" government and government shutdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q3fyBC4HFo How the Religious Right took control of the Republican Party - 2005 Conference sponsored by NY Open Center & CUNY Graduate Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVDbFyDm-Ig If that doesn't convince anyone, take for example the 2014 Texas Republican Party Platform and multiply that by the number of Tea Party controlled states: Excerpts/embedded link: http://freethoughtblogs.com/aronra/2012/06/28/exc... There are NO Tea party candidates running in 2014 who are not of the religious right - the agenda is also more than simply social in nature (Koch/Libertarian via ALEC): http://theocracywatch.org/rr_economics.htm Frankly, I'm amazed the guy actually asked her about sex ed and teaching creationism as normally interviewers and reporters display no such presence of mind.

Guessing the GOP's "Impeach Obama" thing is going over as well with John Q. Public as the GOP's "Shut Down the Government for Freedom" thing. You know they belatedly begin realizing their batshit crazy stunts are backfiring when they start blaming their batshit crazy on "Obama made us do it."

"that they claimed was an actual aborted fetus" Then they need to answer to the authorities the following which will require an official investigation: from where did they obtain this actual aborted fetus as there are undoubtedly strict laws against using actual aborted fetuses as street theatre props.

" Alliance Defending Freedom — “a servant ministry building an alliance to keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel by transforming the legal system and advocating for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.” Have we caught on to the strategy yet? Wingnut nurse isn't so much a nurse as a Trojan Horse rolled into the women's health clinic lobby by the Christian Taliban.
