After Arizona Shooting, Republicans Stress Need for Mental Health Services

Straight from the cover of DUUUHHH!!! Magazine — the Tucson Massacre might have been prevented if Jared Loughner had had access to mental health facilities. No, you aren’t hallucinating. Two Republicans have actually said this.

Well HELLLOO and welcome back to Earth after your 30-year coma. Since 1980, Republicans have been systematically dismantling every aspect of America’s safety net, including mental health facilities. Let’s save a few dollars by closing all these mental hospitals and dumping patients onto the street. This will free them from the tyranny of the nanny state, they’ll pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and someday they’ll thank us.

And now, a few Republicans are just horrified that — gasp! — mentally ill people are roaming the streets, and sometimes they get violent. Who knew??!?!?!?

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) said:

“What will solve this problem is removing the politics from it and getting after the crux of this problem and that is somebody who needed mental health services and or legal intervention much earlier in his cycle toward violence. What we have to do is intervene earlier in that cycle of violence when they have this kind of mental disability.”

Allen West (R—Florida) said:

“The shooter was a very disturbed individual and it appears there were so many warning signs that he was going to do something horrible. We should be focusing on the mental health crisis in our country, not politics.”

Focusing on mental health?? But how can we invade other countries and keep feeding the Prison Industrial Complex if we have to spend taxpayers' hard-earned money coddling a bunch of parasites who won’t work?

America’s Founding Father is turning in his grave.

Newest Code Word for Leftwing America-Haters: “CO-EXIST"

Oh, those anti-American terrorist-appeasers are a clever lot. Those pussies don’t have the balls to come out and say they hate America and everything she stands for. No, they have to hide behind a bunch of innocent-sounding code words while they quietly destroy America from within.

Their newest evil scheme: a bumper sticker that spells out the word Coexist. Yes, you noticed it too — the word isn’t spelled out in letters; it’s spelled with a bunch of Pagan new age symbols of OTHER religions!

On no you don’t, you globalist commie one-world bastards!

Fortunately, a Florida teabagger has warned Americans of the dangers of this seemingly innocent bumper sticker. Allen West, running for Congress in Florida’s 22nd District, said:

“As I was driving up here today, I saw that bumper sticker that absolutely incenses me. It’s not the Obama bumper sticker. But it’s the bumper sticker that says, ‘Co-exist.’ And it has all the little religious symbols on it. And the reason why I get upset, and every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are. The liberties that we want to enjoy.”

Them swarthy furrin son-of-a-bitches! Run ‘em off the road!

And that’s not all. Allen West also warned us that Islam is “a very vile and very vicious enemy that we have allowed to come in this country because we ride around with bumper stickers that say co-exist.”

And:

“We already have a 5th column that is already infiltrating into our colleges, into our universities, into our high schools, into our religious aspect, our cultural aspect, our financial, our political systems in this country. And that enemy represents something called Islam and Islam is a totalitarian theocratic political ideology, it is not a religion. It has not been a religion since 622 AD, and we need to have individuals that stand up and say that.”

Ah, the old Fifth Column. Be Very Afraid.
