excerpted
Anyone who has ever wondered what happened to that strange-looking, banjo-playing kid from “Deliverance” should check out Rep. Louie Gohmert. Imagine that kid all grown up and you’ll have the spitting image of the Texas Republican.
Like banjo boy, Gohmert is weirdly mesmerizing. What swamp did he wander out of and how in the world did he get elected to the United States House of Representatives? The scary answer: There are thousands of people just like him in Texas's 1st Congressional District.
It is time, he says, to “use whatever means,” including troops and ships of war, to stop an invasion that he compares to the D-day invasion of Normandy. The invaders? All those children who made their way from Central America, stepped across the border and put themselves in the hands of federal authorities.
They think they live in country where the president is a terrorist-coddling, Kenya-born socialist who wants to take their guns, close their churches, turn their kids into pagan homosexuals and open the borders to a horde of brown-skinned marauders who will all become loyal Democratic Party voters.
If things are really that bad, maybe it’s time for them to follow Mitt Romney’s advice and self-deport.
Xenophobia = irrational fear of furriners.
They’re really very artsy-looking people. I’m sure we could sit down and have tea with them.
Some others and I were wisecracking on a Sen. Blumenthal picture here:

My number five reply to that post: “Yea, he looks like a grown up banjo boy. More rope-a-dope (war on women) for the low info women prior to November elections.”
Does this look familiar, lol.
Looks like it. His thought processes (if he has them) are pretty simplistic. You can see his cartoon of Superman as an illegal immigrant child on the Times website (and a link to his e-mail is there as well -- not saying anybody should use it but he wasn't afraid to put it there as another poster said).
There ought to be some way of finding out if his word pieces are actually published in the paper or just put up on the website. I guess it matters less and less nowadays as the webpage may get more readers than the actual printed newspaper and the paper is responsible for all of their content, but it would be nice to think that editors still had some standards.
The Superman cartoon was in the worst taste possible. It’s not like all of Central and South America blew up after all. Now (within the context of the fictional planet), if Krypton were still “up there” and masses of Kryptonians were coming down from the sky to sponge off the welfare system of us Earthlings, you can bet that even liberals would not be welcoming our new super-powered overlords and would be looking for the nearest cache of kryptonite.
Only line of truth in the entire op ed.
True that.
The left went immediately to name calling. As usual.
It was the RINOs that attempted an argument before going to name calling.
Yeah, well, ya got me there.
WHat are they saying? I can’t seem to get the comments.
No. It would make you an iminal!
