The hawks in the GOP are truly scared. Freaky scary stupid statements like this and the ones most recently from Huckabee do not help stability in the world. But I’m reading something else in here: Why give a damn about how badly the Democratic Party might be hurt by any possible agreement? – I would you guys would jump for joy if this was so bad for the Democrats in the long term. What’s up, Louie? You and many like you are scared these worldwide negotiations will work and prove to be a stepping stone to achieving some actual stability over there? – Bad for the Military Industrial Complex, right?

I think it’s time for the Department of Homeland Security to put Gohmert in prison for issuing terroristic threats.

But, I guess he is too white and too Republican for basic rule of law to apply.

One can only hope his face has a sudden, repeatedly percussive encounter with a baseball bat.

Let’s do the same thing to Louie’s office!
Using the form below, fill it out by using 75702 as your ZIP code and 903-561-6349 as your phone number. If you use another ZIP code or telephone number it won’t be received. The email system only recognizes his districts ZIP Code and local numbers. The telephone number is the number of his local office!

Goobert is headquartered in my home town in East Texas, and most of my relatives there love him.

I only go back for funerals.

Well there, a republican finally said it out loud. That was the sole mission of Netanyahu’s speech before congress this month, it was nothing more than a call to war. And the republicans gave him a standing ovation. Politicians may be talking in code in public about their intentions are but Gohmert just spoke the truth out loud. Make no mistake if a republican is elected president in 2016, we will be in another ground war before the end of 2017.

The “Stupidest Man in Congress” says “it’s time to bomb Iran”.
More proof that the Republican Party is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the “Sheldon Adelson Chinese-Casino Empire.”
Weep for America.

Iran’s population is 3 times the size of Iraq, the country is much larger, the terrain is more difficult to navigate, and we have an even thinner moral justification for military action than we did with Iraq. Then again it’s not like they bothered to think about this stuff back in 2002, either.

You know if I was Iran shit like this would be a big part of why I would want the bomb. As a sort of last resort piece of insurance against the possibility of the most powerful military in the world being in the hands of lunatic idiots like Gomer Pyle here.

While I’ve got nothing against Nacogdoches TX-- it’s a decent little town-- I’m thinking we start the bombing there.
You know-- just so’s those folks understand just who and what they voted for?

We have to remember the new equation: Republican = Likud

Netanyahu just pulled off a big win with these same over the top attacks so it is likely that we’ll be seeing a lot of his fellow Replikuds following along

Exactly what I was going to say.

The official ‘House Howler Monkey’ and other congressional Republicans and conservative pundits are fond of criticizing the Obama Administration’s foreign policy for being “too diplomatic”, as well as for not touting America’s “exceptionalism” and reminding all other nations of their inherent inferiority on a daily basis.

Perhaps these pompous, self-righteous politicos don’t really know what diplomacy means:
1 : the art and practice of conducting negotiations between nations
2 : skill in handling affairs without arousing hostility : tact

Threatening to bomb or invade a sovereign foreign power is NOT diplomacy, despite what these right wing war-mongers believe.
