Right wing starts making switch from "We're about freedom" to "People need to be controlled"

[ck4829]

They haven't even won any election yet, and yet here they are starting to switch from "All we want is freedom from the big bad government and no taxes" to "Let's monitor gays, Muslims, liberals and while we're at it let's put tracking devices in women's reproductive systems."

We've got some homophobes out in Iowa:
"Gay marriage is tearing society asunder, and the decision to allow it runs afoul of the Constitution, said Chuck Hurley, president of the highly influential Christian organization Iowa Family Policy Center, which is a local affiliate of the Family Research Council.

Hurley goes further than opposition to gay marriage, though.

“For millennia every sane culture has had restraints on behavior,” Hurley said.

Stable societies have always had restraints on incest and pedophilia (CK: yeah, because there's usually no consent involved, maybe that's why), he said, and that should extend to homosexual acts as well.

“Every culture should have safe and sane laws regarding sexuality,” Hurley said."

And then we've got Jim DeMint saying that schools should fire gays and unmarried women.

Joe Miller:
He's OK when the big bad federal government might "intrude upon an individual's decision as to what he or she does," when it comes to TEH GAY.

Rand "Eww, germs!" Paul:
He wants to scrap the Patient's Bill of Rights and get back to a "market-oriented approach" and get all the sick people out of the system.
(CK: You think I'm joking?)
"If you give perverse incentives to customers to say, 'Why buy insurance?' then what happens is healthy people drop out, and the system becomes more burdened with sick people. It's really destroying a marketplace."

Let's make sure all these dreams of control stay just that, yes?

2. At least they're finally being honest about what their ideology has been for the last generations

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. Republicans have long wanted to control people

A lot of gun control rules came from Republicans (e.g. Brady)

Republicans have been anti-choice for decades.

I'm just so glad they know what's best for me, and are looking after my best interests.

:hi:

4. “Every culture should have safe and sane laws regarding sexuality,

So incest and Pedophilia are part of "Sexuality"? Rape is part of Sexuality? Uh... no. Incest, rape, pedophilia would fall under the VIOLENCE category you asshole.

The only laws we need to add right now are the ones that deal with absolute STUPIDITY.

5. If anyone thinks this rightwing fever will "break" without some sort of civil war

I'd sure be curious to hear how...

[FiveGoodMen]

6. Me, too!

:scared:

7. I firmly believe,

and have stated many times here on DU, that another Civil War is enevitable, only this time it will be Right vs Left.

[Drale]

9. There will be no civil war

people are arrogant and self centered as the right can only lose in one way. They will destroy themselves with infighting and backstabbing. We are already starting to see it in the tea baggers, and it will soon spread to the rest of the republicans. It has happened before and it will happen again.

[villager]

10. you mean, they'll have their own civil war first?

:shrug:

8. Have they started handing out the brown shirts yet?

[krabigirl]

11. of course. there is nothing at all "libertarian" about these teabaggers.

Ok, except for the financial stuff. But they are 100% pro-war, theocracy, the police state, and so on.
