NCGOP’s Hoffman invitation is Stupid Thing of the Week
November 6th, 2009 by John Grooms in Boomer with an Attitude
Welcome to the Stupid Thing of the Week. North Carolina Republican Party chair Tom “I’m not gay, dammit!” Fetzer is throwing his party’s support behind the Palin/Beck faction and its move to purge the GOP of “moderates.” In a move that is leaving some political observers gasping or scratching their heads, Fetzer has invited New York Conservative Party congressional candidate Doug “Mr. Excitement” Hoffman to speak at the Republican Party’s Hall of Fame Dinner on Nov. 21 in Raleigh. Hoffman was endorsed by various Republican bigwigs – Palin, Pawlenty, Perry – over the GOP’s own candidate, Dede Scozzafava, who just wasn’t Neolithic enough for the new, improved, and increasingly nutzoid party.
Hoffman — who doesn’t even live in the New York congressional district in which he ran — of course lost the race, giving that congressional seat to Democrats for the first time since the Civil War. That’s success enough for Fetzer, though, who said Hoffman’s candidacy – against a Republican, remember – “inspired conservatives across the country . . . he will reach out to North Carolina conservatives to help us reclaim our government.” Well, good luck with that, Tom. Encouraging disarray in your own party is certainly one way to be remembered. By the way, here’s the kind of oratorical excitement you can expect from Hoffman if you head to Raleigh for his speech:

Grooms is calling most of America crazy in this article. He is just too dim to know it! People that use common sense and logic are now crazy. You just cannot make this stuff up.

When a conservative says they want to reclaim the country that means:
–they want to kill as many foreigners as possible
–intall a police state HERE asap.
so whenever you see conservatives striving for power, reach for your guns.

and the same with liberals — buy guns and learn how to use ‘em fast!

Sounds kinda crazy there LukeNC. Republicans want responsible immigration. The liberal media many make you think conservatives want to kill them but you couldnt be farther from the truth. 88% of republicans want illegal immigration to stop and 75% of democrats want illegal immigration to stop. It sounds like we are united on this. The Democrats are just trying to ignore what their constituents really want.
I the only party calling for a police state in recent memory has been Obama. Republicans just want individuals to be able to carry guns if they desire. The do not advocate a police state. They actually want the opposite.
Any party in power needs to be treated with skepticism to keep them from getting out of line. This is where the main stream media has completely dropped the ball.

the way things are going, we’re going to have a police state sooner rather than later.
Since most conservatives and liberals only want control of that consolidated federal power (e.g. Hoffman, Palin, etc. ) in order to further their expansive agenda rather than de-centralization, it doesnt matter who takes office next time around — we’re that much closer to a police state.
In many areas of the country it’s already happening.
I just call ‘em like I see ‘em.
Buy arms and learn how to use ‘em before its too late!
