Georgia GOPers hold meeting over Obama mind-control conspiracy

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Again, where are the supposedly moderate, reasonable Republicans to denounce this tinfoil hat conspiracy idiocy?

The GOP of 2012 has become some weird, insane cocktail of Alex Jones-ers, Birchers, Coast to Coast AM-ers, Dale Gribble and that 'sanctity of our bodily fluids' guy from Dr Strangelove:

Georgia state Senators held a meeting last month to discuss Agenda 21, a supposed UN conspiracy to deny private property rights, which Obama will help accomplish through a mind-control technique known as Delphi.

The meeting was to discuss Agenda 21, a nonbinding UN agreement aimed at promoting sustainable development. It is also the target of conservatives who believe that it is part of a conspiracy to forcibly move suburbanites to cities.

Jim Galloway of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on the meeting, which was called by the Republican Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, took place at the Capitol and was led by a former member of the Georgia Tea Party (who was forced out because of various conspiracy theories, including birtherism), Field Searcy. A 90-minute screening of the documentary Agenda: Grinding America Down was also shown, as was a video from conservative pundit Dick Morris, who warns of Obama’s “War on Suburbs” and plan to relocate everyone to urban areas.

In the video, Searcy calls Agenda 21 a “conspiracy to transform America from the land of the free, to the land of the collective,” and says that “our own governments are doing this. Our own local city councils and county commissions – they’re doing this.”

This all reminds me of those lunatic militia guys Robert Snow used to write about in the early 90s, who believed that a secret plan by the UN to invade the U.S. was depicted on a kids' map on a 1993 Kix cereal box.

No, seriously - the religious right actually was dumb enough to believe that in the Clinton years:

3. Nearly half of this country is clinically insane

The paranoia and the conspiracies. Employers using an election as excuses to fire people while spending equivalent amounts of money on a failed election bid.

Groups trying to secede from the union as if they could. Others with veiled promises that they are going to leave the country.

The delusions they have are most likely caused by the mind altering experience called FOX.

It would be funny, but the state of mind of some of these people is dangerous because we don't know when one of the loonies will take things to an extreme level.

Use caution when dealing with these people who have been afflicted with FOX Syndrome.

4. You hit the nail on the head -

unfortunately, they don't seem to be making any progress in figuring where they went/are going wrong.

They think their little tirades (secession, rich people dumping stock, owners selling their companies, etc., is going to make Obama say, ok, I'm sorry, Romney can have the presidency, you win.

They're that dumb. They still see Faux News as their only true source of news.
