A pulsating black hole of stupidity threatened to suck St. Louis into its gaping maw last weekend. While Missouri residents narrowly escaped certain death by dumbness when the How to Take Back America conference convened at the Hilton, conference attendees happily wallowed in the muck of ignorant vitriol and conspiracy theories spewed by a panoply of Eagle Forum "speakers", including Zombie Phyllis Schlafly, Michele "I {Kissed} Killed a Census Worker" Bachmann, and Steve "Idiot" King (R-IA).
It's not entirely clear what the purpose of this convention was other than to kick off the new season of gay-bashing, Obama-bashing, health care reform-bashing, feminist-bashing and illegal immigrant-bashing. Y'know - just another day at the office for the conservative howler monkeys.Other speakers at the conservative feeding frenzy included General William Boykin, who appears to be a one-trick pony at this point:
"You need to ask yourself, 'What price am I willing to pay?," Boykin told the audience. "What are you prepared to give up for America? Are you willing to pay the ultimate price?"
Boykin warned that "there is
no greater threat to America than Islam" and asked patriotic Americans to get educated, get involved and pray.
“What would you suggest we do,” asked one activist, “if we are asked to give up our guns?”
“Don’t you dare give up your guns!” thundered Werthmann. “Never, never, never!”
“Give them back one bullet at a time!” called out another activist. The tense atmosphere melted a little bit; the room broke up with laughter.
