....when Obama and him were at some beltway breakfast together.

Ol goober Gohmert was all smitten and giddy in Obama's presence. This guy is a pure clown show. Whatever he is doing at any particular moment is nothing but really shitty performance "art".

3. I am waiting for someone like Gohmert to someday try and legislate a State religion.

That would be a logical next step. Yes the shark has beached himself on the sand with Louie.

about this yesterday and was beyond disgusted with Gohmert's line of questioning - I almost punched my computer screen when he demanded to know if Lynn "believed in preaching the Good News". What a piece of crap Gohmert is.

but,you aren't. Of course, the religion he wants to enact into law is whatever version of funds-ism he personally adheres to and he wants to be,the Grand Inquisitor as well. I rarely devolve into,crudités in my posts, but I,sometimes wonder if the only way,some of these fundies can even hope to sustain an erection long enough to achieve coitius is by imagining all the torture and questionpain they would like to inflict on Americans who don't believe exactly the same way they do.

7. It's all Gohmert knows though

He is a 'true believer' in this line of thought. And I think - it might literally be all he knows. His entire world view and approach to life - let alone legislation is steeped in this 'Crusade'.

The thing is - they were empowered by Bush 2 with Iraq and Afghanistan. That gave them a basis to inflict pain and sadistic beliefs on other people - other Americans who do not lock step and goose step with them.

Shouldn't you at least know the religion you want forced upon everyone else?
