Reich Wing identify a grave threat to the American heartland

This was epitomized by a session at the conference run by Geoff Botkin of the Western Conservatory of the Arts and Sciences, about the perennial right-wing belief that civilization is on the verge of collapse. Botkin relied heavily on the Disney movie Frozen as evidence that modern America is in the thrall of Satan. Yes, that cute little children’s movie, which has gotten its fair share of right-wing stink-eye for having themes of female empowerment and independence, epitomized by the song “Let It Go.” Brian Tashman of Right Wing Watch reports:

He likened “Let It Go” to Eve’s temptation by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, deriding the song as “Satan’s rebellion anthem” that corrupts children.

The popularity of the song and its “spirit of licentiousness” shows that people don’t want to follow the totality of the Bible, he said, warning that God “will chasten our nation” as a result of the movie’s popularity.

Benghazi, Ebola, and now, Let It Go. Now that i know it drives rethugs crazy, whenever I find a crowd watching Faux News, say the airport, the aforementioned song will be my new ring tone.
