Frankenstein mad. Very mad.

Liberals are used to hearing this sort of thing from conservatives. They regularly wish us to burn in hell. But this invocation at a Mississippi Tea Party event must be a little bit startling to someone like Haley Barbour:
"We ask for your blessing upon the conservatives in this state, that they might stand strong and firm. Father, we even ask for you to bless our enemies, and Lord they are truly our enemies that head the Republican Party and the whole political establishment.
We’re asking, Father, for two things. We’re asking, Father, that you would expose them, set division amongst them, set them one against another, bring confusion and fear into their camp, into their thinking, for the purpose of pulling them down, for casting them down out of their high offices and reducing them, Lord, to having no power in this state. So, Lord, that you might raise up and seek the righteous in the positions of power that this state might once more be a state that honors you in all that it does.
Father, we’re asking that in all of the tribulations were asking you to bring upon them, that it would work change in their heart — that you would use it to bring true Godly sorrow, that they might truly repent for their iniquity and their wickedness, for that they would be restored to you, that you would have honor in the state of Mississippi for the great works that you’ve done in correcting and purifying the government and rescuing and saving the worst of us."
Welcome to our world, bubba.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: they created this monster and now they've lost control of it.
The funny thing is that these guys really do scare the power brokers of the GOP. It's not because they're so all powerful. It's because they know intimately just how angry and crazy they really are --- after all, they've been nurturing it for decades. They are understandably nervous about that energetic lunacy being turned on them.
