Are there any grownups left in the Republican party? Somebody has to rein in their lunatics.
"The people who have been speaking out on this, like Tom DeLay and Senator Cornyn, need to be backed up," Schlafly said to applause yesterday. One worker at the event wore a sticker declaring "Hooray for DeLay."The conference was organized during the height of the Schiavo controversy by a new group, the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration. This was no collection of fringe characters. The two-day program listed two House members; aides to two senators; representatives from the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America; conservative activists Alan Keyes and Morton C. Blackwell; the lawyer for Terri Schiavo's parents; Alabama's "Ten Commandments" judge, Roy Moore; and DeLay, who canceled to attend the pope's funeral.
The Schlafly session's moderator, Richard Lessner of the American Conservative Union, opened the discussion by decrying a "radical secularist relativist judiciary." It turned more harsh from there.
There's lots more. If you feel like bathing after reading it, I don't blame you. These people are so far round the bend they're in danger of meeting themselves on the other side. Justice Kennedy should be impeached because he voted against executing juveniles? What sort of "Christian" behavior is it that advocates killing kids?

The bad kind?
To be fair, though, G-D does occassionally tell his people to kill their children just for shits and grins.
