Invoking God, Pawlenty tells CPAC crowd Minnesota is ‘the most liberal state’

Pawlenty: “Take a nine iron and smash a window out of big government.”

Or a small aircraft if you have one, right TIM?

Screw you Lazercat. We’re fighting back.

In the city yes, but not so much in the burbs.

If T-Paw thinks that MN is anywhere close to being the most liberal state in the nation, I think that shows something important about him. The man obviously doesn’t get out much! I already knew he was an idiot, but now I’m going to modify that to “provincial idiot.”

As a Minnesotan who have lived in Washington State and are now living in New York State, I will second Ellen’s comments by attesting that Minnesota is far from the “most liberal state” in the nation. Heck, a lot of New Yorkers are more polite than many Minnesotans I know – not to mention how so much more courteous the drivers in Washington State are. Sheesh!

This provincial blathering is rather embarrassing given the frenetic out-of-state and even out-of-country travel schedule is that this absentee governor continues to engage in. But then, this “folksy” man just couldn’t look up from his preening narcissism …

All Minnesotans, let’s plan to meet tomorrow at the Capital and put Tim’s plan into action.

Bring your 9 irons.

We can start with Tim’s office.

“God’s in charge. There are some people who say ‘Pawlenty, don’t bring that up. Its politically incorrect.’ Hogwash! …I say to those naysayers that try to crowd out God from the discussion, if it’s good enough for the founding fathers it’s good enough for us.”

Funny, isn’t it, how this god always agrees with whomever is invoking his/her/its name. How convenient to have the alleged author of the universe agreeing with you on specific policies, and the meaning of context dependent (time, space, culture, language, etc.) concepts like liberty or morality or whatever.

What happens when this god seems to be telling different things to different people? Does he really support assault rifle ownership or does he want to ban these weapons?

Has he always been a big supporter of a huge military budget, or would he like to see all armies disbanded?

Was his son a moral tyrant (not as benevolent as the Buddha and not as smart as Socrates, according to one writer) willing to condemn anyone to hell for the slightest infraction, or was he a gentle, loving, androgynous bisexual?

Do Jesus, his dad and their diaphanous spirit uncle hate social security and wish to privatize it?

Ah, a toast to the madness of the human race.

Nah, leave that 9 iron with the rest of your golf clubs at home!

I’d rather see a peaceful assembly/rally encouraging fair-minded legislators on both sides of the aisle to do what is right by all Minnesotans even if it means standing up to Pawlessly. They need to know that their constituents will be on their side if they do this.

Maybe Pawpaw should have waited. Elin didn’t leave Tiger for good. They chose to work on their marriage. Depriving the poor of health care is nothing to joke about. It means they’ll be using emergency rooms for treatment, and since many of them are indigent, taxpayers will pick up the tab. Emergency care is more expensive than receiving care through one’s personal physician. Obviously, Pawpaw and the CPACers haven’t considered this aspect of cutting the health care budget down to the gristle, or they simply don’t care. I’m endorsing the latter position.

Well, Pawlenty may be right on one thing – “Conversative” in Minnesota may mean that there are few here that like to be so extreme that we sound ridiculous, with a few examples from those who are – we take that as a lesson of how not to be, perhaps?

Liberal, what a dumb a– ,that’s why you vetoed pot for the sickest of the sickest,,,a real moron not a very liberal thing to do,you should come back to reality, no wonder you’re not running again for gov you would be humiliated just as u will be if u run for pres,i cant wait to see that

he better not run pawlenty/bachman doesnt have the same ring as palin/bachman

Most liberal? I don’t know. I do know I’m not willing to let conservatives run everything without a fight.

This was a telling exchange: Rather than deny Pawlenty was celebrating violent action, SmartDog endorses violence. While the Tea Party gathers steam with such sound bites, an increasing number of Americans recoil in revulsion, and with good reason. Like Stack, SmartDog doesn’t see such statements as a joke. He is moved to “smash glass”, “smash government” and smash innocent Americans as they show up for work.

Evoke the name of God on Sundays, at dinner, and before bed, but not while I am paying you as a government employee. There are too many problems to solve that need to be solved by mortals.
