Why must teabaglicans politicize EVERYTHING?
For example, I also post on an ex-mormon bulletin board (it's a long story; I converted in order to marry Mrs. Arbusto. I'm still married to her, but we're both no longer mormon. I still have to deal with some issues because of it, though.).

Naturally, Glenn Beck comes up a lot. The board rules there are "no politics". But the Beckbots ALWAYS start up by saying that he may be mormons, but we need to listen to him because he "knows the progressive agenda and how they want to harm the US).

THEY start it. EVERY time. Of course, I can't leave it alone when they do, and post to slap them down before the whole thread gets removed, but my point is....

Why must righties politicize EVERYTHING???

1. Just ask them why they hate America-- is it because they hate our freedoms? n/t

3. They are addicted to hate.
It's a constant compulsion.

4. They think politicizing it gives it more validity than merely religionizing it?
otherwise it is the same fundies saying the same stuff. "but no, it's not religion it's political" sort of thing.

Hadn't thought of it quite like that.

6. See if you can rattle them to the point where they soil their sacred garments.

7. No, you don't understand....
These are FORMER mormon right-wing idiots.

Yeah, imagine it: someone smart enough to get out of the mormon cult, but still dumb enough to buy into Beck's insanity....

9. I agree.
They bring up politics EVERYTIME! I was reading an article about a couple that found each other after being apart for years and they were speaking about it. This idiot in the comment section writes "they better enjoy life now because soon we will live in a socialist country because of the idiot in office." I have many more examples of this crap.
