Louie Gohmert's Slippery Slope to Forcing Churches to Hire Cross-Dressing, Satan-Worshiping, Animal Rapers

Louie Gohmert is a Congressman!
No, really!

According to Louis Gohmert, once you draw a line on the number of rounds a magazine can hold, nothing's stopping the government from forcing churches to hire cross-dressing, Satan-worshiping animal rapers.

No, really.

In fact, I had this discussion with some wonderful, caring Democrats earlier this week on the issue of, well, they said "surely you could agree to limit the number of rounds in a magazine, couldn't you? How would that be problematic?"

[...] 

And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? What's wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it's kind of like marriage when you say it's not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?

71.7% of TX-1's voters sent Gohmert to Congress.

My favorite bit is "wonderful, caring, Democrats." This is Louie doing his best to speak nicely of the people he hates, the people he thinks are going to lead us all to forced bestiality. Maybe as he starts to flap his gums, some little recess of his brain tells him he should love the sinners, but as he gets his mouth warmed up, the connection with that part of his brain short circuits, the gate opens, and away they go.

And as his disjointed thoughts race down the home stretch, they inevitably latch on to "Obamacare" which, of course, is going to force people to abandon their religious beliefs.

No, really.

You need to educate yourselves on the issues. You need to understand that when there is a law being pushed, as it has for several years, that says that religious institutions should not be exempt from discrimination laws, that it is going to devastate the church, the synagogue, the places of worship that hire people because ultimately they're saying you have to hire whatever Satan-worshiper, whatever cross-dresser you think might be immoral, that's against your religious belief.  You are going to be forced to abandon your religious beliefs, and we've been seeing that with some of the requirements under Obamacare.

Your Church will be forced to hire this man! Via Wonkette.

It's hard to get a handle on just how nuts Louie Gohmert is, so it's best to use a comparison. KTW posted on Rep. Don Young's recent revival of Operation Wetback. Young's wingnutty enough to get his own post here, but even Young couldn't help but laugh at the lunacy that 71.7% of TX-1 voters thought was an accurate representation of their interests in congress (note, that this suggests some of those voters are actually crazier than Louie Gohmert).

During a meeting of the House Natural Resources committee Gohmert said that the warmth created as oil makes its way through the pipeline gets caribou ready for some hot and heavy behavior in the region. 

According to Gohmert: 

“So when they want to go on a date, they invite each other to head over to the pipeline. So my real concern now … if oil stops running through the pipeline … do we need a study to see how adversely the caribou would be affected if that warm oil ever quit flowing?” 

The Washington Post calls the representatives call for action a “faux concern” and it apparently led fellow GOP Rep. Don Young of Alaska stifling his own laughter while stating: 

“I’m not sure it’s warmth of the pipeline.”

The fact that Young said he's "not sure" tells you how crazy Don Young is, and yet even he couldn't deal with the east Texas hot sauce of hilarity that is Louie Gohmert.
