Could it be...Satan?

Stephen Colbert covered this one last night, and his plan to combat it with Lou Dobbs and holy water was hysterical, but I just had to share the actual article with you. Yes, the GOP has now become Very Silly Party. The last train to Sanityville has left the station:
Convention ends with Satan and immigrants
Utah County Republicans ended their convention on Saturday by debating Satan's influence on illegal immigrants.
The group was unable to take official action because not enough members stuck around long enough to vote, despite the pleadings of party officials. The convention was held at Canyon View Junior High School.
Don Larsen, chairman of legislative District 65 for the Utah County Republican Party, had submitted a resolution warning that Satan's minions want to eliminate national borders and do away with sovereignty.
In a speech at the convention, Larsen told those gathered that illegal immigrants "hate American people" and "are determined to destroy this country, and there is nothing they won't do."
Illegal aliens are in control of the media, and working in tandem with Democrats, are trying to "destroy Christian America" and replace it with "a godless new world order -- and that is not extremism, that is fact," Larsen said. [Editor's note: Do you suppose by "godless new world order" he's referring to the neo-pagan conspiracy to take over the world and fill it with gay bathhouses and clone farms? If not I'm going to be so disappointed.]
At the end of his speech, Larsen began to cry, saying illegal immigrants were trying to bring about the destruction of the U.S. "by self invasion." [Editor's note: I would pay good money to see the video of this. SWEAR. TO. GOD.]
Republican officials then allowed speakers to defend and refute the resolution. One speaker, who was identified as "Joe," said illegal immigrants were Marxist and under the influence of the devil. Another, who declined to give her name to the Daily Herald, said illegal immigrants should not be allowed because "they are not going to become Republicans and stop flying the flag upside down. ... If they want to be Americans, they should learn to speak English and fly their flag like we do."
[...]
Larsen was allowed to finish the debate with a one-minute speech.
"If the Democrats take over the country, we will be dead, and we will have abortion and partial-birth abortion and the Republican Party will go into extinction," he said. "Nancy Pelosi and the ACLU would oppose this (resolution)."

Date: 2007-05-02 07:03 pm (UTC)If Democrats take over the country (like, I'm guessing, they did in 1993) every single Republican will sudden have his crystal flash red and black and have to report to Carousel (like, I'm guessing, they did in 1993), where they will be forced to have man-on-box-turtle sex and then have an abortion before being executed live on HBO.
And you don't want that, do you?
PS: Yes, the ACLU would oppose this resolution. Because they still have two collective brain cells.

Anyway, I can totally understand the concern if a) you're a devout LDS and b) you make the assumotion that an author has legitimacy by dint of the fact that he, too, is a devout LDS.

Somehow I think a lot of Christian Americans would be disturbed to hear that this guy is claiming to represent all of them. Also, most of the immigrated folks I know are from Mexico or Latin America, and are, well, strongly Catholic. Hmmm.

Date: 2007-05-02 11:23 pm (UTC)Just when I thought these people could not get any crazier they impress me once again with a whole new level of insanity. I just can't quite wrap my mind around the concept of believing this whacked-out crap.
Illegal aliens control our media? Would that be Fox News or CNN or Rush's radio show?
Fucking unbelievable!
