First Al-Queda, Now...

...Al-NAMBLA? (which refers to this) driftglass explains:

Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking: Who was the pervert that solicited sex from this page? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated Republican organizations known as al NAMBLA. They are the same Republicans who stood by the Rotting Corpse of Tom DeLay; the same Republicans who stood by while Jack Abramoff looted and perverted the American government.

Al NAMBLA is to Republican Powerbrokering what the mafia is to crime. But its goal is not merely making money; its goal is remaking the world -- and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere.

Al NAMBLA practices a fringe form of Biblical extremism that has been rejected by Christian scholars and the vast majority of Christian ministers and pastors -- a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Jesus. The Al NAMBLA directive commands them to impute the courage, morality, constancy and integrity of all non-Fundamentalist Republican, and makes no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children.

Leaving aside the viciousness (although why would you want to do that?), the Republican Party is not headed and controlled by good people who simply have a different perspective on things. It is controlled by extremely bad and toxic people--hell, you might even want to call them evil. No, the Democrats are not saints by any stretch of the imagination, but the Republicans have morally jumped the shark. These Republicans will never relinquish power out of shame, or even the occasional pang of conscience. And don't bring up the Republican fig-leaf 'moderates.' They have no real power, they are incapable of taking back their party, and most importantly, they are too seduced by power to consider taking back their party.

It's Al-NAMBLA all-the-time.
