The Republican party of Texas is ready to choose a bumper sticker slogan, and out of over a thousand entries, you would have thought they'd come up with something wittier than:
Obama for Change? That's all you'll have left in your pockets!
Insert idiot laugh here -- I don't know how to represent it phonetically -- "yuck yuck yuck" perhaps?

Another nonsensical entry:
High gas prices? Thank a Democrat this November
I don't quite get the logic of that one. They are blaming Democrats who might be elected this FALL for high gasoline prices NOW? I hate to say, "WTF?!" but this one just leaves me speechless.
There is another article at the above link regarding a "Rediscovering God in America" conference for pastors to be held early next week in Denver. Texas Governor Rick Perry will be participating along with Mike Huckabee and that manufacturer of quotes which "prove" America was founded as a Christian Nation, David Barton.

FROM THE DESK OF GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE
Dear Pastor,
America and our Judeo Christian heritage is under attack by a force that is more destructive than any threat America has faced since Adolph Hitler in 1934. Defeating the radical jihadists will require renewed resolve and spiritual rearmament by the evangelical pastors in America.
Rediscovering God in America’s goal is to ignite people of faith to again engage the culture and bring America back to our standing around the world as a Beacon of Hope and a Shining City on a Hill.
Because God has entrusted you to care for His flock, you are a critical component to reclaiming the centrality of God in American life and confronting the evil that faces us now.
At a time when Congress is busy trying to legislate defeat in Iraq, we are inviting you to a Pastors’ Policy Briefing that will help you engage the battle, to walk point. Today, with our troops facing danger abroad and our nation looking for guidance here at home, America’s need is to rearm spiritually through the leadership of her Pastors.
Rediscovering God in America-Denver, CO is to remind and encourage us that the proper position for America when facing evil and confronting enemies is not to find excuses for defeat but to find the resources, the courage, and the strength from God necessary to win.
I look forward to seeing you in Denver.
I had no idea that Congress was "busy trying to legislate defeat in Iraq," were you?
One of the sponsors of this conference is the Colorado Renewal Project (I thought, "It must be some sort of water improvement program," but apparently not:

According to their website:
If the radical homosexual lobby gets their way, traditional families will be a thing of the past.
From my brief look at their website, fighting gay marriage seems to be their main area of interest.
The other sponsor of the conference is the Christian Family Alliance of Colorado, whose website seems to proclaim that their main area of interest is anti-abortion legislation:

So yeah, a group whose main focus is to deny equal rights to gays partners up with an anti-abortion organization to organize a conference to fight the greatest threat America has faced since Hitler -- radical Islamic jihadism.
Or wait, maybe I have that backwards -- perhaps it's the "Colorado Renewal Project" which is trying to get a constitutional amendment on the 2008 Colorado ballot that will define life as beginning at conception, and the "Christian Family Alliance" members who feel that equal rights for gays puts their marriages at risk.
Perhaps the best way to end this diary would be with a bit of levity from the People's Front of Judea:
