The One With Aldacron

A new axis of evil is threatening the United States. If you take to heart what was discussed at the recent Utah County Republicans convention:

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.

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.”

It figures. I must have been blind to believe they were just crossing the border in order to make a buck. And I call myself a Democrat, even!

One Utah State Senator was a bit upset with his colleague:

Senator Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, spoke
against the resolution, saying Larsen, whom he called a “true patriot
and a close friend,” was embarrassing the Republican Party.

“I agree with 95 percent of this resolution but it has some language that
is divisive and not inspiring other people to its vision,” he said.
“This only gives fodder to the liberal media to give negative attention
to the Republican Party.”

Ya think? I don’t know which is more shocking, that Senator Stephenson actually recognizes stupidity when he sees it or that so many Republicans don’t.

Anyway, if you’d like to, you can read more about beautiful (loony) Utah County. If you’re like me, that’s as close as you’ll ever want to get to the place. And you can comment on the article over at the Richard Dawkins site.
