Thankfully she lost the last election but her idiocy will live on in infamy. Here's just some kernels of her awe-inspiring wisdom, and my snarky comments next to bullets:
"It is not enough to be abstinent with other people, you also have to be be abstinent alone. The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery, so you can't masturbate without lust."
"We took the Bible and prayer out of public schools. Now we're having weekly shootings. We had the 60s sexual revolution, and now people are dying of AIDS."
- Hmm, you people are sounding more like Glenn Beck everyday, like his "I'm going to connect french fries with the collapse of the free world" episode. He really said that. Look it up.
"You know, these are the kind of cheap, underhanded, un-manly tactics that we've come to expect from Obama's favorite Republican, Mike Castle [..] Mike, this is not a bake-off, get your man-pants on."
- Holy hell Christine, you could make he-man cry.
"God may choose to heal someone from cancer, yet that person still has a great deal of medical bills. The outstanding bills do not determine whether or not the patient has been healed by God."
"America is now a socialist economy. The definition of a socialist economy is when 50% or more your economy is dependent on the federal government."
"You can't masturbate without lust." / "I'm a young woman in my thirties and I remain chaste."
- Oh, so that's why you became a witch.
"American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains."
- They would have made nice pets, but they've all died because upon being introduced to Jersey Shore, their brains instantly deflated like balloons.
"You know what, evolution is a myth." / "Why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?"
- You want proof?
"During the primary, I heard the audible voice of God. He said, 'Credibility.'"
- Are you sure God didn't say "Sensibility"? Particularly your lack thereof.
After being asked if she considered herself a feminist, O'Donnell from (http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/09/the_top_ten_christine_odonnell_quotes.php)
- So a dentist celebrates dents? And ageists celebrate age? I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Also, from wikipedia "Feminism refers to movements aimed at establishing and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women." I would add equal political, economic and social rights for everyone regardless of gender. It's not just a movement for women.
"This is a matter of culpability. What freak dancing is isn't just like the safety of mosh pitting, this is sexually explicit activity for minors. We do limit the expression of minors. There are drinking laws. There are -- you know, you have to be 18 to smoke. You can't go to school in a bikini. On one hand, you have people saying this is squelching their freedom, and then you scratch your head and say look over here, date rape is such an epidemic. There's a connection, and, if people realize that there's a connection, then they'll realize that these limitations and restrictions exist for a very valid reason."
>>The way she talks about AIDS on CSPAN should make you livid. Seriously.
>>Skip ahead to 2:50 to hear her deny the separation of church and state.
1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I can make fun of people like O'Donnell, but most of all it scares me. This country is inches away from being run by people who don't know the first thing about the constitution, the thing that they're supposedly using as a guiding principal. It is an imperfect living document, no doubt, but the separation of church and state is not something to be forgotten by anyone, let alone a person running for elected office.
