Chuck Norris threatens ’1,000 years of darkness’ if Obama wins


A video released this weekend by action movie hero Chuck Norris claims that America faces “1,000 years of darkness” if President Barack Obama is reelected.

“If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack,” Norris warns, standing next to his wife. “We’re at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course in which our country is headed.”

The pair go on to explain that Obama won in 2008 because more than 30 million evangelical Christians stayed home on Election Day. “We know you love your family and your freedom as much as Gena and I do, and it is because of that we can no longer sit quietly or stand on the sidelines and watch our country go the way of socialism or something much worse,” Norris explains.

Quoting President Ronald Reagan, Norris’s wife Gina adds that defeating Obama “will preserve for our children this last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into 1,000 years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”

Norris has been an outspoken critic of Obama’s since even prior to the 2008 election. He’s claimed in recent years that the Christian savior character Jesus would have been aborted by his mother if “Obamacare” were available 2,000 years ago, claimed that American progressives want to enshrine Islamic moral codes into U.S. law, and accused the Obama administration of trying to force the Boy Scouts to adopt a “pro-gay” position.

He also warned in 2008 that if Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential nomination, he’d “buy the White House.” Norris hasn’t repeated that particular criticism this election cycle.

[Cancel 2018. 3]

i talked about rhetoric and you somehow think stating a fact about you is a personal attack.

lmao....and of course you prove me right by not admitting it....

[cawacko]

It's Chuck Noris! He can create 1000 years of darkness by himself.

[zappasguitar]

i talked about rhetoric and you somehow think stating a fact about you is a personal attack.

lmao....and of course you prove me right by not admitting it....

It's not a fact...it's your OPINION.

And that makes it a personal attack.

[Cancel 2018. 3]

It's not a fact...it's your OPINION.

And that makes it a personal attack.

and you still won't admit it and never have.

[zappasguitar]

and you still won't admit it and never have.

Admit what?

That BOTH SIDES engage in crazy rhetoric?

SURE they do.

both sides engage in this crazy rhetoric....but you will never hear zappa admit that

Boy that was EASY...and just like that I have proved that Yurt is a liar!

[Cancel 2018. 3]

well blow me down...zappa admitted it. good for you. hopefully this will encourage more honesty from you.

Still won't admit you lied, eh?

No surprise there whatsoever.

[Cancel 2018. 3]

i didn't lie. you said it was my opinion.

you only said it because i goaded you. like i said, i hope this is a first step toward having more honest discussions about politics with you.

This is good news...we've gotten Yurt to admit he isn't really interested in civil discourse and he's basically out to flamebait other posters by being a douchebag.

You stated unequivocally:

both sides engage in this crazy rhetoric....but you will never hear zappa admit that

I proved that last statement to be a lie...but of course Yurt won't admit as much.

While it’s hard to fathom right-wing nuttiness, it’s sure not hard to find these days.




We saw it bloom spectacularly recently, popping right out of the head of Todd Akin, the GOP’s Senate candidate in Missouri.



The learned congressman gave America a twisted tutorial on the imaginary science of “legitimate rape,” including an astonishing assertion of his belief in medical mojo.



Akin explained that raped women don’t get pregnant because — according to his grasp of reproductive science — the female body has ways “to shut that whole thing down.”





Whoa! Screamed Mitt Romney and the entire Republican hierarchy, as they rushed to declare Akin out-of-bounds, unacceptable and ... well, nutty.





But wait.



Guess who’s presently cosponsoring legislation with Akin to impose this theological witchcraft on America’s women?



Why it’s Romney’s choice to hold the second-highest office in our nation, VP nominee Paul Ryan.



Like his buddy Todd, Ryan has sponsored many bills to deny abortion to victims of rape.





Now, guess which party has just fully embraced Akin’s nuttiness by including his absolutist “no-abortion-even-in-the-case-of-rape” provision in its national platform?



Yes, the Romney-Ryan Republicans.



Yet, that same party’s panicked Poobahs have pronounced Akin’s views so extreme that he should withdraw from the Missouri Senate race.



Excuse me, but — logically speaking — doesn’t that mean Ryan should also withdraw from his race?





Of course, in the fantasy universe of the far right, logic is an alien intruder, barred from interfering with either approved doctrine or political expediency.



Indeed, here’s their idea of logic: Akin, a devout worshiper of junk science, is a member of the House Committee on Science.



Go figure.





And if you find that surreal, let me add that his committee assignment is hardly the only illogical perversion in the doctrinal right’s carefully constructed NutLand.



Michele Bachmann, for example, is a member of the House Intelligence Committee.




While Akin’s pseudo-scientific tommyrot about “legitimate rape” has surged him into the lead for the title of Dottiest and Most Dangerous Political Nut of the Year, never count out us Texans in any hard-nut contest.





The state’s front-runner had been Ted Cruz, currently the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, who’s deeply concerned that the United Nations is plotting to take over America’s golf courses.




Suddenly, however, a dark horse from Lubbock has shot past Cruz and seized the lead.



County Judge Tom Head, perhaps suffering from the heat of August, shocked and delighted the right-wing-o-sphere by demonstrating in an Aug. 21 interview that it’s actually humanly possible to get even nuttier about President Obama than simply ranting that he’s a Kenyan Muslim socialist.



I’ll let Head speak for himself.




“In this political climate, what is the worst thing that could happen? Obama gets back in the White House,” he answered to his own question.



“No. God forbid,” he added.



Why?



Plunging deeper into paranoid darkness, Head announced that a re-elected Obama is “going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.”



And that, warned Head, will lead to the worst:



“Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe. We’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy. Now what’s going to happen if we do that?” asked Head as he built to his logical conclusion: “(Obama’s) going to send in U.N. troops.”





However, Head (who oversees emergency preparedness in the county) told Lubbockites not to worry, for if they approve a local tax increase, he will use the money to recruit and train more police to combat Obama’s diabolical U.N. takeover scheme.



“I don’t want ‘em in Lubbock County,” Head said.



“So I’m going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say, ‘You’re not coming in here.”’





Thank you, Judge Head, for showing America just what you’re made of: a sack of nuts and a bucket of silly putty.
