Perhaps the most dangerous man in the Senate

Despite the loathing I feel for Mitch McConnell and the utter disgust I harbor for Eric Cantor, the true depth of my disdain and distaste is reserved for the Senator from South Carolina, Jim DeMint. I knew DeMint was absolutely bad news for the country before he got elected to the Senate, and his espousal of the Tea Party holy writ, not to mention his sponsorship of some absolute true clunkers of candidates due to their level of discipleship, proves the point again and again.

Well, DeMint has a book out now, and my first reading of a review confirms that DeMint is DeTestable, DeMented, and DeTached from Reality. Totally.


Jim DeMint's Book 'The Great American Awakening' Highlights GOP-Tea Party Power Struggle

"DeMint writes in almost messianic terms as he repeatedly casts himself as fulfilling a mission assigned to him by God to "save freedom," prevent bankrupting the future and pull the nation back from a moral abyss."

I wonder how many other nuggets of nuttiness there are in the book. Sort of like this:

"The hope and change the Democrats had in mind was nothing more than a retread of the failed and discredited socialist policies that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries all over the world. I fear America is teetering towards tyranny."

Oh, right. Well, what do you expect from a Tea Party "kingmaker"? Cogent thought?
