Here is the fifty-ninth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Republican nominee for for the US Senate from Iowa Joni "Pig Nuts" Ernst. She is so honored for extreme TEAbuggery.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0818Ernst\"It’s well past time that Democrats stop playing around and start tearing Joni Ernst apart for all the truly crazy shit she’s been spewing, like the recently revealed fact that she’s been running with the black helicopter crowd<\/a><\/font>:<\/font><\/p>\n

"The United Nations has imposed this upon us, and as a U.S. senator, I would say, ‘No more. No more Agenda 21.’ Community planning\u2014to the effect that it is implementing eminent domain and taking away property rights away from individuals\u2014I don’t agree with that. And especially in a place such as Iowa, where we rely heavily upon our agricultural community, our rural communities. We don’t want to see things like eminent domain come into play," Ernst said in response to a question about Agenda 21 at the forum. <\/font><\/p>\n

"We don’t want to see a further push with Agenda 21, where the Agenda 21 and the government telling us that these are the urban centers that you will live in; these are the ways that you will travel to other urban centers<\/strong><\/span>," Ernst continued. "Agenda 21 encompasses so many different aspects of our lives that it’s taking away our individual liberties, our freedoms as United States citizens. So I would adamantly oppose Agenda 21. I don’t believe it is responsible, not for United States citizens."<\/font><\/p>\n

Agenda 21, if you’ve never heard of it, is an innocuous U.N. document that has, over the years, become a lodestone of the wingnut fever swamps<\/a><\/font>. This is Michele Bachman-esque<\/a><\/font>, out-of-your-freaking-gourd territory\u2026 [emphasis original<\/em>]<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
