As can be seen [here,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13430468&postcount=23) this mother fucker is in dire need of psychiatric help. Here’s the gem from GD that caused me to comment and get admonished by a mod: [QUOTE=Der Trihs] I’m a liberal and an atheist; I give good odds I’d be imprisoned or executed under a “Tea Party” government; probably tortured too. [/QUOTE] So, to all you sane, intelligent, well-balanced individuals, stop it! You’re being cruel. It’s NOT his fault. Some chromosomes got twisted or something. There. Now I feel better having done my good deed. ---

Did you post this because you’re asking for sympathy for Der Trihs or for you? ---

You don’t have to support your hatred for homosexuals in Tea Party America™ so he wouldn’t have to resort to scattered defenses about language and future homo-holocausts. ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > Do you actually think liberals and atheists would be imprisoned, tortured, and executed in a Tea Party dominated America? I think speaking out against Christianity would likely be against the law in parts of the country. States rights and all. Tea Party folk are also pretty hard-line on crime and punishment, so I don’t doubt that prisons would be rough and without frill. I doubt execution would be the punishment though. Although, once they codify America as a Christian country, being anti-Christian might be construed as treason. 😃 ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > Do you actually think liberals and atheists would be imprisoned, tortured, and executed in a Tea Party dominated America? I like to think that if it came right down to it that those who are walking the line in order to not piss others off or are affraid of being honest about the way they really feel about the Jesus bullshit story due to being put out by friends and or family, would stand shoulder to shoulder with us who have our balls out and spill some fucking blood to the point of Jesus vs reality would equal South vs North, American style. Or Indians vs Cowboys if you like. I have a very strong feeling that quite a few folks know in there heart of hearts that Jesus is fucking horseshit but will not speak up about it due to social pressure. ---

> [@Lord\_Ashtar](#): > > I take it you think laws like this would not be struck down as unconstitutional? Tea Partiers don’t care about the constitution. They care about what they \*think \*it says. They want to ignore the 14th amendment for instance. I don’t doubt that if they had the clout they’d want to adjust it to allow for preferential Christianity. If the Tea Party got what they wanted we’d be a western Iran. If the Liberals got what they wanted we’d be Sweden. I vote snow bunny. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > Do you actually think a tea party dominated America would be a good place to be an atheist? As good as any. Not all tea partiers are Christian fundamentalists, you know. So, do YOU think that Der Trihs’s statement is reasonable? If no, congratulate yourself, you’re among the sane. If not, why not PM him, maybe you guys can get a discount if you go together. ---

They’ve looked at the congressional minutes during its debate and passage and think (egad, there’s that horrible word again) it’s been misconstrued. Which it has. And their reading jives with the vast, vast majority of other countries’ immigration laws. So, if you’re lying, stop it. If not, get smarter and less partisan. At least enough as to grant that there is legitimate disagreement over what the amendment says. ---
