“No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.”

Worst Quote of the Week – February 7, 2020

“So actually in the Constitution of the United States (if) they are found guilty of being a socialist member you either go to prison or are shot.”

Rodney Garcia, a Republican legislator from the state of Montana.

Garcia made the comment after a speech by former Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, who was Montana’s representative in the U.S. House for two years.  Garcia said he was concerned about socialists “entering our government” and socialists “everywhere” in Billings, before saying the Constitution says to either shoot socialists or put them in jail.  The Montana Republican Party has condemned Garcia’s remarks.

“God does not belong to a political party.”

– Pete Buttigieg, in response to Donald Trump’s accusation that the young mayor and others are trying to remove God from the American lexicon and replace it with socialism.

Trump had spoken at the King Jesus International Ministry in Miami and said that God is “on our side” against “radical left” Democrats.
