It is frightening at times just how insane some among the Virginia populous seem to be. How else to explain an adoring crowd of reality and modernity denying Kool-Aid drinkers enthusiastically gathering around the certifiably insane Ken "Kookinelli" Cuccinelli as he signed copies of his anti-government screed that in truth describes the denial of liberty rather than its protection. Fredericksburg.com looks at the scary display of insanity. Here are highlights:
Virginia’s Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli signed about 100 copies of his new book for customers at the Barnes & Noble in Central Park Friday night.
“The Last Line of Defense: The New Fight for American Liberty,” which was released on Tuesday, “explores the numerous courtroom battles fought against the Obama administration,” according to Cuccinelli’s publicist.
The book claims that the federal health care law, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Communications Commission and other agencies have violated the Constitution by exercising unparalleled control over Americans.
That message struck a chord with Rob Clark of Stafford, who arrived at Barnes & Noble almost two hours before the event started. “We need to get back, as a nation, to the basics,” Clark said. “We’re not as strong of a country as we once were.”
The book-signing drew a crowd of Cuccinelli followers from the Fredericksburg area, as well as many from Richmond and from Northern Virginia. Leading up to the attorney general’s arrival, the crowd buzzed about his upcoming campaign for governor of Virginia.
“There’s a great turnout here. It goes to show the momentum the attorney general has going into the race,” said Virginia Republican Sen. Bryce Reeves, who represents Orange and Fredericksburg, as well as parts of Culpeper, Louisa, Spotsylvania and Albemarle counties.
Cuccinelli’s book has also gotten plenty of attention from Democrats in Richmond, who are hoping the Republican’s candid opinions will hurt his election chances. Several of them even staged a dramatic reading of parts of it Tuesday in a Capitol Square office building.
Of course, for Kookinelli and his followers "getting back to basics" translates to increased special rights for Christofascists, the stigmatizing of LGBT Virginians, treating women as chattel to be controlled by angry white males, disenfranchising blacks and minorities and an utter disregard for the U. S. Constitution and U. S. Supreme Court rulings.
