Wingnuts on parade: kill minimum wage, "small" gov't should patrol bedrooms

Remember folks, these are the people that the polls say will be in charge in 3 months:
Cesca

(Senator Jim) DeMint said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn't be teaching in the classroom and he holds the same position on an unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend — she shouldn't be in the classroom.
How does DeMint plan to enforce this? Government raids on bedrooms? This is small government?

Meanwhile Alaskan crackpot Joe Miller comes out against the minimum wage. Really.
Washington Monthly

We asked him, for example, if there should be a federally mandated minimum wage, something that has existed since Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938.

"That is clearly up to the states," Miller said. "The state of Alaska has a minimum wage which is higher than the federal level because our state leaders have made that determination. The minimum level again should be the state's decision."

So there should not be a federal minimum wage?

"There should not be," Miller answered.
How the hell can someone in this day and age argue that there should not be a minimum wage? As Cesca notes, this is like coming out against child labor laws.

This is, of course, the same Miller who also believes that federal unemployment benefits, Medicare, and Social Security should all be eliminated.

This is your new government America. You're turning in to a laughingstock and you're becoming too stupidly ignorant to notice it. Or care.
