Chris Nogy, husband of Benton County (Arkansas) GOP secretary Leigh Nogy, had a few interesting things to write in the April edition of the Benton County Republican Party newsletter concerning GOP state legislators whom voted to expand Medicaid in the state.
In this newsletter, Nogy wrote:
"So what do we do? While I believe that we as a party are done in Arkansas after this, if there is ANY hope of our survival, it is going to take not being forgiving. Not only for past actions, but to show those who will come in the future that the cost of failure to do the thing they were elected to do will be significant. We need to be making a point of this failure from this moment on. We need to make a public statement from our groups that we no longer support those who turned on us, that we will NOT be working to their re-election, that we will be actively seeking replacements, and perhaps even working towards recall. We as the Party have to stand up and say ‘no more – you were given a job, you campaigned on the promise to do this job, you had the ability to do this job, you had the votes each time to do this job, and yet for no legitimate reason you betrayed the trust put in you by the electorate and you are now completely and permanently politically finished.’
We need to let those who will come in the future to represent us that we are serious. The 2nd amendment means nothing unless those in power believe you would have no problem simply walking up and shooting them if they got too far out of line and stopped responding as representatives. It seems that we are unable to muster that belief in any of our representatives on a state or federal level, but we have to have something, something costly, something that they will fear that we will use if they step out of line. If we can’t shoot them, we have to at least be firm in our threat to take immediate action against them politically, socially, and civically if they screw up on something this big. Personally, I think a gun is quicker and more merciful, but hey, we can’t."
That's right - if Republican state legislators in Arkansas expand Medicaid, they should be shot, so says a Republican from that very state. This guy sounds like a winner. I wonder if he has anything to add following all the criticism he received from both sides of the political spectrum due to his controversial commentary. Mr. Nogy? Care to add anything?
Not long after he received a great deal of criticism, Nogy wrote this lovely attempt of clarification:
"And in this age of death threats from nameless, faceless thugs, we need these folks to know that while we most likely won't try to kill them or harm their families, they should be much more certain of our response than fearful of the actions of those who will not identify themselves.
I believe that in a world of nameless, faceless thugs influencing our people every day, it is imperative that we become thugs with names and faces just as scary even if in a different way. If we don't, then we lose."
Doesn't that sound sincere? "...we most likely won't try to kill them or harm their families...?"
That brings me to a new game called, Aw, Isn't He Sweet?
Below there will be a series of highly controversial statements made by my vision of Chris Nogy, followed by his very sincere "clarifications," and the audience's immediate reactions.
Nogy statement: "If my neighbor's dog ever craps on my lawn again, I swear to God, I'm going to go outside, pull down my pants, and crap on his dog!"
Nogy clarification: "I most likely won't expose myself to the neighborhood and poop on my neighbor's dog."
Audience's reaction: "Aw, isn't he sweet?"
Nogy statement: "If I ever see a kid misbehaving... I don't care if it's my kid or some stranger's kid. If I ever see a kid misbehaving somewhere, I will smack the ever living hell out of him!"
Nogy clarification: "I most likely won't ever beat up anyone's kids or how did I put it? Smack the ever living hell out of them."
Audience's reaction: "Aw, isn't he sweet?"
Nogy statement: "Some of my friends' wives are really hot. One of these days, I'm just going to pounce on and have my way with them, if you know what I mean. They may not like it, but that's too bad!"
Nogy clarification: "I most likely won't ever rape my friends' wives."
Audience's reaction: "Aw, isn't he sweet?"
Eh, no... While I can't be 100% of this, I most likely won't ever be calling Chris Nogy "sweet."
