A group of people could call themselves the Long Island Iced Tea Party, regularly consume 10 such drinks a piece, and still come across as less crazy than the Tea Party. Washington State Representative Matt Shea is the latest such individual to go public with his insanity.
At a Tea Party "Self-Reliance Rally" in Idaho, Shea told the crowd the following:
"We need to prepare for the inevitable collapse that is going to happen. You know it's going to happen. That's right, I am a politician and I am standing up here and saying that. ... When it happens, we need to look at this as an opportunity, not a crisis. Who's job is liberty? That's our job."
He then urged the crowd to stock up on ammunition, stay in shape, practice shooting, and learn self-defense, before saying, "Be prepared at any given moment to give up your job to do what is right. You have to stand up for what is right - even if it means you have to stand up to your government."
Let's break this down for a moment here. In Matt Shea, we have a person who persuaded the people of Washington to give him the opportunity to represent them in the state government to help improve their lives. While in government, Shea then tells these same people that the government will collapse (with him in it no less), and for the people to stand up against the government (of which he is a part) when this happens, so the government, which fell apart, doesn't seize control on its people.
I love Shea's mindset.
Running for office - "Elect me! I'll do some good for you! Trust me!"
While in office - "We're all doomed! Partially because of electing me! When this all falls apart, fight against us, including me! Trust me!"
When running for office again: "So things weren't quite as bad as I had thought! Elect me again! Trust me!"
Trust Matt Shea? I'd trust a man who had just consumed 10 Long Island Iced Teas before I trusted Tea Partier Matt Shea. Speaking of which, after reading this man's crazy remarks, I think I could go for one of those right now - maybe two...
