I knew there was something behind this guy&#8217;s simpering, expressionless visage, his stoic, relentless determinism, that was more than just filthy Koch dollars. Now I know it&#8217;s just Jeebus! Walkers\u00a0is the same brand of evangelical &#8220;spirituality&#8221; that shaped George W&#8217;s dry-drunkedness &#8211; the one that \u00a0led him to wage war and &#8220;stay the course&#8221; in Afghanistan and Iraq for ten fucking years. Obeying Christ&#8217;s plan is the only option, and once you know his plan, you <em>stay the course<\/em>. Doubt or introspection opens the door to failure. It was the same quality that made W so insufferable, with his intractable bullshit and his narrow eyes. In this cracked theological universe, stubbornness is a virtue. You must be unwavering, anything else, any attempts at compromise are the Devil&#8217;s work. Anything that helps God&#8217;s plan along is ethically justifiable. It makes sense, then, that while the Roman Catholic Church, and\u00a0mainline pastors, including Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, and American Baptists have written letters supporting collective bargaining, and given sermons\u00a0encouraging public employees in their resistance to the governor&#8217;s plan to break their unions, Walker has remained slack jawed and unmoved. His doughy skull hangs there, his eyes fixed and on the prize.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9403 alignleft\" title=\"Dopey\" src=\"http:\/\/teensleuth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Dopey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"244\" \/>Scott Walker is not a man of\u00a0<em>God<\/em>, he&#8217;s a con-man, whose highest ethic is to serve himself.\u00a0Besides his aneurism-inducing hate-froth about unions, the Jeebus lovin&#8217; Gov ordered his\u00a0thieving Kochtards to hit the United Website website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2011\/11\/14\/group-leading-recall-effort-against-gov-walker-hit-with-cyber-attack\/\">with a cyber attack<\/a>,\u00a0ran \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrn.com\/2011\/11\/recalls-signatures-and-fake-candidates\/\">fake Democrats<\/a>\u201d, and &#8211; merry Christmas, unemployeds! &#8211; shelled out $60,000 for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/blogs\/news\/131336349.html\">iPads for every idiot on <\/a>his staff.

The state\u2019s official unemployment rate, down to 7.1 percent in January, has risen to 7.8 percent since Republican Gov. Scott Walker took office. But Walker and the GOP-led Legislature have a plan: First, they\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/motherjones.com\/politics\/2011\/02\/income-inequality-labor-union-decline\" target=\"_blank\">curtailed collective-bargaining rights<\/a> and threatened to lay off government workers, including teachers, cops, and firefighters. Then Walker called a special jobs-focused session of the Legislature, which he dubbed \u201cBack to Work Wisconsin,\u201d to pass even more \u201cjob-creating\u201d laws. At the top of the jobs agenda? Gutting the state\u2019s sex ed standards and replacing them with abstinence-only education.<\/p>\n<div id=\"content-area\">\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"node-147141\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mjcdn.motherjones.com\/preset_12\/scott-walker-little-girl-believe.jpg\" alt=\"scott walker\" \/><\/div>\n<div><em>Wisconsin Gov.
