I know. You're probably thinking to yourself that it's global warming, religious radicals, loose nuclear material, or the lack of quality velour suits outside of New Jersey but you're wrong. You're so wrong it makes me want to vomit in terror. Liberals like Benevolent Dictator for Life Obama, Comrade Commissar Nancy Pelosi and Hero of the Soviet Union Tim Walz are destroying this country by trying to make sure you can get a job or have access to minimal health care for you and your loved ones. There's one patriot out to save Minnesota from the horror of semi-competent governance, Allen Quist. Who is this super-patriot, failed gubernatorial candidate, and current congressional candidate? Let's let Allen do the talking.

"Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom... Terrorism? Yes. That’s not the big battle," he said. "The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren’t liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They’re not liberals, they’re radicals. They are destroying our country."
If grandpa Quist's musings on the evils of people having minimal health care without going broke aren't enough check out a little bit of teh crazy that is Allen's world:

Years ago, when Quist's first wife died while nearly seven months pregnant, Quist had the fetus removed from her body and displayed in an open casket so his family could properly grieve for an unborn child. It was one of a series of revelations from the '94 campaign--another was Quist's assertion that men had a "genetic predisposition" to rule the household--that torpedoed his primary bid after he'd been endorsed at the last GOP convention. It also fueled the notion that he is unelectable in Minnesota.
Mad love ThinkProgress for publicizing this. When Allen lost his bid for governor all those years ago the GOP in Minnesota was a different organization. They've totally purged the party of actual moderate republicans that used to win state wide office like Arnie Carlson. The only moderates left are folks like norm coleman who pretend to be somewhat moderate but as I'm sure everyone is aware by was not even remotely moderate once elected. I doubt he'll pick up the nomination because he's been out of the political spot light for so long but you just can't tell these days. From the video it's rather evident he's gone full teabag.
