Meet the Frothers: First in a Pith Series on the New Republican Majority

Posted by Jeff Woods on Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 3:11 PM

Sheila Butts book
  • Sheila Butt's book
The first day of next year's state legislative session will seem like the Star Wars bar scene come to terrifying life.Yet more frothers, fearmongers and zealots will be elected next week in the great Republican storm, joining all the incumbent Wookiees and weird aliens in a mighty new majority. We can't wait.

One of these state House hopefuls is Sheila Butt, a Christian author and motivational speaker who is challenging Ty Cobb, the dim-bulb freshman Democrat from Columbia. What's Butt all about?

To begin to answer that question, we checked out her latest book, Everyday Princess: Daughter of the King. In this "instructional manual" for every Christian girl hoping to become "a real princess" in the eyes of God, Butt explains how to avoid the pitfalls of meeting homosexuals, dating blacks, dancing with anyone and lots of other stuff. Here's a sample:

Will dating someone of another race be helpful or beneficial? Understanding that you will eventually marry someone that you date, will you be just as happy for your children to grow up biracial? I have seen instances when a young lady started dating someone of another race, and there were those of her own race who were not interested in dating her after that.

To admonish her readers against the ways of the wicked, Butt trashes Natalie Holloway:

Does the name Natalie Holloway mean anything to you? She was a high school graduate from Alabama having the unofficial graduation party of her life in Aruba when she went missing. No one knows what happened to Natalie Holloway. Do you know what? When it was happening, I doubt if she knew either. She was probably stoned, drugged or passed out at the time.

We would transcribe more of Butt's wisdom, but you get the picture and we can't bear to keep reading this book. Besides, it's Brandon's time!

It'll be interesting to see how she deals with Josh Evans and the other gay members of the Republican House Caucus

Who is the worst homophobe -- Sheila Butt or "No wimps allowed", who shows his butt to us here far too often? My vote's for NWA which, in this instance, stands for "Numb-nut With Attitude".

Give it a rest, would ya? Your gay-bashing fits more firmly with Republican posturing, whether they are closeted or not, and you know it. All it does here is stink up the place and (apparently) attract more like-minded flies to your steaming pile of "attitude".

I agree with no wimps. Republicans always denounce Gays then another republican comes out of closet. I think maybe republicans should shut up about gays since most republicans see one in the mirrior.

Read my posts. It is bashing the repubs. I remind people how republicans talk out of both sides of their heads. Republicans are always bashing someone then it seems the people they bash are no different then they are. All talk show hosts are COWARDS!!! I will start with Queer Boy Phil Valentine. There was a incident where a man called him out in public and poor Queer Boy Phil turned COWARD real QUICK!! It seems a queer member of the Gay OLE PARTY comes out of the closet more and more frequent. I stand by my opinion....Reupublicans are all SISSY COWARD FAGS!!!

I’m wondering if those who support that so-called Tea Party Movement really know where Republicans are leading them? It seems like the Tea Party rank and file are being used by a bunch of vain, self-serving, evil, power mad, greedy Con Artists. Paid for by wealthy silver spoon trust fund babies who want to turn the American PEOPLE into peasants. The scum of the earth who hide their hideous faces by using Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin as spokespersons. SUCKERS!





Just look at their agenda items.
1) Repeal Health Insurance Reform
2) Privatize Social Security or abolish it.
3) End Medicare
4) Extend Bush Tax Cuts for wealthy and Big Oil
5) Repeal Wall Street reform
6) Protect those responsible for Gulf oil disaster and future environmental catastrophes
7) Abolish or cut funding to Department of Education
8) Abolish Dept. of Energy
9) Abolish Environmental Protection Agency
10) Repeal 17th Amendment
11) Rewrite Bible and school textbooks,
12) Replace JESUS with Glenn Beck, Frank Church with Joe McCarthy…
13) After USA is destroyed by Republican Party low grade thought processes, BLAME Democrats..
14) be flunkies, soldiers and slaves for silver spoon trust fund babies like George W. Bush, Saudi oil cartels.

If this isn't a text from evil Dick W. Cheney....what is?


REALITY NOW! What leadership, character or morals have Republicans displayed since Obama was sworn in? NO solutions, NO rational plans, clear agendas or common sense policy JUST Sarah Palin/Glenn Beck spewing hate and far out stupidity.

COME ON, are you right-wing wackos goofy?? Am I missing something here but didn’t Conservatives just have 8 YEARS of Bush/Cheney and Republican controlled Congress (1994-2006) to put their warped ideology into practice? AND IT ALMOST DESTROYED THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!

The American PEOPLE must WAKE UP, to get rid of the Corporate Conservative propagandists before they work the rightwing morons into a murderous, Civil War type frenzy. Limbaugh, Beck, Palin, etc must be stopped because there’s too many stupid, uneducated weak-minded Americans who fall for their crazy BS!

Conservative pupetts USE hate speech, racist attitudes, bold-faced lies, fear mongering, psychological warfare, warped interpretations of the Bible and other textbook forms of bias persuasion to create a group of dimwitts.

And don’t give me that line about Conservatives deserve the rights or freedoms to spread their vile propaganda. THEY’RE DESTROYING THE NATION! The rich guys who own the news media might as well give national broadcast air time to the enemy.

Waste, fraud, abuse, scandal, homosexual deviancy, corruption, lies, incompetence, job outsourcing, off-shore tax evasion, union busting, reckless economics, welfare for the rich, deregulation, war mongers, Constitutional violations AND a Corporate Crime Wave of epic proportions…. The WORST looting of a nation’s wealth and resources in the history of MANKIND!

Where was the Tea Party anger THEN? Idiot ignorant hypocrites.

But you want Democrats to believe if only Conservatism had one more chance it can work? The very definition of insanity, isn’t IT? Over and over AGAIN! Just separate yourselves from Bush/Cheney lies MISINFORMED people into believing they’re part of a NEW Conservative Movement.

In OTHER WORDS Gay ole party talking points are based on the ignorance of their constituents. They revise history and LIE because they CAN… because morons who vote for Republicans DON’T KNOW THEIR OWN HISTORY! This ain’t NO Tea Party… it’s a attempted take over....class war. They want to own us like slaves!!

Natalie Holloway was spending some time with a white boy, if I recall correctly. Had she been out and about with a boy of a different race, she might still be alive today. But what would be the point, since no one of her race would want to date her?

So some people are weak-minded bigots and the rest of us should kowtow to them and follow the narrow-minded dictates they foist on us????

Pardon me, Ms. Butts, but fuck you!

Funny the conclusions you all seem to jump to. You all seem to think it was a white girl dating a black man that she was talking about.

Read it again. It is nondescript. I think a lot of your own prejudices are showing.

responding to "mirror" : The book does have a white girl on the cover, whom the author is presumably speaking too.

Reaper should not make suggestive remarks to his dreams
about Mrs. Butt, but to his own race, creed, gender and
fellow posters-or poster fellows! Nice talk and so brave.
