Were the republicans as crazy back then too?  Or is this a whole new world of opposition party insanity?

I wanna say that the whole moral majority thing started in the late eighties, but it wasn't until the late nineties that they went totally batshit.

If I remember it was the republic convention with Bush Sr, before he went against Clinton that the moral majority took over the party, when they were boing people who were trying to push more traditional conservative values.

EDIT; forgot to mention, take this as a very political video, just confirmation on the date. If Im not mistaking this was about the time the neocons decided to have sex with the religious right as well

SECOND EDIT: Though all those people did say those things. lol

The moral majority got involved in the 70s, and the 80s were fucking HILARIOUS.

By the 90s, they had just devolved into deregulation greedheads, and most of the lulz were gone.

Black helicopters.
Mena.
New World Order.
Hillary Clinton is a lesbian Satanist.
UN troops secretly preparing to take over the USA.
The Patriot Movement.

If TOTSE was still up, I'd link you to the batshit insanity that was the early 90s...every bit as good as this, for sure.  The only difference is now the Movement has slipped the leash, and the crazy has now moved up into the main ranks of the GOP.  Before, there were enough old skool republicans to (barely) keep the movement under control - though Newt and his merry gang didn't help matters.

Your answer lies in 1996:

Fox News.

Coupled with a sudden resurgence of the "family values" and protecting our precious little snowflakes mentalities.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

i never understood the crazy aspect of black helicopters.  Isn't that just about helicopters that have noise reduction tech?

Oh no - that would have some rational basis! The Black Helicopters were the front line of the UN/NWO army that was being poised to force the whole world into a one-world totalitarian government (run by the socialist fascists of the Clinton regime? can't remember who was supposed to be running the UN/NWO regime). The Black Helicopters are how "they" would come to get you, according to the crazies, at least as far as I remember from the lunatic rantings of the early/mid '90s.
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.
