Blog on Dan Lungren,
http://onlinelunchpail.blogspot.com/200 ... 5078980953This guy's a scumbag who hates almost everything America is supposed to stand for, yet he still doesn't know when to slam his spleezix yip tight.
He's California congressman Dan Lungren, who is now mounting a bid to become House Republican leader. If there's another 1994 (which there won't be), this guy could become House Speaker, and the last thing America needs is another unstable maniac like Newtzi in the Speaker's chair.
During his years as California Attorney General, Lungren proved his hatred of the First Amendment when he tried to have people imprisoned for selling anti-DARE t-shirts. Despite Lungren's fascism, there still exists a propaganda cult that praises him for supposedly lowering the state's crime rate (even though crime soared under his watch).
In Congress, Lungren cosponsored a clearly unconstitutional bill to deny U.S. citizenship to American-born children of immigrants.
Dan Lungren ranks up there with Bill McCollum and Mark Souder in hallucinating about stoners and "dry druggies" hiding under every bed. So much so that Lungren appears to be the only current or former member of Congress to serve on the advisory board of
Drug Free America Foundation, a cult descended from Mel Sembler's Straight, Incorporated.
Straight, Inc. of course was a "rehab" that was the site of countless cases of abuse against teenagers. Straight, Inc. used brainwashing tactics borrowed from prisoner-of-war camps. (Youth programs such as residential "rehabs" and psychiatric "hospitals" have borrowed many of the same tactics.) The Kids Helping Kids cult (yes, the one we protested) was more or less Straight, Inc. under a different name.
DFAF's advisory board reads like a Who's Who of right-wing politics of Florida (the state where DFAF is based), including Jeb Bush and other sorryasses. But Lungren is one of several members from other states.
It's fair to say Dan Lungren is ear-deep in helping run an abusive cult. This is the man who's making a serious bid to become one of the most powerful Republicans in America - and was one of the most powerful politicians of any party in California.
