(This is a recurring motif of current rightist rhetoric.) Does he really believe we're going to be invaded, taken over, made to pray to Mecca, and have our women hidden under burkas? If so, that's beyond hyperbole. That's insane. What’s also interesting is that Bunning is saying that this “Islamic” threat is worse than that posed by Nazi Germany in World War II.

Bunning to come back through the looking glass to join us in the real world, but it would be nice if he could at least uphold the U.S. Constitution like he swore he would. Statements like the one he made are outright unAmerican. We can probably never expect Sen.
