The Fringe Party

April 16th, 2009 16 Comments

Now Republican nuts in Georgia are talking secession. Who knew electing one black man by 10 million votes would bring the kooks out of the woodwork so quickly? Its like 1964 all over again.

    Marlowe: “Then they pause to call for secession and violent revolution, and then go back to bitching about being painted as extremists.”

    Oliver…I’m thinking, not 1964…but 1856…

    I’m starting to think Bill Clinton will have had it easy, with only 1 Tim McVeigh, and no national Television network egging him on to his action. What will happen to Obama, with Fox News around to egg on what might end up to be hundreds or more McVeighs, all armed to the teeth, and hating America and the dreams for which it stands?

    I hope to god I’m wrong, but I think we could see the first ever US suicide bomber.

    Why can’t we all just chill the fuck out?

    Cons don’t want a man that isn’t white to marry their daughter and they don’t want a man that isn’t white to be president

    Not merely a black man, OW. A mulatto! The product of sexual intercourse between a white woman and (gasp!) an AFRICAN man!! That – that’s UNNATURAL! An abomination before God!

    In other words: same shit, different century.

    I am so old, it wasn’t until I was a grown-ass man that the words “mulatto” and “Negress” went out of circulation. I even heard “quadroon” a couple of times.

    The issue of their right to secede from the Union was settled on April 9, 1865.

    If Texas and Georgia secede, I’ll dance a jig. And then get to building the biggest fuckin’ wall you ever seen on their borders.

    The Republican Party’s Vice Presidential candidate’s husband belonged to a secessionist movement in Alaska.

    The Texas governor is talking secession.

    And Australian Murdoch has the one network to rule them all.

    The funny/sad/sick part about Murdoch’s proto-fascist FOX network is that Murdoch would renounce his US citizenship for China and be a Chinese citizen tomorrow if he thought he could make more money and have more influence.

    The lemmings that follow Murdoch’s stable of pied piper sociopaths don’t have a clue how meaningless they are to him.

    If you follow the links you find this:

    Now, to be fair, the resolution passed because it was snuck unnoticed onto the Senate resolution calendar on the 39th day of the 40-day legislative session, when senators were trying to handle dozens of bills and scores of amendments. Most did not have an opportunity to read the six-page resolution, which in its description claimed to merely affirm “states’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.”

    No one was paying attention to this piece of crap.

    For example, here is the First Reader Summary from the State Legislature site:

    A RESOLUTION affirming states’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles; and for other purposes.

    If you read the amendment text, it actually says that the imposition of martial law would be among the federal acts triggering the nullification of the Constitution.

    Funny they didn’t think this necessary for the last 7 years after 9/11/2001 and the “Unitary Executive” and “Fourthbranch” Cheney.

    Georgia and Texas are like the weak bully who tries to look tough but keeps asking someone to “hold him back.”

    Leave. Good luck surviving without Federal roads, hospitals, prisons, and school money.

    This is not the fringe this IS the party.

    They would threaten to leave the country instead of seceding, but apartheid is no longer the law in South Africa.

    “Its like 1964 all over again.”

    Yes, exactly, great parallel. The Evers mistrial, war on poverty, Gulf of Tonkin, Philly race riots, and Civil Rights Act filibuster — it’s like the country is going through that all over again.

    All because of a bill in the Georgia Senate primarily about gun control.
