I got mine!

Following up on my post from yesterday that outed Jim Thompson, the founder of the right wing website Free Republic, for calling for a revolution to overturn the results of last November’s election, it seems the kook right wing fringe blogosphere’s case of Obama Derangement Syndrome is getting even worse. Obviously echoing Thompson’s extremist rhetoric, the kookish Sam Adams over at The Original Tea Party Guy gives us this little gem,
“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.”
But I’m sure he doesn’t mean anything violent by that, of course. Wink wink, nudge nudge. Adams’ fellow tax protestor, John Marshall who posts at the subversively named Free the Supreme Court, tells us,
“An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation.”
Sheesh, how does Marshall think we’re going to fund the health care we need if we don’t have taxes? He's probably another one of those "patriots" who wants to see Obama fail to save the economy. And I'm sure he's a racist who doesn't want Sotomayor on the Supreme Court, either. There is something seriously wrong with the water over there in Ronpaulistan.
As another example, see the incitements to violence by Thompson’s wacko fellow-traveller at Hanover County “Patriot”,
“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Just a little bit pretentious, don’t you think? No wonder the conservative movement has been discredited by its own reactionary fringe. We can only hope that the FBI is keep a close watch on this Henry guy. Another nugget of wisdom from the same site,
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
No wonder Colin Powell doesn’t want to have anything to do with these loons anymore. By the way, this Patrick Henry is also a creationist. Surprise, surprise.
Lastly, check this out, from a theocratic site called Independence Now,
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness….”
Good grief.
Ping!
Linky no worky.
That darn Jim Thompson is really stirring up some doo-doo, isn’t he?
parsy, who admires the fact checking done by those outside FR
It's not supposed to - fake link protects both myself and FR from certain liabilities.
You forgot Sam.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
And oh, BTW, be careful what you link to that Tommy Jefferson fellow. He wrote some pretty seditious stuff about tress and things.
parsy, who wants to protect his reputation
TREES, not tress.
parsy, who can’t type
Ah, keep Janet Napolitano guessing... I get it. ;^)
I don’t think it works that way if you still post the text.
Sounds like Sam was addressing today’s Beltway GOP.
The text is fake too! ;) (that's why the post is tagged Satire)
What would we ever do without leftist moonbats and their meticulous fact checking?
(live in a better country?)
Wight ring kooks.
That Sam Adams fellah sounds like one of those “Right Wing Extremists” that Napolitano warned us about. He better be careful, or the FEDGOV might pull the “Waco Option” on his privileged, racist, patriarchal, heterosexist, Caucasoid buttocks.
And the less said about that Jefferson guy, the better. He definitely sounds like a racist since he doesn’t appear to be 100% in support of Dear Leader.
After we shut down that right wing Free Republic for being vile extremists I suggest going after a hate filled blog by a kid from South Park, Colorado that calls for death for hippies and ginger kids.
What will happen is the effects of the economy will cause the Democrat's own constituent base (the gangsters, and assorted other n'er-do-wells) to take violently to the streets and begin rioting (not unlike France).
Then, when conservatives start to feel sufficiently threatened in their homes, they will begin to cluster. The US economy will collapse, and government enforcers will cease to be motivated by worthless dollars (not unlike the former Soviet Union).
Then, those clusters of conservatives will begin to assert their collective strength. The natural entropy of the left will cause them to break down into smaller groups that can be dealt with expediently.
And, ultimately, that old document we call the US Constitution will be dusted off and restored to it's proper place, amid the ruins of a nation who's children will listen unbelievably when told that their forefathers once walked on the moon.
