"Landlocked" in the Camps by Flooding: Teabaggers unable to Attend Operation American Spring

At 0:55 in the video, one discovers one of the purported reasons for so few attendees to Operation American Spring:

No, she doesn't mean the FEMA camps: those are undoubtedly for after Operation American Spring - after the "true" patriots and "real" Americans have made themselves known...

Here is an updated definition of landlocked, one that takes into account the teabag vernacular:

landlocked (ˈlændˌlɒkt)

— adj
0. (of a teabagger) completely surrounded by water
1. (of a country) completely surrounded by land
2. (esp of lakes) completely or almost completely surrounded by land
3. (esp of certain salmon) living in fresh water that is permanently isolated from the sea

From:
"landlocked." Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition. HarperCollins Publishers. 16 May. 2014. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/landlocked>.

It is interesting to note how words seem to take on opposite meanings when used by teabaggers. If one were ambitious, one could compile examples of this and author "Definition Zero: The Teabag Vernacular".

However, in the meantime: "Where you at!? WHERE ARE YOU AT!1!1??!?..."

we had flooding rains last Sunday and Monday. Water came into the garage and into our basement entry. It's dry now, but I was stressed. Our basement is where our den and laundry room are, and we spend a lot of time there. When we decided to buy, I refused to even look at a house without a basement. lol

I like how whomever edited the video clipped off the end portion of the loon in the Chelsea Manning shirt who starts at :56, and is cut off at "there are a lot of places you can go to get information" and then, when I was watching the Ustream earlier today, referred to the Occupy DC website.

Ah... she's quite the busy bee....

He is relating to the heartbreak much like Jennifer Hudson did in her hit song:

You said you'd tear down the walls that were in my way
You promised things would be okay
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed

Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me

Seriously, the phrase seems a bit urban and an ironic choice for that speaker and that mono-ethnic, Obama-hating crowd.

This is what happens when you cannot cross the divide between Fox News and reality.

It's sad really.

Hard to believe these people come from the same country as those who put a man on the Moon.
