Look! Crazy people (dumbasses seek to split up the Union)
Enjoyed this bit of lunacy. Crazy racists from right here in Texas want to carve off part of the country and make it its own nation. Jeepers, what sort of ignoramus honestly thinks there's even a chance of this country breaking up?

Of special note to my fellow spelling snobs: Their racist webmaster mispelled "articals" in the name of his directory file for his articles.

5. Yup, they're racist
They also think that the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti Defamation League are 'dangerous' and 'anti-American'. They also apparently have a low opinion of university professors . . . I guess they're bitter about being too stupid to go to college. http://www.federationofstates.org/articals/ap2.htm

What a bunch of freaks!!!

Side note (from the website): "WERE YOU TAUGHT THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS OUR FIRST PRESIDENT? HE WASN’T, HE WAS THE TENTH PRESIDENT!" Boy. That educmacation shure ded learnd 'em!

You gotta hand it to them. They aren't complete idiots. Here's one point on their platform: "9. We favor honest voting with a return to the old more reliable paper ballot being tallied by hand and verified by precinct and higher citizen's committees open to public viewing."

29. Camo pants?
I got a pair of pretty blue ones( they're supposed to be urban nightime camo or something like that) I luv them ,they're comfy,chock full of pockets for all the shit I carry around and they have the most pretty almagam of blues and bluish beiges,looks great with my blue tye dyes and blue tiger T shirt.They look nice with punk leather..They aren't hot as jeans in the sadistic Maryland summers..And I don't look fat in them either.
I also got a big mowhawk,facial pierces,wear a tail ,cat pattern tattoos,and I ain't nowhere near republican.Don't assume only jarheads and assholes wear camos.They're comfy pants and they are practical.

I find people who dress or appear "normal" can be VERY suprisingly freak freindly if you are open to them and allow them to be different.Not all people who dress like militia people"rednecks",suit-n-ties, or jarhead like are asshole Ceo's,ignorant jerks,bully jarheads and dumb rednecks. Sharps look like other nastly skinheads at first glance..but they ARE different they fight bigots and bullies and protect disinfranchised people in ways pacifists won't.They are helpful to people's safety in certain areas and situations.Don't knock the good motive behind some people who look like they can kick ass,they might be fighting along side you someday for the same reasons you are fighting they might be the fists of justice you are afraid or ethically opposed to using yourself.
Everyone has thier own way of dealing with bullies and tyrants. Some techiques are more effective than others depending on circumstances.
We on the non bully spectrum are all humans with feelings and a desire for freedom and equality.We just go about seeking it in different ways. IU always ask what is a persons motives,thier ethics and thier heart like.Are they an abuser or a fighter? There is a big difference.

People are just different from each other in thier dress or personal styles. No big deal to me. If thier hearts are ethical,freedom loving and liberal they're OK to me. If you react based in looks ,sexual orientation,religions,dress,styles ect doesen't that make you "reactionary"? And isn't the reluctance to react on appearances alone, and put different than thou people in these simplistic catagories of ,like them or hate them based in looks or race or gender or some other outer stereotypes that negate who they really are exactly what makes the liberal end of politics show a real heart and soul,because they want to see deeper than the surface and choose to read the book instead of gawking at the cover and pretending they've read it so they can act like a jerk?
Bullies don't want to see people deeply because it means they might not be so right with thier might,because they are predatory and reactionary first.Abusers see people as prey or master or a means to an end..Liberals I would hope are more human,observant and wise than that.

21. I see a bunch of frightened men.
I don't know where the fear comes from, exactly. Maybe it's a general fear of losing their dominant place in society after the Civil Rights struggle. Who knows.

I met a few guys like that- and they just seem uneasy, scared... a little paranoid.

Look at the third guy from the left. He looks like he's about to pull out a gun and shoot us. :scared:

14. I really think we should egg them on
Take away Texas from the electoral count and suddenly we're in the majority.

Besides, we can always invade Texas to keep control of the oil. How hard would it be to defeat the TNG when they take in people like Gee Dubya Bee?

25. Oil's running out anyhow
Texas is down to producing a million barrels a day. Has only 5 billion barrels in reserve.

Silly argument, though. They'd have more luck taking their own piece of China.

18. Last I heard,
there was a group looking to take over South Carolina.

It's got some nice scenery, but a lot of right-wing wackos are there already.

19. Wish they'd go ahead and do
it already. They can call themselves Freepland for all I care. Just as long as a big barbed wire fence goes around them to keep them away from us.

30. Sucession?
I really don't care if america is 1 nation or 20.

All I ask is are those barriers really gonna be honest about what we want to seperate ourselves from?

By honest I mean what critera would these liberal states use to exclude someone?
Liking country music?
Wearing camos,
Christianity?,
or being a hunter?

Or would you go deeper than that?

Would you exclude all abusers of power,misusers of freedom,betrayers of trust,moral relativists who excuse torture,rape or abuse,career serial bullies,robber barons, people who believe might makes right especially when they dominate? People who belive some people are just *better* than others? People who do not feel a need to contribute to the commmunity,don't want to help others,or think winners by default always get to take all? People who want to be king,or people who want to be ruled?
Any thoughts?

Thought provoking - and written in such a way that they appear to be virtually stream-of-consciousness. Thanks!
