Harry Riley, founder of “Operation American Spring,” promised to amass a crowd of 10 million to 30 million armed patriots to march on the nation's capitol, to force Obama out of office. Apparently, Harry missed his projected turnout by a factor of a million or so. The Administration must surely be quaking in their boots.
Real patriots don't go to any fucking mall. The definition of a mall is a place where they are selling things that only shallow people buy into. It's a place to be seen and the is about it.
Yes, I cringed when EP compared The Mall to a mall (as in shopping mall) in general. Maybe he was joking. Anyway, I was there a couple of years ago. I won't go back to D.C. unless it's somehow business related.
You think I didn't know that when I made the post? It's still a "look at me" place. Otherwise they would be there enjoying the museums and not protesting to be seen.
But they're the TEA Party -! They're gonna "take American back" - and apparently give it to fat middle-aged white guys in jeans and camo. Where are the leaders? Where's Michelle Bachmann and Ann Coulter? Didn't they get the memo?
No change for the people is ever going to come from DC. DC will be the last battlefield where they surrender the sword. The government wants absolute control of the people, you are not going to stop it by dancing in their front yard.
D.C. is a gun-free zone. Once they cross the border en route to wherever they come from, all bets are off.
Oh, hey, look who's mocking and dismissive toward Americans who want government to go back to its strictly defined bounds. And guess who will be telling us, any time now, that they're not authoritarian asswardens.
For the dozens of people who have him on ignore, John Castle just posted another one of his rants: "omg you people are authoritarian because you don't share the delusions of the fools Chardman is laughing at!" A handful of paranoid idiots behaving like paranoid idiots really has nothing to do with any meaningful political dialogue.
Yeah, that's the funny part. But the even funnier part is that everybody can see that. Y'know what, gul? Bring the game or keep your ass firmly planted and your lips firmly sealed. 'kay? Not for me. They say laughter is the best medicine, and your hopeless, useless flailing is gonna have me immortal from the guffaws soon. Do it for you. Been tellin' ya, spud, you're not playing to the audience you think you're playing to.
Oh, should I play to the one in your fantasies, not gonna happen. Now go drink another liter of cheap vodka and pass out. Every time you take a break, this place is better for it.
Non seulement vous êtes mal, vous êtes fait de crème sure antique! Je vais voler décorations vaginales de votre épouse et de les vendre à des phénomènes de cirque! Entendez-vous la laitue et des tomates! Je ferai pleuvoir concombres sur vous comme le Dieu courroucé de la barre de salade! Maintenant tenir compte de mon commandement! Descendez et boogie et de jouer cette musique géniale jusqu'à la mort!
This is so unfair. I'm desperately trying to resist putting you on ignore, and now you're handing 90% of WFers an auto-ignore. You're rewarding everyone that doesn't know French. I realize rewarding ignorance is a large part of your political ethos, but this comes down to really bad pacing. You've been heading towards a major meltdown for weeks, if not months, and this whimper is all we get?
Non! Ah weel smack ch00 weeth my Genesis Kwah! We already got one! (Ah tol' heem a-wee arreadeh got one!)
Operation American Spring falls flat: "This is very disappointing," Texan says Gives a whole new meaning to the term "sunshine patriots."
It would have been pretty stupid for the millions of armed patriots to all gather in a fairly small geographic area, all standing there together nice and neat so the military could drop a couple of daisy cutters on them and greatly reduce the ranks of the armed patriots in one fell swoop. Cause you know that's what a real despotic regime would do with a heavily armed force approaching it's base of operations.
if you would have admitted you didn't know what you were talking about (as always), you could have retained your dignity. And what the hell is that backpeddling smiley called?
Castle, you have to admit that if there's going to be any change, people are going to have to walk the walk. If the Tea Party weren't made up of rabid individualists, they might have a better shot at it.
