Oh darn those college volunteers with their affinity for hacky-sack & Che Guevara!

It's going to be another long, reality-deprived year from the GOP Operatives. Apparently, some young volunteer for the Obama campaign had the temerity to set up an office in Texas BEFORE Obama's actual staffers arrived in Texas. This included someone taking something off their dorm room wall, a Cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara on it. This sent Captain Ed to the nitro tablets and asthma respirator.

It seems someone hasn't been on a college campus in thirty-five years. Where youthful affectation with revolucion long ago replaced pictures of "Happiness is a Warm Puppy". Oh those kids today with their I-Phones, their I-Pods, and their I-deas.

Up next, college-age Hillary Volunteer wears "Bush Sucks" T-Shirt. Ed Morrissey faints.

Kids, stay off Cap'n Ed's lawn!

But of course, as John Cole reminds us, we know what the role of Ed Morrissey is in the GOP:

They regurgitate exactly and put up on their blogs what you said to them. It is something that we’ve cultivated and have really tried to put quite a bit of focus on.

But hey, let us move off what some college kid did and move on to what the Adult Republican Party of Texas does -- something Cap'n Blah never bothers to consider, as noted by Robert Farley of Lawyers, Guns, and Money has as platform planks these classics:

* The Party calls for the United States monetary system to be returned to the gold standard. Since the Federal Reserve System is a private corporation, has no reserves, and is not subject to taxation or audit, we call on Congress to abolish this institution and reassume its authority, enumerated by Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, for the coinage of money.
* The party opposes the decriminalization of sodomy....We publicly rebuke judges Chief Justice Murphy and John Anderson, who ruled that the 100 year-old Texas sodomy law is unconstitutional, and ask that all members of the Republican Party of Texas oppose their re-election.
* We urge that the IRS be abolished and the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution be repealed. A constitutional tax, collected and controlled by the States, must generate sufficient revenue for the legitimate tasks of the national government.
* The Party believes the minimum wage law should be repealed.
* The Party believes it is in the best interest of the citizens of the United States that we immediately rescind our membership in, as well as all financial and military contributions to, the United Nations.
* The Party urges Congress to support HJR 77, the Panama and America Security Act, which declare the Carter-Torrijos Treaty null and void. We support re-establishing United States control over the Canal in order to retain our military bases in Panama, to preserve our right to transit through the Canal, and to prevent the establishment of Chinese missile bases in Panama.

Cap'n Ed also attended CPAC last week and somehow he managed not to take offense at all sorts of memorabilia on sale there, including this item about Senator Clinton which is classy with a K.

But oh those kids.
