Man, Perry is sure tryin’ to beef up his reichwing Christianist bona fides. Haven’t seen or heard much from Junior since Daddy FatFuck died.

See, he’s not one of them weird Mormons. Make no mistake.
This is not meant as a light hearted comment. I’m was being seriously snarky.

Of course, the Secessionist now denies he ever called for secession…

…thus proving that, among his many other faults, Perry doesn’t grasp the power of the Internet, in whose orisons are all his sins remember’d.

Haven’t seen or heard much from Junior since Daddy FatFuck died.

I knew my life was blessed in ways I couldn’t even name.

I say cut them all loose, from Texas to South Carolina, and everything else in between. They all get more fed money back than they pay in, they are the unproductive, obese, ignorant part of the country that is perpetually screwing up every good idea the intelligent people in the rest of the country come up with. Let them secede, we should be looking at it as an opportunity. Their best and brightest would immediately migrate out along with the majority of their wealth. They’d be governed by a bunch of morons who in a short time would be begging us to let them back into the country, after they realize that its the other parts of the country that provide for their high standard of living, with our technology, medical research, our taxes, drugs, etc. that they could never achieve on their own. Let them be their own third world country for a while instead of letting them drag us down with them……. Cut ‘em loose !!!!

Al Gore invented it, so it must be fake.

It’s only necessary to seceed when evil secular humanists of a darker hue rule the country. Or something.

Slow down champ. I’m a Texan. So it Blue Texan. So is carguy, as are a number of other respected and insightful commentators here.

And last I checked Texas paid more to the Fed than they got back.

But please don’t let facts get in the way of your rant.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but technically, Texas is a net-donor state when it comes to federal dollars.

‘Tis true.

Maybe peruse this.

Heh. Ninety seven percent of scientists agree that Perry said he wants Texas to seceed. Therefore the other 3 percent must be correct.

He’s just saying that it’s not accepted by all scientists, so it’s really just a theory. You know, like evolution and gravity.

We’ve come full circle. The Religious Right got into the political arena during the 1970s after the feds decided not to give a tax exemption to segregated academies, most of which were located in the South. Jerry Falwell, Jr., has taken the movement back to its Confederate roots.

Good thing Margaret’s at work. She’d be on this like white on rice. *g*

How many other preachers have inherited their daddy’s business? Franklin Graham comes to mind.

… or the wet characteristic of water.

Good to “see” ya, Kris! I miss yer snark.

There’s a reason the KKK burns crosses, and it’s not because they’re agnostics.

When I was a kid preachers were lucky to be able to put food on the familytable, much less hand something down other than clothes.

My first thought on reading that stupid little rant was ” shit, I wish Margaret was here.” Just because it would have been so much fun to watch.

The Fiery Cross is a call to war. Started by the Scots a long time ago. That’s where the last k, klan came from.
Did you know that?

Yep, and from Wikipedia:

“The burning of the cross was also used during the second Klan as a symbol of Christian fellowship, and its lighting during meetings was steeped in Christian prayer, the singing of hymns, and other overtly religious symbolism.”

Did you see that you and I were called out for trying to lure the teenagers who read this site to the dark side?

I did not know that. Interesting.

Lucky for this guy. Sheesh.

You got that right. I’d either stay home and watch or go back to work and get nothing done cuz I’d be watchin’.

She missed me and I’m the one who started it.

Robert Schuller’s son

Enough with the threats, Texas! Secede already!

Another rocket scientist. Sure can tell silly season’s here.

Whatch gonna do. Maybe I shouldn’t have responded, but I just couldn’t help myself.
Thanking the universe that we’re not all the same, that’s for certain.

Ack! I didn’t know Falwell left a jr. behind who lurches in his sire’s footprints.

Maybe FDL should be rated R to protect the children. The foul mouthed fem pinko commie librul porch sitting types around here are a corrosive influence./s

please?

I can hardly criticize Perry for wanting Texas to secede, as I fervently wish Vermont would secede! Progressives shouldn’t reflexively dismiss states rights. Think of all the areas the Feds overrule the states….from regulating telecoms and legalizing marijuana, not to mention establishing their own single-payer health insurance.

Ha! If you’re under 18, you should ask mommy if it’s okay to come here. And, bring the permission slip.

The Secessionist made a pilgrimage to Liberty University this week to kiss the ring ass of Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Went ahead and fixed it for ya…

Another rocket scientist

Takin’ up the slack for that NASA budget cutbacks, I guess…

. . . daughter . . .

So, the hajj to Bob Jones U. can’t be far behind.

Yep. I heard the son couldn’t cut it.
No link. My mom told me that.

Yes, apparently the Father and the Son couldn’t get their Holy Spirits to like each other. Or something . . .

hajj

I’m gonna get some mileage out of that one. Throw it in some wingnut faces…

“Hey Wingnut: How about some bacon with your Hajj…?

Time for Texans that can still think for themselves and are unwilling to be nothing more than serfs to immigrate. Texas will be/is the first causality of the consequences of global climate change and will only be of value for training astronauts in preparation of a Martian landscape.

and there is always Oral Roberts University.

“Last October, Schuller surprised some outsiders by ousting his son, Robert A. Schuller, from the leadership of the ministry.”

So, I guess neither the son nor the daughter actually ran/run the ministry since the old man still wields beheading power.

Thanks for the update. I missed that.

Alle neat stuff goes on when I’m workin’ and lookin’ t’other way, seems like.

Yus, someone’s verra lucky Margaret wasn’t “here”.

And … demi and SD be part of the forces of weevil and the dark side?

I just miss way too much funny and off-da-wall stuff … these daze.

;~DW

End of Morning Swim. It’s short but not sweet.
PS – I love children. Especially with some sweet and sour sauce.

I’m glad your so optimistic about our future.

Actually, the U.S. seems to have outlived its usefulness as a political entity. Save for supporting retirees on SS and Medicare (including myself) who’ll pay dearly for the breakup, maybe this is the time to let the whole thing disolve. If just one STATE secedes, every other state, district (coastal, mountain, southern, etc.) and local political unit will give secession serious thought (and might as well). Even the county I live in would probably split, and eastern Washington state has wanted to separate from the western “half” for years. As the song says, no one likes anyone very much anymore, and while that has always been true, at least we could mostly force ourselves to coexist. When we couldn’t, finally, we killed 600,000 of our fellow citizens deciding the issue. Now, instead of killing each other to find some kind of winner (with dozens of issues separating us, how can any faction really win?), why don’t we declare the experiment over, and declare the old national contract null and void. Am I tired of the issue? You bet! Am I tired of being blackmailed with the issue by secessionists? You bet! Let ‘em go; bring back the overseas armies, redistribute the nukes, create trade agreements between the new nation states (or state nations), and start from scratch. No one will be happy until we do it.

I’ll admit, been a little hot and dry this year. But, the alleged “global warming” will consume almost HALF of Florida with the rise of sea level. Manhattan will be under water too. Oh, we’ll lose Galveston and Padre Island for sure and my snooty brother-in-law’s new bay house in Rockport. But, we’ll get by just fine. “Silver lining”??? My house will be closer to the beach.

Don’t judge by just one…or two……maybe four crazy, lunatic governors. aHHHHHHH, maybe five and a couple of alcoholic senators. But THAT’S IT.

It’s just not so easy to pick the perfect place to live.
There’s a new post up stairs. Check out the photo.
Let’s all move to the Cayman Islands.

;~D

There is that whole closer to the beach thing that remains very atractive.

Eh? There’s lots of sources, including footage, of Perry calling for secession, replete with Teahadists clapping, cheering & whistling for same? No problema, folks. The corporate-owned fascist propoganda media will just say that it never happened, and toot sweet: boo-yah! It never happened. And Teahadists will clap, cheer, hoot ‘n hollar, yadda yadda.

Yeah: Perry does the haj to kiss a Falwell @sshole. Said @sshole actually tells the truth but revels in the cognitive dissonance, and the Teahadists go wild: huzzah huzzah! We IS teh bestest!!

Oh the humanity….

If we ever get the really Big One and the whole coast slides into the ocean, I’ll be sitting on beach front property. If it happens, you and cbl and the whole dang brood can come live with us. Just need a bunch of bunk beds.

Holy crap! I didn’t even know there WAS a Jerry Falwell Jr.

(Oh no not again…)

Yes I think we should all secede and leave the two bubble universes, Manhattan and Washington D.C. as the USA.
They are the only ones benefiting from the Wall Street economy, full of morons and lunatics who think the rest of us suck. Then every state could be free to have it’s own culture, it’s own laws and live in accordance with it’s own economy. No more war, unless Manhattan and D.C. can manage to fund it on their own, maybe they could. California would be free to be what it wants to be, Texas what it wants to be. And if you don’t like it, you can move.
Pick your culture. I’m liking it. All the federal government does is rob and tyrannize us and force programs down our throats that we don’t want and can’t afford. I’d like them to stop destroying agriculture in California for one thing.

Maybe we’ve finally hit upon a viable third party–the Secessionist Party. Seriously, the time has come. Does anyone know, it both houses vote on it and the prez signs it, can the U.S. disolve itself?

Makes me wonder if he also had sex with his mother in an outhouse lol.

Oooooh, demi’s got a dark side! I love it.

We should let Texas secede. Then we can invade them and take their oil. It’s a win-win, and the American Way. /s

Secession was bullshit in 1861 and its still bullshit. Where is Gen.Sherman now that we need him more than ever.

Oral- they have a university for that now? deeyam

has the free market put out the fires in texas yet?

sherman? ask native americans about sherman.
