The lunatic Adam Yoshida posted an excerpt from his new e-book, in which he fantasizes about glorious battle against the United States. And, of course, the Freepers are all for it.
The thread is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2990041/posts
Sample responses:
In any case... God help us.
I believe the time has come, that for each county throughout each of the states, that county Tea Party should convene and choose 2 representatives to attend a Tea Party convention of their state, which will in turn debate and then consider and elect 2 representatives of their state, to attend a unique Tea Party national convention for the purpose of establishing a Second Continental Congress.
Setting the time and place for a first setting of the Second Continental Congress, then the unique national convention shall adjourn, and the representatives return to their states, where the Tea Party conventions of each state, will then take into consideration, who shall be their 2 representatives in the Second Continental Congress.
I believe, it is time to follow in the steps of our Founding Fathers, and create a new ship of state, to which our allegiance and love of our worthy American heritage and many foundations, shall transfer.
I believe, that *everybody* needs to see this preparation and action.
If the existing federal government fails us and takes one more step toward tyranny on which it has proven to be hell-bent, then we know, as Benjamin Franklin et al knew, it is time.
We must have a new democratic-republic to be where people can again be free from government tyranny, and we must, thru starting with a Second Continental Congress, make a good government, which will very likely be framed as the first but with a few refinements regarding how we may better limit government and that includes the courts.
Answer: No.
Response: It will be a Social War,in essence Left vs. Right with a large racial element. The First American Civil War was a political war; i.e. could the States withdraw from the union at will.

(67,102 posts)line. Those with big megaphones are pushing sedition, but they get a free pass. Just how far will they be allowed to go, spreading false information to those with limited information and insight into what is going on, basically inciting sedition.

(43,166 posts)I wonder if Mr. Rocket Surgeon there realized that there was already a Second Continential Congress. There the ones who, you know, ratified the Declaration of Independence.
History fail.
Aristus
(66,310 posts)I guess in the vast, whistling vacuum of what is laughingly known as his mind, 'Second Continental Congress' is shorthand for 'rebellious order'.
If this dickbrain actually knew anything about American history, he would know that shortly after the SCC convened in 1775, they re-iterated their support for and loyalty to the British Crown, just as the FCC had in 1774.
God! Freepers are such idiots!

(6,001 posts)my ex wifes son was dating an African American girl through highschool and they were madly in love.She was smart and just an amazing person who was so good for him but they talked about breaking up because they were so worried about raising biracial children.
After I talked to them both for an hour or so they went ahead with the relationship and are now the happily married parents of two children.
Don't try to talk to me about that.

kentauros
(29,414 posts)In case you weren't aware (and I do get that impression) we are the United States of America, not the North and South States of America. We take the good with the "bad" and we are compassionate enough to give to all. There is no "subsidizing", there is only supporting everyone for the good of the entire nation as a whole!
As usual with most South-haters, there's nothing in your profile to tell me where it is that you live. How about updating that for the rest of us, so we know from where on the continent (or in the ocean) this hate is coming.

Why is "The South" the first place "Yankee" DUers think of when posting these "let them have their own nirvana" comments? Utah, Oklahoma and Kansas are far more conservative that most of the South.

Proved me wrong. That sounds just the same. Are you sure you're not just copying the same FR post?
RZM
(8,556 posts)Nowadays it's not uncommon to cite a single post, tweet, or whatever from a nameless yahoo and say that it reflects upon anybody and everybody who shares some of that person's basic beliefs.
That's the MO of a lot of trolls and disruptors here. Post some scary-sounding bullshit and hope that the gullible show up and cheer it on.
I also wonder if you've been sarcastic this whole time and actually agree with me. I'm not quite sure. If you are, I didn't pick up on it.
