Now those idiot FReepers

[SoCalNative]

Are actually broadcasting their sedition:

"Announcing the 2010 Continental Congress, Spring 2010 in Dallas, TX (Emergency Meeting)

Calling all Patriots! Calling all Patriots! It’s time. We can no longer allow ourselves to be subject to a corrupt, tyrannical Federal Government.

The purpose of this meeting will be to establish a new nation, a parallel country which any state, or portion of a state, is welcome to join. We are NOT seeking to compete in anyway with the United States, but rather, to liberate ourselves from what we believe is tyrannical, rouge Federal Government. Those states and territories that wish to join the new nation will declare themselves FREE from the authority of the Federal Government of the United States. The Federal Government of the United States will be FULLY compensated for ALL Federal property remaining in the vacating territories.

This is NOT a “coup” (Homeland Security need not worry). Our intentions are 100% PEACEFUL, and meant only to establish the framework for a new government. We do NOT intend to remove or replace the current government of the United States; rather, we wish to co-exist as allies and neighbors. We are merely establishing a new nation that will better serve the needs of its constituents.

We do NOT want a revolution. We merely want to peacefully separate in order to pursue our own interests in accordance with the Constitution of the United States. In NO way do we feel that our actions are treasonous. We are unable to sit idly by while the Federal Government abuses it’s authority by overreaching into the affairs of citizens and the states.

We are 100% committed to the U.S. Constitution and the first 15 Amendments, and the 19th Amendment. Any new governing body would be established in full accordance thereof.

Points of order to be discussed at the Second Continental Congress are as follows:

No United States legislation or Judicial decisions will be carried over to the new nation, but prior legislation and court decisions may be re-enacted by a vote of the newly formed Congress, or review by the newly formed courts."

1. Good riddance.

I hope they like living in Freeperstan.

[DFLforever]

2. It give them something positive to do

instead of simply fomenting outright sedition.

They'd better bring there spell- check to the new continental congress.

Jefferson and Madison are heavy-duty competition.

[shraby]

3. I wonder what funds they will use to fully compensate

the Federal government for ALL Federal property remaining in the vacating territories. Aren't these the people who want NO taxes?

[Mojambo]

4. They've got to escape the tyranny of the "rouge" Federal government! n/t

[Ken Burch]

6. But can they oppose "rouge" without alienating the "base"?

It will make it hard for them to create a "shadow" government, or "highlight" their views on policy. And they can't even put "lipstick" on a pig anymore.

[chollybocker]

18. A "rouge" is worth one point

in Canadian football.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouge_(football)

Sounds suspiciously foreign to me... ;)

[Ozymanithrax]

5. Now thats uggly right there.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. "A tyrannical, rouge federal government"?

:rofl:

But seriesly. I hope they enjoy their new lives in the Republic of Dumbfuckistan, a country that will soon find itself flat broke, since freepers don't believe in taxes.

[ChicagoSuz219]

23. Love the name!! LMAO!! n/t

[tulsakatz]

45. haha..........I thought the same thing!!

before they actually go rogue, they need to learn how to spell it!!

[NYC_SKP]

8. Brown Alert? OMG!

I love it when they get worked up.

It's then that they really let their bigotry show.

Dayum.

[LonePirate]

9. Where was all of this anger when * stole our rights, gutted the treasury and wrecked the economy?

[Grand Taurean]

10. Lincoln was too kind to your ancestors, FReepers.

Not going to happen.

[gratuitous]

11. Yeah, right

These overfed, underworked, photophobic fuckheads can't work a light switch. Color me bored, but slightly amused.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Uh oh. Doomed to Failure. This part right here is gonna lose 97% of 'em.

"...Amendment 19 will be adopted, and will be hereby known as Amendment 16. Amendment 20 will be adopted, and will be hereby known as Amendment 17. Amendment 22 will be adopted, and will be hereby known as Amendment 18. Amendment 25 will be adopted, and will be hereby known as Amendment 19. Amendment 27 will be adopted, and will be hereby known as Amendment 20..."

:rofl:

[ChicagoSuz219]

24. Save me a google...

Which one's 19? I'm spacing out...

Thanks!

[Joe the Liberal]

32. Gives women the right to vote I believe. n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

36. Yup. Dead on.

[NYC_SKP]

37. Yep. I was surprised they didn't toss 15, right to vote regardless of race. n/t

[Joe the Liberal]

39. Yea me too......

I guess they realize that only about 1-2 people of color would actually join them in their little utopia. So they (the minorities) would be able to vote but not enough to actually change anything, they probably think minorities are to dumb and lazy to vote anyways.

They figure "Lets keep the 15th to make it look like we're not racist, one or two black people won't make a difference in our new (white) nation".

[ChicagoSuz219]

42. And they want to keep that? I'm shocked!! ;-) n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

29. Rule number 6: There is no rule number six. Rule number 7:

Rule number 7 will now be known as rule number 6.

[PBS Poll-435]

49. So THIS is why you are coming to Dallas?

:(
















:D

[NYC_SKP]

50. Damn, Busted!

I've been found out, but don't give away my cover.

The prius, the iPhone, interest in education and environment, support for Obama.... all a front.

:evilgrin:

[kestrel91316]

13. "......tyrannical, rouge federal government......"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The morans have struck again!!!!

[RagAss]

14. And a free bowl of soup for the first 15 people in the door !

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Odin2005]

15. They've gone off the deep end.

[geek tragedy]

16. Sounds like what I read on DU these days.

DU and FR finally found a cause that can unite them.

[ericinne]

17. Yeah, I can read between those lines.

We do NOT want a revolution. We merely want to peacefully separate in order to pursue our own interests in accordance with the Constitution of the United States.

In other words, they want to ensure WELFARE help from America when their utopia goes to shit. :puke:

[Grand Taurean]

22. "Homeland Security need not worry"

Yes, they should worry as all of us should worry.
Seen a Tea Party? We all know what their intent is.

[tulsakatz]

47. ok, now I'm confused........

they want to separate from the US govt to achieve their own interests but they want the separation to be in accordance with the constitution of the US?

That doesn't make any sense........but then again it's not surprising that it doesn't.........

[Initech]

19. Funny because when Bush was in power they didnt give a shit about the constitution.

[ThoughtCriminal]

20. Can we just buy these nuts an island?

It's not like they are worried that sea level will ever rise, and making Lord of the Flies into a reality show might even pay for it.

[Politicalboi]

26. LOL!

Sounds like a winner to me.

[my2sense]

27. Let them have Alaska and they get Palin as a bonus! n/t

[Joe the Liberal]

35. Hell no.....

Alaska is a beautiful state that they would just shit all over.

[MUAD_DIB]

30. There may be a few Atolls that the USA used to nuke that may be available.

And that way, with global warming, some of or troubles will soon be gone.

[OnyxCollie]

21. Start reserving the Porta-Potties now!

[MUAD_DIB]

25. The Constitution of the United States of America

Article IV

Section: 3

New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any other state be formed by the junction of two or more states; or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of Congress.

So would Governor "Goodhair" Perry just hand over a few hundred thousand acres to these nuts? No, he wouldn't. No Governor, Senator or legislature (Republican or Democratic) is going to cut their states into pieces because these nutbags ask them to: definitely not so they could be "well-meaning" pals with no ill will in any way.

Oh, are minorities welcome? Liberals? If I decide that my house, in the middle of one of these free-rage nut asylums, is part of the old state how long would it be before I was burned out or murdered?


I find these FR claims to be dubious...

Our intentions are 100% PEACEFUL, and meant only to establish the framework for a new government.

We do NOT intend to remove or replace the current government of the United States; rather, we wish to co-exist as allies and neighbors.

We do NOT want a revolution.

We merely want to peacefully separate in order to pursue our own interests in accordance with the Constitution of the United States. They must have missed the above Article IV, Section 3.


I find these FR claims to be just moronic...

We can no longer allow ourselves to be subject to a corrupt, tyrannical Federal Government.They must have missed 8 years of Dubya.

This is NOT a “coup” (Homeland Security need not worry).

We are merely establishing a new nation that will better serve the needs of its constituents. See KKK for details...

[ChicagoSuz219]

28. I'm not totally against the idea...

Everytime I hear the expression "Two-State Solution," I find myself wondering if it would work here. Give them Texas & Alaska - minus the oil rights. They have to write their own Constitution - I'm sure it will be some bizarro-version of ours. Give up all entitlements to any US benefits, including HCR, the military, homeland security, Medicare, Social Security, etc. They could elect Sarah & Michelle. Make McCain Defense Minister (of a non-existent army). They could declare war on Iran (just them, not us) & use their rifles to fight them, and so on...

Whaddya think?

[my2sense]

31. As long as the sane folks are allowed to escape first n/t

[ChicagoSuz219]

40. Oh, absolutely!!

Any teabaggers/freepers from other states could move there.

[MUAD_DIB]

34. No. They can have nothing and like it. They're free-range douchebags.

On edit: My great, great grandfather didn't fight, and nearly die, for the security of the Union just for this rabble to thump their chest and start the whole bullshit all over again.

If they considered to even try to make that a possibility then I would do what he did and fight, and if necessary die, for the security of the USA.

[ChicagoSuz219]

41. I'm just sick of seeing/hearing them...

"Lots of sound & fury, signifying nothing."

[Caliman73]

51. I still say no.

The idea of them leaving to form their new dumbass country is fine, but in no way should any citizen or resident of the United States of America, not even 1, have to move to allow these clowns to have their racist little utopia. Every state in this country bound itself to the union and the constitution does not allow for secession. If they want to break up the union then they are calling for civil war plain and simple. They can leave whenever they feel like it but they cannot take ANY part of this country with them.

[lib_wit_it]

52. I don't know about you, but I am totally not kidding in my agreement with this. Not totally sure of

the details, but let the RWers start their own theocratic state and fight their own fucking wars and otherwise suffer the consequences of their moronic philosophies and policies.

One thing I worry about--what if they declare all blacks in residence to henceforth return to slavery? OK, I'm only half serious on that point.

[Marr]

33. So buy a boat and get the fuck out.

They seem to think they should be allowed to annex part of the United States.

[Joe the Liberal]

38. Why do they want the 19th amendment?......

I thought all freepers were a bunch of sexist pigs.

[RB TexLa]

43. I do hope someone has informed Craig Watkins and Lupe Valdez about this

[old mark]

44. I hope they have a wonderful time, spend a ton of money and waste a lot

of effort that would have gone to the GOP's "real" candidates.

I guess we can stop sending out their social security and medicare and their unemployment checks, too.

Save some money right there to help pay off their defecit spending.


mark

[Ishoutandscream2]

46. Gotta give some of them credit

Even some of the Freeps are recognizing what lunacy this is.

[OnionPatch]

48. Couldn't we please, please just let them go?!

We'd be so much better off. They could go have their "freedom" from any societal responsibilities and the rest of us can build a country to be proud of.

[Dappleganger]

53. I hear there's a giant floating island of garbage somewhere in the Pacific

which would probably welcome some new inhabitants.

[Urban Prairie]

55. +1

I thought of that as well, just give them that gigantic floating mass of plastic between HI & CA to live on..they could call it the country of DUBYA, but we should at least give them the option of permitting their kids to leave it, if they do not have the same mindless and selfish RWer ideology as their parents have.

[NeedleCast]

54. Lulz

It's sad they take themselves this seriously. They remind me of eight year olds at play.

[Dogtown]

56. Oh, that'll work!

:eyes:
