The Ghost of Bobby Lee – Ta-Nehisi Coates – The Atlantic

This isn’t about “honoring” the past–it’s about an inability to cope with the present.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on how – yes – the Confederacy was about slavery and any whitewashing of the past ignores both that truth and that much of the “honoring” of the Confederacy these days has more to do with the racism and fear of “others” in those suggesting that honoring treason is patriotic.

The Rachel Maddow Show – Just in time for the OKC anniversary, a new militia movement in Oklahoma

One of the most haunting and moving experiences I’ve had is visiting the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It really hits you when you are there the depths of the hatred that live in some people’s souls. As a whole, Oklahoma once was unified in it’s opposition to violence as a means of political discourse. They had seen the face of evil and wanted nothing to do with it. The monsters that dwell in this trade are those like McVeigh.

The days of Oklahoma learning a painful lesson in the costs of violent extremism are apparently over.

Oklahoma has moved towards creating a traitor militia. I used to only be ashamed of having lived in Texas. Now chalk up Oklahoma to that list.

Honestly, watching Inhofe and Coburn over recent years has done the job, but this is beyond the pale. These folks – literally – should know better.

Tea Party Movement Spreads To Military | TPMMuckraker

The Tea Bagger Traitors are moving to spread treason throughout our military.

In short, they want our troops to not follow the orders of a black president. That’s it in a nutshell.

If any other entity other than angry white racists were trying to subvert the chain and command system, it would be ruthlessly dealt with as a danger to our nation. Well, maybe not. The Talibangelicals have basically taken over the Air Force already I suppose.

This nation is screwed.

Coddling Treason

Another example of why I still refuse to give a dime to NPR. This morning on the drive in to work, I listened to this piece of shit reporting which tried to make anti-government militias soft and cuddly. Awww. No, actually, they want to violently overthrow the government. Period. I don’t give a damn if they *do* honestly want to help the police once in awhile. Most of their time is spent training how to kill said policemen and other law and defense personnel.

Just the other day, Talking Points Memo hosted an article on how Tea Bagging Traitors are trying to paint a happy face on their racist, secessionist hate prop. At least TPM is aware of what kind of sham argument that is. I mean the Tea Bag candidate for governor of New York state is a lover of racism, pornography, bestiality. The Oklahoma Tea Party isn’t happy with just trying to gain success at the ballot box, it also wants to stock up on guns and ammo and form a militia.

But hey, that’s nothing on Virginia, which demands that you and I honor and commemorate the racists and traitors of the Confederacy.

Traitors get hung. Racists are wrong. Both need to know they are agents of hate and evil and are clearly non-American. Coddling these behaviors and making them feel credible will do nothing to better any of us.

Military: Birther Lieutenant Colonel Under Investigation After Refusing Orders (VIDEO) | TPMMuckraker

Treason in the ranks.

Find this prick guilty, line him up, and let our men and women know that, while they may not like that a black man is giving them orders, they have to obey them. And that’s the point. These racist traitors don’t care whether or not the orders are legally or morally sound (I mean, this is the same ilk who didn’t care about torturing people), but they DO seem to take issue when the Commander in Chief isn’t lily white.

This isn’t America, and these jerks need to either get on board or muster out and join a militia so we can arrest their traitorous kind and throw them behind bars.
