Why do conservatives hate America so much?

----

For months now, the good folks over at the American Family Association have been peddling conspiracy theories alleging that the Department of Homeland Security is stockpiling ammunition and turning into President Obama's private Brownshirt army with the intention of waging civil war on Americans.

The topic again popped up on Bryan Fischer's radio program yesterday when a caller told Fischer that when martial law is implemented, the AFA would be more than welcome to seek protection in Texas, which prompted Fischer to warn that DHS had riot gear and nearly a half-billion rounds of ammunition on hand that "they're going to use ... on Americans" and declare that if Obama is re-elected, "you're going to hear some serious talk about secession in any number of places around America":

1. Well, I hope he gets charged with treason.

He wouldn't do very well in a federal prison.

[RZM]

9. He should be in jail for predicting that people will talk about secession?

By that logic there are people at NPR who should be charged for doing this story on what an independent Texas would be like:

What you're advocating is unconstitutional authoritarianism. It's not a crime to make nutty comments about what people might talk about in the future.

10. HEY....... LET THEM LEAVE. WHO CARES.

[twizzler]

2. I wish he would succeed, right out of the country

and take his flock with him.

[Ikonoklast]

3. What makes him think that Texas will be a safe haven?

Lots of real good Democrats in that state would be more than willing to make certain that Secessionist Scum get a traitor's just due.

4. Can we just let them go this time around?

And then build that electrified border fence they want so much. I'd say good riddance and don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

5. Who needs half a billion rounds of ammo

and riot gear when you've got thousands of M1 Abrams tanks and more fighters, bombers and drones than you could shake a stick at.

Secession nutjobs along with sovereign citizen wackos just don't live in the real world. They vastly overestimate not only their own importance but really lose it when they talk about what kind of power they have.

19. As the Great Sage George Carlin once observed,

"The Army has tanks and flamethowers. We don't. Looks like we're pretty fucked if we try to fight the Army."

[onehandle]

6. Don't let the door hit you on the ass. nt

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. Please, just do it!

Seriously. I, for one, am 100% ready to let the RW freaks fly their flag in their own little Hate Hamlet. Let'em have a few States then wall'em off. We would of course be obligated to offer sanctuary to those future citizens who want out of the hell hole.

8. Why wait....

just leave now

[LynneSin]

11. Can't we find them a plot of land somewhere they can all move to

So they can hate each other and be hateful without interfering with the rest of us !

[lpbk2713]

16. Greenland is thawing out.

There should be plenty of room for them there.

[LynneSin]

17. But is it fair to all those nice greenlanders

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Oh horse feathers!

There's not going to be any such thing! And I'm talking about the Secession nonsense!

[EC]

13. I'm at the point where I wish

this were a promise, not just a threat.

[SoCalDem]

14. May I suggest a one way ticket to Aleppo for them all..Plenty of vacancies there

and they can take Chick-fil-a with them

They can rename the place Chick-a-stan

[Initech]

15. They're not just advocating mere secession here people. They want civil war.

That seems where we're headed if you listen to the divisive, hateful rhetoric they are spewing on a daily basis. They won't admit it but if you look at how many times dipshits like Fischer use these secretive code words and a wink, wink, nudge nudge type attitude - they're getting scarier and scarier, and they won't rest until someone gets killed. Repeatedly.

[hifiguy]

18. Fischer is five cans short of a six-pack.

He might be the last person on earth who can make Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods and Batshit Bachmann sound almost sane.

[gollygee]

20. Oh, please. They would have left four years ago if they really felt that way.

But whatever. Keep up with the theatrics, AFA.

[LongTomH]

21. I hate to keep repeating myself, but...The 'New Normal' in the Republican Party.....

is abnormal. That's the third time today I've had the opportunity to use that 'New Normal' crack, and it's been spot on every time.
