GOP Lawmaker Asks How He Can Support Bundy's Militia Effort In Oregon

Tennessee state Rep. Andy Holt (R) asked on Twitter early Monday morning how he could support the armed gunmen who have taken over a federal building in rural Oregon under the leadership of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon.

Holt asked, "Where can I send support for your effort?" in a tweet sent just after midnight, which has since been deleted:

1. Well, step one would be renouncing his oath to uphold the Constitution

Step Two would involve renouncing all taxation and learn to start living without public roads and national security

5. I'm sure that he sees it less as an "oath" than a guideline

[KittyWampus]

14. And the Oath to Grover Norquist comes first, anyway.

Nearly all the GOP candidates bow down to Grover Norquist:

15. Yeah. Disgusting.

2. The GOP has very carefully 'educated' its base to absolutely HATE the government.

This is because the corporate masters don't want to have their precious capitalist system blamed by the white working class for its miseries. This is a decades-long bait and switch that began with the 'tax and spend' meme clear back in the 50s and 60s, and then accelerated when Reagan slithered into the White House like the snake he was. It's been exacerbated with homophobia, anti-Muslim, anti-immigration, pro-gun, and racist fear mongering from the hate-talk propaganda organs.

So, this idiot in TN is merely parroting what's been drummed into his head since he was born, basically.

You'll notice he had to take the post down, though. Too much outcry.

3. And yet the government is run by republicans, irony much......are they then to be viewed

as the true enemy of the people

[PatrickforO]

6. No.

That's never been what I'm saying.

Let me try a different tack: There's the way things OUGHT to be and then there's REALITY.

The fact that 20% of our population is crazy, racist, anti-Muslim, homophobic, has fascist tendencies and is HEAVILY ARMED is the germane factor here. In fact, what I'm saying is that it's the elephant in the room.

Besides, Obama and the feds will quietly contain these assholes, just as they did the 'militia' that came out in support of Cliven welfare queen Bundy back in 2014. So this whole argument will be moot and thankfully there won't be an armed uprising of right wing crazies with long dirty beards bearing AK-47s in our respective neighborhoods.

Did you know that there is a large group of people in the military who also hate the civilian government and have agreed to 'rebel' if the civilian government gets too 'out of hand?'

Obama has to be careful here.

That is ALL I'm saying.

10. I understand reality verses the way (I) believe things should be run and completely understood

your reasoning, I just don't fully agree that it is that simple....

Until we can understand more than we presently pretend to know about human biology the faces might change as time passes but the singular roles each human world wide seems destined to play on our living breathing planet remain the same.....

history for the most part has been passed down by those that ruled....thankfully others have shared their experiences on events with less biased interpretations but can we agree that humans are also notorious for embellishing tales to garner more adoring listeners...

even in this day and age and such easy access to more believable facts, humans still ignore reality for the theatrical, it's more than inbred.....

[Bluenorthwest]

13. One problem there, these assholes are the same 'milita' that did the Bundy 2014 thing

The leader of this one is Bundy's son, also named Bundy.

[Protalker]

4. Know your history or repeat it.

All your post is true. Regrettably is was all exorcized by the Texas school book board.

8. So it was. I hear they are stressing obedience to authority now...

[sarisataka]

7. Resign from office /nt

[MohRokTah]

9. This is the same guy who called Nathan Bedford Forrest "the South's first civil rights leader".

Besides being a ruthless Southern General in the America Civil War, Forrest is also known as the creator of the Ku Klux Klan.

11. Volunteering for the RICO prosecution, I see?

Better yet, sieze his assets using section 806 of the patriot act.
