What Happened To "United We Stand"? Now, Republicans Love To Say "Secede!"
It was only a few years ago that most Americans commemorated 9-11 with United We Stand remembrances. Now, Republicans and right wingers preach secession and armed insurrection.

That was then:

This is now:

If a Democrat pulled this secession crap, or was affiliated with such a group, their political career would be over. However, with Republicans, they end up as a VP candidate.

'Time To Secede' and 'God Bless America'.

OK, if you secede, guess what, you don't get to be 'America' any more. You can be Shitstainistan.

4. Yep, same as "Secede Sounds Good" with the American flag touching it.

It's bizarre how these people just don't make the connection in their tiny pea brains. Btw, I took that "Secede Sounds Good" picture when I ventured into my local teabagger shindig to observe and document the trainwreck, so I'm happy to see it here. :rofl:

3. Let them secede. Hell, we should ENCOURAGE it.
It would be a lot easier for Democrats to with the presidency if you take all of the deep-red states' electoral votes out of the mix, and think of the super-majority we would have in Congress.

The US could finally join the rest of the civilized world, and these idiots could have their dumbfuckistan.

5. And let's not forget all those "Country First" GOP campaign signs in 2008.
I guess that meant "Country First until we lose-- then secession!"

6. LET Texas secede
Then, all the US would have to do is pick a fight with them, conquer them - and then, they would have to do whatever we wanted!!!

10. If the Prez were a white man they'd be united
Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 08:24 AM by lunatica
Not so much with a black Prez. Pat Buchanan has made that abundantly clear. White men built this country. Now some uppity muslim Kenyan Commie Pinko Socialist Afro-Leninist wants to reap all the rewards of their hard labor?! They DON'T THINK SOOO!
