WHERE IS OUR JOURNALISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY PULITZER?

Your Wonkette Teabagging Photo Tour, Part I

It is time. You must see what we have seen. There will be more, and they will be worse. This shitty, muddy, 500-person national protest with NO TEABAGS. Prepare to GO GALT.

Hey lady, Obama is the *other way.* TURN AROUND, and then maybe he’ll consider resigning so that the English Parliament guy on YouTube can take over.

Ha ha sucks to be you! Go play soccer or whatever it is the kids do. (Look at Internet pornography.) Or maybe go to school on this school day.

We saw a group that was about 99% black people, and whoa hey, what a mindfuck! Didn’t they know that it was unsafe for them at the teabagging festival, because of racism? But then it turned out they were just a school group taking the usual walking tour, ha. Still: run!

Shut the FUCK up.

This was the best sign of the day, in the non-ironic sense. Tax slavery does suck!

This lady has offered the beginnings of a delicious beverage! MMM. This could be the next wingnut fad, in which Fox News and Dick Armey would urge protesters to show up in various municipal parks to drink sweet herbal vaginal rinse together.

What the kid on the right is trying to say is that he’s roofied Obama’s tea.

When these kids are in jail for various meth/assault weapons charges, they will remember this day as something of a turning point.

Haw haw u is going to debtor’s prison.

The afternoon climaxed with a mud orgy of umbrella-fucking.

SICK OF TEA PARTY TAX DAY YET? Somehow we are not, yet. More to come!

    That photo with the sign reading “I dont want to drink Obama’s tea” is fairly counter-productive to the cause, one would think. But whatever I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!11!

  2. The Helvetica Scenario says at 4:21 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Hannah Montana for president?

  3. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:21 pm, April 15th, 2009

    That’s right, lady. You are the silent majority no more. Now, you are the MINORITY. Continue being silent, though.

  4. Yes You Can Own A Piece of History says at 4:22 pm, April 15th, 2009

    The socialist teleprompter sign forgot to mention Acorn and Muslins.

  5. John Galt would crush you like a bug, buddy, and never look back.

  6. slappypaddy says at 4:23 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Did Atlas shrug because he couldn’t figure out what the fuck they thought they were really going to accomplish?

  7. chascates says at 4:23 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Where’s all the GOP celebs? Where’s the big-shot senators & congressthings?

  8. DC Hates Me says at 4:24 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Hey, some people have work today to support your teabagging, cosplaying, pseudo-terrorism. GET A JOB, YOU LAISSEZ FAIRIES!

  9. That teabag lady has scary teeth. I don’t think she’s going to get any takers on her offer.

  10. The Helvetica Scenario says at 4:24 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I feel bad for those kids forced to protest in the rain by their wingnut parents. Those moms look genuinely scary. I honestly has a sad now. :(

  11. psilage says at 4:24 pm, April 15th, 2009

    oh wow. today wonkette haz 1000% FTW

  12. pondscum says at 4:25 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I’m going out on a limb here and guess that the fat chick who didn’t pay her taxes is unemployed.

  13. thatonegirlsays says at 4:25 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Haw haw u is going to debtor’s prison. I got a good belly laugh out of that one.

    I sometimes forget there are two Amurkas; the one where people finish high school and the one where people drop out in 8th grade and forget every single bit of spelling and grammar they learned. These signs are PAINFUL to read. ELLIPSES ARE NOT THE ONLY KIND OF PUNCTUATION YOU CAN USE IN SENTENCES.

    PS: Wherefore art the RonPaultrolls today? Are they all still teabagging Nobama? I need some entertainment.

  14. Canadian Rap Star Flavour Flav says at 4:25 pm, April 15th, 2009

    If it’s a silent majority, those of us in the vocal majority will each have to vow to punch TWO people in the face.

    I just can’t get over this; do people not remember that there was an election six months ago, and Obama, who won handily, is now doing exactly what he said he would do?

    I hate everyone today, but most especially the fucktards in these pictures.

  15. BadKitty says at 4:26 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Maybe the “silent majority” should have fucking voted? Cause otherwise I’m pretty sure you’re the big-mouthed shit-for-brains minority.

  16. drrty martini says at 4:26 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Visions of these morans are going to haunt me next time I try to get some good tea-baggin’ on. Assholes.

  17. yourwildhorses says at 4:26 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Aaah, clever clever debtor’s prison guy is another one of those “NO MORE TAXES / STOP CUTTING MILITARY FUNDING” people. Makes perfect sense.

  18. Fruit Machine says at 4:26 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I usually put 2-3 lumps of sugar in my douchebag tea.

  19. bricks says at 4:26 pm, April 15th, 2009

    You won’t drink his tea, but you’ll let him dip his big brown nutsack in your mouth?

    Way to be conflicted, kid.

  20. Lemming Caution says at 4:27 pm, April 15th, 2009

    “Stop Cutting Defense”

    This shit makes my head hurt so bad. There’s just no way of convincing people that a 4% increase does not, somehow, amount to a “cut.” Or that the Secretary of Defense is not a secret ACORN operative for suggesting we not make one type of fighter jet anymore.

    The phrase “silent majority” just makes me break out in hives all over.

    I’d like to take that one lady’s pointy American flag umbrella for a spin through that crowd. Instead, I think I’ll make “Tea Party Day” into “Beer Day.”

  21. loquaciousmusic says at 4:27 pm, April 15th, 2009

    This makes me SO SAD that I had to work today and couldn’t go to New Haven and see the “Tea Party.”

    I made up for it, though, by talking with my students about the Tenth Amendment, because we’re studying the Little Rock Central High desegregation in 1957. At one point, I said, “If there’s a dispute between the federal government and a state’s government, who wins every time?”

    “FEDERAL!!!” they yelled enthusiastically.

    Ah, youth.

  22. Doglessliberal says at 4:28 pm, April 15th, 2009

    drrty martini: Yeah. One perfectly respectable sex act: ruined forever.

  23. elburrito says at 4:28 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Someday I’m gonna lie to my grandkids and tell them I did the mud slide at Retardstock!

  24. Internally valid says at 4:28 pm, April 15th, 2009

    “I am the silent majority no more”

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  25. chascates says at 4:28 pm, April 15th, 2009

    95% of these people are not going to have any higher taxes! And 90% couldn’t have made it all the way through Atlas Shrugged.

  26. ManchuCandidate says at 4:28 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Mighty white of these people.

  27. JDHART says at 4:29 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I think if the cameras didn’t show up, neither would Fox News … I mean the tea baggers. I mean really? They’re not paying taxes? Have they ever met anyone from the IRS? Good luck with that.

  28. Atheist Nun says at 4:29 pm, April 15th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Exactly. And… is she wearing a K-Lo sweatshirt?!?

  29. KilgoreTrout_XL says at 4:29 pm, April 15th, 2009

    That chick forgot the tax bill but not the cheeze whiz amirite?

  30. Dave J. says at 4:30 pm, April 15th, 2009

    That “tea bag the d-bag” person looks like an attractive younger human female type, so I’m a bit perplexed as to what she’s doing at a wingnut protest. However: trim, apparently well dressed, artificially white teeth, hat with corporate logo = lobbyist.

  31. Nerdalicious says at 4:31 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Prez fired the CEO of flaming GM cars on fire. He should become the Truant Officer In Chief & haul all these truant slave children from a Mittens Polygamy sect into debtors prison. And then fire their parents! Go Prez!

  32. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:31 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Remember when the Repubs were praying for rain during Barry’s Denver convention speech? Hey, wingnuts, God just answered your prayers–he’s just about 8 months late. God must be a librul half-breed muslin.

  33. Kev-O-Tron says at 4:31 pm, April 15th, 2009

    DC Hates Me: That seems to be the wingnut excuse for NOT being at these idiot festivals. “We’re conservatives! We have jobs!” They have a point there. I’m liberal, unemployed and I’m going to the idiot festival. But going ironically and will be very drunk.

  34. davitydave says at 4:31 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I caught the Tea Party in front of the San Francisco Civic Center. There aren’t any federal offices there that I’m aware of, so I’m not sure why they chose that location specifically. Nancy Pelosi’s office and a brand new federal building are each only a couple blocks away from there protest location. Regardless, when I got there, the police were dispersing them because they didn’t have permits. Really, is it that hard to properly assemble 42 people?

    Anyway, I shot pics of several of them and their signs (Randians, Nobamans, Don’t Tread on Me-ers, Anti-Socialists, etc.) and will have them online later today. I’ll post a link once they’re up.

  35. regularguy says at 4:32 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I don’t know if the “Don’t Ruin My Future” sign is aimed at the government or his Mom. I’m leaning toward Mom since she’s got a hood on the kid and is holding an umbrella over him. Junior won’t melt, lady.

  36. Nerdalicious says at 4:33 pm, April 15th, 2009

    “I’m already $36,000 in debt in Monopoly money.” “Can we please go home now so I can watch Spongepants?”. “C’mon can we please go home I’m soaked it’s been raining all day. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

  37. Prommie says at 4:33 pm, April 15th, 2009

  38. ChernobylSoup says at 4:33 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Bitch is proud that she didn’t pay her taxes and at the same time worried that defense spending will be cut. Hmm.

  39. chascates says at 4:33 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: How big is the crowd in Seattle?

  40. Doglessliberal says at 4:34 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Internally valid: I was just going to say that 99% of these people:

    1) do not know the origin of the phrase silent majority
    2) don’t actually know WTF socialism is (and probably don’t object to government’s paying for lots of nice things like, say, subsidies on crops so they can buy their artery clogging fast food filled with corn syrup and beef)
    3) have never even picked up an Ayn Rand book, let alone read Atlas Shrugged

    Idiots.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:34 pm, April 15th, 2009

    That kid who’s in $36,000 of debt at the age of 8 REALLY needs to curb that drinking problem… or at least have the credit card cancelled.

    Kev-O-Tron: AND POSTING YOUR FINDINGS ON THE SITE, I PRESUME???

  42. These folks just look like they are sad there are no more Palin/KKK Rallies to attend. Let them have their “fun”. However, I do find the brainwashed children offensive.

  43. Can the “I forgot to pay my taxes” picture be used as evidence against her in court?

  44. Doglessliberal says at 4:35 pm, April 15th, 2009

    regularguy: yeah, she ruined it by birthing him.

  45. proudgrampa says at 4:35 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Why, oh why, can’t the “Silent Majority” SHUT THE F— UP???

  46. tunamelt says at 4:35 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I had a reply but I don’t remember it because my teleprompter is broken.

  47. memzilla says at 4:36 pm, April 15th, 2009

    The last big demonstration I attended, greeting the Republitard conventioneers in NYC in 2004, there was the *nicest* young man with a suit, Brylcreemed hair, and large-framed Gucci glasses who was ambling through the scruffily dressed protesters taking long meaningful looks at everyone. He was no more conspicuous than any other ill-camouflaged Federal operative would be.

    In the center of the large Gucci logo on the side of his glasses frames was, of course, the pinhole camera whose leads trailed down the croakies running from the earpiece to the concealed recorder in his suit.

    How considerate that this generation of Republitards has shown up and willingly offered themselves to have their portraits taken. The first challenge we would have is identifying the idiots, and like the idiots they are, they’ve solved that one for us. Also.

  48. I don’t understand how these people have children. There must be people out there who out drink me and make worse decisions when drinking. Gah! Stupid america.

  49. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:36 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Surely it is a law now that anyone other than Neil Peart who takes Ayn Rand seriously should be locked up for their own safety?

    But I am glad to see all the people using their kids to make a political point. Although, it must boarder on child abuse to make your child carry a sign saying that he won’t drink Obama’s tea. Poor kid won’t get laid forever because of that picture.

  50. BadKitty: “Silent Majority” is the biggest heap of unmitigated bullshit since “Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.” It is completely wrong on every level.

  51. wonderboom says at 4:38 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Yay! for Cold, Wet Rain.
    Yay! for Pneumonia!

  52. Come here a minute says at 4:39 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Lemming Caution: You forgot to mention that the “Stop Cutting Defense” lady is also the “Forgot to Pay My Taxes” lady! Where do the defense munnies come from? BRAIN HURTS!

  53. Gallowglass says at 4:39 pm, April 15th, 2009

    To my eternal shame and self-disgust, I have read “Atlas Shrugged” and the one redeeming characteristic of John Galt, ironically the one which these fuckheads seem most unwilling to embrace, is that he went the fuck away.

  54. tunamelt says at 4:40 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I’m not going because the ones in LA are all apparently in really stupid places like the valley or south bay or glendale. Can’t they protest at City Hall like everyone else?

  55. ChernobylSoup says at 4:40 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Dave J.: She’s a he. Look at its neck; bigger around than the columns at the Parthenon.

  57. Delicious says at 4:40 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Amazing. The RightWingNutTards can’t even muster a decently attended protest. They’re fast becoming a shrinking cult whose only purpose is to enrich Limbaugh and Beck and Hannity.

    Is it dead yet? Then kill it!

  58. Lazy Media says at 4:40 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: God answers all prayers, but he’s REALLY bad at his job.

  59. Deepthroat says at 4:41 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Min: word. they have no idea what anything actually means. Also, JOHN GALT LIVES IN A FANTASY WORLD THAT NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL. These are the same people who think there were dinosaurs on Noah’s ark.

  60. The ‘O’ in “silent majority” is clearly a zero. Good to see the protesters are taking cues from movie theater signs.

  61. Alabama Parrot says at 4:45 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I heard them bleating outside my window today on the Auburn campus. They were on a campus paid for by tax dollars and many of them received salaries, military benefits, or other income from tax dollars. Morans.

  62. Lazy Media says at 4:46 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Atlanta’s rightwingnuts are way more organized (numerous, too), and Fox is pulling out the stops for it. Hannity’s going to broadcast from 7 to 10 at the state Capitol, which is the same MARTA stop that white suburbanites take to go the Braves’ games, so should be a pretty big turnout. Although, Wednesday night, WTF? All the Babdists and other fundagelicals are supposed to be in church. My guess is they’ll get a couple thousand Hannity and Boortz fans. Cobb and Gwinnett counties are the epicenter of smug, suburban know-nothingism east of the Mississippi.

  63. ManchuCandidate says at 4:46 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Dave J.:
    Good call. I was wondering the same thing.

    “What the fuck is that attractive (?) female doing here?”

  64. Prommie says at 4:48 pm, April 15th, 2009

    There’s a crazy, totally crazee, kinda hotchick with a scarf in the first picture, oh, she would be major trouble, and the one with the “Tea Bag the D Bag” is looking ready to go, too. I told you there are always some fucktarded hot chicks, and they all have that allure of teh crazeee. Just watch out for the stage 4 clingers.

  65. slappypaddy says at 4:48 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Reed: Yes. Oh, Yes.

  66. d34dfish says at 4:49 pm, April 15th, 2009
  67. PomPom says at 4:49 pm, April 15th, 2009

    yourwildhorses: Yeah, that blows my mind. The most generous way to reconcile that, I suppose, is that some people are so deeply, deeply dumb that they have no idea how something like a checking account works. Put $ in, take $ out, etc. Maybe they should all be sent back to middle school, all Billy Madison-like, before they are allowed to have opinions.

  68. d34dfish says at 4:50 pm, April 15th, 2009
  69. So, can I suggest for the non-rained out follow parade for the teabagging today, might I suggest the American Tax March?

    That way we get teabagging followed up with ATM.

  70. Delicious says at 4:51 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Why do they give me five “Q’s” but only two “U’s”?

  71. freakishlystrong says at 4:52 pm, April 15th, 2009

    So, Fux News creates news by promoting and attending and running this shit on thier “news” station all day, faux news about a ginned up “protest” by Grass Rootiness folks. Really, how the fuck stupid do they think the rest of us, (the Majority as it were), think we are? We need to contact the FCC, Fox is NOT a news channel. I hate the right wing also.

  72. IceCreamEmpress says at 4:52 pm, April 15th, 2009

    What the fuck is this about? They’re protesting the tax rates set by the Bush Administration on the money they earned during the Bush Administration, and it’s somehow magically all Obama’s fault?

    Also, none of those people are in the top tax bracket. Nor will they ever be, unless they win the fucking lottery. You don’t see Warren Buffett out there, now do you?

  73. Joey Ratz says at 4:52 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: To be somewhat fair, most non-idiots have also steered well clear of Ayn Rand; indeed, this is a sign of brains and good sense.

  74. twowheeljunkie says at 4:52 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I kinda like that one. And what about the intrest by the time he’s old enugh to pay it.
    HA!

  75. BadKitty says at 4:52 pm, April 15th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Just remember, guys, Michelle Bachman is attractive too. Pretty /= sane.

  76. twowheeljunkie says at 4:53 pm, April 15th, 2009

    “I’m only 8 and already $36,000 in debt”

    I kinda like that one. And what about the intrest by the time he’s old enugh to pay it.
    HA!

    D’oh

  80. Don’t worry about those kids missing school. I guarantee you every last one of them is home schooled by their charming and intelligent parents. Feel better?

  81. Paterlanger says at 4:55 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Min: Yes. Have any of these people ever read the damn book. A handful of heroic industrial demi-gods led by some sort of Edison/Zeus character who is so clever he comes up with whatever deus ex machina science fiction technology is necessary to further the movement (and Rand’s lumbering plot) in the end get everything they want including, communally, the hot railroad heiress and yet the little people who worship the demi-gods and suffer the consequences of their moral “strike” just end up getting run over by a train. The people who are enamored of Rand and her “philosophy” are really no deeper than the shallow teens who live for the next “Twighlight” book. Last weeks New Yorker had a great Talk of the Town piece about a local meeting of “Objectivists” who seem to spend their entire time together masturbating to their shared “brushes with Ayn” stories.

  82. ManchuCandidate says at 4:58 pm, April 15th, 2009

    BadKitty:
    True.

    I dated a couple “Hot but crazy” types. Not good for my sanity.

    I was reminded of something a wiser more experienced with women friend once told me.
    “(If she’s) Fucked in the head, (you’re) better off dead.”

  83. gradgrind says at 5:00 pm, April 15th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate:

    My money’s on “cover girl for closeted GOP Congressoid.” Or Senatroid.

    On the other hand, what’s with the white & even teeth? She may be a double agent, or the apostate adult child of librul parents (the other kind of parents sent all their orthodontia money to Pat Robertson and Grover Norquist back in the long-ago).

  84. SmutBoffin says at 5:01 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Jesus Hussein Christ.

    Ron Paul, in his fucktarded contribution on the day, has suggested that the gov’t issue letters of marque to independent pirate hunters, as a market-based solution to the whole Somalia thing.

  85. DubyanelLiberal: Now it makes sense. A superprivileged relative of mine went there—quite fratty and conservative, if I remember, or that could have just been him. And pearly-whitey in the picture.

  86. heroinmule says at 5:02 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I’m glad their precious “God” decided to literally rain on their parade.

  87. Red Zeppelin says at 5:02 pm, April 15th, 2009

    chascates: Yeah, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most boring and drawn out books in the annals of English language fiction. I’d rather read the complete works of George Eliot than reread that thing. However, I doubt these folks are reading anything weightier than the TV Guide or Soap Opera Digest. Speaking of weighty, I wonder where they think the money that Medicaid is paying for their fucking diabetes is coming from?

  88. Gallowglass says at 5:05 pm, April 15th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Well, he is a strict adherent of the gold standard, so it stands to reason that he embraces other batshit anachronisms. Next stop: Trade Guilds and the Divine Right of Kings!

    She’s the sole heiress to the Chicklets™ fortune.

  91. FlipOffResearch says at 5:08 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I’ve got Cavuto on TV. They panned across the crowd and he claimed it was a diverse crowd. Hunh, looked pretty much white male to me. The other point he kept trying to pound in is that this is a trans-party thing - not republican not democrat, just people sick of govt. wastefulness. You’d have to be wildly deluded to buy this shit.

  92. Gallowglass says at 5:10 pm, April 15th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Never mind that Letters of Marque are government issued licenses, deputizing private citizens to act on behalf of the government against enemies of the state, which is actually the opposite of a market-based solution. Next he’ll suggest debtors prisons and indentured servitude as a solution to defaulted mortgages.

  93. President Beeblebrox says at 5:11 pm, April 15th, 2009

    Breaking nooze - over 900 Revolutionary Way re-enactors turned up in Albany today, including the Home School Fife & Drum Corps.

    I’m not making this up. DC teabaggers were shut down by the Secret Service for throwing tea on the White House lawn. A robotic arm had to open the tea to make sure it wasn’t evil. Was this robotic arm from the teleprompter dude running the White House? I smell a robotic teleprompter sharpie sign on the way!

You’re just giving these pathetic bitterz the negative attention they crave, and assisting their reighteously indignant delusions that with a 10th grade education, they too will be a captain of industry whose taxes will be raised by a mulatto Muslim with a gay dog.

    Uniquely American orthodoxy that someday you’ll be rich + wingnut belief that their voices “haven’t been heard” when they were heard for 8 long years + heaping helping of stupid = just sad, actually. I

  125. DeepFriedTwinkies says at 5:44 pm, April 15th, 2009

    I attended the teabagging party in Fairhope, AL. It was eerily similar to a Disney Cruise. I hate to tell ya’ll, but there were only a few benign spending signs, and about 1000 American Flags…lots of music, a tribute to every branch of the military, and a warning that there would be no party-bashing. It was a dixie love fest. I asked an elderly couple if they brought their guns, and they laughed and told me “you might be a spy”. I told them, “my cover is blown”. I took pictures, but the only teabaggers in the crowd were an elderly couple, about 100 years old, who had a couple of teabags hanging from their hats.

    IceCreamEmpress: I was with you on this point for a while now, but then I remembered all the “conversations” I’ve had with either Paultards or Palintards recently and realized that none of this is supposed to make any sense at all anyway. It’s theatre of the absurd, and as the audience, I’m going to sit back and enjoy it.

    well, more accurately, “…faux-populist movements incited by wealthy, white radio hosts unhappy their taxes could go up and encouraging their frothy, Cro-magnum listeners to protest on their behalves.”

    that probably won’t fit on the box, though.

    DeepFriedTwinkies: First…you are brave. Teabaggers in ALABAMA?! I live in DC and I avoided them there.
    And I point this out over and over. The military is a biggest socialist organization in the US. They all get paid the same for each pay and grade, they get subsidized stores where the prices are kept low, free healthcare while active duty, and subsidized programs for your children and spouses.
    I speak from experience being a military dep for 40 years. But tell one of these teabaggers that, and they will go apeshit on you. But there they go, honoring them a their Teabagging, down with socialists, muslins, and left wing fascists rallies.

    Good news, everyone– The Governor of Texas is threatening to secede from the Union!

    And ain’t this precious, according to HuffPo, one of the Teabagers at the Austin rally said she “took the day off of home-schooling her three children and brought them to the rally to teach them about civic duty. Knowlton, a critic of the Social Security system and the United Nations, said she felt camaraderie at the demonstration.”

    I’m not sure whether this makes me want to laugh or cry

    Hooray For Anything: They tried it once before. Went rather badly for them, as I recall. In fact, they were conquered by force and undisguisedly ruled as a subject province for several years afterward, accompanied by the abrogation of any treaties existing prior to their defeat. I guess the US is harder to beat in a war than Mexico. Huh, who knew?

    Hurray for Anything: And prettyboy is an idiot–he doesn’t even realize that the Texas constitution says we can divide into five states, NOT that we can secede.

    Seriously, since when is it ok for a governor to be talking secession? That’s bullshit. But he’s just pitching his little baby fit before he sucks on the federal teat just like he knew he would anyway.

    Weenie-ass twatwaffle. That’s Perry.
