BATTLE OF GOOGLE HILL  11:17 am March 2, 2010

Teabagger Militia Switches Online Battleground From Google To Yahoo

by Ken Layne

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the Google group which hath connected them with another, etc. etc.
Much like the Day of Infamy when George Washington switched from AOL to Hotmail, March the Second of Year Two-Thousand and Ten will always be remembered as the day the Patriot Google group said “we hath taken too much!” and just cold went over to Yahoo groups. [Patriotic Yahoo group]

Have these guys ever made an actual list of their liberties that have been usurped? Or is this just a general feeling that there is some usurping going on?

loquaciousmusic March 2, 2010 at 11:22 am

What, alt-sex-furries was already taken?

Can they really not afford the $20 for a domain name and hosting and put up a good forum? What is it with conservatives and their lack of internet know-how?

Crank Tango March 2, 2010 at 11:27 am

I’ve noticed that anyone who says “usurp” these days is an asshole.

And this is about google tracking their IPs or something isn’t it?

privatejoker March 2, 2010 at 11:28 am

Yahoo?! wow these people are slow.

qwerty42 March 2, 2010 at 11:29 am

Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round Google Groups.

Are these a bunch of teen-age drama queens?

JMP March 2, 2010 at 11:29 am

My god, they’re actually going back in time, tech-wise. Next up, they’ll be moving to a new platform on Compuserve.

[re=522648]Terry[/re]: The government is ignoring their Constitutional right to insist that no tax money be used to help black and/or poor people.

Troubledog March 2, 2010 at 11:30 am

After the Google group was infiltrated by those sick fucking Plushies, what choice did they have?

freakishlystrong March 2, 2010 at 11:30 am

Have I mentioned lately how much I fucking despise the fucking word “Patriot”? Especially when it’s used by idiots, whose unnamed rights have been “usurped” by the Kenyan?

doxastic March 2, 2010 at 11:31 am

Well, the government clearly hasn’t usurped your rights to be assholes, so file that under “good news!”

“our efforts have been recognized as singularly useful and effective”

i.e. we have typed many many furiously dumb things into a forum, on the internet.

oldguy March 2, 2010 at 11:38 am

[re=522648]Terry[/re]: This is exactly my question. Has anyone ever bothered to ask one of these jerks what the hell they’re talking about? And any use of the word “patriot” in the shadow of the Patriot Act strikes me as treason – as does their rejection of the rule of law.

Moral incompetents.

No complaints about the judicial branch? Is that because they aren’t aware it exists, or because they had no problem with Gore v. Bush, Citizen’s United, etc.?

Next, they’ll create a Geocities homepage. For freedom.

Ken, we think there’s a mole in our group but we don’t know who it is. This switch to Yahoo will surely flush him out.
-Moose, sec. Unrepentant Teabaggers.

p.s. The first rule of unrepentant teabagging is you do not talk about unrepentant teabagging.

[re=522664]freakishlystrong[/re]: The wignuts have done a good job ruining otherwise good words; Patriot they destroyed quite some time ago (well, the wignuts and the world’s most obnoxious professional sports fans, and their cheating team). Now I they’ve got me cringing at “freedom” and “liberty”.

doxastic March 2, 2010 at 11:51 am

[re=522666]Tommmcatt[/re]: It’s all that “sharing.” The move to Yahoo is just an incremental step while they build their own internet in a bunker, stocked with toilet paper, unfluoridated water, guns and twinkies. It will be made of gold so as to be impervious to inflation, and anyone wishing to partake will be able to pay for the privilege, but only after they have signed a loyalty oath, been tested for witchcraft, and confirmed through a series of clandestine trials designed to determine whether or not they are in fact undercover Clintonites who personally killed Vince Foster.

Then, using this “internet,” these patriots will discover proof of Obama’s Stalinist Muslim Indo-Kenyan origin, the nefarious conspiracy to indoctrinate our youth using AmeriCorps and FEMA camps, and the real location of Grant’s Tomb, which has been hidden by union thugs and their Chicago-style politics (which is defined by its thick crust and soggy pool of toppings). They will hold a glorious citizen’s trial, and America will be transported to magical July 5, 1776, when Americans were united in their love of warring against elitists and their high-and-mighty English accents.

But first, Yahoo. For the peaceful philosophical discussion, of course.

Dumptruck March 2, 2010 at 11:52 am

It’s a good thing Angelfire is still around. They’ll need it once they start making animated gifs of George Washington getting a blow job from the Bill of Rights.

[re=522648]Terry[/re]: Don’t you remember when they went to the health care town halls with guns carried openly? Then what happened? Their right to bear arms was usurped by, uh, them being shown on the teevee shouting, then going home.

Come here a minute March 2, 2010 at 11:55 am

Then later, when it gets dark, we go home.

Just a perfect protest.

Fuck yes, I will beat a dead horse:

Starrigavan March 2, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Ah these poor repressed Patriots. They’re so committed to the cause that they will sit in their jammies and post things on Yahoo! It’s effective! The Kenyan hasn’t been able to usurp a single constitutional right in the entire year he’s usurped the White House!

Thank god the Revolution didn’t depend on people like this to get started, they’d all still be having high tea and protesting Prince Charles on Yahoo!

Prommie March 2, 2010 at 12:00 pm

There is a tax return preparation business that opened up in a strip mall near the place Promnight Dumpster Baby calls home, its called “Liberty,” and to drum up business, they have put at least one, and often two, employees out by the street, and they wear these spectacular statue of Liberty costumes, and they cavort and wave at the cars and suchwhat. I call them “my precious liberties,” and I am happy to know that they are what our troops are fightin’ for, also.

dyed-in-the-woolly mammoth March 2, 2010 at 12:01 pm

tehbenton March 2, 2010 at 12:06 pm

Why do I hear Inigo Montoya every time a teabagger utters the word “patriot?” “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Tommmcatt March 2, 2010 at 12:06 pm

We should all take a moment and ponder the wisdom of the words of Bishop David, Unrepentant patriot:


… it is the men that are as dumbed down as the women. Most men in the US today have no idea what it is to be a real father. Many a man calls me antiquated. Men – calling themselves patriots – talk about the US Constitution as a needful thing that was written over two hundred years ago and is relevant today, they say the 1950s is ancient history, not to be revisted. They say I come out of a garbage can and am filled with hatred for women. They can not discern between women and feminazis. They cannot discern between good and evil. They have been well groomed by the enemies of America.

When the men cannot ban together as the feminastis have done they are losers and are too ignorant to realize it. They do not want God’s values, they do not want morality. They love adultery in their minds followed by adultery infact and in act. They love fornication. They are irresponsible for their own adultery, fornication and other lewd and lascivious acts.
I fear America is lost. There is a remnant that is being systematically attacked by women, the courts and the politicians. Men are of no help as they are also involved in the onslaught. Perhaps we, the remnat, will have to flee into the wilderness.

I say AMEN, Bishop! AMEN!

The Patriot’s Serenity Prayer

by

Moose (The Unrepentant Patriot)

(With no apologies whatsoever to Reinhold Niebuhr …sorry, I just don’t believe in apologizing to anyone … oops……)

God, grant me the serenity to load my clips quickly and fully,
and to accept that there are shots I cannot make;
the courage to take the shots I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one skirmish at a time;
Enjoying one small victory at a time;
Accepting imperfect firing positions as the pathway to survival;
Taking, as our Founding Fathers did, this land as the gift from God that it is,

not as the hog-trough of shiftlessness and government largesse the Leftists would have it become;
Trusting that my full-metal-jackets will make all things right,
as long as I meter my breathing and choose my targets carefully;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and,

as a result of my sacrifices for the cause of liberty,

supremely happy even if I eventually run out of ammo.

“Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori … It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country.” (Horace)

Amen.

Deacon Frank Orris March 2, 2010 at 12:13 pm

“We have recently decided that the Google platform is no longer suitable…and accordingly we have established a new Yahoo group of the same name” = Founded: Nov 18, 2008

Several thousand really equals less than 200. Brand new Yahoo group established–almost eighteen months ago. Geez, teatards, if you’re going to flat out lie like that, hide the fricking evidence, don’t let it reside in plain sight on your home page.

maximumneanderthal March 3, 2010 at 7:26 am

“A man sometimes starts up a patriot, only by disseminating discontent, and propagating reports of secret influence, of dangerous counsels, of violated rights, and encroaching usurpation. This practice is no certain note of patriotism. To instigate the populace with rage beyond the provocation, is to suspend publick happiness, if not to destroy it. He is no lover of his country, that unnecessarily disturbs its peace. Few errours and few faults of government, can justify an appeal to the rabble; who ought not to judge of what they cannot understand, and whose opinions are not propagated by reason, but caught by contagion.”
Johnson: The Patriot
