Chuck Norris joins call for "right-wing cells" to rise up and rebel against the government

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be right-wing B-movie actors..... :crazy:

Chuck Norris claims thousands of right wing cell groups exist and will rebel against U.S. government
March 9, 7:33 AM · 104 comments


The call by some right wing leaders for rebellion and for the military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by Chuck Norris who claims that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are ready for a second American Revolution. During an appearance on the Glen Beck radio show he promised that if things get any worse from his point of view he may “run for president of Texas.” The martial artist/actor/activist claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place and that if rebellion is to come through secession Texas would lead the way.

Today in his syndicated column on WorldNetDaily Norris reiterates the point: “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

He continues; calling on a second American Revolution; “…we've bastardized the First Amendment, reinterpreted America's religious history and secularized our society until we ooze skepticism and circumvent religion on every level of public and private life.

How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution? We the people have the authority according to America's Declaration of Independence, which states: That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” .........(more)

1. Treasonous has-been, ain't he?

[ForrestGump]

119. Not according to "Facts About Chuck Norris":

"Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship."

[mucifer]

2. he's a stupid washed up bad actor. I don't think he has a huge following.

[ReliantJ]

9. Chuck Norris heard you

now you cannot run or hide. :)

[ForrestGump]

115. He still makes magazine covers...

[Odin2005]

129. OMG, is that for real?

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. I wish Bruce Lee was alive to kick his ass again.

[Gregorian]

12. Haha. See my post below. Wow.

We're on the same wavelength.

[navarth]

24. Bruce Lee kicked his ass?? That's awesome. Any video? Make it viral.

A youtube video of that would be Kick Ass.

[scarletwoman]

36. It's on film.

He has red carpet on his shoulders!! :gag: :retch:

[Botany]

190. no wonder chuck is so bitter

ass kicking!

[scarletwoman]

37. My first thought, too. (nt)

[anonymous171]

48. Same here. nt

[cynatnite]

4. The last time seccession happened, it ended badly for the losers. n/t

[Hekate]

107. I know and you know, but the modern ones never remember that. Loony tunes. nt

[tavalon]

114. They are still mad at losing, don't forget

I lived the first half of my life in the south. They haven't forgotten.

[Terry in Austin]

192. Not too great for the winners, either

Gee, we got to keep Florida and South Carolina...

OK, Texas, too, but our fair People's Republic of Austin can't really help what state surrounds it!

5. Dupe.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. excuse me,

but isn't it illegal to call for the overthrow of the government? I thought that wasn't covered under freedom of speech. Or does it have to be more specific than this?

[Lisa0825]

14. Just what I was thinking... I hope the Secret Service is watching him. nt

[Baby Snooks]

98. They will be....

They will be watching him. Just as soon as they stop laughing at him.

[MUAD_DIB]

53. Sedition made simple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition

[Lisa0825]

69. Yup, you betcha!

In fact after seeing this post, I posted the article to my Facebook, and said, "Sounds like sedition to me!"

[Joe Fields]

88. I believe it is called sedition.

[oedura]

162. Aren't you forgetting...?

Republicans get to say anything they want.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

7. Good thing we have the Patriot Act

aint it?

Oh wait, you mean he is not in jail already?

[KamaAina]

8. "president of the Lone Star state"?

Methinks somebody flunked Texas history. He'd be running (and losing) for president of the Lone Star Republic. :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

[Maru Kitteh]

58. No he's running to BE Lone Star:

[AlCzervik]

10. What a dope, too bad his loved ones enable his foolishness.

someone needs to be told they aren't special.

[ForrestGump]

120. Chuck Norris can divide by zero

Chuck Norris played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise.

When Bruce Banner gets mad, he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets mad, he turns into Chuck Norris.

Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse-kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.


:o

[Gregorian]

11. Pathetic.

And to think of how polite and patient we were during eight years of pillaging and plundering and war and criminal acts.

Bring back Bruce Lee. I want to see him kick your stupid ass again.

[indepat]

142. Yeah, Chucky, is maybe your call eight years late?

:P

[nyrnyr1994]

13. I think he might be starting to take the myths about himself literally...yikes

http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

[gmudem]

156. You have a great username and avatar.

And yeah Chuck Norris is nutso. Clearly to conservatives supporting the president is only necessary if he's a fascist just like themselves.

IOKIYAR.

[nyrnyr1994]

170. Thanks!

Yeah it looks very hypocritical of them, but not surprising.

(off-topic)So what you think about Avery coming back to NY?

[GReedDiamond]

15. This "Chuck Norris" guy...

...is he under surveillance of any sort?

I certainly hope so.

He sounds like a threat to the U.S. national security.

I'd keep an eye on this guy...

[NMMNG]

16. Funny how things change

A few years ago his type was screaming Treason! to anybody who dared even question the divine authority of Der Fuhrer Bush. Now they're advocating this sort of shit?

[Skittles]

40. they are anti-American bastards

[NMMNG]

54. I should like if you go kick their asses

[notadmblnd]

19. and Ted Nugent can be his VP

man, what drugs are these guys on?

[Oldenuff]

49. and Ted Nugent can be his VP...

If that doesn't send shivers of fear down your back,nothing could.


I'd much rather have Cheech and Chong.


I'm ashamed of myself for having ever even watched one of Chucks B movies.If I could "unsee" them I certainly would.

[TheMightyFavog]

147. The only thing about me getting the worst flu I ever had three years ago:

It got me out of having to go see a double feature of Invasion: USA and Delta Force for my Terrorism and Hollywood class in college.

This was right about the time the "Chuck Norris Facts" meme was hitting its zenith.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. NOW he tells us. Does that mean Bush was an illegal President?

Also, how did all those bad things happen in a month?

[UTUSN]

21. Yeh, some wingnut (Lars LARSEN?!1) a-hole sed "resistance" would come from TEXAS!1 n/t

[jedr]

22. It would be interesting to watch;

groups of solider wannabes go up against the real army.

[gratuitous]

23. Chuck Norris doesn't advocate the violent overthrow of the government

Governments advocate the violent overthrow of Chuck Norris.

[dweller]

25. who cares what that

has to say?

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. "Hey border-wall builders? We have a change order coming your way."

"Instead of going straight when you get to the New Mexico/Texas border, I want you to hang a left. We know it'll cost a little more, but at least the people on both sides of the border are agreeable to it."

[JJ]

31. Been saying that for 25 years

They should continue that Tex-Mex border wall all the way around the state.

[kentauros]

61. Right. Okay.

And when Texas turns blue in two more election cycles, we'll just keep our second-largest GDP in the country, along with the only USAF training facility, NASA's Mission Control and Astronaut Training, all the contractors supporting them, the Texas Medical Center and research facilities there, all the oil & energy companies (as well as the means to control prices on those commodities), the Amarillo nuclear weapons facility, the busiest shipping port on the continent, and the UTMB infectious diseases facility in Galveston. That's just off the top of my head. There's plenty more if you care to look it up.

Still want to wall us all off?

[depakid]

110. "the Texas Medical Center and research facilities"

Might not want to tout that....

[kentauros]

134. Really? How so?

Do you live here? Do you have any idea of what you're talking about? explain.

[depakid]

136. TMAP

Short for Texas Medication Algorithm Project. One of the most corrupt and debased things to ever come out of medicine in America.

And there's a reason why it happened in Texas....

Here's an investigative article about it (you can also find discussions aplenty in peer reviewed publications or in public health circles).

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2005/05/medicating-aliah

[kentauros]

145. And Texas is the only state/bureaucracy that develops such algorithms?

I'm not saying we're flawless; nobody is (unless you happen to hail from some perfect utopia on the planet...) But I do think the country as a whole would be severely lessened without the TMC. Yet we have the Brainless Brigade here, that seem to think the United States would better off if they were to excise Texas from their continental maps. Are their respective states any better? Do they have flaws that are reported in Mother Jones and the like? I would say so.

I was responding to the brainless Anti-Texas/Anti-South amongst DU-ers in this thread. If you are counting yourself in their ranks, then I suggest you brush up on your wall-building skills, so we can get on with being a country again and leave the RW brainless to you and your "superior" medical professionals :P

[depakid]

172. No it just so happens to have been the easiest target

due to the lack of overall ethics- endemic corruption and the nature of the state government and local populations.

You might also note that Pennsylvania is where part of the systemic trouble spread- CMAP, along with bribery to put kids behind bars for money.

Just the tip of the iceberg:

[quickesst]

122. Many DUers literally...

...hate the south, and any progressives who live there are guilty without any chance to prove innocence. They are considered "collateral damage" as long as the south they percieve, mostly through embracing stereotypical thinking, is wiped off the map. I can't help remembering a particular post from one of these "progressives" hoping for a natural, or manmade disaster to strike one of our cities so that Obama, on behalf of democrats everywhere but the south, could withhold federal emergency aid to punish them for, well, being the south. Calling for the deaths of women, children, and men makes this DUer, and those who's narrow thinking mirrors his/hers, worse than the repukes they claim to despise. They liked us for our Obama votes up to the time he was elected, but will always hate us for where we live, and their stereotypical perception of who we "really" are. The banter enjoyed by southern democrats here at DU is a thin veneer which only becomes transparent when threads in the vein of this one arises. It's then you become aware of the true feelings of many so-called open-minded progressives. Narrow-minded, and easily influenced nitwits. Thanks.
quickesst

[kentauros]

135. Thank you for that lucid reply, too

:)

And you nailed it for what is truly below the surface. I read some of these posts and wonder if these are the words of former republicans that haven't yet learned to embrace real compassion. They're still living in that "us vs. them" mentality.

[BreweryYardRat]

139. Ayup.

I hate the fact that I'm living in the South (working to change that), but after I leave, I sure as hell wouldn't advocate punishing everyone down here for the sins of all the Republican assholes we have to share states with.

I've had to put people on ignore or cuss them out for the exact sort of shit you're talking about.

[roguevalley]

141. take out south and put religion and you get the same thing. My

family on my mom's side came from the south and migrated to Oregon after the Civil War. My great Grandpa fought with Shelby's raiders and ended up caught. He escaped and hid in Illinois until the war was over. Then he came west, farmed, magistrated and taught his family to honor people regardless of color and class. Not all southrins are stupid. Just the ones related to Chuck Norris.

[TransitJohn]

189. Howdy!

Try being from Wyoming...we get the same dismissive treatment. :hi:

130. The later, mostly likely!

:rofl:

[OmahaBlueDog]

33. So he keeps his "Total Gym" endorsement how?

I mean, I know the bar is pretty low -- what with tax offenders and Janine Turner and all. But if a progressive were on that ad, and then went on Ed Schultz calling for California to secede over the failure of the courts to truly separate church and state, the rightys would be howling.

Just saying.....

34. OMG!

It's not even from The ONION!

We are all screwed :P

46. You're new so I'll help you out...

it's "screwn."

Welcome to DU.

65. duly noted and thanks !

I'm glad to be here :)

[conscious evolution]

73. lol!

[dorkulon]

42. There is no brain under his hair; there is only another fist. /nt

[Donnachaidh]

168. so you saw the same Family Guy episode we did, huh?

Wasn't the fist under his beard?

[dorkulon]

183. Yes. And actually, that came from the old "Chuck Norris facts"

website, which everyone and his uncle has done to death. The notion you seem to have that I was pretending to make an original joke--when what I was really doing was twisting a familiar joke a little to emphasize how stupid he is--is silly.

[BlooInBloo]

43. Chuck Norris put the "laughter" in "manslaughter".

50. .

:rofl:

[tech3149]

44. Your'e right Chuck, just go kick someone in the head

and when you take a bullet through yours as an act of defense, we won't feel so bad.
Get a grip you tired old loser. Most of us know we've been screwn for years and guys like you have aided and abetted the perpetrators. You might be an entertaining actor in fantasy TV shows and movies, but your grip on reality seems to be somewhat distorted if not delusional.

Hey, if you want a "Second Revolution", we pussy assed liberals, like the Founding Fathers, might just bring it on.

[Lyric]

45. Okay, Chuck! You just go ahead and do that!

We'll enjoy laughing at you when you're in a federal PMITA prison.

:hi:

[gordianot]

47. This is not just Chuck Norris, it is also Glen Beck, google "We surround them".

Norris claims that; “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.” The right wing cells will meet during a live telecast, "We Surround Them," on Friday March 13 at 5 p.m.

Google "We surround them".

I have to give Rush Limbaugh credit he only wants to destroy the Obama administration and the Republican Party. Beck appears to be trying to do one better than Limbaugh. You do have to give them credit they are providing warning, so much for secrets.

[ContinentalOp]

101. We surround them!?

:rofl: No you fucking idiots, I live in an actual city where actual people live. Not a bunch of fucking cows. Try looking at a map sometime and you'll realize WE SURROUND YOU!

[goforit]

51. Throw-up ya fucking white racist !!!

:puke:

[LostInAnomie]

52. C'mon people, can't we just let them have Texas?

The secession of Texas is a RW plot I can get behind.

[kentauros]

72. Actually, I'd rather we Texan DUers just round them all up,

smuggle them into Indiana in surplus shipping containers and dump them there. Let y'all deal with them! Oh, we'll leave all the railcars there, too, clogging up your road-crossings and towns.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

100. Excellent idea!

Yes, we Democratic Texans need to round 'em up and ship 'em to an actual red state.

Idaho? Wyoming? Utah? Oklahomosity? Hmmm......

[PA Democrat]

125. Na ah, we have too many good Democrats in Texas. Give them Guantanamo Bay

There will be a lot of vacancies there soon.

[WCGreen]

55. He should be thrown in jail for calling for treason...

[Urban Prairie]

56. "How much more will Americans take?"

Apparently "much more" than half are happy with President Obama's leadership, jackass.

I love how these delusional clowns think that they have the support of most of America, when they obviously do not.

Fuck off, Norris.

[Webster Green]

57. Brilliant of them to announce their plan. Time to lock them up.

They sound like terrorists to me. :wtf:

[undeterred]

59. CHUCKY you can leave and take Texas with you,

Its nuthin but trouble.

[kentauros]

66. I guess the rest of us DU Texans can leave, too.

Fine. We'll just trademark all references to Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Sam Rayburn, Barbara Jordan, Lady Bird Johnson, Ann Richards, Lloyd Bentsen, Bill Hicks, Steve Martin, Carol Burnett and all the other famous Texans y'all love to quote. Now with a fee!

[bridgit]

75. Leave Texas for the Texans?

:kick:

[kentauros]

77. I would hope so!

:D

Molly Ivins et al represented those of us that are true Texans. The RWs are nothing but greedheads that would be at home anywhere they could make their millions/billions and have no true allegiance to whatever country they would find themselves residing within.

[Lisa0825]

70. I hope you will vote to subsidize relocation of Texas Dems! nt

[kentauros]

74. Well, I'M not leaving Texas!

It's the best state in the union! :D

[Lisa0825]

76. Eh, I've lived in several states and tend to find the beauty in all of them.

I could be happily relocated :-)

[kentauros]

79. Okay, I'll put it this way:

it's the climate, that hot, humid, sweltering weather, the lack of anything more steep than the Hill Country and the wonderfully flat land of Houston :D

I've been told by some Australians that the Hill Country reminds them of the interior of their country. Now if only they weren't going through such a severe drought, I could live there, too :)

[Lisa0825]

82. I don't think we have met...

I have met most of the Houston area DUers. If you would like to be included the next time we plan a group outing, please PM me.

I prefer early spring, late fall, and our brief winter to the rest of the sweltering year. That being said, I am doubtful that I could ever meet the likes of the fabulous democratic friends I have made anywhere else.... like diamonds being formed by heat and pressure, Texas has bred some amazing people... Just look to Molly, Ann, and Barbara.

[kentauros]

83. No, I don't think we have, though I have seen your posts around before

:)

I tend to lay around the Lounge or a couple of the other interest-forums. I also tend to stick up for Texas when I see it getting a broad-brush beating ;)

Really, though, for the weather, I like the thunderstorms the best :D

[Lisa0825]

84. Texas has MAGNIFICENT thunderstorms!

I have to heartily agree with you on that point! Actually, as we have been in a drought, I have missed the springtime rumbling. I went to college at Baylor, and used to unscrew the patio light bulb so I could watch the lightening roll in during the spring storms. Nature is an amazing force!

[kentauros]

86. Yes, the drought we do have in common with Australia,

even approaching the fire hazards (like the Bastrop fire recently.) I also miss the storns due to that. In the summer you could literally set your watch to them! lol

3pm thunderstorm. Five minutes of rain. :P

[Joe Fields]

91. what makes you say that?

It was also the home of Bonnie and Clyde, John Wesley Hardin, Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, Judge Roy Bean, Bill Longley and a state full of bigots, including law enforcement officials. Texas is the only state I've ever been run out of, escorted to the state line and told to never come back by a highway patrolman, strictly because I had long hair and was driving a convertible with Missouri tags. His quote to me? The typical "We don't like your kind around here."

You can love your state, but I don't have to.

[Art_from_Ark]

104. I was escorted out of Ohio once by a local cop

and I had long hair at the time, and was driving a convertible with out-of-state tags. That combination seems to drive cops crazy wherever you go. And he told me never to come back, too.

[kentauros]

146. What makes me say it is because I was born and raised here and I love my state.

Would you say any less of the state you were born and raised in?

And I mentioned the Great Texans because they are often well-quoted (and well-loved) on DU. Does your state have people you aren't proud of as well as those you put on a pedestal? Or are you saying because we had some bad apples over the years, it's a good idea to punish all Texans, Liberal or not, for the trangressions of the the past? Because if that's the case, then we should all leave the entire US of A and hand it back to the Natives :P

[Manifestor_of_Light]

151. I'll help ya defend Texas toO!

Moved to East Texas, born and raised in Houston.

[kentauros]

153. Hop on in! The anti-Texas hot-water's fine!

:P

I just commented about how true to life King of the Hill is for East Texas :D

I remember Molly Ivins mentioning one of the representatives from somewhere along there that also talked like Boomhauer! :rofl:
You probably know which one that is... :)

How is East Texas these days, especially with President Obama in office now?

[Joe Fields]

154. you can defend it all you want. I do not have to share your sentiments.

I have found the state to be completely backwards and bigoted. That is MY experience. The thing I detest the most about Texas and Texans is that every son of a gun from Texas jus HAS to let you know they are from Texas.:puke:

You can't help it. You are so indoctrinated with it, you don't even realize it. Who else do you know that goes around saying "I'm from New Hampshire" or "I'm a proud Iowan?" But you always get that from Texans. It's pure bull. I've spent a lot of time in your state. I have relatives who live there. I've traveled all through east Texas. Nothing to be proud of there. The poverty there rivals Appalachia. So save your pride for your state for other Texans.

As for my home state of Missouri, I recognize it for what it is, and I hold no illusions.

[kentauros]

157. Actually, I do not go around saying I'm from Texas.

I only do such a thing in threads like these because of posters like yourself that refuse to look at the big picture and why such a move as excising Texas from the US would be a supremely bad move for every citizen, including you. If you can't see that, then I strongly suggest doing some research into the consequences of Texas seceding. Maybe, just maybe, you'll understand why we support our state and count ourselves amongst the rest of the Liberals on DU.

You should look at my first post to this thread. I never once say I'm a proud Texan. What I do point out in that post is more of the whole picture, of why you really would lose if we seceded. Which we can't do legally anyway. It's a myth, perpetuated here by the Texas-Bashers and by wingers.

Good for you, holding no illusions for your state. It is better to think of oneself as a native to the world, as a "world-citizen". But as long as people are going to bash a single area of the planet solely for the actions and words of a few that happened to be born in that same area, then I will defend the rest of us that also happened to be born in that area from the slings and arrows of the barbarians that would feel "no loss" at our demise.


However, I will say that I have wanted to get a few of those "Native Texan" bumperstickers. I need a few because it might take that many to edit them into one that says "Native Terran" :P

[Joe Fields]

165. Okay, fair enough.

Let's get serious, for a moment. Let's forget about your state seceding, for a moment. You and I both realize that will never happen, so let's put that aside. It's really a non-issue. Texas is a huge state, and as such, there are definitely many good people there, and I'm not being condescending. I also know the state for what it is, and I won't sugarcoat it for anyone, not you, not my aunt and uncle, or anyone else. I am not picking on your state, anymore than I pick on redneck Alaskans, which permeate the great geographic location of our 49th state. I just have to cut through the bullshit. That's what I do. Your state is primarily a redneck state full of bigots. That's not your fault, but don't defend against it, because I and others will call you on it.

[kentauros]

169. I've been serious the whole time.

I was about to accept your apology for not being condescending. Then you say we are "primarily a redneck state full of bigots" yet you only lived in or visited East Texas. As I said previously, Guiliani does not represent all of the state of New York, yet I have seen others here try and make that kind of broad-brush attack stick. If you can seriously "call me" on this idea that the entirety of Texas is "primarily a redneck state full of bigots", then back it up. Because basing your opinion on your experience in East Texas, whether from the handful of relatives you have there or just those you met is not sufficient to paint all of us the same way. So, I'm calling bullshit on your exceptionally limited experience of the residents of the State of Texas.

[Joe Fields]

174. bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. you are excused, sir.

I can only back my statements up from 52 years worth of listening, reading, seeing, and experiencing about your fucking state of Texas, which is enough for any reasonable individual to conclude what I have already stated. As I said once before: you have been so indoctrinated, that you cannot possibly have an objective opinion about your state. Enough said. Next topic?

[kentauros]

181. Again, that's an opinion.

I was under the impression you had something a bit more substantial.

Oh well. Your loss for not being able to appreciate any spot on the planet due to your own built-in bias/indoctrination.

[Jakes Progress]

160. Dear misanthrope,

Molly Ivins
Barara Jordan
Bill Moyers
Jim Hightower.

In an earlier post someone mentioned that they could find beauty in any state had had lived in.
You seem to be unable to find beauty anywhere. Sorry.

By the way neither chuckie norris nor georgie bush were born in Texas.

[Joe Fields]

167. boy you make giant leaps of logic.

slow down, you'll miss all the curves.

[Jakes Progress]

186. If you want to be understood,

you will have to actually say something.

Of course I can play that too. Let's see. How about:

"Don't fall down while reading. You will not see dawn with those glasses."

More fun than thinking, huh?

[BikeWriter]

166. Norris was born Carlos Ray in Ryan, OK. Back off of Texas!

[Joe Fields]

175. he seems to want to adopt it, so?......

[BikeWriter]

177. So did bush, and he is no Texan either.

[The Wizard]

60. Shoot him

Shoot him twice.

[Initech]

62. Yeah we all know how well that worked the first time.

See: Prescott Bush vs. FDR.

[bridgit]

63. Pure, USDA Buffoon! He's making Carrot Top look like an ascended master

[Hawkeye-X]

140. bm

For later (reading du on blackberry)

[FatDave]

64. Because somebody's finally talking about taxing the rich?

What the fuck?!! If you're not 100% balls to the wall unregulated Ferenghi capitalist you're communist?

The very people who willingly gave up their rights and cried "terrorisM! terrorism!" are going to now become religious terrorists. If only the irony wasn't completely lost on them.

[B3Nut]

67. Did you see some of the comments on that?

For fuck's sake that was painful. The drooling monosyllabic redneck contingent was out in full force, almost as if Frei Republik had vomited forth its spawn onto a more respectable comment forum.

Chuck Norris knoweth not of which he speaketh, I'm afraid. To borrow a netspeak-ish turn of phrase, Epic constitutional literacy FAIL.

[Wiley50]

68. They're gonna be awful suprised that Liberals are armed too and we're pretty sick of their shit

The next to the last thing I'd ever want to do is hurt, shoot or kill another person.

But the LAST thing I want to do is allow myself to be victimized by any fools like them.

Bring it on Chuckie and Glennie

[Raksha]

71. That's pretty damn subversive!

How is it RWWs get away with this subversive/secessionist and borderline terrorist crap...and still see themselves as "patriots"?

[HughBeaumont]

78. "Walker, Texas Corpse"

Your character's supposed to be 40
But you have to be at least 80
The make-up department should win an Emmy
For making people think your alive


Chuck Norris- you're really fucking old

You're the worst singer I have ever heard
You're even worse than I am
You should be climbing out of a grave
While you sing the fucking theme song

[ljm2002]

80. "Cells"? Right-wing "cells"?

Isn't that the kind of terminology that's usually reserved for, you know, terrorist and insurgent groups? As in, violent treasonous bastards?????

[MisterP]

85. oh, you'll laugh when you hear this one: the Right says IT's the revolutionary side now

ever since Reagan declared the Contras were freedom fighters against an Empire, they've declared themselves the TRUE revolutionaries, a la Washington, to try and steal the thunder from the international Left (which actually IS fighting against blood-soaked repression)
so Mr. Idiocracy over there thinks he's Lenin or Trotsky... (remember, they're a very stupid group, based on worship of violence, power, and the great god Kap-Eh-Taal (which, like the more-strict Jewish manner, can never actually be named))

[ContinentalOp]

102. Well, "cells" is pretty accurate...

when you're talking about a scattering of drooling losers here and there.

[glitch]

143. Like Al Qaeda?

Or do right-wingers like Norris think they're "left-wing" terrorists?

[upi402]

81. did he fall off the wagon?

did the infamy from WoW go to his toxic noggin? is there nothing keeping Chuck Norris' ears from smashing right together?

[Festivito]

87. NOW he decides to secede. Hey, * could have been avoided.

Chuck seems to be a big thinker. At least it feels big, heavy and takes a lot of time.

[Joe Fields]

89. let them have texas. no loss to me.

[kentauros]

149. See above

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5218563&mesg_id=5225862

And open your eyes. Losing Texas from the USA would be a huge loss to the nation, and you would feel it. Personally.

If you don't believe me, then you should look up that little port we have here called the Port of Houston.

[Joe Fields]

155. the ridiculous talk of losing Texas is just that.

You won't catch me spending time or money there again.

[kentauros]

158. But how do you know if you are spending money that goes to us or not?

You did see how much product goes through the Port of Houston, right? ;)

And by the way, East Texas is like a whole 'nuther world. The cartoon King of the Hill is very close to the truth for that part of Texas. Yet, it does not represent the entire state, any more than Guiliani represents all citizens of New York.

If you don't like Texas, fine. But know your facts before you attempt to bash.

[Joe Fields]

176. I never bash, unless there is good reason.

Don't even try to defend East Texas. I'll eat you alive.

[kentauros]

182. I'm not defending East Texas.

I already said it was a "whole 'nother country." Or are you not reading my posts thoroughly as I am yours?

[lonestarnot]

90. He's been kicked in the head one too many times. His face looks like evidence.

[ForrestGump]

121. It is better to give than to receive. This is especially true of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

It is said that looking into Chuck Norris' eyes will reveal your future. Unfortunately, everybody's future is always the same: death by a roundhouse-kick to the face.

[lonestarnot]

131. I'm not sure I understand your comment, could be taken as a veiled threat, could be taken as

agreement or maybe not taken at all. Would you like a chocolate?

[LynnTheDem]

92. Always a total asshole.

He gets credit for his consistency.

[Tabasco_Dave]

93. Didn't these assholes tell us to get over it

for the last eight years? :shrug:

[PopSixSquish]

94. Thousands of Right Wing Cells? ORLY?

Somebody smack this idiot and then throw him in jail.

[MilesColtrane]

95. Now that is the ultimate Chuck Norris joke.

It just can't get any funnier.

Problem is, there will always be pinheads like the very dead Tim McVeigh who will heed his call.

[VOX]

96. Vaya con dios, Chuck, don't let New Mexico catch you in the ass on your way out...

All from a short-dick runt who couldn't sell enough Bowflex torture-racks on late-night cable.

As I said in another post on the same subject:

Chuck Norris is one of those little guys with big heads (literally and figuratively). The guy's gotta be 5'6" tops, *before* he puts on the elevator shoes.

You could probably fit his entire fan base into one Wal-Mart store.

Texas, chocked full of all the "disenfranchised" religious loonies who want to secede from everyday life? ADIOS, motherfuckers!!! :bounce:

[kentauros]

150. Ya know, I am getting the distinct feeling that all of my one-on-one

replies, defending the state I love and live in (Texas) are being ignored by Brainless Brigade of Bashers. It's like you see the thread, react (jerk left knee forward) and post. Nevermind everything you have objected to has been addressed in previous posts by myself and a handful of other faithful Texans.

Do I have to call for Skittles to kick some ass? :P

[alfredo]

97. Sore Loser

[Oilwellian]

99. Video of Glenn Beck - "We Surround Them"

It appears this is his creation. Looks like he started it about a month ago. Guess he recruited crazy Chuck to rile the brownshirts. This could get ugly real quick.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKKUfmFL3Cs

If you really want to get creeped out, he talks further about the "movement" on his radio show:

"We Surround Them"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxnVCL_AGns
There are at least 3 more videos on this...all can be seen in the next link.

And check out his YouTube page and new logo...I couldn't help but think of George Burns when he said "this is God speaking.":

179. a month ago

So Obama had been our president for 19 days or so. what idiots.

[ddeclue]

103. OK... let's re-open Gitmo - we have apparently have a new terrorist to detain and torture...

Apparently that Walker Texas Ranger crap has gone to Chucky boy's head or he's taken too many round house kicks to the old noggin over the years...

:eyes:

Why do you hate America Chuck?

[ForrestGump]

105. He's totally lost the plot in recent years

I have no idea when, exactly, he went totally raving mad, but I have it on several good authorities that he used to be a decent dude, basically a good man. He was a force to be reckoned with in competitive karate way back and though I never met him I have known a few people who've trained with him and otherwise worked with him (business partner, sparring partner, stuntman) since at least the '70s and they said he was a good hombre though one very long-term comrade I knew in the early '90s noted that he was by then incisively business-savvy and he also dropped subtle clues that Chuckie's time in Hollywood seemed to eventually go to his head a little (he didn't outright express disappointment, but that's a martial artist thing, kinda). I read Chuck's autobiography, titled something like The Secret of Inner Strength and found it somewhat inspiring, and there's no doubt he had to work through a few major obstacles to achieve what he did. I never really was much into his movies, and have only seen a few (it's been many years, but I did kinda like Hero And The Terror in which, to some extent, he played against type) and I've never seen the infamous Texas Ranger TV show, but I certainly did maintain a generally positive impression of the dude and couldn't help but admire the vitality that he'd retained.

Still, most of what I've seen from him in the last two or three years seems to be both monumentally stupid and steeped in the most out-there neocon-Republican fantasies possible, undoubtedly very much like those Rush Limbaugh would have were he able to achieve even one situp. The mock-admiring Chuck Norris jokes that've been run into the ground of late do, I admit, tickle me, but the real Chuck Norris has gone way beyond a joke. Way beyond. I don't know what happened to the man, or when it happened -- it's happened to others who once seemed sane, too, as the disease of Ugly Americanism became ever more entrenched under neocon rule -- but whatever lingering admiration or appreciation I once had for Chuck Norris as a martial artist and as a person may as well be for another person entirely. The new Chuck Norris is one crazy mofo. A seditious one, too, it would appear.

As for the Texas bashing, well...that's about as far from a surprise as it's possible to get. It's SOP here in DU. Texas, the South, California...wherever. I thought he was from Oklahoma, anyway. Regardless, I'll add my voice to the chorus of those who find much worth in the land and the people of the Lone Star State (though, yeah, I'm not too fond of large tracts of it...thing is, just like this country, it's large enough that there's petty much something for everyone). For one, if it weren't for Texas there'd be no Tejanas, and that would be tragic, indeed.

[ForrestGump]

118. A quick perusal of the Internet suggests that 1988 was when he went off the rails.

In 1988 he became 'born again,' a Christian. Well, "Christian" in "quotation marks," I "suppose."

Also in 1988, he began contributing to Republican political funds.

And, in 1988, he divorced his wife of 30 years and married a former model 23 years his junior.

This was also the year of Braddock: Missing in Action III...


It's like a perfect storm of modern-day Republican mores.

[Pierre.Suave]

144. Ah yes, those good ol republican family values...

:eyes:

[kentauros]

152. Thank you for your little epilogue there

:)

And I wholeheartedly agree about those "huge tracts of land" we have here that make you wonder when you see it: how the hell can anyone live here?!

One other thing that I thought of while reading your great post that the nation and the world would tragically be missing without Texas: Hank Hill and his propane accessories :rofl:

East Texas really is like that, by the way :P

[SeattleGirl]

106. I guess when a republican does it, it's not treason.

:puke:

[depakid]

108. "If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state"

Perhaps a confederation with Alaska?

[treestar]

109. And yet we were traitors if we used our First Amendment right

to protest an unnecessary war!

Right wingers are hypocrites by definition.

[SeattleGirl]

111. Of course they are. n/t

[Raine]

112. Hey Chuck ... where were you the last 8 years

why didn't you call for revolution when all our civil rights were being taken away by an illegetimate misadministration??? :yoiks:

[SeattleGirl]

113. 'cause he probably had his head too far up Bush's arse.

Either that, or he just thinks that Repukes are the only ones with "rights". :crazy:

[Postman]

116. This f**king guy is insane.

Anyone else notice that hair helmut rug he wears?

[republicansarewhores]

117. Norris and Beck - Zarek and Gaeta

Anyone see the two episodes of this season's Galactica "Blood on the Scales" where Felix Gaeta and Tom Zarek led a mutiny against commander Adama and took over the ship?

It didn't end well.



I see Chuck Norris and Glenn Beck in those chairs facing the firing squad after their ill-conceived revolution.

RAW

[PA Democrat]

123. OMG. Did you read some of the comments below the article.

The racism, antisemitism, xenophobia in some of those comments were astounding.

[Jakes Progress]

188. Yep. Even the best of families

have their closet cases.

[Vinca]

124. Norris and his cronies (cells) should be investigaged for sedition.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

126. Let me see if I get this straight

We just got done enduring 8 long years of perhaps one of the most corrupt, abuse, and fascistic government administration since perhaps Nixon and, now that Obama is the President and the Democrats control Congress, our country is suddenly teetering on the verge of a massive left-wing dictatorship? Hyperbole much?

:crazy:

Norris, Beck, Limbaugh, et. al seem to have a massive "projection" problem verging on delusional.

[Canuckistanian]

127. He wants to be "president" of Texas?

Shouldn't that be "Emperor" of Texas?

[Odin2005]

128. Chuck is an evil, traitorous bastard. n/t.

[BurtWorm]

132. I wonder if the President of Texas will be supporting Huckabee for President of the US in 2012

and what Huckabee will do about that if he does.

[southernyankeebelle]

133. THERE IS GOES AGAIN THINKIN HE'S PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. HE A FREAKIN ACTOR. HE TAKES HIMSELF TO

SERIOUSLY. HE NEEDS TO GO OFF BY HIMSELF AND WAIT TIL THE GOOD LORD CALLS HIM. HE IS SO SILLY AND HE IS ON THE SAME PAR AS PALIN, THE PLUMMBER. HE IS INCITING RIOTS AND I WONDER IF BUSH WOULD HAVE HAD HIM ARRESTED HAD HE BEEN A DEMOCRATIC.

[rvablue]

137. Why isn't the MSM covering this??? A Hollywood actor calling for sedition....where is

Anderson Cooper with his dim-witted "keeping them honest" segment?

I'd love to see Chucky go on every news program and spout this shit. He's probably too much of a coward.

[windoe]

138. Wait a minute for a second....

Chuck Norris has the revolutionary stuff right, that we have lost a lot of rights, but somehow he is blind to who and what caused this situation. He reminds me of my brother, who has a lot of rage against the machine, but aims his wrath at the liberals....
Where was this guy when * was dismantling the Constitution????Huh?Huh? Right behind him!! This Texas stRanger needs to head into the Sunset and revolutionize his thinking process.

OK added to the list of Looney Tune characters: Yosemite Sam. (Already have Porky and Elmer Fudd....)

[Martin Eden]

148. There is some merit in his idea ...

... put all the wingnuts in Texas, and let them secede.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

159. Some swaggering adolescents never grow up.

[BikeWriter]

163. #### chuck norris and the horse he rode in on.

[New Dawn]

164. If someone left-wing would have said something like that during the Bush years...

They would have been imprisoned by the regime. Why isn't Chuck Norris going to jail?

[The Gunslinger]

171. He needs to be incarcerated immediately

It is simply treason.

[dana_b]

173. 45-50 days and he thinks TX should secede?

oh please.... you can tell he's an actor. And a bad one at that.

[Dukkha]

178. These rules are from Chuck Norris's personal code. seriously.

They are:

I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.
I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.
I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family.
I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.
If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness.
I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.
I will always remain loyal to God, my country, family and my friends.
I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country and myself.

[upi402]

180. I'd say he effed up a smidge...

I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.

[LiberalPersona]

185. The four principles

Discipline
Integrity
Loyalty
Respect

[carlyhippy]

184. Chuck Norris is hot.....but....what the french?!

Carly

[sweetpotato]

187. Sounds like terrorism to me

Is he being investigated?

[Botany]

191. what a tool
