In Which I Question the Patriotism of Republicans
FIrst it was religious conservatives wanting to form a new nation in South Carolina, then it was talk show lunatic Glen Beck wanting red states to secede, now it's Kung Fu has-been Chuck Norris wanting to be President of a secessionist Texas:

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.
From the East Coast to the "Left Coast," America seems to be moving further and further from its founders' vision and government.

A generation ago, liberals were more loyal to their ideology than they were to the country. Conservatives eviscerated those liberals -- and, by extension, the Democratic Party that tolerated them -- as unpatriotic and anti-American.

What now to say of conservatives -- and, by extension, the Republicans who tolerate them -- whose loyalty to their ideology is so fierce that they advocate the destruction of the United States? A party that openly hopes the President fails and the country is crippled economically so that their ideology might once again reign supreme?

I guess we would have to call the Republican Party unpatriotic and anti-American. It seems, by the standards of the Republican Party itself, we have no other logical choice.

3. Don't forget the AIP.
Todd Palin wanted Alaska to secede. And remember the Civil War? The right-wingers of the day were the slaveholding secessionists. And what about the Revolution? The right-wing Tories didn't even want America to exist, preferring a king.

Conservatives have a long history of resisting and attacking liberal democracies like America.
