There is a new movement that has taken idiotic storm...
In an earlier post I wrote about how there were petitions at WhiteHouse.GOV made by people asking for their States to be allowed to secede from the United States of America because they are upset that a legal election happened and their political party lost.
The number of States with petitions has increased to 22... making me wonder how long it will be until every State is listed by people who lose an election as gracefully as a spoiled 10 year old looses a game of Monopoly!
I have an idea for a new petition and wonder if I were to create it at WhiteHouse.GOV in the "We the People" petitions area just how many signatures it would get.
My idea... "Petition to request mental evaluations on those petitioning to Secede from the United States of America"!
I am sorry (okay, I am not one bit sorry) but losing an election is not a valid reason for wanting to leave a country you claim to love. The same people who have posted these idiotic waste of time (though amusing to those with rational thought) were the ones who considered themselves to be the new "Tea Party"and claimed to be "true Americans" and patriots.
They are now proving their absolute patriotism by wanting to leave the very country that they rabidly declared to love, with hand over heart screaming the 'Pledge of Allegiance' and calling anyone that did not flock to Fox News in droves and drink the Conservative Crazy Kool-Aid (now in Patriotic Punch!) a socialist communist traitor.
It really does boggle the mind just how they jump from declaring to be a 'true patriot' to wanting to expatriate simply because the Democratic process the United States of America allows people to vote with majority rule deciding who will hold the office of President every four years and the person they were told would win by the only 'news' (and I use that term lightly) agency they watched did not win.
I think the truth of the matter is that we have witnessed the true Zombie Apocalypse... people allowed their minds to be taken over by a single source of information and became mindless drones repeating whatever their ideologue told them to and like a cult drank their Kool-Aid. They sat waiting for the election like cultists waiting for a comet to come and take them to a wonderful new world. When the comet never arrived they were bitter and needed to lash out, so they raced to their creator and bowed to the network talking heads awaiting their new instructions.
Instead of blaming their news source for passing on skewed polls and false information as fact they decided that the Nation itself was in the wrong and they no longer wanted any part of it. Had they bothered to view any other source of information they would have realized that there was a chance they could lose the election... but they were told not to watch or listen to anything not Fox approved and like good little Zombies they obeyed.
The patriotic punch just gives me heartburn, a cult is a cult is a cult, and Fox News has been running one as long as they have been allowed. Just my opinion of course.
