Texas is Gonna Texas (1 Viewer)

The Americans are coming! Some in a Texas county fear an Obama-led U.S. military invasion.

BASTROP, Texas — The office of the Bastrop County Republican Party is in an old lumber mill on Main Street, with peeling brown paint and a sign out front that captures the party’s feelings about the Obama administration: “WISE UP AMERICA!”

Inside, county Chairman Albert Ellison pulled out a yellow legal pad on which he had written page after page of reasons why many Texans distrust President Obama, including the fact that, “in the minds of some, he was raised by communists and mentored by terrorists.”

So it should come as no surprise, Ellison said, that as the U.S. military prepares to launch one of the largest training exercises in history later this month, many Bastrop residents might suspect a secret Obama plot to spy on them, confiscate their guns and ultimately establish martial law in one of America’s proudly free conservative states.

They are not “nuts and wackos. They are concerned citizens, and they are patriots,” Ellison said of his suspicious neighbors. “Obama has really painted a portrait in the minds of many conservatives that he is capable of this sort of thing.”

GEDs at best is my guess

I love it how someone drew up a stupid map that was just done for illustrative purposes for like 10 people and these nutcases took it to mean Texas was classified a terrorist state.

To think, just 8 years ago it was the left that was afraid that Bush, after masterminding the 9/11 attacks, was going to use the war as an excuse to halt the elections, bring back the draft so he can send all the democrats off to be killed in the war, come out and say that Osama had been captured and killed (even though he never really existed) to increase his and the GOP's popularity and rig all the diebold voting machines which would guarantee republican victories forever.

Obama should show up at the exercise and ride a tank into town with a Mission Accomplished banner in town and give a speech ala Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles

That place looks great. I wonder if Obama is going to keep it open after the occupation.

I don't think anyone, anywhere on or outside the political spectrum, thought Bush "masterminded" anything.

Jade Helm has ended. Did we successfully conquer Texas? Are the Walmart's still open?

All the dooshbags that pushed this ridiculous story should be forever banned from expressing another opinion in the media. I am talking about Cruz, Norris, Jones, Gohmert, Perry and good Ol Rand. Those 6 idiots should be publically shamed and driven from the public square never to be heard from again. Unfortunately they'll keep on keeping on and the media will pretend they have some level of legitimacy.

I had forgotten about Abbot. He's an idiot as well.

 

[Amused to Death]

During the debate, they should ask Cruz when he thinks Obama's coming back to finish the job. See if he's gotten any more info from the Pentagon.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

So we successfully annexed Texas, right?

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

I think Rachel Maddow nailed it when she said these nutjobs will just claim it was their warnings and vigilance that stopped the invasion.

I remember when it was Clinton. The same deal. False crisis, martial law, emergency power, dictator forever.

I'm sure if I was older I would remember Reagan doing it as well.

It's a tin hate tradition, like Christmas that comes every 8 years or so.

I lived through Reagan and I don't remember anything like this. Nor qith Carter. We caught Nixon up to tricks but wven then norhing like thia crap. It really started with the GOP becoming unhinged during the Clinton years as I recall.
