Daily Kos: Conservatives Should Leave Obama's America, Move to Somalia
Liberals have always cartooned conservatives as the ones who would say "America, love it or leave it." But with Barack Obama in the White House, they want the Obama critics to go back to Africa. Or at least that's what "Hunter" wrote on the Daily Kos on Wednesday night.
"This won't be a particularly insightful post, mainly because I'm just tired of these people and wish they would go away, or secede,' he wrote. Although it was one long run-on sentence: "...or whatever it is they need to do to separate themselves from the rest of modern society and live out their lily-white no-immigrant no-Muslims no-athiests [sic] no-gay-people no-liberals no-moderates no-funny-dressers Talibanesque fantasies about how a country should be run (tip: land in Somalia is very, very cheap these days)." The target was Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback:
I'm often convinced that far-right conservative political leaders are not so much interested in the "governing" part as they are in some secret back-room wager on who can be the biggest public jackass, the most often, and on the most issues. Nobody could blame you if you put money down on Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback in a bet like that: After all, the extreme and impressive degree to which he sucks is legendary even among Kansas schoolchildren.
Someday there is going to be a statue of him in the Kansas capitol, and on the bottom will be a dedication to a great man who proved that while anyone can be a jackass, it takes true commitment to become the greatest jackass, someone known for their numerous prejudices, thin-skinnedness, nearly sociopathic lack of compassion, and so many other things that the bottom of the plaque will simply have an asterisk and a note on the bottom to check Wikipedia if you want to know more about Sam Brownback, who dedicated his life to competing for the title of History's Greatest Jackass.
Hunter's beef is that Gov. Brownback has devoted himself to repealing archaic laws, but has not done so for sodomy, even though the law was overruled by the Supreme Court in the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision:
You would think if there was an "outdated" law ready-made for Brownback's Office of the Repealer to haul off and repeal already, it would be one that cannot actually be acted upon.
In normal circumstances that would be true, but normal circumstances do not take into account that Sam Brownback is competing for History's Greatest Jackass, nor that, like most of his contemporary far-right Republicans, he has absolutely no issue with passing, enforcing and/or keeping-on-the-books laws that are anti-constitutional but nonetheless make him feel good or pander to the right crowd. The Constitution is something to carry in your pocket, not something to actually govern by, after all. That would be silly!
Hunter cracked: "Who knows: Maybe Christian Sharia will finally be implemented in America, and then those laws will be just fine again!"

Why should conservatives be the ones to move there?
The libs are in such a hellbent-for-leather stampede to turn the U.S. into Somalia (or some other third/fourth-world basket case, take your pick), they should just skip the whole painful (for us) process and jump straight ahead to their desired end-state and move there themselves. Job done. Saves everyone a lot of time, money and agony.
But, then "they" (our cultural effete overlords) would no longer be in the leadership/ruling elite over the great unwashed masses (not be confused with the Occupying-space unwashed loonies) like they are here. Instead they'd just be part of the larger crowd of the average poor folk. Their fragile egos could never survive the shock. It might be entertaining to watch, however.

"On Friday, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback released a long list of state statutes that he thinks are outdated and should be tossed out. He even issued an executive order last year to create a new position, the Office of the Repealer, to come up with that list. But his final product did not include the repeal of the state's anti-sodomy law.
Despite the fact that the Supreme Court ruled that anti-sodomy laws were unconstitutional in 2003, Kansas has kept its own law on the books."
Is that all it would take to make him happy....?

I think Wright WAS a moooooooooooooooslem before he took his own direction with the 'black theology', using Christianity as a front - it was probably a practical move in his part of the city, since there were a lot more 'black Christians' who were willing to get sucked into his BS.
Of course, Barry never heard any of it............and he's never made mention of his moooooooooooooslem - whoops - Christian faith either, although I have heard him telling other mooooooooooooooooooslems about what an important role Islam ( you know, the 'religion of peace', right??) has had in the history of the USA (jeez, the things I've learned since Boy BlahBlah was crowned our King and Great Messiah!!!), as well as the fact that the USA (the God-Damn USA, by the way) is one of the biggest mooooooooooooooooslem countries in the world.
Oh, yeah - the communist part??? No chance of that either - no proof, no evidence, no agenda.........case closed.
And the 'birther' part?? Say whatever you want to, and believe whatever you want to also...........the real truth my never be reported. But I DO know that his 'typical white grandmother' was kept under lock and key all during the campaign, and that she died - quite conveniently and mysteriously - right before Boy Barry was coronated. Of course, she didn't really know anything, did she??? They just wanted to 'protect her privacy'.

About rev. Wright. Anyone even remotely associated with him should never even be considered for POTUS. But we all know the double standard don't we? Libs want to know what kind of superman undies a republican candidate wore when they were 5 but we can't even get student transcripts or talk about past associations, much less the lack of qualifications from a liberal. If you question why a foreign raised radical wants to be POTUS or his non-qualifications, you are just a racist
