Weekend Update - Up Late Edition

• There's been a lot of them in our short American history. "Patriot groups" they're sometimes called. The Ku Klux Klan was one of them. The American Militia Movement is another. And now there's these Tea Partiers. There are scores of patriot groups, but what makes Oath Keepers unique is that its core membership consists of men and women in uniform, including soldiers, police, and veterans. At regular ceremonies in every state, members reaffirm their official oaths of service, pledging to protect the Constitution—but then they go a step further, vowing to disobey "unconstitutional" orders from what they view as an increasingly tyrannical government. These are scary people. And dangerous.


• Here's a good reason to take the day off and get drunk: Graphic details of perverted sex practices are being taught to high school children, and parents are being locked out of assemblies lead by radical homosexual activists. How long will it be before sex between adults and children is just the next barrier to be torn down? How long will it take before radical homosexual activists achieve their next evil objective? Not just lying silly nonsense, but a whole new outlandish kind of ignorance presented by Mark Morford in "Radical Homosexuals Ate My Baby!"


• If President Obama is thinking about replacing white house Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Michael Moore would be happy to take the job. All he has to do is ask.


• Apparently, if you're conservative, you believe attorneys should only represent the "good guys." Fox News host and Bad Hat Idiot of the Week Sean Hannity led the charge on the conservative network, doing his best impersonation of Sen. Joe McCarthy, saying, "If you're going to work in our Justice Department ... and you represented Al Qaeda, I want to know who you are." He later stated, "Obama is weak. He's an appeaser. Obama is making this country and every citizen vulnerable to attack." It's yet another case of "Bush-nesia," because Bush's DOJ team hired lawyers to represent terrorist suspects too.


• From Arthur in Marin County (w/ tongue firmly in cheek): It had to happen. Someone had to come up with an anti-tea-party-party. I mean, is TEA really all that American? Nooo. Our founding street thugs threw it in the harbor for a good reason. It was a foreign and suspect beverage. Now who could feel that way about coffee? Is there anything more quintessentially American than a cup of java? Okay, barbequed ribs and hamburgers, but still, coffee is pretty patriotic. Okay, beer, but really coffee is way mainstream. Nobody has large tea containers with a spigot on the side, do they? and hasn't "tea" always been kind of effete and "English"? We KNOW that all the English are gay, right? I mean, the way they talk and all that? I've made my case. March 13th is National Coffee Party Day!
