Bubba X admits that every time the 6:00 news headlines a murder or a rape, he secretly, in the back of his head, prays “Oh dear God, please don’t let it be a black guy who’s done it.”

Bubba X knows what it’s like to be black and to be stereotyped.

Juanita feels the same way about her beloved Texas.  “Every single time a congressvarmint say something gosh-awful, I pray, ‘Dear God, let them be from South Carolina.’  And, sometimes, that works,” she says with only a slight nervous grin.

But, not this time.

You know that Guardians of the Free Republics group sending oddball letters to the Governors?

Yep.

The man at the center of the Guardians of the free Republics is Texas talk-show host Sam Kennedy – and he’s already gotten a Texas radio station in hot water as law enforcement reacted rapidly to what has been construed as a direct threat to all 50 US governors.

Mr. Kennedy “is the focal point of this, these guardians. He was in the mix in setting this whole thing up, and he’s up to his eyeballs in this Restore America project,” says John Stadtmiller, who runs Republic Broadcasting Network based in Round Rock, Texas, which broadcasts Kennedy’s weekly “Take No Prisoners” show. Restore America project, as articulated on the Guardians of the free Republics website, is part screed, part call to action to depose an illegitimate government in favor of restoring the people’s “common law.”

The website describes it as “a war college restoration strategy for regaining control [of government in the states] quietly, efficiently and quickly without provoking controversy, ridicule, violence or civil war.” It purports to have military backing for a takeover.

Juanita admits to be a radio fan.  She owns more radios than most sane people can count and listens to shortwave for fun.  “I’ve had to cut back on listening,” she says, “because it’s gotten so full of cussidness that I end up with a mouthful of my own heart before I can turn it off.  Their favorite tune is El Deguello and they have freon instead of blood in their veins.”

“And now that we find there’s a Texas connection to this group, I’m sad.  And it ain’t from way out there in West Texas where the sun knocks a brick out of the fireplace every time it goes down.  Nope, it’s in beautiful Round Rock, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, next door to Austin, the most liberal part of Texas.  Honey, I don’t even want to think about what’s going on in the Piney Woods where the conservatives are.”

“I’ve read some of the stuff this crazy Texas man is doing.  If loco was dirt, he’d be about 20 acres.”

God bless Texas.  We’re needing it about now.
