o

We have a black President of the United States.

Some folks are having a terrible time adjusting to that.

A lot of them live in Texas.

And some of them have found a wonderful way to say that they want to go back to counting blacks as 3/5th of a person, women having no vote, and white property owning men getting the damn respect they deserve.  They call it Going Back to Our Founding Fathers.

They call themselves The Independent Conservative Republicans of Texas.  They have 5 thingies they believe in.

-Stand for conservative principals and to put people before Party.

-Fiscally accountable, limit the size of government, and fight for free market principles.

-Protect our borders and to support a strong military.

-Protect life, support strong family values, and uphold the Judeo-Christian beliefs our nation was founded upon.

-Honor the Constitution and protect the sovereign rights of Texas.

Those are some very pretty words that mean:  we believe in letting the banks own the country, the church own women’s bodies, the military industrial complex own the teenagers, nobody owns the Mexicans, and don’t forget to hate the Muslims, all because Jesus said so, dammit.

The Independent Conservative Republicans of Texas seems like an awfully long name for a bunch of old white guys scared witless by a world where someone dares to question that mental prowess, their physical strength, their amazing wisdom, and their lite beer.

Juanita suggests that we call them The Scared Witless Willies.

It’s a start.
