Juanita was over at the VFW dance this weekend and heard tell of a candidate in Dallas, Texas, who is doubling-down on scare-the-pants-off-you crazy.

His name is Stephen Broden and he’s running for the United States Congress.

Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.

“If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary,” Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain’s King George III.

Broden says that violent overthrow of the United States of America is not his “first option.”   I suspect that’s good to know.

“Now just to gild that lily, I need to tell you that Broden is a pastor,” Juanita reports.  “I have no idea if his church is filling the baptismal tank with  ammo and the choir is wearing camo, but I think someone with a peach pit size of sanity needs to go check.”

“Last year Broden claimed that  the economic crash in the housing, banking and automotive industries were  “contrived” and a “set up” by the Obama administration,” she says.

“It’s like I always say: talk is cheap, but whiskey costs money.  Apparently, the mission fund is being used at Jim Bob’s House of Guns and Cheap Liquor.”

Apparently it is.
