Just Wondering

Juanita wants to know, “What happened to the good ole days when old white guys went to Florida and played shuffleboard?”
Right-wing extremists who question the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency tried to take on local law enforcement recently — and they seem to have come out on the losing end.
First, a Tennessee man was arrested after walking into his local county courthouse to try to effect a citizen’s arrest of a grand jury foreman who had refused to investigate President Obama’s legitimacy to serve — an encounter partially caught on video. That enraged one Georgia-based member of the far-right OathKeepers group. Responding to a call from an extremist leader, he drove to Tennessee with an AK-47 in a bid to get his comrade released — only to wind up getting arrested himself.
“The last damn thing this country needs is a bunch of cranky old white guys running around with AK-47’s. They need to sit on their front porch and throw rocks at little kids who come in their yards. The next time I see one of these guys doing his so-called ‘protecting America’ thing, I’m gonna sneak up behind him and tell him that all the neighborhood kids are in his yard.”
“Plus, they don’t need to be talking about the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson was 33 years old when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and King George III was 38. So, you old guys need to go home. Join a bowling league. And get your pant down from under your armpits – you look silly.”
