Well Hell, We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Supreme Court
I think I told you about our sheriff here in Fort Bend, Troy Nehls, who thinks he is a lawyer because he went to Jerry Falwell’s online Liberty University. He’s the guy who called the President “a clown.” He’s also of the belief that Second Amendment is absolute, so I should be able to own a nuclear weapon, a bomber, and the biggest damn diesel powered turbo pumpkin chunker in a five state area.
Well, there’s more than one of him.
We have right here a little You Tube – Momma, do NOT watch this – from Mark Kessler, Police Chief of the Gilberton, Pennsylvania. I need to warn you that Chief Kessler is a man who loves to use the F word, mainly because it’s one of the 50 or so words he knows. Kessler is trying to get together a posse, no wait – “a Reserve Force” to stave off Hitler, no wait, Obama from taking away his guns.
You’re gonna love this and also the radio reporter interviewing him.
Thanks to Hippie in the Hollar for the heads up.
They both sound just brilliant.
1Darned happy to learn that the only reason people talk potty mouth is cuz they couldn’t learn anything else beyond that. Thank you, Juanita Jean! You just cleared up a huge mystery for this old English teacher!
2The reporter has a great future in conservative talk radio. I’m sure the sheriff would stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow believers just like people in the South did when slavery was outlawed. Their interpretation of the Constitution isn’t based on facts but on convenience.
3Maybe I’m becoming an alarmist, but these paranoiacs are beginning to scare me. Is it catching? Am I afraid of them because they’re so afraid of the President?
I guess every corner of Texas has a group of these who are preparing for what they call “when the SHTF,” (it involves something hitting the fan), and they are seriously stockpiling guns, ammo, foodstuffs, and gawdknowswhatelse in preparation for it. Here in my little berg, they rant about it on a local forum, all hoping our new sheriff will sign on to oppose the expected confiscation.
Lord help us.
4Another yahoo who took an oath of office to uphold the law and the constitution. I guess he meant he would uphold laws he agreed with and gets to decide, himself, what’s constitutional.
Jesus wept.
5Well…….ain’t he sumpin speshul…….he’s using up way more than his share of the air.
6Scarifying, innit? Try to keep an even strain and remember that nothing is as good or bad as it seems.
7Ummm, when he takes his uniform off and stands in the line? I’m out of here. snicker
8Holy crap! A reporter who can’t talk, and a sheriff who thinks other law enforcement officers are thugs!!
9Obviously, whatever is in your water isn’t fatal- but y’all need to fast forward those water treatment plans collecting dust on the shelf!!
By 2043, this country will be minorty-majority.
Every time you wonder about stupid rednecks with guns, yelling about tyranny, states’ rights, patriotism, vote fraud, immigration, war on Christmas, the gay agenda and most especially about our “foreign,” unAmerican, socialist President, remember that fact.
By 2043, this country will be minority-majority.
Bottom line: the GOTP has become the party of identity politics, highly agitated now that the melting pot is going to end up a nice shade of off-white. The Civil War began because a handful of rich white men were deeply invested in maintaining a status quo with them at the top of the pyramid, and poor whites signed on to keep their own place in the social hierarchy intact. Both groups feared the political power of the people they had kept down for so long.
Nothing much has changed about them in 150 years. But the landscape around them has changed greatly.
By 2043, this country will be minority-majority.

11Wait just a minute, JJ! You mean to tell me that our Constitution protects domestic terrorists’ rights to have Dirty Harry Nukes? Oh my, I’m slipping… falling… down the slippery slope into the rabbit hole as I type.
12And from Austin Texas:

I got this from a friend:
“Here in “the LIBERAL OASIS of Texas” even, these people (99% white guys) call in every single a.m. to KLBJ talk radio with this sort of ultra-right-wing crap……the entire
5 a.m. to 9 a.m. slot…….and one of the co-hosts, “Sgt Sam” (a former Austin policeman) is the most fervent of them all……on every topic there is!”
13daChipster: Now, if we can get a posse of those majority/minority types to saunter around Gilberton, PA, with their assault rifles hitched up under their arms, I wonder how good ol’ Chief Kessler will feel about the right to bear arms then, huh?
14djw,
I always said that, in states where your gun license qualifies as voter id, every non-white should present one at the polls.
The Law of Unintended Consequences, Bucho-Style!
15Dudes!! Obama isn’t coming into your home to take your guns. He’s going to have some guy in a bunker somewhere fire a missle from a drone into your bunker. You’ll never see it coming.
16According to the somewhat peculiar laws of Pennsyltucky, a Borough (also spelled Boro) may have its own police force and its own regulations. Smallish ones like Gilberton (population less than 1000 and almost all of them ethnically white) often have a police officer whose primary duty is to set up speed detection equipment (no radar allowed except by the State Police) and issue speeding tickets which serve as a revenue source. The police officer of Hartleton, PA (a bit this side of Lewisburg) has said that since they instituted their police force 20+ years ago they have not had to raise taxes at all. So I don’t think that El Jefe Kessler is even going to have the opportunity to do anything more than talk out of both ends of his tube at the same time.
As for the ordinance written by the Chief of Police, even a half-baked borough like Gilberton has a Borough Council which has a solicitor who advises them on the legality of various laws that they may intend to enact. That isn’t any guarantee that the council will listen to advice of counsel (after all they were dumb enough to hire this clown-faced diphthong as their police officer) but there may be one or two who don’t fancy becoming laughingstocks. I give this at best a 50-50 chance.
17All that gun confiscation in N’Awlins, who was Preznit back then?
Who ordered the national guard in to act in a military fashion on US soil rather than strictly in an aid capacity? (Hint: almost certainly the Gov of LA)
So far as pottymouth cop goes, I think he was saying “thugs” more than the f bomb.
Is it safe to assume this um- ‘radio host’ is broadcasting live? I can’t imagine attempting to edit that torrent of incoherence into your standard 30 second soundbyte.
18That PA dude is a typical small-town cop who has a love-hate relationship with the locals who have little else to talk about but local gossip. Now they at least have something else – “the feds are coming to git yur guns” – to yak about. Their boys sign up for the military before their senior year of H.S. as a ticket out of town & they have no other way to make a living, then return to become the town cop who knows where the kids stash their booze & drugs. It’s an endless, mindless cycle.
19What does all this have to do with Troy Nehls? Or was this just a way to dig at the guy that beat your guy?
I did all I could to get Troy Nehls, an unashamed, big ol honking republican, elected. And as mostly a democrat, I have no shame.
In fact, if all the facts ever come out, fort bend county will want to erect a statue to me and Leeanne for running that little creep Brady out of town. You can’t imagine what he and his buddies were pulling. Lay off Nehls for about a year!
20I don’t know which is more frightening–this guy with guns or this guy taking off his uniform.
