Minnesota GOP Edges Toward Secessionism. They Can't Edge Any Closer To Stupidity.

From The Land Of Ten Thousand Lakes & a Bachmann, Minnesota's completely Goofy Old Party bring us their gubernatorial candidate, Minnesota State Sen. Tom Emmer, another ante-bellum Southerner who seems to have migrated as far north as he could get & still remain in these United Snakes.

"Oh oh, hey by the way, we also apparently have to look at this country and be extremely critical of the United States of America, and start kissing the rear end of the people on the other side of the Atlantic," Emmer said mockingly. "That's ridiculous, and I'm sick and tired of hearing it. I'm hearing it out of Washington, now I'm hearing it here. This is a great country, Rep. Knuth."

If it's so fucking great, Senator, why are you trying to break it up?

Emmer was first elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2004. He is a co-author of a proposed state constitutional amendment that would, to borrow the words of Nigel Tufnel, turn the Tenth Amendment all the way up to 11, with Minnesota preemptively nullifying all federal laws unless a state supermajority consents to them. Here is the key quote from the amendment's text: "A federal law does not apply in Minnesota unless that law is approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each house of the legislature and is signed by the governor. Before voting to approve a federal law, each legislator must individually affirm that the legislator has read the federal law and understands it."

We'll type it here & now: Just Another Blog™ stands firmly against affirmative action programs for the stupid & willfully ignorant, & calls out the Minnesota Republican Party for its support of people like this Emmer idiot. Where's that meritocracy, reactionaries? (They like a mediocracy, you know. No elitists or thinkers involved there.)
