Senile Dementia: Contagious?

Reagan spreading Alzheimer's to one of his flunkies might explain the following load of codswallop, said flunky having typed a book & begun skree-ing "Secession!" to attract the members of the herd, pack or tribe (pick one, depending on how much you wish to dehumanize the reactionary & senile elements polluting our culturekeeping us from having nice things) his publisher has targeted. We will textualize some of it for you, from Rabid Weasel Watch (where you should go to listen to all seven mins. of lip-flappin' foolishness).

Former flunky Douglas MacKinnon wants us to consider

a movement of states, starting with South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, to establish a new country that will adhere to the Religious Right’s political agenda.

Texas, MacKinnon explained, was not included in his secessionist blueprint because “there have been a number of incursions into Texas and other places from some of the folks in Mexico.”

Yeah, fuck them greasers. Damn dirty hippie paradise down there.

Also, from SalopeSalon:

Now hold your horses there, MacKinnon says: He’s only talking about secession as part of an “academic” exercise. He just wants his dear readers to think about what a “Duck Dynasty”-watching, Cracker Barrel-patronizing, skeet-shooting republic with NO GAYS ALLOWED would look like.

One circle or another of hell in our imagination.

Alas, this one thing all Americans of good will & honesty agree upon, that these delusional cultists should self-deport themselves into one corner or another of the continent & bugger off, will never happen. (Geeze, even the allegedly comic relief saddens me.) But it is another pretty tacit admission that the running dog reactionaries have lost the culture war they started & are ready to run away, tails between legs & whining even more bitterly than usual, but (& this really is sad) there's no place for them to run & hide in the 21st century.
