If he does, we ALL know what will happen.

He will die?

I heard about this the other day. I think it's cute how he's calling this right wing-centric movement a "second American Revolution" when in reality it would be a "second American Civil War" because right wing as of now is just a fancy term for illiterate southerner.

Yep. Thousands of southerners, just waiting to die fighting against tyranny and injustice and the demonocrats just like they were the last time a black man was president. Yee haw.

I'm not even going to read that

Bunch of load mouthed morons in communes, they talk big but they never do anything because they are too damn cowardly. Not that it would be good if they did do anything.

Uh, no, hippies are in communes, and hippies aren't republicans.

^^ Someone explain how the founding fathers were mostly humanists or whatever again, I'm lazy.

I knew Norris was pretty out there, but apparently I had no idea just how insane he is.

Part of me almost wants to see this happen, just so I can see the argument about the 2nd Amendment protecting us from our government debunked once and for all.

Chuck's "career" has already underwent the "infomercial" stage which is as much of a swansong as the sound of a raccoon being dragged across the pavement. It's time for him to go the way of every B-rated actor and disappear off the face of the earth.

....:psyduck:

good lord...

I blame the meme. It brought him back (and then he sued).
Me, I was hating Chuck Norris before it was cool

I've read one of his books. He's actually quite articulate, Jon.

Yes, I'm sure the other revolutionaries are also aware of this.

Whats funnier then the article is the comments. Its worse then youtube.. or hell even a massassi religion thread.

I take insult to that comment. Yes, there's a thousands of southerners that allow their ideology to blind them from making rational decisions. But it's not just southerners. The same is true all over the world.

Yis but onlee in the southern part o' the world.

F.E.A.R. -The Chuck Norris Rebellion.
I can just see all the mind controlled Chuck clones revolting.

You know, I agree with his point, but I definitely disagre with his way of presenting it. And this is coming from an atheist, so you can be sure it's not about that.

Jon, c'mon. You're too smart to be such a dick.

What I agree with is that we have strayed way too far from what the founding fathers intended. And yeah, that was a long time ago. People never hesitate to remind me. But they were smart guys, and they were in a unique position to carefully plan and create a new government. Not just let one form, but to CREATE one. And in doing so they thought about it, and fought about it, a LOT. And I still feel that they got it pretty much right. But we've strayed from that, and now both parties seem to be fighting for a government to watch over us, instead of letting us watch over ourselves.

Chuck Norris is stupid for saying we'll rise up and start an armed rebellion. That Texas will secede and he'll run for president. That is ridiculous.

But I think his point is that there is a large portion of this country that disagrees with the way things are being run and understands whose responsibility it is to fix it. I think he was trying to say, don't try to take that right and that responsibility away from those people by continuing to transfer power to the government and away from the people.

He just chose a real stupid sensationalist way to present that. Of course, I could be wrong, maybe he really is just completely crazy! It is infomercial Chuck "my entire career is enjoyed ironically" Norris, after all.

Here, I drew you a Venn Diagram:

I place myself squarely in the center of the YEE-****ING-HAW portion of the diagram, on the grounds that Yee-Haw is an expression worthy of being carried into the future.

Jon`C is the diagram to scale?

no

phew that's a relief

Venn diagrams are used as a tool for parsing logical expressions (i.e. "he's calling this right wing-centric [...], right wing as of now is just a fancy term for illiterate southerner"). It's not a pie chart, it doesn't illustrate quantity.

I understand the point of a Venn Diagam, but I think it would be possible to create a hybrid chart that does illustrate quantity.

You could suggest the overlap of Illiterates and Southerners while suggesting the percentage of Southerners that are non-Republican.

Normally this is done by placing statistics on the chart itself

Basically I wondered if your intent was to suggest that the ratio of non-Republican southerners to total southerners was the ratio of green to blue+violet in the chart.

P.S. I've got a couple of statistics I'd like to place on your chart, iycmd.

nm

I just checked, it is. Nicely done.

This is the entire point of what they set up.

According to Wikipedia 99% of the USA is literate. I'm quite sure the Southern states don't make up 1% of the United States population, therefore it seems likely the majority of southern conservatives are, in fact, literate.

According to the article posted in the OP, "thousands of cell groups" are waiting to launch their attack. Given that a cell can mean anything from 6-20, we're given an approximate minimum of 12,000 which fits comfortably within the 1% illiteracy rate.

Although I was somewhat sarcastic, I will admit you could be right about the cell groups being illiterate. I do, however, believe that these thousands of cell groups aren't much of a threat if they're illiterate.

Are you kidding? Illiterate people are the most dangerous because they have no opportunity to educate themselves. They'll believe whatever a personal authority figure - in this case, Chuck Norris - tells them to do.

Why do you think Al Qaeda recruitment is so high in Pakistan but so low in Egypt?

The best part is Chuck Norris pretending to be a constitutional scholar.

Looks who's talki--

Are you referring to them intending for the constitution to change with time to reflect the needs of future generations? If so, then I see your point, and I understand and appreciate that. However, the most important thing to a republic is law, and that law is set down by the constitution. Yes, it was also meant to be interpreted as needed, however I think the extent to which the modern government "interprets" the constitution falls more into "ignoring" than anything else. If you want to do something not in the constitution, you change the constitution through amendments, you don't just do it and chalk it up to the constitution being outdated. As soon as you start down that road, you're back down the road where "the government" is a body of rulers, while as I see it, "the government" should not RULE anything, rather the LAW should rule, and the government should be a servant to that law.

I realize that this may sound like silly wordplay, but it's mostly because I am not as articulate as is necessary to get my point across. It just seems like lately the government is becoming a ruling body that dictates the way that we live dependent upon the will of the majority. A democracy, if you will. And that is something that America was created to fight, because after all, democracy is just oppression of the minority by the majority. That's why America is (was) a republic. To keep ANY group from oppressing ANY other group, by guaranteeing that individuals had the liberty to do as they wished so long as it did not infringe upon another's right to do so.

Nowadays it seems like republicans and democrats are just two groups of people trying to create laws to force the country to live they way they think they should live.

Sorry, ranted again.

Oh, and Jon'C, your Venn diagram is nice, but it illustrates my point. All non-republican southerners are literate? Only illiterate southerns say "yee-haw"? Also, where do you define the south as? On what grounds? I find your argument lacking, sir! I am literate, and yet I say yee-haw...where do I stand?

I for one welcome our new beared overlord.

Also, as a literate Southerner, at first I was offended by this diagram, then I remembered that I don't care.

I was also offended by that diagram because I'm british and not in it
