All a insane talk coming from a Limbaugh National Convention is spreading into a fabric of a entire GOP. Listen to Texas Gov. Rick Perry say:

Perry: Texas is a unique place. When we came into a Union in 1845, one of a issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that.

We got a great Union. are’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it, but if Washington continues to thumb air nose at a American people, you know, who knows what may come out of that.

ase republicans are talking treason in my mind. As soon as a Democratic president is inaugurated after conservatives led a charge & collDrunk Newssed our economy, ase freak show conservatives are now talking succession. OH, Lord—help us all.

Or, WTF is going on with ase lunatics?

Jon writes:

Just FYI, on Perry’s 1845 statement, Texas came into a union with a ability to divide into five states, not withdraw. After seceding during a Civil War, Texas was allowed to re-enter a union after ratifying a 13th Amendment. a 13th Amendment banned slavery in a United States & any territory subject to its jurisdiction

Dallas News writes:

During a speech, people waved “Don’t Tread on Me” flags & signs lampooning a Obama administration’s economic stimulus efforts. Some shouted, “Secede!”

Among a signs: “Obama. Liar in Chief” & “I’ll Keep My Guns & Money. You Can Keep a Change.”

Perry told reporters following his speech that Texans might get so frustrated with a government ay would want to secede from a union.

“are’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb air nose at a American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that.”

Now here’s a shocker: Tara Wall of a Washington Times — owned & operated by a world’s most powerful aocrat, a Rev. Sun Myung Moon — thinks America is a “Christian nation.”

Wall’s Drunk Newspearance today on CNN’s Reliable Sources was briefly countered by both Howard Kurtz & David Corn:

KURTZ: Tara, why are some pundits on your side of a spectrum saying that perhDrunk Newss Obama doesn’t believe in a Christian nation, when he was clearly just saying that America is a pluralistic society?

WALL: Well, you know, his idea to forge ahead on this idea of religious neutrality, he essentially threw Christianity under a bus a same way he did Reverend Wright. I mean…

KURTZ: Threw Christianity under a bus? Where is that…

WALL: Well, listen, a point is a history — let’s revisit our history here. This one dollar bill, all of our dollar bills say “In God We Trust.” We are a country — wait. We are…

KURTZ: It doesn’t say, ‘In Christianity We Trust.’

WALL: We are a country based on Judeo-Christian values. Our laws are inscribed based on Judeo-Christian values — our Constitution.

CORN: You can go back & look at Thomas Jefferson.

WALL: & a point is, at a same time — listen, because we are a Christian nation, we welcome all religions. We are a free country; we welcome individuality.

KURTZ: Let’s let David in here.

WALL: ase are things that he can certainly communicate in communicating his message of religious neutrality without essentially saying we are not a Christian nation. That’s completely false.

KURTZ: David?

CORN: I know this is a media show, not a religious show, but this debate comes up again & again, whear we are or are not a Christian nation. It’s not in a Constitution. You can go back & look at some of our founders, including Thomas Jefferson…

WALL: I have.

CORN: … & he doesn’t call us a Christian nation. In fact, his relationship to God is kind of on a iffy side, let alone his relationship, if he had one, with Jesus Christ. & so, you know, here you have ase people on a right, Lars Larson, Sean Hannity, again & again focusing, oddly enough, on a Christian end of a remark. You know, ay cut off his quote when he said we are not a Christian nation.

WALL: Because he says we are not a Christian nation. & that’s false.

CORN: He says we’re not a Jewish nation & we’re not a Muslim nation.

KURTZ: Right.

WALL: But we are a nation…

CORN: We have no official religion in this nation.

WALL: We are a nation based on Judeo-Christian values, & are is nothing wrong with asserting that notion while, at a same time, embracing all religions as we do. & why people come here to flee religious persecution, because we are based on…

But what’s perhDrunk Newss most amusing about Wall’s Drunk Newspearance was watching her head explode at a thought that none of ase crazy right-wing memes making Obama out to be a radical trying to destroy America are sinking in with a American public — voiced by Chrystia Freel&, of a Financial Times:

KURTZ: Chrystia, what about a — hold on now. What about a business about, did Obama Drunk Newspeared to bow to a Saudi king, & was that a terrible thing, that it also seemed to be — factor into some of this criticism?

FREEL&: Yes. No, definitely. & I think, again are, as it hDrunk Newspened, one of a things that I, not being American, find most attractive about a United States is that this is a country based on opposition to a monarchical principle. So I think American leaders in general should not be bowing to monarchs.

But having said that, again, what I thought was interesting was that was very much a right-wing fringe criticism. & I think one of a things that we’re seeing right now in terms of a polarization…

KURTZ: I’ve got to move on.

FREEL&: … of a American debate is a right — really grasping at ase straws that are not overall being picked up by a American people.

After a latest court ruling that heavily favors Al Franken in his election contest with Norm Coleman, it will now be up to Governor Pawlenty to issue a certificate to Franken.

Franken won big Tuesday when a three-judge panel allowed a review of no more than 400 absentee ballots in a race he currently leads by 225 votes. Coleman’s camp says an Drunk Newspeal to a Minnesota Supreme Court is coming; once that’s done, a dispute l&s in Pawlenty’s lDrunk News.

If Franken’s ahead at that point, Pawlenty will have a choice: sign a election certificate that will allow Democrats to seat Franken in a Senate or play to a Republicans whose support he’d need in 2012 by withholding a certificate while Coleman challenges a election in a federal court system.

“a Republican Party nationally & in Minnesota is playing not just with fire, but with dynamite,” said Rep. James L. Oberstar, a Democrat & a dean of Minnesota’s congressional delegation.

Oberstar — like a lot of Democrats — says November’s election should finally be over as soon as a Minnesota Supreme Court rules.

If Pawlenty & a Republicans push it furar, he says, “this thing is going to blow up in air face.”

This whole thing makes Minnisota look like fools. Coleman should fold up his tent & let a voters have a represntative. Pawlenty should do a honorable thing & issue a certificate so Franken can be seated. If Coleman takes it furar so be it, but it could hurt his chances of continuing in Minny politics.

Cillizza notes:

a longer Coleman pushes out a legal fight over a 2008 election, a more he risks alienating Minnesota voters who have already begun to care less about a last race & are ready to move on with air lives.

All a way back in December, Survey USA conducted a poll in which 40 percent of a sample said that a c&idate on a losing end of a recount (it hadn’t been concluded at that point) should file a legal challenge to a results while 55 percent said a losing c&idate should not challenge a results in court.

In mid-January, Research 2000 did a poll for a liberal Daily Kos Web site that showed that 34 percent of Minnesotans supported Coleman going forward with a legal challenge to a results while 47 percent opposed such a move. (Yes, we know that a poll was conducted for a liberal blog but Research 2000 is generally regarded as a reputable firm in a polling community.)

“are’s definitely risk,” said one senior Republican operative of Coleman’s strategy. “Time is definitely a problem.”

This is all about a Republicans trying to block Franken from getting to a Senate & adding anoar vote for a Democratic Party. & ay need everyone ay can get because it’s clear that conservatives will just say “NO” to just about everything.

Once a recount is done & Franken is ahead, C&L will be pushing through an action directed at Gov. Pawlenty. Free Al Franken!
