Now that healthcare reform has passed the House, the right-wingnuts (many of whom, judging from the Tea Party protests and town hall meetings, are, ironically, on Medicare) are plotting a revolution, hanging their hats on the Second Amendment, screaming for a government overthrow. Man, Bush really escaped in the nick of time, huh? I mean, these protesters . . . surely – given how concerned they are NOW about our federal deficit -- were going to belatedly protest in the streets because he got us into a war we didn’t need to be in to the tune of trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lost lives?

Well, here’s the thing. I’ve seen quite a few comments (like this one),

from people who want to escape to a hunting cabin in the woods, peering out between the cracks until the government comes for them – and then rise up in revolt – and I’ve been thinking, maybe there’s some philanthropic individual out there who might supply these wingnuts their hunting cabin, a one-way ticket to get there, a few rifles and bullets, and maybe even some supplies in case living off the fat of the land doesn’t work out too well. Any takers?

And hey, this hunting cabin – it doesn’t have to be in the U.S. of A. Some people are even willing to leave the country to escape this socialist, Marxist, Nazi, black-man-as-President-oh-horrors, Administration.

So this is a shout out to anyone who has a few bucks sitting around, who, like me, thinks it would be worth it to ship all these people off to the hunting cabin in the woods, any woods, anywhere, just as long as it’s far, far away.

I suspect that, like the Dixie Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl,” these people would be missing persons who nobody missed at all.
