> [@Gyrate](#): > > Apart from his right-wing rantings, has Ted ever done anything noteworthy other than his one hit song? He did claim to crap his pants in order to get out of the Vietnam draft. He backtracked on that embarassing claim later, but he did get himself a 1-Y deferment, which is the “only use this guy during a national emergency” deferment. ---

Ted supports the troops! Not by, you know, actually enlisting and serving, but through song. He was responsible for [this](http://www.cracked.com/article_18521_the-19-most-hilariously-failed-attempts-at-sexy-album-covers_p2.html) (#8 - Cracked article - sorta maybe NSFW). And let’s not forget his earlier quote: “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun.” “Hey Hillary. You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” I was impressed how Republicans came out in droves to [denounce](http://youtu.be/aaPXiHQA8N0) him and distance themselves from such a violent, misogynistic, lunatic (damn, no sarcasm smiley). ---

You might want to point out that one simply can’t _move_ to Canada any easier than one can simply _move_ to the United States. By the time they are accepted you’ll be in another election. ETA: I’m pretty sure you’d find the same in other countries mentioned. ---

Doesn’t Texas have to abide by federal law? So what the hell difference does it make if these loonies do move there? I guess it would help keep the state red from the increasing number of Hispanics… It would be nice to have all the crazy racists in one area though ---

Near Vidor… Yesterday’s email says let 'em secede: Dear Red States: We’re ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we’ve decided we’re leaving. We in the Blue States intend to form our own country . In case you aren’t aware that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A). To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss. We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country’s fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation’s fresh fruit, 95% of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulphur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Boston College, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you righties believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. We’re taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico. Sincerely, Citizen of the Enlightened States of America ---
