Pictured on the left is deranged right-winger republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden from Texas. He's running in Texas' 30th congressional district (Dallas) against longtime democrat party incumbent Eddie Bernice Johnson ("Bernice," BTW?). During what's being described as a "rambling" TV interview yesterday, Broden suggested that revolution and a violent overthrow of the American government is an option that's "on the table." (Link to full story at bottom).Yesterday's comments followed previous remarks by Broden in which he conjured up and cited to images of the American Revolutionary War and Britain's tyrannical King George III, spouting: "We have a constitutional remedy. And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."
Personally, I think the only revolt we need around here is one against the school teachers who taught Broden to butcher the Queen's English like that. If they can fire Juan Williams for no good reason, let's give the ol' heave-ho to some Dallas grammar teachers as well.
But kidding aside, Broden's dangerous comments obviously serve no constructive purpose whatsoever in American political discourse and should be (and are being) roundly condemned. My best suggestion to Broden: Since you seem so enamored with the notion of repeating the Revolutionary War -- How about you pull a George Washington, sail yourself across the Rio Grande into Mexico in the middle of the night, and then stay there. Do us all a favor.
