Jade Helm: The Insanity That Ate Texas

This sums up the idiocy perfectly.
http://www.stonekettle.com/2015/05/jade-helm-insanity-that-ate-texas.html?m=1

This is it. This is the big one. Obama is about to make his move. Martial law, you betcha, FEMA death camps and secret tunnels under Wal-Mart. Oh they warned us, they did, the powdered wig wearing Patriots of the Tea Party, they warned us. Grab the wimen’ folk, load yer guns, hoist the Confederate Battle Flag! To the bunkers! To the bunkers!

"Just because you're paranoid," said Ted Cruz, "doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Right.

And just because you have the word "Senator" in front of your name doesn't mean you're sane, rational, qualified to run the country, or have an IQ higher than that of a sea cucumber.

Also,I read it in Molly Ivin's voice which made it twice as funny.

Love this (no offense to sane Texans)

The Governor of Texas has mobilized his own personal army and Ted Cruz is demanding answers from the Pentagon.

Because, you know, if there really was a secret plot, the generals would tell him. What? Senator Cruz has asked about our super secret nefarious plot to invade our own country and force Texans into hidden underground FEMA centers where they’ll be disarmed and gay married to Muslims? Drat! He’s on to us! Then they twirl their Snidely Whiplash moustaches, Curses! Foiled again by that brave Canadian cartoon hero, Dudley Cruz.

Let’s say this really was a thing.

Sure, just for the sake of argument, let’s say Obama really is planning on herding Texans into FEMA death camps disguised as Wal-Marts.

Why would he need the army?

Think about it. Why would you need some secret plot to get Texans into a Wal-Mart?

Announce a Veterans Day sale with 50% off all ammunition, Duck Dynasty camouflage, and frozen chicken nuggets, unlock the doors, and step the hell out of the way before you get trampled.

Honestly, where does the Army come in?

After the shootings yesterday I overheard two rednecks fantasizing about "them Muslims" trying to make a raid on their homes and what would happen.

I don't think Cruz is all that stupid. He just has a constituency that is collectively dummer than a bag of hammers and he knows how to appeal to that constituency.

Shared it on FB. LoL, I doubt anyone will bother to read...seems the only way to get thumbed up is to post about your mischievous, seventh little bundle of joy and his diaper rash...... barf.

But whatever. I try to put some intelligence out there incase anyone's interested.

I followed a few links over the weekend and couldn't believe was I was reading.

If you google some combination of "Walmart, Plumbing, Stores closed for 6 months" it will blow your mind.

I suspected they were alien replacement facilities. People go in . . . then come out somehow changed.

Though they have no true brain, no Sea Cucumber has ever made a snowball on the floor of the Senate and claimed it proved global warming was a hoax. And no Sea Cucumber has ever supported the ludicrous idea of trickle-down economics. And No Sea Cucumber ever wrote a letter to Iran trying to undermine a sitting President's foreign policy.
