The Wisconsin branch of the National Rifle Association sure did make a mess of things this past weekend. Not only was their lobbyist caught on tape bragging about how he controls the legislature, but the NRA was handing out copies of The Reality News, an extremist right-wing publication. But not only is it an extremist right-wing publication, it’s an extremist right-wing publication calling for armed revolt to topple the government. Within the publication was a piece by Karl Koenigs titled, “What Would Davy Crockett Say?” In the article, he makes a call for armed revolt, to topple the democratically elected government of the United States, following with the imposition of a dictatorship, where he, and those who believe as he does, are the dictators.
A direct quote from the article:
Further in, to resolve the issues he sees with the system, his proposal offers this:

Basic research turns up that Mr. Koenigs is a member of the Constitutional Sheriffs, and part of the Oath Keepers, a group labelled as domestic terrorists. Further research pulled up more of Mr. Koenigs’ thoughts, including a nicely framed write-up on how to solve the problems in the United States. Read it for yourself (sic on all below):

Further in, to resolve the issues he sees with the system, his proposal offers this:
This is a most heinous disease that can only be cured by the constitutional De-Centralized power of our home country of Wisconsin restoring our “supreme Laws” on our Federal public servants within our borders; OR otherwise by a combo Civil/Re-Revolutionary War with the very same goal to restore the rule of OUR Laws on our elected non-elected and wannabe elected Republican and Democrat Federal servants through the refreshment of the Tree of Liberty by its natural manure.

What YOU and a bunch of Patriots like you need to do is form a coalition to:
1/ Form a base “Committee on State Sovereignty” (which is, at this point anyway and likely hopefully never, for secession).
2/ Create a framework of communication “nodes” and a communications HQ which will be the Chairperson of the Committee.
3/ There shall be a “node” in each State Senate and Assembly voting district in the State.
4/ Each “node” leader shall procure 20 – 25+ callers who stand at ready to make calls to their State Senator and Assemblyman upon a signal from HQ to make very well timed and coordinated requests to sponsor and pass initiatives starting with the State Sovereignty Resolution.
5/ Produce a very constitutionally crafted State Sovereignty Resolution with Arrest Provision. The Arrest Provision makes it “binding”, in every sense of the term and more than just “feel good” words that are more shallow than a politicians promise.

Marco Rubio, universally hailed as the GOP's savior (except by people who use their brain), previews the Bold New Message Of Anti-Obama Change that he plans to deliver during his State of the Union Response tonight.
- Okay, so Marco Rubio will propose tax reform (just like Mitt Romney), more digging and drilling for oil and gas (just like Mitt Romney), and some sort of tax benefit for job training (just like Mitt Romney). He'll also accuse President Obama of wanting nothing but big government and of opposing our enterprise system (just like Mitt Romney). And, finally, he'll claim that by raising taxes on wealthy people, President Obama is trying to hurt middle-class families (just like Mitt Romney).
In other words, Mitt Romney is basically giving the Republican response to the State of the Union tonight, except this time, it'll be translated into Spanish.

Tagg Romney, son of former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, is considering a Senate run in Massachusetts’s upcoming special election, according to the Boston Herald. The Herald reported Monday that Romney was considering a bid to replace John Kerry in the seat that opened up after Kerry became Secretary of State. The Herald would not identify the source of its information.
Last week, former GOP Sen. Scott Brown announced he would not make a bid to replace Kerry . Brown, who had been elected to the Senate in 2010 to fill the seat held by the late Ted Kennedy, had lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren in November. Tagg Romney, 42, is Mitt Romney’s oldest son. He was a prominent surrogate during his father’s failed presidential run and started a venture capital firm, Solamere Capital, in Boston, where Mitt Romney reportedly keeps a personal office.
Mitt Romney is also the former governor of the state. The Herald reported Saturday that there were calls for Mitt Romney’s wife Ann to run.

Weasel Alert: TAGG ROMNEY Eyeing Senate
Tagg Romney, son of former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, is considering a Senate run in Massachusetts’s upcoming special election, according to the Boston Herald. The Herald reported Monday that Romney was considering a bid to replace John Kerry in the seat that opened up after Kerry became Secretary of State. The Herald would not identify the source of its information.
Tagg Romney is considering a run in the special Senate election now that Scott Brown has opted out, the Truth Squad has learned.
Calls for Romney, 42, to join in the short campaign to replace Secretary of State John F. Kerry have increased since the Herald first reported heavyweight Republicans are urging both Romney and his mother, Ann, to get in.
The eldest son of former governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney already has statewide name recognition and could quickly ramp up the campaign infrastructure for a short, five-month race.
