Freepers, On The Edge

By Sniffles

It's Day Two of Obama-Biden Inaugural fun, so we cats thought we'd check in on those lovable right wingers who post comments over at Free Republic.

It had been a little while since we'd last beamed in. But we figured that the sight of Pete Seeger singing at the "We Are One" concert this afternoon had surely driven them mad. (Pete's a Communist, ya know.)

So we must report that yes, the Freepers are clearly about to lose it. Maybe it wasn't just the location of the concert itself — the Lincoln Memorial — but all the references to the 16th President and the Civil War that have really gotten to them. We're not sure. But something about today has led them to call for seceding from the United States. (Todd Palin, is that you? You wild and crazy guy!)

Then one of them proposed something even more drastic. "It is my opinion that only a military coup will save this republic," he said.

Hm. Well, at least he spelled and punctuated everything correctly. Meanwhile, we cats trust that we're not the only ones keeping an eye on these nutbags.
