But I Dunno Man, They Have Chuck Norris

So, yeah. The forces of Glenn Beck's War Bunker Attack Zone or whatever have a new avatar of asskickery: Chuck F'ckin Norris (h/t BooMan Tribune).
The call by some right wing leaders for rebellion and for the military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by Chuck Norris who claims that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are ready for a second American Revolution. During an appearance on the Glen Beck radio show he promised that if things get any worse from his point of view he may “run for president of Texas.” The martial artist/actor/activist claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place and that if rebellion is to come through secession Texas would lead the way.
Today in his syndicated column on WorldNetDaily Norris reiterates the point: “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
He continues; calling on a second American Revolution; “…we've bastardized the First Amendment, reinterpreted America's religious history and secularized our society until we ooze skepticism and circumvent religion on every level of public and private life.
How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution? We the people have the authority according to America's Declaration of Independence, which states: That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Norris claims that; “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.” The right wing cells will meet during a live telecast, "We Surround Them," on Friday March 13 at 5 p.m.
This is pretty dangerous stuff here, talking about secession from the US because, you know, they don't like the guy in charge. Last time this happened, well, a whole hell of a lot of Americans died.

Now, Chuck Norris is a trained martial artist and could whip my fat ass like a lemon meringue, but the guy is certifiable if he thinks he's going to be Sam Houston. Abolishing the Obama administration? Thousands of cell groups? C'mon. Can you imagine the outcry from the right if George Clooney or Brad Pitt or Michael Moore said a state should secede from the union and that there were thousands of cell groups out there? We'd have calls for McCarthy-style hearings into Hollywood in a heartbeat.

And yet Glenn Beck's "We Surround Them" movement is calling for Americans to do just that, to resist the notion of prior consent and that the family is the ultimate authority, not the government. Beck is rolling this movement out on FOX as a call for open resistance to the Obama government.

Once again, can you imagine how quickly the right would have Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow's jobs (and heads) if they called for this type of thing? How they would openly be called traitors? How they would call for their incarceration or even execution for mentioning something like this against the Bush administration?

But I suppose national TV/radio hosts and Hollywood TV personalities openly calling for secession from the union are 100% acceptable now that Hussein X, Scourge of Whitey is in power.

Go figure.
