Mississippi Madness

Mississippi Libertarian congressional candidate Ron Williams has a message for the Yankee mayors opposed to Chcik-fil-A's anti-gay agenda: They "need to be introduced to the Second Amendment ASAP."

In a letter to the Sun Herald Williams wrote: "Let me make it clear, the CEO is being punished by government officials because he exercised his First Amendment right of free speech. The Constitution is very clear. When government restricts and punishes the people for exercising their First Amendment rights, then we are to default to the Second Amendment (right to keep and bear arms). These two mayors need to be introduced to the Second Amendment ASAP....The correct response to these mayors would be to send troops or whatever to remove these men from office, by whatever means is necessary."

Williams clarified his statement:

"I'm not saying anybody should go shoot these mayors," Williams said. "But politicians need to be reminded, our founding fathers were quite clear that it's quite possible for our country to fall back into the hands of tyranny ... I'm a thou-shalt-not-kill kind of guy, but these guys should be reminded of the Second Amendment ... I guess the word reminded would have been better (in the letter) ... I needed a thesaurus beside me."

Once again, we have a grandstanding politician in Dixie, whose obsession with defending fundamentalism WITH GUNS overrides the urgency of fixing his state's massive problems. For those who don't know, Mississippi is the most religious state in the nation, but the least Christian in terms of sharing the priorities that Jesus would actually care about.

It's healthcare system is such a shambles that it has turned to Iran for help. Nevertheless, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant might not take federal money for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), because presumably he prefers Ahmadinejadcare.

Deep fry and feast on Mississippi's misfortunes[i]:

Sixty-nine percent of adult Mississippians are obese or overweight (Keep eating Chick-fil-A!!)

A Mississippi black man's life expectancy is lower than the average American's life expectancy was in 1960
