Whether or not you've seen video of Catherine Crabill, a Republican nominee for Virginia House of Delegates, saying conservatives will be forced to "the bullet box" if they can't win at "the ballot box," hold onto your seat -- because there's more:
(You can see the full video of Catherine Crabill's speech at Daily Kos TV.)
Crabill (who believes the U.S. government orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombing) claimed the Obama administration is pursuing legislation that will turn it into "the thought police" and wants to put Americans in "the chains of slavery."
Crabill's plan to stop Obama? Follow Texas Governor Rick Perry's lead and declare Virginia's sovereignty from the United States of America:
What would I do as a state delegate? ... I would like to follow in the footsteps of the great state of Texas and Governor Rick Perry ... They were reasserting their tenth amendment right to sovereignty.
And what if Rick Perry's sovereignty gambit doesn't work?
We have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box.
I am glad for all of us who enjoy the use of firearms for hunting, but make no mistake, that was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our second amendment right was to guard against tyranny.
Amazingly, Crabill managed to to take things a step further, saying that the time had arrived for people to decide "here and now" what to live for and what to die for.
What we need to decide here and now is not only what is worth living for, but what is worth dying for. And it is time to make that determination because we may very well be called to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. In fact, I think, I think that's what the clarion call is for this day.
Apparently, Crabill's first choice is to get her way through democratic means, but failing that, she is prepared to fight a civil war.
Now the question is whether or not the Virginia Republican Party will withdraw their support for this nutjob.
Even though it might help Democrats if they do stand by her threat of an armed rebellion, we'll still all be better off if the Virginia GOP does the right thing and pulls their endorsement, because the last thing America needs right now is more right-wing nutcases infecting the public discourse.
