BAD 2.0: Marine Corps Tea Party Ninny imbroglio
The Marine Corps recommended booting Tea Party ninny Gary Stein today. He’ll get some manner of bad conduct discharge if a general follows the recommendation. It’s a shame.
The government submitted screen grabs of Stein’s postings on one Facebook page he created called Armed Forces Tea Party, which the prosecutor said included the image of Obama on the “Jackass” movie poster. Stein also superimposed Obama’s image on a poster for “The Incredibles” movie that he changed to “The Horribles,” the prosecutor said.
Maybe Stein was a poor Marine. But, rest assured, he’s a much worse writer and speaker if his Facebook page is any measure.
I defy you to get more than a paragraph into this bit on Obamacare.
(You’ll need to have an account on Facebook to see it.)
And there’s the rub.
Without so much brain as earwax, it seems not to have occurred to Gary Stein yet that people without Facebook accounts can’t see his exercises in free speech. So if you want to maximize your audience you kind of have to run a website in tandem with it.
This makes Stein and the Marine Corps’ fuss over his Facebook account
another shining example of BAD in America, something dull and incompetent passed off as a battle to preserve some stalwart man’s right to boldly speak his mind.
Like this, on his Facebook page, a picture of LA County commissioners with their heads on pikes, an objection to their support of some boycott of Arizona business.
While Stein’s Facebook page shows many fans he is not a man
for all markets in California.
A poster for something called the Northern California Sheriff’s Posse Call ireads “Northern California sheriffs are leading the way back to the Constitution …”
Leading one to infer that majority of the state, where most of the
people live, is lacking proper regard for the Constitution.
In line with this, Stein advocates taking a 10-hour on-line prerecorded course on the Constitution, offered by some random certificate mill.
“A free course called Constitution 101 from Hillsdale College…. I’m starting it today… Who is with me???” writes Stein.
It’s slightly reminiscent of the scene in Animal House where Bluto Blutarsky tries to lead his expelled buddies in a charge on Dean Wormer, except without the entertainment value and eventual rally.
After I visited Stein’s page Facebook started serving me ads for patriot hoarders like this one, telling you how to prepare for the coming national collapse, brought on by the presidency of the socialist Muslim in the White House.
“With these 37 food items you’ll attract like-minded patriots and be able to rebuild the nation on the principles of the Constitution and without all that liberal crap,” it tells me.
