Texas attorney general: Democrats ‘far more dangerous’ than nuclear-armed Kim Jong Un

[IDemo]

Source: Raw Story

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) warned Republicans this week that President Barack Obama’s administration and some Democrats in Texas were “far more dangerous” than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has reportedly threatened to blow up Austin with nuclear weapons.

At a Monday meeting of the McLennan County Republican Club in Waco, Abbott said the president would be jeopardizing the Second Amendment rights of Americans if he signed a United Nations arms treaty that is designed to regulate the sell of military weapons like tanks, aircraft, missiles and small arms.

In a letter to the White House earlier this month, the Texas attorney general threatened to sue the federal government if the treaty was ratified.

“We fought a war in 1776 to fight against foreign dictators telling us what to do, not now to turn around and give that power to them,” Abbott said on Monday, according to the Waco Tribune. “That’s why I sent a letter to the president … informing the president that Texas is not going to tolerate this cession of authority to the U.N.”

1. To Republicans, yes.

[JudyM]

4. Don't we wish.

That would be fantastic if it were true.

[Roy Rolling]

2. For Gawd's sake....

How do these morons get a college degree? Was it barber college? Clown college?

Ranked one of the Top 20 Law Schools in the US.

[penndragon69]

3. TexASS ignorance.

[kentauros]

19. No, REPUBLICAN ignorance.

So, please do not, in turn, be ignorant about Texas. Thank you.

[Dustlawyer]

63. Ditto!

[Katashi_itto]

5. This really makes me want to root for Kim Jong Un

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Right now I'm reading a bio on LBJ written by a Texan in 1964.

Trust me, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Grins]

42. Stop reading it.

Any book about LBJ in 1964 is worthless.

Go get the first of Robert Caro's books on LBJ, "The Path To Power" and then you will just begin to start to understand LBJ and Texas. After, you will go out and get the next three books in his Tetralogy (I had to look that up. Trilogy = 3. Tetralogy = 4) and you will devour them too.

His third volume, "Master of the Senate", was required reading on the Hill after it came out.

Crazy people like me devour and yearn for Caro's books like others did the Harry Potter series. We are awaiting his fifth and final volume that will cover the Vietnam years (making his series a pentology).

[no_hypocrisy]

48. Here's the thing:

I started to read it for LBJ and abandoned the original purpose for a new one: the l'air du temps. This is authored by a true Bircher.

[still_one]

7. The asshole should have impeachment charges brought up against him. He represent the justice

system in his state, and he is making false charges.

If anything that should be grounds for impeachment

[meanit]

36. It's irresponsible

bullshit like this POS is spouting that just incites the loonies.

And we sit around and wonder why there are shootings and bombings going on.....

[Lint Head]

8. This pricks cowardly mouth is dangerous. Impeach the SOB!

[Iliyah]

9. Dems and Dem leanings will hear

more of what TX AG said from other GOPers as well. It sounds like a shout out to the insane to do some harm to their fellow Americans. Apparently turning purple to blue is a real deal and TX GOPers are making tactical verbal decisions.

[Botany]

10. Gohmert, Steve Stockman, and now this asshat?

BTW I forgot about W being a Texas dumb ass.

Abbott thinks President Obama is a foreign dictator??????

[DFW]

14. Actually, W is a Connecticut dumbass

He just got foisted on our state at an early age.

[Botany]

18. I should not talk I am from Ohio

But don't forgot that W was an honest to God Texas cattle rancher ....
... (with rented cattle and a faux ranch)

[LongTomH]

30. All hat and no cattle -- as Ann Richards pointed out

[Botany]

46. I think it was through DU but i chatted with somebody about W's Prairie Chapel Ranch ....

..... he had either family or friends who helped to put rented cows on W's
faux farm just before W would come for a visit. Barbs did not like the smell
of cow shit so they didn't spread the manure on the fields and the cows were
just guests.

BTW all the media had to have known it was a big scam but not one member of
the "liberal media" said shit.

[northoftheborder]

11. Just what we need, a bunch of even more paranoid right-wingers thinking Dems are evil.

[Solly Mack]

12. Fart noises.

[secondvariety]

54. I agree.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. The symbolism of speaking on it in Waco is not lost on the crowd he panders to.

Something happened there three days shy of 20 years ago involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that looms very large in the minds of gun huggers.

[MrBig]

15. He's going to run for Governor

I can't believe someone worse than Rick Perry might be running against him.

I really really really really hope Bill White decides to try again.

[calimary]

16. That's not what the Dept. of Homeland Security reported -

back in 2009. Its report cited "right"-wing extremist groups as the source of most danger and most threats against America. And the wrong-wingers yowled so loud that Janet Napolitano retracted the report.

She shouldn't have done ANY such thing. She should have released it again, then and there!

[Javaman]

17. greg abbott...

who takes his marching orders from cement head perry, wants to run for gov next time around. that's a laugh.

I think he will spin in place without cement heads ham-handed ways of pointing him in which ever direction cement head wants him to go.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. The Foreign Policy of the United States

is not in the jurisdiction of the Attorney General of the state of Texas.

If he were a U.S. Senator he would have some say in ratifying treaties,
and in declarations of war.

I guess it's a Texas ego? One man from Texas told me that people
forget that Texas was just about a country at one time. So this
King thinks he can tell the President and the U.N., and by implication
other countries, what to do.

Let's face it, only New York City is allowed to conduct foreign policy
in the name of the United States.

[GoneOffShore]

21. Yo, Abbot. Your crazy is showing. You might want to tuck that in.

Is Abbot a whacko from Waco?

[ZRT2209]

22. he is a kook

[drm604]

23. Anti-UN paranoia. Again.

It would be funny if it wasn't so damaging to our country.

[Downwinder]

24. That's right Greg, we are going to make you unemployed.

(With your assistance)

[Horse with no Name]

25. This is the kind of shit that gets people blown up

This fucking us vs. them...demonization of Democrats.

This fucking asshole needs to understand that HALF of us in Texas are Democrats and YES they have gerrymandered our fucking voting power, but we are here and he just called us terrorists and these teabillies will take it that they can kill us simply because we tend to disagree politically.

I won't say what I wish would happen to this motherfucker...but I am sure thinking it.

[sakabatou]

26. *facepalm*

[kestrel91316]

27. They want us all dead. I half think that yesterday's bombing

was a deliberate attempt to kill as many perceived liberals as possible by someone who has listened too long to this Rwanda-like demonization of anyone to the left of Bob Dornan and his ilk.

They keep ginning up hate against us. And their minions take it to heart and act - again and again and again. And we are like the frog in the pot of water - it's happening gradually, and we are clueless about what they are doing.

[Horse with no Name]

28. We're not clueless

we're just told to shut up about it.

[ZRT2209]

41. +1

[Lobo27]

31. I love my state dearly, but man do we elect fucking idiots.

[Bucky]

32. Will someone please free Texas from its 3rd world dictators?

I'm stranded in Houston, surrounded by nincompoops.

[struggle4progress]

33. Dangerous radioactive Manitobans are flooding into Texas across the Mexican border,

with plans to establish UFO landing sites at water fluoridation facilities across America, in order to turn us into mindless sex slaves for the Loch Ness monster, and Obama is behind it all!

[defacto7]

34. and because of gravity,

the moon could smash into the earth at any time.

'Makes about as much sense.

[SoapBox]

35. wow...just plain wow.

THE biggest danger to America today are PukeBaggers.

[Ken Burch]

37. Is there ANY hope that voters in Texas will finally get sick of these whackjobs?

Christ on a chicken-fried steak!

[Bolo Boffin]

38. The group our honorable AG was talking about is Battleground Texas.

http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/

Go give them a looksee!

[madrchsod]

45. just facebooked their page.....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. Ted Nugent lives in Waco. nt

[ZRT2209]

40. asshole

[LeftInTX]

43. Do us Dems need to put up "No Lynching" signs in front of our houses

or something?

[madrchsod]

44. well ......maybe texas should leave the union

i`m sure there`s plenty of room up here in illinois for texans who wish to leave.

it`s obvious that republicans in texas will never let a democrat be elected to any position of power in the state.
unless the federal government decides to go after states who are restricting the ability register and to vote we will have more states like texas.

[Lobo27]

49. This is true, and its why they trash the Castro brothers everytime they can.

They fear them, because surely they would win over the latino vote.

[tammywammy]

47. Greg Abbott can go fuck himself.

Along with Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Joe Barton, etc.

Those fuckers are what's wrong with this state!

[El Shaman]

50. Me thinks

the brown folks bother lil Gregory quite a lot!!

[El Shaman]

51. A new

way to be raciest in Tejas!!

[blkmusclmachine]

52. NUTS.

[davidpdx]

53. So now they are going back to the

Democrats are terrorists line. He is a buffoon.

[Supersedeas]

55. The People's Attorney...THE ATTORNEY GENERAL...putting partisan politicals ahead of patriotism...

a real man of the people /sarcasm off

[on point]

56. Obviously delusional unfit for office or gun ownership

[rizlaplus]

57. I'd say he's be in favor of regulating Democrats ...

... but would be against Health & Safety for workers and their families.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

58. Oh God, not this fake patriotic Republican jingoism again.

The constitution is a cute political prop for these people.

What a batshit crazy motherfucker!

[sendero]

59. This f*ck is a class A moron.

... who routinely says idiotic things. Funny he should mention North Korea, he reminds me of their leader, a mouse that roared.

Hey Mr. Abbott, a dollop of the humility your supposed savior talks about would do you a world of good.

[Pakid]

60. Just one more reason why I will never visit Texas

I prefer to vacation someplace where they like me! I am funny that way.

[City Lights]

61. Oh brother.

Methinks his is a bit too tight.

[treestar]
