Former Reagan aide wants South to secede, create anti-gay nation of "Reagan" (NOT SATIRE)

What does conservative columnist and former Reagan aide Douglas MacKinnon see when he surveys the current state of affairs? A world, he says, that’s been “turned upside down if you do believe in traditional values.” Just look, for instance, at those uppity gays and their demand for equal treatment.

“If you happen to refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple because it goes against your religious beliefs, you can be driven out of business,” MacKinnon told right-wing radio host Janet Mefferd yesterday. “If you’re a football commentator and you happen to just say innocently that maybe I wouldn’t have drafted a gay football player because I wouldn’t want to deal with the distraction, many people on the left will try to drive you out of your job as well.”

So what’s a God-fearing, gun-toting, gay-loathing supporter of traditional values to do? It’s time, MacKinnon argues, to start thinking about drastic measures. The author was on Mefferd’s program to promote his new book, “The Secessionist States of America: The Blueprint for Creating a Traditional Values County … Now.” You can guess what he proposes.

“If it moves beyond the academic, then it’s one of those things, too, where obviously now – in the age of instant communication – the world would also know about this country,” MacKinnon said. “The interim name for the country, by the way, is Reagan.”

OK, but didn’t we fight a Civil War over this kind of thing? Relax, MacKinnon assured Mefferd. “The eyes of the world would be watching” how the U.S. government responded to the Republic of Reagan’s formation, so Dictator Nobama won’t be launching a Second War of Northern Aggression.

“[T]here have been a number of incursions into Texas and other places from some of the folks in Mexico,” he said.

Better Than Jesus

As a frothing, desperate, impotent, fat, self-righteous 40 year old infant with a world-view so simplistic it might as well have been drawn in crayon, I am constantly on the lookout for shrieking noise that confirms the divisive lunacy on which I base my sense of self.

I felt the first stirrings of an ideological erection when I read about how climate change is a communist conspiracy, and even gained some small sense of priapic emotion from wallowing in contrived paranoid fantasies about black presidents and birth certificates, but have never been able to truly achieve the climax of faux-conservative gibbering that I, and my wife-sister craved.

No more. This man suggests that the South secedes from the Union, although not Texas as it has become corrupted with Mexicans.

He further suggests that this nation be called "Reagan."

It is a country of 'traditional' values, if by traditional you mean thuggish hatred of, and terror of, gay people. As descriptions of the gay menace fill 80% of the 0.02% of the Bible I have read, I immediately came.

Came to the realization that people like me have a new fantasy we can use to loudly humiliate the traditions we claim to love by being horrific, ugly, worthless people.

Never have I been so happy. I have ordered 100000 copies of this book, and will use them to construct a temple to Christ, Ayn Rand and a bunch of other people who's work I have never read and have no interest in. I will then sit inside it and daub the walls with Glenn-Beck-inspired slogans in my own faeces, which is the one thing those liberals will never see coming.

Apart from me. They'll never see me coming either.

But I will. I will.
