The Wisconsin Republican Party Fan Club



By Jeff Simpson


We all remember that recently, the Wisconsin republican party held their annual convention and one of the big topics was a vote on secession.  

Delegates at the state Republican convention are set to vote Saturday on a proposed resolution that directs lawmakers to push through legislation nullifying Obamacare, Common Core educational standards and "drone usage in the state of Wisconsin."
"Be it further resolved," the proposal concludes, "that we strongly insist our state representatives work to uphold Wisconsin's 10th Amendment rights, and our right to, under extreme circumstances, secede, passing legislation affirming this to the U.S. Federal Government."

Robin Vos, Scott Fitzgerald and Scott Walker are starting to gain a following!

In Georgia, a former Government worker decided to show his unhappiness with the Federal Government in a different way:

 Dennis Marx, a former TSA employee and member of the 100,000-plus “sovereign citizen” movement, planned to lay siege to a Forsyth County, Ga., courthouse and take hostages before he was killed by a sheriff’s deputy on Friday.


Throwing smoke bombs and tire spikes, Marx attacked the Forsyth County Courthouse on Friday morning, striking a sheriff’s deputy in the leg with a bullet. The deputy, 25-year veteran James Rush, returned fire, and Mr. Marx was killed after a brief gun battle on the street, which was joined by a local SWAT team.

According to Forsyth County Sheriff Duane Piper, Marx had in his possession buckets of homemade explosives, ammunition, smoke grenades, as well as food and water – clues that “he came here with the purpose of occupying the courthouse.” Sheriff Piper added that Marx’s “intention was to get in that front door and take hostages.”

He  is just a crazy with a gun right?  What does that have to do with WI? Overlooking of course the secession thing

Sovereign citizens believe that most of the US government is illegitimate and cannot act with force of law, and Marx had made specific complaints about what he thought were illegal searches of his home that led to several drug and gun charges. He was scheduled to plead guilty to those charges on Friday, but instead he assaulted the courthouse.

Hmmmm, that seems vaguely familiar to me!   

But Wait, there's more!!   In Las Vegas two people proudly displayed their Gadsden flag, while shouting about the revolution.  Unfortunately they did so after they ambushed and shot two police officers in the back


The two were heard shouting "this is a revolution", as they entered a pizza parlour and opened fire on officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who were having lunch.
The shooters took badges and weapons off the policemen and covered their bodies with a cloth sporting the Gadsden flag, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Named after its designer, the US revolutionary general Christopher Gadsden, the yellow flag depicts a coiled rattlesnake above the words "Dont tread on me". It has become a symbol of US patriotism recently adopted by the ultra-conservative Tea Party.
 As we learn more and more about the details of these incidents, do not let anyone say we had no warnings




Looks like Harry Reid was right all along!

  1. This is exactly the environment the Republicans created right before Tim McVeigh blew up the federal building in Oklahoma. No, that is not true, this environment is even more hostile and toxic.

    As a government worker at the time McVeigh acted, I listened to citizens tell me what a good idea they thought he had, on a regular basis. The right had riled up the crazies to such a toxic frenzy because Bill Clinton was the worst president ever elected and he was taking this country to hell in a hand basket. The only difference now is the rhetoric is more toxic and dangerous than ever.

    1. You are correct!. I recently listened to a former army colonel tell me how he is betting on the collapse of the dollar because the government prints $89 billion/month and the dollar is worth only 13% of what it was 100 years ago. The conversation went crazier from there. Intelligent and well educated, and absolutely bonkers.

    2. I'm turning in names of "nutters" to the FBI and the SPLC with documentation of what they say, any obsession with guns, anti-government rhetoric, etc. Can't be too careful.

  2. If you don't like it here, move to Somalia. That's what your republican party is turning this state in to. Good riddance.

    3. No I am saying you are a wing nut fringe fruit loop seditionist hater and bigot. You and Senator Glen Grothmann are traitors to the Constitution. Any clarification needed?

    1. Grothmann has it flying proudly in his office, easily visible from hallways in the Capitol.

  5. Let's name names.

    Charles Brey - Republican Thug, Glenn Grothman supporter, ‎IS Security Engineer at Fond du Lac County, "The Regulators Anti-Socialism Vigilance Committee" militia, and Disciple of the Castle Doctrine where you shoot first and ask questions later.

    This Politiscoop article, Recall Sabotage Plot - Ties to GOP and Militia, has plenty on Charles Brey.

  6. Add to the list James Maillette, Jr., son of Tea Party Kim Simac. This character, appointed EVP of Wis Family Action by hater Julaine Appling, is a 2nd Amendment gun-nutter, religious right-winger, Tea Party creep, who has espoused anti-government rhetoric. He's a scary, scary, SCARY dude who has threatened to take care of (and not in any good sense) any immigrants he finds in the Northwoods. Checkout the Northwoods Patriots blogspot and you'll see why that organization is listed on the SPLC website!

  7. Let's remember that Icki McKenna has tweeted out fantasies of shooting liberals on her doorstep, and is given 3 hours a day to spread similar incitements on AM 1310 and AM 1130.

    Hey AM radio, YOU OWN THIS. So you gonna do something about it internally, or are we gonna have to do it for you?
