Raw Story — In a post last year on the Vanguard News Network forum, Cobb said anyone who lives on his property would be required to fly a “racialist banner” — such as a Nazi flag — 24-hours a day. They would also be required to try to “import more responsible radical hard core [white nationalists]” and become a legal resident of the state so they could vote in local elections. He plans to rename the city “Cobbsville.”
“Imagine strolling over to your neighbors to discuss world politics with nearly all like-minded volk. Imagine the international publicity and usefulness to our cause! For starters, we could declare a Mexican illegal invaders and Israeli Mossad/IDF spies no-go zone. If leftist journalists or antis come and try to make trouble, they just might break one of our local ordinances and would have to be arrested by our town constable. See?” he wrote.
Oh, we see alright. A friendly stroll, a gentle morning goosestep past pale, responsible neighbors right down memory lane in Cobbsville, perhaps modeled on a quaint village called Obersalzberg, some memorabilia from 1938 Berlin … Maybe a snappy group salute thrown in to Corporal Cobb as he stands, brave and defiant between the Long Flags of Liberty. Ahh, the innocence lost.
As bad as it initially sounds, maybe this isn’t a terrible idea. Think of it as fascist segregation now, fascist segregation tomorrow, and fascist segregation forever, thus giving the rest of us a well deserved break. On the political side, well, I don’t know if Ted Cruz would be real popular in this particular demo, although I have no doubt he wouldn’t think twice about throwing out brown-skinned red meat and take a whack at Harvard educated elites without risking his vast collection of personal irony meters.
But for the rest, let us hope Mr. Cobb succeeds wildly. Imagine a sort of national, suicidal gerrymandering that would tip the rest of the GOP right off the right edge of the 6000 year-old flat-earth. I dream of real-life clown-car skits were everyone from Michelle Bachmann to the Lessor Paul all had to journey to remote North Dakota and kiss the Klan ring, instead of sucking up precious media coverage and diatomic oxygen in the Iowa Caucuses. I can think of a few Texas lawmakers who should seriously consider moving there.
A boy can dream.
Kiryas Joel, NY, and Colorado City, AZ, are not far from this now in terms of behavior of the town constables. They’re just a different flavor of fruitcake.
Here was my plan on Facebook:
1. We buy the 19 remaining inhabitants of the town new homes one county over.
2. We offer to pay the moving expenses for Nazis and Kluxers who want to join Cobb.
3. We build a high wall around the town.
4. We fill it with cement.
5. We build the Yiddish Theater Hall of Fame on top.
As a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, I can tell you that the more recent immigrants from Germanic lands to be inferior offshoots of the true White Race who claimed England for their own, by Divine Right, to keep the True White Race pure, and later claimed parts of the Americas as well as even more inferior regions of the Old World as part of their Duty and Right to Empire. And we also spell the word folk correctly. It is with much distaste that we find these so-called White Supremacists claiming to be White and Supreme as if they were our equals. We must keep America pure, and save ourselves from these barbaric pretenders of ethnic German descent. We may agree on white supremacy, but not on who is the right kind of white. In fact, I’m personally inclined to think any further immigration from England should be banned, as I do not think they can be trusted any longer, either.
Yours In Christ,
Some white guy on the internet
They are basically gerrymandering themselves!
@3 F – say what? Are you quoting from somewhere? Some white supremacist with no grasp of coherence but hang-ups about spelling? What a surprise…
I know it’s a joke, but I see this “Leave Texas to the Texans!” type attitude a lot, and there’s a simple flaw in it: Unless all these people get sterilized, kids will grow up there. And that’s not fair to them.
I love it when extremist bigots are happy to build their own ghetto: this will save a lot from the FEMA budget.
So, it’s like living at Fox News.
No need to worry about this sort of thing. The official town motto will be the familiar “Hey, y’all, watch THIS!” A Darwin Award a week, guaranteed.
