March 21st, 2010 was a historic evening. With the passage of the Healthcare Reform bills America has now entered the First World in terms of providing the most basic of human care to all its citizens (yes just the legal citizens you dopes) and hopefully this historic occasion could also mark the point at which the mass media and those ever so entertaining (read: complaining) Tea Party Patriots, Birthers, Deathers, Uppers, and Downers will finally have something else to laser focus their hate, disdain, and guns towards.
Because of the significance of the evening I decided to skip a really awesome concert and the chance to go out for dinner so I could watch the live Senate debate on CSPAN. I also decided it would be appropriate to spend some time with the one community I’ve embedded with for so long, struggling through this whole debate with. Along with their crazy forums, Resistnet.com also has an equally crazy live chat room where Tea Partiers and like minded individuals can gather to talk and pray and reassure each other that the Communist menace will be beaten back in the good name of the lawd. Below are the best moments from last night’s chat in an edited format (for transparency’s sake I will also provide the unedited logs, but honestly you don’t even need to assume I altered the crazy in these peoples’ words, you really can’t make this stuff up).
Oh also, when I say “best” moments I mean the moments when the Resistnet folks were at their personal “best”, which is to say the words I read last night indicate that the Resistnet community, no matter how their spokespeople paint them, are a bunch of racist, violent, gun-toting, zealously Christian, proud rednecks who would like nothing more than to see our government figured murdered, assassinated, hung, drawn and quartered, simply because they lost their shouting match that’s taken place over the past year and 2 months. I had wished last night would be the culmination and the end of such things, but to be honest I believe that, in the words of the Resisters, “things are only getting started”:
Yay! Sniper assassination party!
Dr. James Lawrenzi speaks for himself
See it’s ok to talk about picking up your gun and killing people because it’s relaxing to some of the Resistnet community
Yup you sure do Dee, but we did see that, we saw all of the crazy that you’re community “supposedly” does not represent.
I thought there wasn’t such a thing as working whites anymore since the latinos move in to town.
How dare those Black and Hispanics go to their own colleges! I’m not racist though, really.
Locked and loaded, with pitchforks (and guns).
If you covered the streets of DC in your blood I’m sure there would be those who would celebrate not having to pay for you in the new Healthcare system.
At this point Rep. John Boehner was giving his passionate remarks about the HC bill, calling to have the senators vote individually so these crazies can identify them and know whose picture to put up on their target ranges.
First they came for my neighbors (who I didn’t like anyway), and I said nothing…
Man even if she was on fire? Nancy Pelosi just can’t catch a break with these people.
Yeah witches are people too (unlike Nancy Pelosi who is some kind of half dog-person, half breakfast pastry)!
So Mellie (who is a big time admin on Resistnet) is welcoming this bill because she won’t be denied coverage for being a woman? Right on sista!
And if you’re happy with your current plans you can keep it!
Yeah, what’s the point of insurance anyw– oh.
It’s all come down to this, the vote has begun.
Too bad old folks will now be transformed into some kind of super immortal race (who will apparently shoot you) with this new Healthcare reform.
The anxiety of the vote got to some people, those would would fantasize about kissing Democrats on the lips (with tongue and everything!)
Oh haha, suddenly that thing I was joking about has become reality for Tana W. Bernard.
The vote is almost at 216 now, most of the Resistnet.com members now admit they’re ready to go to jail for crimes they’re going to commit.
Suddenly the realization that most of these people have wasted the last year of their lives sending faxes to Congress, shouting at politicians, and carrying their guns to protests. Note to self: blame it on Bush.
And finally the watershed moment. The votes have been cast, the bill has passed, now we’re past the point of no return. Time to start “changing” things.
Time to pray to God the politicians die, also time to declare internet silence, mostly due to the criminal nature of what we want to discuss.
Ok guys and gals, time to get this REVOLUTION STARTED Glenn Beck style!
Yes, F**K talking indeed.
No, we can’t say what we’re really thinking Resistnet administrator Dee because we’re really thinking someone should shoot the president.
What are we all thinking again?
Need new options? Tactics? Winning the War? What ever are they referring to?
Mmmmm KFC.
Tana W. Bernard the lawmakers are going to die soon? Why? It can’t be due to inadequate health coverage can it?
If you turn your protest flag upside down does that mean you’re no longer protesting what the flag represents?
PLANT! EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH ME IS A PLANT! OBAMA AGENT PLANT!
It’s a slippery slope towards smae sex marriages everyone!
How evil of you!
Linn is too good for a socialist Federal prison.
I think you guys have had this end of times mentality for a while.
Yeah, down with Whitey!
The plants are getting to Moondog6
And on and on and on it goes. At this point in the evening I decided to go outside to smoke a cigarette and eat the rest of the bacon in my house in honor of the historic passage of Healthcare reform. This chat log was long, but long for a reason (there is just so much crazy out there, we need to be aware of it). I’m also sure this is not the end of this kind of rhetoric, nor the end of the Tea Party, Birther, Resistneters or their schemes.
However, no matter how batty, racist, anti-semetic, or violent these people get you can be sure that here at TarsTarkas.net we will be bringing you the raw information you need to know what these people are up to. You can be sure that this is only the beginning of something. It’s sure as hell the beginning of me being able to get affordable and fair healthcare coverage and not get reamed up the ass by insurance companies, but for some others it may as well be the beginning of the end. We can’t say how far any of these people will go to express their outrage against the government but we can only hope that the passing of Healthcare reform will mean a better and healthier life for so many Americans who work hard and deserve to be helped in their darkest hours. Cheers!
EDIT: This is Tars Tarkas with a quick edit, a person claiming to be the real Dr. James Lawrenzi has written us saying the guy on the Resistnet chat is a fake who is stealing his identity. I have no way to verify this fact, but it adds more drama to the mix and I figure it is at least fair to mention it. The other James Lawrenzi claims to be pro-HCR and is very upset.
SECOND EDIT: upon further review, there is no evidence that Dr. James Lawrenzi’s identity was stolen at this time. We are disappointed that there isn’t a vast conspiracy of fake identity trolls on Resistnet.com to expose.
