The Wrecking Coup
It’s Friday and it’s raining which means that I’ll try to go home early for a “mental health day” (although HR has repeatedly warned me that I’ve already used up all of mine through 2010) and watch Sarah Palin’s book tour—LIVE! From beautiful Cincinnati!—while drinking Jameson’s with just a splash of coffee. OMG! Of course, if you’re stuck at your computer for the rest of the day, have I got a game for you. It’s called “2011 Obama’s Coup Fails,” brought to you by a website called United States of Earth. Far out!
Here’s the scenario from Mother Jones:
It’s January 2011. The GOP is about to assume control of both houses of Congress—having been voted in by a public deeply suspicious of Democrats after President Barack Obama conducted clandestine talks with President Felipe Calderon of Mexico and Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada. But two days before the new conservative majority is to be sworn in, Obama announces that this Congress will not be seated, that the United States (a creation of “racists and warmongers”) will be replaced by a North American Union, that the US Constitution will be dissolved, and that private ownership of firearms will be outlawed (as part of a United Nations treaty banning firearms globally). In response, millions rise up, and the Revolution begins.
Whoa. I’ve had nightmares about this. In fact, I think I saw it in my Flash Forward. So the game centers around 20 million armed American “patriots” who start seizing government offices and attempting to expose Obama and his ilk for what they truly are—reptiles who need us for food. Apparently the game was created by a bunch of Ron Paul disciples, taking a much-needed break from solving the 9/11 government conspiracy.
Lou Dobbs has disappeared, and Glenn Beck has been found dead of an “aspirin overdose.” Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and Bill O’Reilly have been rounded up, and Fox News forcibly shut down. The US military refuses to come to Obama’s rescue. His loyalist forces of 40,000 end up controlling merely three counties in Virginia, while an allied force is in charge of three counties near Washington, DC. The Federal Reserve also controls two of its own counties, as does the Cong (the remnants of the Democratic Congress). A collection of pro-Obama black nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists have a hold on two counties.
What can you do as a player? You can join the patriots trying to capture Obama and defeat the Cong.
I’m so ready to fight The Cong and The Blacks and The Muslims. Who’s with me?

Of course the Democratic congress is “The Cong.” They forgot to mention that Obama’s real middle name is “Charlie.”
What the hell is wrong with all these people?!? Seriously, have they been smoking crystal meth or eating lead paint chips?

From the MJ link: “According to Russotto, the site’s designers despise Democrats and Republicans, and they will show their political balance next week, when the site introduces an “Ambush Bush” scenario, which will give players the chance to hunt down the ex-president in Texas.”
Its a Libertarian plot. Get the R’s and D’s fighting each other so they can rise up and restore the gold standard.

Think Progress headline this week: Coleman urges Republicans to be more tech-savvy by competing on the ‘ethernet.’
King: And you say that these gooper people will be able to play this thing you call a game? I say no. But, I hear it said that in the far reaches of the ‘ethernet’ galaxy there is a loosely allied group called liberals.
Knight: They are gamers, my lord. They are coming to avenge the score. Their ship wears a banner of pinball wizardry, and their motto is “Yes We Can”.

I have never made it thru 9 holes of golf on the computer, much less having a water cooled hemi computer for ‘gaming’.
Again, however, I do have Nintendo, and Duck Hunt, with the DH gun…..I’ll be right back, time to change 8 track tapes….
