"Thirteenthers"

[Boreas]

See, ya got yer Teabaggers and ya got yer Birthers and ya got yer Tenthers but now.... now ya got yer Thirteenthers too! What's a Thirteenther you ask? Well, a Thirteenther is someone who wants to "reintroduce" the original - failed - Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. It stated that "if any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor (from a) foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen” and “shall be incapable of holding any office of trust.”

Why would anyone be in favor of such am amendment? Simple. So it can be used against one man: President Barack Obama. See, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, right? So if we reinstate and ratify that amendment we can strip Obama of his citizenship - you know, that he doesn't actually have? - and then remove him from office.

Crazy? Well, yeah, but not too crazy for the Iowa Republican Party which has included a Thirteenther plank in their brand new shiny Party platform!

I gotta tell you, you Republicans have really gone 'round the bend! We tried to help you but you wouldn't listen and now it's too late. You're complete goners! Pegged out! Tits up! Pushin' up the daisies!
