Rum, Romanism and Rebellion

I think I have said this before, but there are sometimes when I’ll watch a game, DC United v New York Red Bulls or Italy v Argentina, where I watch but I really don’t root for either team. I end up hoping for a 0-0 tie with lots of red cards, maybe even a career ending injury or two. Does this make me a bad person?

In that spirit, I present you some e-mails that have been acquired by the vast R Cubed research army. Well, really, a fan sent them to me. The e-mails are between two leaders of the Border Guardians, a group that neither guards nor even hangs out at the border. Apparently, there is a bit of a split between frequent meeting crasher Laine Lawless and flag burner Roy Warden. The dispute appears to have started over Lawless asking Warden to appear in a video, and then, it seems, Lawless didn’t show up to appear at one of Warden’s trials. I don’t know what “lies” Lawless is refering to. I edited the obscenities…this is a family blog.

I need your written permission to use your image in the video, How to Burn a Mexican Flag.

As I have said before, if you are willing to play ball with me, I can be more accessible when you need me for your court case.

If I have to cut you out of the video, I will, but it will look strange.

I’ve given you free plugs on borderguardians.org, mentioned you numerous times in my interviews for How to Burn a Mexican Flag, and you repay my kindness with these lies?!

You are a f****** p****, a misogynist, a homophobe, an animal abuser who throws his poor female cat in heat against a wall to silence her, and an evil man. You deserve the support or help of NO ONE.

Any testimony I might give in an open court would not be to your advantage. What do you want me to do, show my video of you assaulting a minor child, and then say, yep, he did it? You fool! You think just because ppl are around you, it gives you the right to push them around like they are pieces on a chess board? Go join the pushy Mexicans in the Open Borders Lobby–your tactics are more morally-compromised than theirs, and at least they can put on a peaceful face, which you don’t bother with. I’m not in your game, you son of a bitch, and I will not be dominated by you. No man has ever succeeded in that, and you won’t be the first.

All along, I’ve tried to take the higher road, to “be the better Chrisitan,” as my friend has suggested, and you only seek to harm me. You have the “leadership skills” of a 5 year old in the middle of a temper tantrum! Yes, you are a legend…but only in your own mind!

I wish I’d never invited you to burn the flag with me. You are an embarrassment and a constant public humiliation.

Can you imagine a documentary about the Mexican flag burning without the “notorious mexican flag burner” in it? I can…

Welcome to nonperson status. Do your worst to me and hurry up, because I have no more time to spend with trash like you. Spew your hatred to your list of 1,000 names, 90% of whom have you in their kill file because you are such a nut case.

Taking the higher road can only mean disassociating myself with you and your mental problems. Get some professional help and find some medication that will work for you! You are clearly a danger to yourself and the public.

Don’t write, don’t call, don’t crawl on your belly like the reptile you are. I am done with you. I don’t care if a pack of dogs, much less the OBL, jumps on you and tears you to pieces. You are your own worst enemy and you deserve the justice of The Tower, which will be coming to you shortly.

When you are in trouble, remember this little poem I send you:

Three times three,
the evil you have sent to me,
returns to thee!

In my perfect world, “I wish I’d never invited you to burn the flag with me,” would be the new catch phrase to replace “I wish I could quit you.”
