Meet Mike Vanderboegh: “patriot,” domestic terrorist and our latest Putz of the Week.

Hey! It’s 6:15 Friday morning, Sam is still asleep and I’ve got a brand new Putz of the Week for you ... and for a refreshing change of pace IT’S NOT RICK PERRY even though I’ve always got more than enough material to keep him in first place for practically forever.

This time, however, we’re honoring Mike Vanderboegh, a “patriot,” domestic terrorist and self-proclaimed constitution-loving Three Percenter who publicly threatened the “tyrannical” United States government this week in a Fox News radio interview with Alan Colmes: “If you don’t want to fight, get out of our face. All we want is to be left alone. Take your nanny state government, take your supposed good intentions that you wrap around this iron fist, take it and shove it. Enforce laws we don’t like and SOMEBODY IS GONNA GET SHOT.”

Colmes responded, “The people you are calling tyrants were elected as part of due process in a representative government. Why don’t you run for office and show us the way it’s supposed to be done? These are not dictators. We elected Barack Obama.” Vanderboegh replied by encouraging his fellow patriots to vote with their guns.

Vote with their guns? To me this sure sounds like Vanderboegh is threatening to OVERTHROW THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT and gives a voice to the new face of radical “patriotism” since the Bundy Ranch horseshit started in Nevada. All of a sudden these terrified, overweight old racists armed with assault rifles and disability checks are pointing guns at anybody who disagrees with their warped interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Who gave this arrogant jerk the right to pick which laws he wants to obey?

Sociopaths like Vanderboegh begging to be left alone on a planet approaching eight billion souls is a libertarian wet dream that just won’t happen in modern society. The FBI needs to come down hard on these idiots already. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t taking up arms against the United States a federal offense punishable by prison? And since when is threatening to overthrow the government considered FREE SPEECH? I’d think the feds would be plenty worried about a violent dickhead like Vanderboegh who’s armed with ASSAULT WEAPONS.

Here’s more of Vanderboegh in his own words. For some reason he’s scared to death by HEALTH INSURANCE. (The first quote comes across like a psychotic Dr. Seuss.)

Reacting to the imminent passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010: “If you wish to send a message that Nancy Pelosi and her party cannot fail to hear, break their windows. Break them NOW. Break them and run to break again. Break them under cover of night. Break them in broad daylight. Break them with rocks. Break them with slingshots. Break them with baseball bats. But BREAK THEM.”

After the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act: “If we refuse to obey, we will be fined. If we refuse to pay the fine, we will in time be jailed. If we refuse to report meekly to jail, we will be sent for by armed men. And if we refuse their violent invitation at the doorsteps of our own homes we will be killed — unless we kill them first.”

Holy mother of crap. I need a Marcytini. This time, make it a double.
