    If Virginians aren’t surrounding the county government building, 24/7, with firearms…

    Your fucking state motto is Sic Semper Tyranis.

    Live up to it, or never be taken seriously, about anything, ever again.

    You know what happened in Iceland in the 07/08 financial crisis?

    Something like 1/3 to 2/3 of the entire population of the island surrounded parliament, literally with pitchforks, untill they actually prosecuted the criminal financiers for their actual financial crimes.

    Iceland is basically the only Western country that didn’t bail out their bankster fraud artists, and sent them to fucking prison, instead.

    Ya’ll gonna let your selves get outdone by Iceland?

      I’ve seen, firsthand, how Icelanders group up and solve problems together as a unit. They have a cultural tradition of outdoing other cultures, because of this.
