| Mass protest? Errrr, not so much. |

So in case you haven’t already heard, the last day of the Obama administration
was supposed to be Friday.
Well, according to the latest group of
bat-shit-crazy ‘patriots’ anyway. Apparently a group of 10-30 Million militia members
were set to take over Washington D.C. ready to stage a coup. They called the
effort “Operation American Spring.”

Instead, he told them all to show up with their bibles and
constitutions. (Yes, Seriously.) Because when you really want to overthrow the
United States government, you can really never underestimate the power of a
menacing stink-eye combined with a bible thrust into the air. Duh.
Anyway, shockingly those 30 million patriots didn’t quite
make it to the capitol Friday. I would say there were more like 30 of them. To
tell you the truth, after looking at all of the pictures from the event, I’m
trying to decide if I’m looking at a minuscule turnout in DC for the
#OperationAmericanSpring….or just a few old guys who work at Cracker Barrel out
for their smoke break.

But even though American Spring was a total bust,
something awesome still managed to come out of it. By Friday night, the
Liberals had taken to Twitter and made the hashtag “American Spring Excuses”
trend, with some hilarious mocking of the flopped coup attempt.
I guess we overestimated the power of a few menacing
stink eyes combined with bibles thrust in the air…damn! #AmericanSpringexcuses
