Video has surfaced of a Maryland Republican nominee for Anne Arundel County Council singing “Dixie” as the national anthem at a secession conference in Alabama.

Over the weekend, Grove City College psychology professor and blogger Warren Throckmorton uncovered video of Michael Peroutka speaking to the 2012 League of the South national conference in Wallsboro, Alabama.

Peroutka generated controversy after winning the GOP nomination because he believes that the current U.S. and state governments are no longer valid, and should be destroyed by secession or other means.

“You need to secede and then you need to have the biblical understanding of law and government, and make the applications,” Peroutka told the League of the South in 2012. “So we need to take the biblical understand of law and government into account no matter what the outcome is with respect to the crumbling of the current regime.”

5. every week it seems to get worse

I mean, how much more right wing do the Republicans have to get before they become a strictly southern/rural party ? Wearing Klan Hoods ? Wearing Nazi armbands ?

9. The only ways

I can think of for them to become even more RW are either for more people in the party to openly call for a return to slavery, oppose any taxation, or push for some federal law mandating that all Americans purchase guns. So far, they've done just about everything short of that.

10. What a moran. Maryland never seceded.

Although, as a border state, it did have some Confederate sympathizers. One Civil War battle pitted the 1st Maryland Regiment, U.S.A. against the 1st Maryland Regiment, C.S.A.

17. That guy could run for Alabama governor or US senator and win. He said "biblical" a lot and

sang "Dixie". What else is there, except may a call to return to pre-1964 civil rights?
