"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."- President Obama, last year
Too true. The loonies ARE coming out of the woodwork and they've got Republicans, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Hannity, et al urging them to kill.
Meanwhile, gun owners across America - when they aren't selling arms to support Mexican drug cartels - are experiencing brisk sales to fear-filled conservatives who swear our nation is turning fascist/socialist/communist/liberal/atheist based on the filth force-fed them from their radios.
You reap what you sow assholes. That's all I've got to say.
