While still transferring entries from the old blog, I ran into a Palmetto State article featuring Joe “You Lie” Wilson, part of the family that owns that outfit. Here is an somewhat updated article on the company, which very, very much wants to arm those folks wanting to take over our country and presumably throw a lot of us into the camps.

Militia membership is on the rise and yet no one seems to be doing a whole hell of a lot to reign in these domestic terrorists.

Considering many of them hate the government and positively are abhorred by the reality that the President is not a white man, you’d think that would be enough to round ’em up and throw away the key. I mean, just a glance at the violence promised on their websites should be all the threat you need. I can’t walk up to someone and promised to pop a bullet into their children’s heads without *at least* a future discussion with a law enforcement official, yet these folks seem to be able to do the same and much, much worse all the time.

Why? What do we gain by allowing this? What does it say when we pick and choose who the law applies to?

Apparently abandoning both the concepts of “Thou shalt not kill” and “Though shall have no other gods before me”, South Dakota is looking to legalize the killing of anyone working at an abortion clinic.

You know, because Republicans have a better handle on this judging other’s sins business than to wait for any possible atonement in the afterlife.

Um, assholes? This is EXACTLY the kind of crap people were referring to when saying some GOP members are endorsing violence. Guess you decided to double down on the bloodshed.

When even Giffords’ dad blames violent conservatives, maybe you might want to give this theory a chance to be discussed.

I know it is considered polite not to accuse people of poor behavior even when they are in the midst of doing so. But most of my adult life I’ve heard conservatives make harsh jokes about the Clintons, insulting their daughter, mocking each other, hating that Barack Obama is black and President.

Hell, even McCain was attacked by Bush, saying his adopted daughter was his love child from when he was a prisoner in Vietnam. I’m no McCain fan, but that is low. And the fact that he thought he could only continue his career by laughing it off and literally embracing Bush afterwards says a lot about his lack of self-respect and about how shitty things are in the Republican party in this regard.

So yeah, if Mr. Giffords wants to blame Sarah Palin, et al for his daughter having been shot in the head, I am inclined to let the man have his opinion. He’s got a lot of damn good reasons for coming to that conclusion.

It isn’t enough to calm your words and rhetoric. More should be done. We have allowed Second Amendment-twisting morons the right to have their own personal armories in their own homes. Legally.

I have no problem with gun ownership. Have a rifle to hunt with. Have a shotgun to take out a home invader should that ever happen. A handgun? Be serious. Most folks aren’t properly trained with it and ever fewer of those practice often enough to be able to shoot straight with one.

And even if you have one, do you really need a 31 round clip instead of just 10 for your Glock?

Do you? Really? Because that, if nothing else, is what separated the unfortunate shooting of a couple people versus taking out 20 people.

You’ve got the right to own a gun. You shouldn’t have the right to be fricking Rambo.

It’s sad how lunatics just keep on inspiring others to do evil. To some, Timothy McVeigh is a hero. That’s really all you need to know about these people.

This is the last I’ll be posting related to the Treason Rally in Searchlight while back.
