Guns ≠ Life, stupid!

[lunadelcorvo]

Quote from an article on Religion Dispatches about gun-toting tea-party goers:

The Constitution Party is frequently dismissed as a fringe party of little electoral consequence, even though its significance lies elsewhere. It is in fact a steaming hotbed of far-right factions with theocratic, vigilante, and sometimes revolutionary ideas whose like-minded members get together to make their plans, just like any other organized faction in American public life. The party says it is 100% pro-life and pro-gun. (emphasis is mine)

Now, let's just think about that for a moment. Even in a movement which can accept claims like those of the tea party, the biblical literalists, and the Tim LaHayes of the world, this statement seems to require a level of doublethink even George Orwell could not help but be impressed by. And terrified....

(Here's the story, and it's a damned disturbing one at that, I might add: "[I] Pray For Barack Obama To Die And Go To Hell”: The Story The Media Missed)

And, please, can someone explain to me how "Democracy" means "If we can't have things our way, we'll take over with guns and make everyone live our way?" Plzkthnx....

Uh-huh. *shakes head*

I fear the coming lean years will only encourage this kind of fascist insanity.

Hey, I'm pro-gun too-- and pro-abortion! No hypocrisy here! =^D

Quick! Get those people some jobs so we can keep them OUT of trouble! All this free time is not good for them! 8^o
