“We should also have money; lots and lots of untraceable bills in low denominations like the kind I used to carry.”

He didn’t just carry, he donated to the IRA

We’re at war with Islamist terrorism.

And pro-life crazies (Dr. Tiller); and militia-types (McVey); and militant scofflaws (Bundy); and, and, and … none of which require military equipment on our American streets. And none mentioned are ‘furners’.

Not to MI-5. Notice how King never travels to the UK?

The cop stopped two assault rifle-armed gunmen with his service pistol, apparently we DON’T need cops to be more heavily armed, just well-trained like this cop was.

Peter King’s paranoia makes it reasonable to believe that some of our most dangerous enemies are Americans serving in Congress posing as super-patriots.

Even more impressive: two armed gunmen who were reportedly wearing body armor.

Apparently, the organizers also had State troopers, FBI and ATF agents providing security for the event, all behind a barbed wire fence. I’d say they were being provocative and had a large amount of firepower available.

All of this could have been avoided with an armored personnel carrier stationed out front and an Apache helicopter hovering overhead.

That giant head and face being all red, maybe it’s time for the Itchy and Scratchy Show.

King’s comments were paid for by the Irish Republican Army (not to be confused as a terrorist organization…oh, wait).

“When people like Hillary Clinton say the police shouldn’t have weapons of war – the fact is we are at war,” King said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “We’re at war with Islamist terrorism. We have to all the weapons and all the resources available.”

Wrong, Mr. King, we are not at war on the streets of America. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what the National Guard is for?

Actually, it tells me that these guys didn’t have any clue about what they were doing. Planning was mediocre, to say the least.

Read the wrong websites, apparently.

The Pam Gellers, of the world, male and female, live to spread hatred and support their habit.

Winders who even the most vile haters have troubling cuddling up to, speaks at a “Let’s draw Muhhamed” cartoon fest, which of course has no reason for existing other than to keep Pam Gellar in the news and to shove a proverbial middle-finger in the face of some Muslims (and I wont even mention it’s having been held in Texas). King says, we are at war … but tell me again just who is the one is pushing us into that war … from my perspective it’s these idiots. King, Gellar, Winders all need to be brought up on charges of inciting violence. Yes, there are Islamic extremists, but here you have a perfect example of Christian terrorists at work. These people are itching for a war, and they don’t care who gets trampled underfoot in their rush towards creating the chaos that they desire.

Poor guy can’t help it … his outer appearance is a reflection of his inner beauty.

Clinton didn’t say the police shouldn’t have guns. She said they shouldn’t have tanks and armored personnel carriers. King, like all other GOP politicians, does nothing for his constituency other than to scare them to death and then offer to save them from mythical enemies. It seems to work big time, so there’s little chance the GOP will change tactics. One need only look at Texas for the latest example of how to scare the brain dead GOP base.

…his frown is less scary than his smile.
