Gays, guns and God

Haven’t they been stoking these fears since 2007?

A lot of people in this country should have their guns taken away from them. All you have to do is read the newspapers each day to see this.

They have been stroking the fear since well before 2007. During Bill’s tenure as President, they stroked them.

They have NOTHING else and without the fear, then the fools would wake up and realize they have been taken for a ride. Then the NRA and company would lose big time in the elections.

OMG , taking away their man/womanhood ? Heaven forbid . /s

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

The new GOP slogan, same as the old GOP slogan: “All we have to sell is fear itself.”

The politicians stoke while their donors stroke.

The same fools that buy into this are the same ones that believe in all the other BS stuff that Carson and Trump are spewing that’s getting them the high polling numbers and pushing “normal” GOP candidates into the single digit numbers. So I say, let them stoke away.

Even Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) joined the pile-on:

“Even”? “EVEN”? You make it sound like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is the last person in the world you could imagine joining with or pandering to a conspiracy theory. Have you forgotten who was one of the main drivers behind the Jade Helm takeover of Texas paranoia?

When there is a conspiracy theory fueled by paranoia and guns, you can expect the governor of Texas to be in the forefront, not reluctantly dragged along.

16. (used to suggest that something mentioned as a possibility constitutes an extreme case or an unlikely instance):
    Even the slightest noise disturbs him. Even if he attends, he may not participate.

“As usual” would be more appropriate…

This is the easiest prediction I have made in the last two years. Also after Hillary’s 2 terms the next democratic president will be a’comming fer yer gunz.

One of President Obama’s first executive orders was to allow firearms in national parks. Of course, the GOPers were outraged at this “illegal executive action” as they protested, armed to the teeth, against the president of the United States, on national park property.

Just in time for Conservative Halloween. Sooper scary! What a fantasy land these people live in. Built from the ground up with political enemy’s innuendos, vague internet rumors and a BIG imagination. No wonder these poor dears have guns. They’re scared shitless.

I think I would have gone with “Predictably, …”.

Yep, old saw with same results…

I think that was a law and not an executive order.

… I’m sorry, but this is news how again?

Isn’t this a bit like reporting the Westboro Baptist Church is picketing a funeral as something new? Or the KKK denouncing interracial marriages? Or that there still haven’t been any WMDs found in Iraq?

Today in the News: “The sun still rises in the East, and sets in the West. In depth shocker: water is still wet!!”
