A word for anyone who wonders why I believe in being a heavily armed liberal.
It would be because of guys like this.



And the fact that for every guy who says this out loud, thousands more silently nod.

14. Wow, that's interesting
In the 2008 election, I voted for the libertarian party’s candidate for President, Bob Barr.

For years, yes, admittedly, I voted Democrat. That is; till 2008. I didn’t leave that party. They left me.

For a time, I tried making end-roads with Neo-Conservatives. This was a dismal failure. I just cannot agree with those who insist on not taking responsibilities for their failures. See here to understand what I am referring to.



So, he went from being a "Democrat" to being a "Buchananite American Conservative"....... I wonder how that worked through the process.

9. You are sure you are going to recognize them and shoot them before the recognize and shoot you?
Why am I not afraid like you?

I have been to war were I was really shot at and rarely was I afraid there. I've used all kinds of small arms from rifles to pistols to 50 cal machine guns and my feeling is that life in the U.S. isn't even 1/100,000,000 as lethal as war.


My point is that I don't feel the need to carry a gun and wouldn't. My life is not like war.

10. I have no guarantees.
Just as I have no guarantees that if my house catches on fire, my fire extinguishers will save me. But I maintain them and know how to use them anyway, to give myself the best odds if something should happen. That's the same reason why the shotgun lives on my bedroom wall. Do those things mean I live in fear of a house fire?

11. Of course, the fire extinguishers won't be responsible for burning down your own house
Not so sure your firearms will provide you with that same level of security.

23. You're suggesting that my shotgun is going to go on a rampage and murder me?
I think you're anthropomorphizing a bit there.

Ever read the comments after an article posted on Luciannne.com?

17. There are a lot of
insane people in the US. Before Reagan we actually had facilities to treat, house and maintain them.

Now they own computers and live in their own fecal matter.

20. I'm armed, but I wouldn't call it "heavily".
And fascists like that are exactly WHY I'm armed.

22. Whoop, there it is
And you're probably right about those who remain silent but think the same thing this cretin is saying. And how many of those on the right would sit silently by and let it happen?

This is directed at all of us simply because we believe something different, in a supposedly free country. I don't know about anybody else but I shall remain armed and vigilant. The Glenn Becks and Michelle Bachmanns have created and turned this monster loose on us. I'm not going to run in circles with my hair on fire but neither will I cower in a corner. And I certainly won't pretend that if I ignore it that it will just go away.

No, I will remain quietly armed and vigilant....watching

24. If you have a twitter account, report him.
The more people who report him, the more likely his account will be deleted.

28. Honestly, I think that does nothing.
Other than hide his kind of hatred from the people who don't yet know what the right wing is about, and who might have their eyes opened. Getting deleted off Twitter won't change his mind, or the minds of others like him, but his bile may enlighten some bystander who thinks the right wing is still respectable.

25. How is that different from the Wingnuts who use 9/11 Twin Towers attack and other images
for why they want war, bigger bombs, etc.

as someone who knew people who had numbers tattooed on their forearms I have to say, this is really fucking sick. I am anti-death penalty, but some people just cannot be fixed.

31. That is only one of many warnings we must really take seriously - this is NOT an isolated person,
this is a movement on the extreme right, and the extreme right is getting closer to the center every day.

They REALLY hate us, and they are seriously planning to kill us, and many of them have been TELLING US THIS FOR YEARS!!!
