Everywhere, it’s part of what WhiteManistan has to say. They all talk like this and say it so often it would sound better if they sang it. Some do, using an assortment of similar refrains.
Which is what this is about. From the comments for Gun Nut Folk Tune. When you sing it for them, the truth apparently is of a lower moral standard. Should leave the country, too.
It’s probably futile to try to change current Republicans. It’s smarter to build a new wing of the Republican Party, one that can compete in the Northeast, the mid-Atlantic states, in the upper Midwest and along the West Coast.

The lede: Threatened by long-term declining participation in shooting sports, the firearms industry has poured millions of dollars into a broad campaign to ensure its future by getting guns into the hands of more, and younger, children … The industry’s strategies include giving firearms, ammunition and cash to youth groups; weakening state restrictions on hunting by young children; marketing an affordable military-style rifle for ‘junior shooters’ …”
Thousands of people, many holding signs with names of gun violence victims and messages such as “Ban Assault Weapons Now,” joined a rally for gun control on Saturday, marching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument …
Once the crowd arrived at the monument, speakers called for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition and for universal background checks on gun sales.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the crowd it’s not about taking away Second Amendment gun rights, but about gun safety and saving lives. He said he and President Barack Obama would do everything they could to enact gun control policies.
As I’ve pointed out, the gun nut lobby has worked hard cultivating its image as rage-filled white male ogres who are stockpiling arms, a group that frightens or repulses normal people.
The only thing protecting it are feckless Democrats and the entirety of the minority GOP. They’ve lost any good will they might have had with everyone else.
And about the liberties I took with the photo: Yes, I put my fingers on the scale. But I didn’t have to.
When a kid I went to the original vomit bag as advertising hook movie, Mark of the Devil, for a Saturday matinee in Pine Grove. It worked. Everyone in my grade wanted to go.
Rated “V” for Violence. For the NRA, Wayne LaPierre and the insurrectionist lobby, that’s fair, dontcha think? It would be a heckuva grindhouse movie.
