I would lean toward suspecting it's some sick gunner fuck trying to "prove a point."

Their rights are more important than ours. Yeah, I get it. That's what they think. Their "hero" NOT-joe the-I-am-not-a-plumber-but-I-play-one-on-TV-news-clips spoke loudly and clearly for all of them. His rights trump mine. I get it.

Which is why I will fight and defy and obstruct and loudly denounce assholes like this - to my last breath!!!!

When shit like this happens, I always find myself mumbling - "President Obama doesn't want to come take your precious goddam fucking guns. I do." I'm a MOM. When the kids won't play safely or properly with their toys, the solution is extremely simple: THEN THEY SIMPLY DON'T GET TO HAVE THOSE TOYS ANYMORE!!!! I go and fix it. I take those toys away. Problem solved. Message delivered. Period.

We ALL Want to hurl when his hideous face disrupts our field of vision.

SHEER Ugliness inside AND out. And another sincere thank you for your service, Wounded Bear! I appreciate anybody who put themselves squarely in harm's way for others' sake, whether it's personally going to face war full-frontal or it's pulling on a half-ton of firefighting gear to run INTO the fire while the rest of us are running out away from it. You guys are the ultimate first responders, and I don't know what the rest of us would do without you! Especially considering how many chickenhawks are so loudly and raucously clucking and squawking these days.

Welcome to DU, stuartsdesk1

Glad you're here! LOVE your "Momma Grizzly" cartoon! EXCELLENT!!! These assholes ARE INDEED giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Just because there's a black guy in the Oval Office and he isn't the janitor!!!! HORRORS!!! TERRORISM!!!! Or my absolute favorite question-in-the-full-throes-of-hissyfit (that was put directly to me by somebody in an email chain who didn't like my objections to the Iraq War): "WHERE WERE YOU 9/11????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!"

I still love that one to pieces! "WHERE WERE YOU 9/11??????!?!?!!?!?!" Where was I 9/11? Um - did somebody forget a preposition there? Could it have been "WHERE WERE YOU ON 9/11??" Or maybe "WHERE WERE YOU FOR 9/11?" Or "WHERE WERE YOU ABOUT 9/11?" Or "WHERE WERE YOU BEHIND 9/11?"Or maybe "WHERE WERE YOU OVER, UNDER, AROUND AND THROUGH 9/11?"

I actually wrote back to this bozo and told him "where I was 9/11." First, "where was I 9/11" was comforting my neighbor across the street whose kid went to school with mine, and so we carpooled. And she was literally beside herself in sheer panic, because she'd taken that same Boston-to-L.A. flight a couple of days earlier, for her work, and she was in full freak-out mode and totally unable to drive. Because the school had just called and announced it was closed for the day and everybody who just dropped their kids off should come back and pick 'em up. So "where was I 9/11" drove, with her still in the middle of a serious panic-attack in the passenger seat, to pick our three kids up and bring 'em home. And then a few hours later, "where was I 9/11" was working with another mom whose son was my son's best friend and they were Cub Scouts together, and she wanted to do a fundraiser for the 9/11 survivors and victims' families so we went out and bought a slew of little flag pins to sell to raise donations - which we then arranged to turn over to the Red Cross (as so many efforts immediately after that horrid event were doing). That's where "where was I 9/11" actually WAS, on 9/11.

DEAR GOD, sometimes I just simply have NO patience with these moran jerks.

And I got NO response to that, btw.

Oh they'll find deeper depths. Count on it.

That's all they know how to do. Vitriol R Us.

I try never to get into any of those too deeply. As you said, Uben, it "isn't worth raising the

dander." I pride myself on my naturally low blood pressure anyway, and I don't want to mess with that in any way!

And trumad - glad you're still here, in whatever capacity feels most appropriate for you. We need you. Don't stray too far!

This is WUNNNNNNNNNNNNderful!

THANK YOU for posting this, DeSwiss! They used to use music like this in the cool-down period after cardio class. It was just so wonderful!!! Keeping it. I went to the Youtube version and bookmarked that whole page of R. Carlos Nakai. The tribes always seem to know best. Wonderful. JUST WONDERFUL!!!!

Welcome to DU, El Shaman!

Glad you're here. THIS is the true patriotism. Not the poseur type with their teabag-festooned toys and costume-play hats. THIS is the true patriotism. Remarkable story. THIS makes me feel proud. The other chickenshit types make me feel ashamed.

Yeah, no kidding! No kidding.

THAT is a patriot. Not some aging slob with a three-cornered hat from the local costume shop, with tea bags stapled on from the rim of it. So glad sarisataka posted this. Keeping this entire thread! The music in the video DeSwiss posted upthread is so incredibly beautiful and healing! Here it is again. Check out that whole YouTube page. Comes as a most welcome antidote to the shrieking idiocy we're forced to slog through these days.

HIGHLY recommended!!!

LOVE IT!!!

If that's the case, he should be put AWAY for a long time.

And NOT allowed to have a radio or internet capability to listen to that dangerous, divisive shit anymore. I think people like alex jones are a menace to society for what they stir up. They're the type that think their personal "freedom-freedoms" actually DO entitle them to yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater - ANYWAY. Because. Because Not Even Benghazi. Because They Don't Even Need A Benghazi.

Sigh... another white male paranoiac. Only this is a younger one. It hard to determine which is worse - an old (or older) crank like cliven bundy or bill o'reilly, or someone in this guy's demographic.
