More Bundying

The right wing militia types are Bundying in Oregon.

“Hey, what's in your pants?   A Colt 1911, you say?  Well I'm glad you have something to hold onto.”

They each use their free hand to pat a copy of the document all of them carry in a shirt pocket.  They are completely oblivious to the fact that the document they are patting established the very government they fear and loath. Yes it established that government; the one they say they will die to defy. They challenge us to martyr them if we can; this American Taliban! They think they are range warrior cowboys and they double dogie dare us!

As I said in a post entitled Some Hero, vicious and stupid is a very dangerous combination. There must be something about taking over a government building that has given even the Republicans pause for thought. I say this because the Republican demagogues who supported Cliven Bundy are now backing away from the actions of his son. I doubt that those demagogues actually pulled their heads out of their dark and smelly worlds, but could they... I mean, is it possible that those demagogues finally realize that the Timothy McVeighs of this world do not confine themselves to killing only Democrats?  If so do I dare to indulge in a more enormous leap of faith by asking whether those demagogues will ever realize that guns in the wrong hands can kill their loved ones as well as ours!

Hopefully law enforcement will be able to end this stand off in Oregon without bloodshed and a court will mete out appropriate sentences or provide for the mental health care those delusional range warriors need.
