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.
