@TUSK81 @Ronc99 @GOP @seanhannity @GovernorPerry Are you planning to shoot children, Perry?


Locked, loaded and loony: Rick Perry and Sean Hannity are on Mexican border patrol

Hannity tweeted out photos showing himself with the governor, with weapons and enough ammunition to shoot plenty of kids who dare to step across the border and cross into the United States.

Obviously, this is a ratings grab by Hannity and a publicity stunt by Perry. The governor is bound and determined to get more attention for his opposition to the thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America and coming to America illegally.

Naturally, America already has Border Patrol agents who are fully trained and capable of rounding up the kids and making sure U.S. laws are obeyed when the children cross the border.

Maybe those agents don’t need Hannity and Perry hinting that the best way to keep the kids out of this country are by winging them. Or doing something worse . . .

But be careful, with enough practice, he'll be able to shoot his companion in the face!

Get in front of cameras, shreik and hurl feces, do nothing constructive. This appeals to the GOP base.
