Conservative Groups Protest Central American Children By Marching With Guns

Conservative groups protested the possible housing of Central American children in Vassar, Michigan, on Monday by marching through town, some with AR-15 rifles and handguns, according to The Detroit News.

About 50 protesters led by the group Michiganders for Immigration Control and Enforcement carried American and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags as they marched from city hall to a social services facility that may house the children. The protest follows a similar but larger gathering that took place last week.

I believe the backlash from these vile demonstrations of hate will be the undoing of the GOP in the 2014 elections.

5. Like they paid for the Iraq war, the subprime lending crisis, Wall Street bailouts and 9/11?

Yeah, they'll pay alright. Sometime. Maybe...


Oh look at that! Time to move forward.

Or how about pulling guns on federal agents and have nothing happen over it. They really paid for that one as well. I'll bet they are just quivering in their seats..

8. Or the ones who blocked the road so federal employees couldn't do their jobs.

The cops really made them pay for that.

I'm getting really tired of this double standard of law enforcement; the laws just don't apply to wing-nuts.

HuffPost and others should use other terms to label those who engage in such incendiary behavior.

who are gearing up to help. They are an hour or ninety minutes from me. If they need anything from me, I will see what I can do.

I hope they are not the only ones trying to help!

11. ...And the Hobby Lobby decision, and the anti-choice bullshit going on in Texas, just for starters.

If the GOP isn't down for the count by now, then the American people are dumber than I thought.
