2. It never fails to amaze me...

...how the "less government" crowd forgets that without government "of, for, and by" the people, you get government "of, for, and by" the oligarchs.

When I see a rube like the one pictured above, I think he's more comfortable being told what to do by a corporation than participating in a consensus of his fellow citizens...

That is, they know that arms in the hands of citizens poses no problem to their plans for rule, contrary to the belief of those who use the "Citizen's right to oppose the government" excuse to demand that not one iota of the 2nd Amendment be abridged.

The media is full of David Gregories and Wolf Blitzers happy to whore themselves out as mouthpieces for whatever you want to come out of that mouth.

The root of the problem is 6 media companies and their homogenous "news".

Presented by readers, not licensed journalists with no ethical standards. Not that any of this makes the slightest difference to their "loyal followers".
Even if the RW sheeple were presented with all the facts, data & proof that Faux spews lies they would still turn on their channels for more RW kool-aide. It's truly an addiction like heroin or alcohol.
