Merged Tea Baggers / Twooferreality

These fools didn't seem all that upset about the Shrub spending borrowed money to whack Saddam for no particular reason, so why start now?

Actually, back in 200 when President Bush campaigned as a "compassionate conservative" people were sounding alarm bells.

Not that you would know, of course.

Is being worried about it in and of itself wrong? No.

Right... so the unprecedented spending is something to be worried about. And there is no reason to beleive that tea partiers are mentally ill other than the fact that Lefty disagrees with them.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

Yeah, but then there's this thing about drooling morons showing up at political rallies with weapons locked and loaded...

No, that's a non-sequiter. Just because concern about deficit spending isn't inherently crazy, that does not mean that every concern about deficit spending is justified. This is to say nothing of 'no reason to believe that tea partiers are mentally ill.' Many do display outright paranoia about federal programs, especially health care. There are other reasons to be worried about specific tea baggers that have nothing to do with the deficit, Beck, or Lefty.

I'm not claiming that tea party members are inherently crazy, or stupid. However, that doesn't mean that people in the movement can't be one or both.

I agree with you about the people on both sides who brought guns to rallies.

It was reckless, stupid and irresponsible of all who did it.

As I said, those on both sides who attended rallies and protests packing heat were reckless and stupid.

Well, I can see a reason for the Democrat to pack, if there are armed thugs trying to intimidate lefties.

I usually pack my concealed .38 spl specificly for self-defense at demonstrations because I know that rightwingers here get aggressive, and staying home is not an option.

But when you start waving a sign like Kostric did, that just goes way over any reasonable line. His main objective was NOT self-defense.

Look, man, toting a gun to your Nuke the Whales rally is going to get you hurt. Please don't do it, and if you do bring your .38 at least file the front sight off. That way, when some cop takes it away from you and jams it up your ass it won't hurt quite as much when you extract it. Proper self-defense handguns have a caliber that begins with .4.

The democrat/health reform supporter in the article I linked to was also waving a sign.

Why would say WTF and demand evidence for the claim that left wingers have brought weapons to rallies when you are on the left and have brought weapons to rallies?

Legally carrying a concealed weapon in a hostile environment and not displaying it in an intimidating manner is a hell of a lot different from openly carrying a loaded weapon and a sign that suggests that it is time to kill a government figure.

158 grain LSWC will adjust an orc's attitude quite well. And I do not know that many people who can put fortyfive out of fifty in the 9-ring in less than ten minutes with an M 1911. (Mind you, my Rossi is a five-shot and I always fire single-action.)

In a self-defense situation, I'm more concerned with the damage one round can do, because one might be all you can get. Might as well maximize it.

Someone once asked the old gunslinger why he carried a Colt .45.

His response?

"Because they don't make a Colt .46."

People like Kostric are among the reasons I pack. They had best not get froggy.

"Froggy"? Is that a refernce to dangerous subversive activities like the premeditated wearing of green T-shirts? Do you have a codename for such people, like "Kermit". As in, "We have another kermit approaching from the east, should I engage, over?"

Seriously, Lefty... you need to leave the gun at home. I ain't kidding.
