The idiots in the comments section are blaming the corruption in Texas and this whole Waco charade on the GOP. Like liberal Jews, the bikers don't know who their real friends are. NO WONDER they get screwed. They ask for it. And when conservatives lead the fight for justice ... they give the left credit.

Morons.

The loons are the conspiracy theorists who think

-- nearly 120 Texas residents with a lifetime of totally clean records in Texas

-- "conspired" to commit murder in plain sight of at least four marked police cars (according to the police themselves)

-- in front of all the security cameras and cell phone cameras certain to be present

-- during Sunday brunch rush at a busy restaurant in a busy shopping center

-- shortly before the official start of a pre-publicized open political meeting associated with nation-wide motorcyclist organization with a 20-plus-year history of perfectly peaceful gatherings

-- armed with ordinary wallet chains, nail clippers, legal pocket knives, legal firearms, and long guns still stored in their vehicles.

The only LOONS are the ones who actually swallow LEO's crappy narrative wholesale. They are the kind of LOONS who believe everything the see on TV, from Sons of Anarchy to one-sided History Channel "documentaries."

Only a true loon would believe that 177 Texas bikers would do such a ridiculously stupid thing and that cops just happened to be there to "save the day." THAT is some conspiracy you subscribe to, Okie. A naïve and dangerous one.

Thanks for the ping, by the way! {^) It just stuns me, though, to see how many bikers commenting on various forums, are lefty-leaning folks who buy into the "evil Republican" narrative every bit as eagerly as the Church Lady faction buys into the "evil biker criminals" meme. They almost deserve each other.

However, all Americans deserve the rights granted to us via the Constitution. That takes priority.

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God!

It is a good tagline deserving of its owner.

The biker community is as filled with low information voters, LIVs, as everywhere else. They vote against their own interests because they are operating on a badly informed level.

Often as not they vote for the very tyranny that oppresses them now, thinking they were voting against it. They still blame it on the "other" guy. One commenter there talks about Republican corruption and I'm thinking, Yeah, right -- Democrat Lyndon Johnson wasn't corrupt to the tips of his perverted toes! The corruption transcends party. It flies over the heads of LIVs. They choose their team, R or D, and vote defense.

Conservatives transcend party as well and need to inform patriots and help them escape the LIV trap.

“Conservatives transcend party as well and need to inform patriots and help them escape the LIV trap.”

Reagan quote from 1977:

“Our task is not to sell a philosophy, but to make the majority of Americans, who already share that philosophy, see that modern conservatism offers them a political home.”

I don’t see how what is happening in Waco makes that task any easier. The other side will be happy to take advantage of it. I think that is what you are seeing.
