The battle over gun control has exposed a truth the mainstream media is apparently too shy to mention: A bunch of far right white mostly southern paranoid extremists are preparing for armed revolution and apocalypse. They speak treason: literally.
They are preparing to “defend” America from America with arsenals of weapons and stockpiles of ammunition. Their “enemy” is everyone in America not like them.
They think the world is ending and/or that the government is out to get them. That doesn’t mean it will happen. But expect violence and assassinations. Their ideology is made up of equal parts racism, evangelical Christian fascination with the “end times,” hatred of president Obama, resentment of the “Old South” variety and a Fox News/Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh version of world “history.” As the New Yorker noted:
“Every demographic and political trend that helped to reëlect Barack Obama runs counter to the [South’s] self-definition:…The Solid South speaks less and less for America and more and more for itself alone… Solidity has always been the South’s strength, and its weakness. The same Southern lock that once held the Democratic Party now divides the Republican Party from the socially liberal, fiscally moderate tendencies of the rest of America… The South’s vices—‘violence, intolerance, aversion and suspicion toward new ideas’—grow particularly acute during periods when it is marginalized and left behind. An estrangement between the South and the rest of the country would bring out the worst in both—dangerous insularity in the first, smug self-deception in the second.”
The Republican/white/southern extremists make reasonable gun control impossible. Their cataclysmic irrationality risks taking the debate into the twilight zone, and that “zone” is a zone of violence: call it the civil war continued by other means...

Do you ever get the feeling they don’t like us?

And there were a sizable number of “ethnic minorities” present in the gun stores and at the gun show here in Jacksonville this past Saturday.
Identify the target.
Freeze the target.
Demonize the target.
When do they start handing out all of the ammunition they’ve purchased?
It was Obummber who told a collective of faggots in San Fransicko that he would have to shuck and jive in some political speeches in 2008 to win over some voters in flyover country who "cling to religion and guns".
We knew he was lying then about "not gonna take your guns" and "I'm a lifelong Christian" and "I oppose same sex marriage".
I have no gun in this battle. I don't own a gun.
But the president is a lying bastard and both of those words are true and will be his ultimate legacy.
Next, they’ll be calling us ‘undesirables’. Then come the concentration camps.
Libtards really are loathsome scumbags.
We have rednecks and they have gangs. Who would you want to trust?
Thank the Gods i’m not a Christian.
However, anyone attempting to subvert the Constitution with Marxist crap isn’t going to have a happy time with me...
“We aren’t mostly southern either. There’s scary rednecks outside the city limits nationwide.”
Do you get the feeling that someone is setting up a fight? We’re being set up big time. Who’s going to be in charge in the end?
You forget that to a progressive all "ethnic minorities" look alike.
And, to the left they all look precisely as they should.
The Northern folk are about to get some head pats about what good Elmer Fudds they are, while those southern folks (otherwise just like them) are a bunch of racially crazed hillbillies.
“cataclysmic”
I imagine the fruit who wrote this would find the South to be cataclysmically awash in testerone, in comparison. He strikes me as someone who would pick up a gun by accident, then squeal and drop it.
Yeah.... I don’t foresee me being carted off to a camp. Alive at least.
Do they really think that any coming war is going to be as simple as North V. South?
Communists acknowledge that there will always be a sizable bloc of the population who will not succumb to political re-education and must be imprisoned in gulags or killed.
Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground figured it would be tens of millions of “hold outs” who would refuse CHANGE.
Those who seek to toss the Constitution on the scrap pile are SEDITIOUS. The POS-POTUS just swore to uphold the Constitution “so help me God”.
What does that mean when he’s repeatedly on record trying to find ways around the language in the Constitution and the separation of powers?
The always use “reasonable”, “common sense”, etc when referring to infringing on our contitutional rights yet they have a hissy fit when we suggest the same about their penumbras right to abortion
