[Sharron Angle 's rhetoric] sounded a lot more like a call for insurrection, based simply on policy differences with Democrats. Ernst’s statement doesn’t amount to that. But it does fetishize guns as a tool for fighting the government.

Fetishize?

These clumsy propagandists always try to layer in a just a little more smear. At some point, it becomes transparent to any objective mind.

To me, one of the most important things we should teach our kids in school is how to recognize such authoritarian tripe, critically analyze it, and then explain to our countrymen how it is being used to manipulate public opinion and ultimately undermine Liberty.

Did the founding fathers “fetishize” guns, too?
