‘Go golf': Over 8,000 Oregon protesters tell Obama to go home

President Obama is hoping to use the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon as the backdrop for his call for more gun control today, but the locals aren’t standing idly by.

Many are already our in force — over 8,000 by one estimate — telling the president to go home.

Larry Brown ‏@LarryB_in_OK Over 8,000 protesters are lining the streets in #Roseburg to oppose #Obama showing up there today. #ObamaGoHome

Several people on hand are posting photos of the protesters’ signs and messages to Obama.

“My family, my friends, everybody down here is not happy about him coming,” Roseburg native Michelle Finn told The Oregonian yesterday.

“He already says he’s going to politicize this — he’s already going to push his agenda. And if he knew Roseburg and Douglas County, he’d know these are the wrong people to be doing that with.”

#LiveOnKMTR Protesters already out at the Roseburg Airport for Obama's visit with victims of the #UCCShooting

We don't want Obama here! #Roseburg #ObamaGoHome #hewtt @jbiver1 @BZep .@AndyWendt

“My family, my friends, everybody down here is not happy about him coming,” Roseburg native Michelle Finn told The Oregonian yesterday.

Greg Gutfeld (FOX), talking about the Syrian mess, just said that “Putin is KGB while Obama is K-Y”. I’m still laughing.

Also....In Portland thru voter rolls analysis they found ONE house where 200+ were registered to vote...Oregon is a mail-in ballot state.

the western half of NJ still has traditional Americans but their numbers are dwarfed by the coastal half...

But what about Monmouth county? We are one the winners of republican vote in any national election

Roseburg was a lumber town before the spotted owl was used by the Feds and courts robbed our industry and jobs. International policy on supporting the dumping of Russian nickel closed the mine where I worked. No we know full well the evil of progressive policies. Now some of the Californians who have moved and retired here are looney tune progressives who took advantage of low home prices caused by the collapse of the timber industry.

Likely in King county, from what my buddy tells me of the place.

A real liberal cesspool. Hipster heaven.

-— Wow! Maybe liberal Oregon is starting to see the light. -—

Oregon population: 4 million
Greater Portland: 2 million

As always, the Democrap cities are the problem areas.

Oregon is not like WA or CA. We only have 3 million total and once you get outside the city limits it is very conservative. They just have to turn out an extra 30K and they can win.

**** “The county Sheriff might have something to say about that” ****

That ain’t no lie. That Sheriff is King of his County. Feds ask Him for permission.
(at least that is the way it works in Texas)

In Oregon, of all places...

Google image search a state-by-state voting map. Then, in a second window, try a county vote map. Compare the two. You'll be pretty amazed.

He’s a vindictive prick. Narcissists can’t handle humiliation. They’ll pay for it.

Watch for it...within a year, the EPA will give the town to the nearest Indian Tribe.

Whenever I can, I attend the Independence Day parade in Westcliffe, Custer County, Colorado where two of my brothers live.

Every year there are around 500-600 people carrying in the parade. You can see Ar-15’s, Black Powder long guns, .9mm Glocks, .22 pistols and everything in between. Not bad for a county of around 1600 people.

At the head of the parade are two or three county Sheriffs.

And the Sheriffs could deputize a lot more than were in the parade. :)

You see the same in any State.

Half of North Dakota's population is in Grand Forks, Fargo, and Bismarck/Mandan. The rest of the State (rural and towns under 100,000) has beaten back the blue tide for the most part, but the 'East Side' remains liberal.
