.....And now a word from the stark, staring insane version of grandma Ronald McDonald.
Holy crap, lady, lay off the prozac. Your eyes scream cRaZy.
I guess I gotta agree with you, Ann... *you* should NOT own a gun... under ANY circumstances.

After the slaughter of innocents at Sandy Hook last December, the nation seemed poised to enact common-sense gun controls. Poll s showed that even the majority of gun owners and NRA members were in favor of such measures as universal background checks and the banning of some military style assault weapons. Then, while most of us were still reeling with shock, the NRA went into high gear. Wayne LaPierre was all over the airways sounding like a cross between Elmer Gantry and an Old Testament prophet warning of Armageddon. His message: The government was coming to confiscate our guns and deprive us once and for all of our Second Amendment rights.
After weeks of this, and despite President Obama’s assurances that the government did not want our guns and had no intention of messing with our right to own them, public opinion slowly but inexorably began to shift. Passionate arguments for these same modest gun control measures by the president and the parents of the murdered children fell on deaf ears. Congress listened to the gun lobby once again and decisively voted down the gun reforms.
And the n came the massacre at the Navy Yard — 12 dead, eight injured — and public reaction was not only muted, it was almost nonexistent. David Gregory on “Meet the Press” felt obliged to ask LaPierre: Is this the new norm? As if LaPierre had the answer. Indeed, I think he does.
We have to ask why the gun lobby’s arguments are so potent. How do they manage to override our common sense and evoke our deepest, most primitive fears —not once but time after time?
I have a theory. I believe the NRA is deliberately channeling the voices of those individuals and groups that exist on the extreme fringes of society; groups that have never had a legitimate platform for their loathsome views and paranoid fantasies until the NRA gave them one.
I’m talking about self-described racist skinheads, felons whose hatred of society was forged in prison, white supremacists, neo-Nazis and “doomsday” cultists like David Koresh, who provoked his own apocalypse at Waco. All have in common an unshakable belief that the federal government is the enemy.
And that’s the message the NRA is relentlessly insinuating into the lizard part of our brains: Hang on to your assault weapons, your .50-caliber bullets and your 100-round ammo clips. You’re going to need them when the government comes to take first your guns, then you, away.

She looks to me like she’d make a pretty good skinhead.
In fact . . . Is that a wig?
She even looks like a gun grabbing fascist granny!
As m beloved,and desperately missed,Dad used to say about such a woman “how much does she charge to haunt a house?”
So. She’s bitterly screeching over failed attempts at Gun Control. I’m surprised she didn’t throw in the Gabby Giffords shooting for good measure.
Liberals. All they can do is keep flinging (bleep) at the walls and hope some of it sticks.
“common sense gun control” = “total gun ban”
OK, but only if you take the guns from all the criminals first....
Let me know when that is done
"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
The President's assurances ring hollow. Questions?
Don’t worry, she will willingly get on the train without so much as a whimper.
Good Lord, Laz... Don’t do that to us on the last day of the year!!
If she was any more ‘enlightened’, she’d float away all by herself.
Why, whatever would lead me to THAT belief, Annie baby?
Certainly not the fact that every single Federal Agency now sports it's own SWAT team -- even the Department of Eductation! No no!
Certainly not the revelations that the NSA is spying on every single communication of every single American citizen, similar to East Germany's Stasi! Perish the thought!
Certainly not the IRS's abuses of it's power to shut down political opposition groups currently in disfavor -- something that is STILL GOING ON EVEN AFTER BEING EXPOSED! Heavens no!
Certainly not the EPA's shutting down of nearly every business they encounter, causing us to spiral deeper and deeper into permanent and universal unemployment! That couldn't be it!
Certainly not the revelations that the DHS is buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, and 2717 armored vehicles! Saints preserve us, NEVER!
Certainly not the willful destruction of the American medical insurance system, which will result in many deaths... starting TOMORROW. No no no. We would NEVER consider the government the enemy.
No, Ann, we should TRUST the government. None of those things I mentioned are red-flags that should cause us ANY alarm.
Nope.
Not a one.
On the bright side, she still has 2 teeth left.
I am mean, aren't I!
I finally found a candidate to replace Helen Thomas. :)
I was going to get righteously indignant, angry and write a huffy reply, but then I scrolled down and saw the pix you posted.
Then just ROFL.
“Anti-government”...
Anyone who has taken even a BRIEF perusal of the last 15,000 years of human History would come to the conclusion that GOVERNMENTS really do tend to make a mess of everything and kill those who don’t play along.
So yeah... I’m no where near being any type of “skin-head”, nor even remotely paranoid, but anti-government? Damn right...
You’d be nuts not to be.
If it is, that explains the calls from Ronald McDonald. He wants it back.
Pictures do add context to the editorials, don’t they... much as Pajama Boy added context to the Obamacare push. :)
What about the slaughter of innocents at Waco?
Or at Ruby Ridge?
Or in Planned Parenthood affiliated abortion clinics every day?
Obviously that old whore worships surrender to cult ikons...
See my #11.
