They want to inject God into every governmental office.I don't know who you met - but the gun wavers I have met are not big government types at all. Quite the contrary. Most of them are far right types - and blame all evils on big government and it's leftist supporters.
These people are a bag of contradictions, how fucked in the head do you have to be to turn out like this?
And what is the purpose of being armed anyway, do these people actually expect to have a shootout with the government and what would it accomplish?
I can say this, I've never seen the country as fucked up as it is right now, in my almost 50 years, this country has turned into a pile of shit with all the religious whack jobs, with the tool running this country into the ground and his huge audience cheering him on.
Think Norm Olson (who I have met and talked to).
Think Timothy McVeigh (also met. Scared my ass. Did not talk to him)
Not fans of the government or any branch of it.
The god bit - you got that part right. They were decidedly unhappy about my being there when they found out I am an atheist.
And as far as the CIC (cheesedick in charge) - his loyal supporters have always been fewer in numbers than he'd like people to believe. If the Dems run a viable candidate against him, he hasn't a chance.
Too bad Biden ain't that guy.
