Yeah. Mr. Johnny Wilkes Booth Come Lately is totally in favor of people getting rid of a government leader they don't like... until they carry out the task it by going to the polls and electing one that <i>he</i> doesn't like. Johnny can go off to some deserted island and set up his very own Kingdom of One for all I care, but I am not about to let him or any other whack job go off with a gun and unilaterally decide who <i>my</i> President is going to be.

That's the trouble with these narcissistic wankers -- they think that they live in a society all their own in a country where they are the only inhabitant. They think that the government exists for them alone and that if they don't want to have it then nobody else will have it either. They reduce all decision making to the level of a three year old.

I keep wondering the same thing. How does Bubba here think his guns are going to help when polio and tuberculosis make a come-back, when ebola comes knocking on the door of his double-wide, when his toilet won't flush, or when the ground beef at the Piggly Wiggly is crawling with maggots?

Unfortunately it's starting to look like every high school in 'Murka had/has at least one of these guys. And even more unfortunately they've figured out how to vote, while the rest of the class stays home. It is terrifying.

That is, if they don't try to put their theory into practice before leaving school.

"Why is that when I post stuff about the American revolutionaries using guns to get freedom it’s all positive feedback, but when I post something about John Wilkes Booth using a gun to defend freedom everyone freaks out?"

Maybe it's because the founding fathers were fighting against the lack of representation by their government, but John Wilkes Booth was a bat-shit crazy psychopath who was pissed off about the outcome of a vote. ... I don't know, just spit-balling here.

They clearly don't benefit from no education.

Speaking of which, did that chick in Arkansas who wanted to know why the military didn't start an armed insurrection get re-elected? I'm guessing yes.

The more these "They're gonna take away our guns!!!" cretins scream about it, the more taking away their guns seems like a very good idea.

These nitwit libertardians are all for voting . . . so long as the majority votes their way. If not, out come the guns. Who knew that white American idiots had so much in common with African warlords?

Well, we keep refighting the Vietnam War in other countries. The theory is that eventually you'll win.

OK, flawed theory, but still popular.

It's true: the assassination of Lincoln led to the reversal of all the gains the Union Army had made. The South ended up winning the Waugh of Nothun Aggression in one easy step, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

It was in Missouri. And much to my surprise, no, she didn't.
