I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

It really doesn't bother me that people are packing weapons to go stand and gaze a few blocks away from a building the president is speaking at. It doesn't seem they are breaking any laws but I'm sure their intention is to get a video clip of a cop or secret service personnel trying to take their guns away and then from there it's 'Obama will be doing this to you next!'

I've never really seen the point of demonstrating your toughness through guns. It's not just vigilantes in Arizona either. Thugs in rap videos flash them all the time. My last trip to Tijuana proved Mexicans love their guns just as much. But really what's the point? I have an AR-15 rifle in the closet right behind me. Why would I possibly go walking down the street with it or take with me the next time I see the president?

I suppose if I actually believed President Obama wants to form death squads to kill people he deems undesirable, and that he isn't even a legal citizen or a legitimate president, maybe I would have a different take on carrying a weapon to one of his events. And that's really what this whole thing is.

People, whether smart or not doesn't matter, have been grossly lied to by the GOP and carried about on the airwaves of Fox News that President Obama is an enemy. It's an injustice for an entire generation of Americans. There is not an excuse in the world that can gloss this over. What we've come to here in America is the Party of McCarthy and Nixon, Bush and Limbaugh, is holding an entire country hostage with their lies all because they are no longer in power.
