Hold on to your guns, boys, he's coming!

The far rightists are at it again; this time it's carping about President Obama's (non-existent) "gun grabbing agenda." during his trip to Oregon in the wake of the recent horrific college campus shooting.  

Who the hell are these morons? I'll tell you who.  They are ordinary persons just as misguided and partisan as  the person, related to me distantly, who immediately following the 2008 election went out and bought a second assault rifle because "He'll take our guns!" How's that working out bunky? Still got 'em? I thought so. 

What is troubling is that people like this apparently have no capacity for learning from their mistakes and conceding their errors in judgment. When have we heard one single Republican talking head admit that The Affordable Care Act works? They just keep on riding the hate train. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, yet there they are. If President Obama thinks it's a good idea, oppose it because, he's well, you know, he's "tall."  

Any individual who claims that the President, any President can, of and by himself, do anything of the sort should lose their right to vote because they are ignorant of how the legislative process works! On a second level, consider that the far right has, in the past, criticized the president for NOT doing what he's doing in Oregon, i.e. showing concern and sympathy for those who have lost family members to violence, in person. It is a national disgrace that racism still plays such a huge role in the Far Right's relationship with a President who is brighter than Bush 41 and 43 combined, but happens to have a bit more melanin in his skin.   

And then we get the  (pick one) senseless, brainless, mindless, idiotic, imbecile, insane, lunatic, asinine, ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd, preposterous, silly, inane, witless, half-baked, empty-headed, unintelligent, slow-witted, weak-minded natterings of Ben Carson re: "If the Jews in Germany had guns there might not have been a holocaust."  

I'd love to find the flaming arsehole who suggested that Carson might be a good candidate for any office higher than Water Commissioner and throw him in a cell with Kim Davis, who Carson most closely resembles in doctrine and intellect.
