Rack 'em Up

Sarah Palin calls for her supporters to "reload." Rush Limbaugh tells his listeners to get rid of the "bastards" and "take out" the liberals. Fox "News" belittles liberals, comparing them to everything from Socialists to Fascists, making them targets for people who take their words literally. Tea Party groupies attend rallies armed with guns in holsters and others strapped to their backs. Yesterday, Heidi somebody, a blonde radio talk show host in Vegas, said there were 20,000 Tea Partiers in Harry Reid's Nevada hometown last weekend with "40,000 guns" among them. Yikes, 40,000 loaded guns in such a small area.

Of course, this Heidi person exaggerated the numbers because pictures of the event show far fewer than the number of people she boasted about. Still, thousands of guns being paraded about by people looking to eliminate liberals make for a rather frightening prospect for those who admit to being liberal, aka progressive. I'm not really scared. I don't do much to bring on the wrath of anyone. However, I do find it interesting that far right conservatives think they're the only ones with guns. We're armed, too. We just don't parade around with our guns, showing everything we have. And, unlike Palin, we don't put people in our crosshairs.

A friend, who's proud to say he's a bleeding-heart liberal, gave me a gun to protect myself and my loved ones. He has numerous guns and he knows how to use all of them. Almost all of my liberal friends have guns. With right-wing militias increasing in numbers throughout the country (are there left-wing militias?), it's best to be prepared, don't you think? Time to get that piece of steel out of its hiding place, polish it, oil it and get 'er loaded.
