It strikes me as toothless rage. These types are insecure, angsty cowards that hide behind guns and say outrageous things to get attention. Also, according to TPM this guy lied about his training credentials (big surprise).

For Obama to be taken seriously on "gun control" he needs to immediately disarm, defund, and disband the violent gun nuts comprised of al-Qaeda and other Mujahideen currently posing as the "Syrian rebels." These are the same violent gun nuts that were in Libya helping to depose Gaddafi before they took the road to Damascus (and not to convert). See, deep down Obama and his sociopathic sycophants are violent, tortured souls.  That is why they are so obsessed with guns and foreign intervention.

A good portion of the people i see ranting about gun control via social media are former/current military or law enforcement types.

I really wonder who exactly they think "The Government" is and by what means they would confiscate everyone's guns. It's as if these guys believe Obama has some secret legion of stormtroopers ready to be unleashed upon America. The lack of self awareness is incredible.

Maybe they are just super-aware. If you think, just two years ago, you would have rolled through this town murdering people for their guns then, well, it certainly sucks your longarm isn't an automatic and you're not even in good shape anymore.

In a world where the Constitution is unchanging, right-wing media is cheering on Vice President Mitt Romney's efforts to gently caress up the chances of Obama winning a third term, especially in the over represented slave states.

For all the ridicule this thread heaps on the hyperbolic threats and rants of paranoid old white people, don't forget that stuff like this has influenced and will continue to influence people who will actually go out and kill others. I find it kind of weird that all of you guys seem to downplay the potentially real consequences of hateful people obsessing about the guns they own.

Someone pointed out earlier that he was a serviceman who in his sole incident of actual combat broke the protocol completely and literally ran away.

He wasn't in the military. He came over as a contractor to train Iraqi's. His first firefight he went into a panic and forgot he was in a stick shift and then ran away... only to shoot up a car of what was probably civilians right after and then contributed nothing as his friends were shot up.

Or local guy, Michael Berry (he's on before Rush), was talking about purple drank but using it to describe what doctors give to old people in pain. He said they were told to put in on ice and carry it around in a cup or something. It was a really weird segment with a caller that had a father who was 85 and had about every ailment you could imagine, so it could've been a bad joke as well. Couldn't tell.

So I guess purple drank isn't just a tasty beverage concocted by the Amish to help them kill patriots?

Yeah, it's that one. Pretty much how I'd expect most rootin'-tootin' militia gun nuts to go out when pitted against a trained police force.

It is, but that's not the worry. The tragic side is that if the worst happens we'll probably see people gunning down Democrats. IE, more shootings of Mosques, malls, Democratic campaign offices and stuff like that.

The payroll tax holiday was allowed to end. So yes, everyone's taxes went up. And yes, the payroll tax is at least technically designated for social security funding.

The Dems wanted an extension of the payroll tax holiday, but they gave up on it in the course of kicking the latest can down the road a month or so. It'll probably come back up when the next fight starts.

Not really. Neither side wanted it. It was originally only meant to last a year (2011) but then got a one-year extension in 2012. The payroll tax rate is back to what it was just a couple of years ago and while it sucks, it's not something anyone should be surprised over.

I was having lunch with a friend and some people she knew last week and one of them was up in arms about Obama going back on his promise not to raise the taxes on her paycheck.

Of course then she started talking about her daughter's new boyfriend in a disapproving tone and wouldn't explain her reservations before finally just pulling out her phone and showing a picture of them together while saying 'see what I mean?' Took me a second to notice what I was supposed to be seeing before realizing, oh, it's because he's black. So, I somewhat doubt the sincerity of her economic argument.
