To understand what Obama wants in our future....
....Watch the Star Wars movies and imagine that only the storm troopers have guns.

Yes, Grover Norquist really is saying that there is no difference between the United States government under Obama and the storm-troopers in Star Wars and that Americans need to arm themselves to the teeth against the day when they will need to violently overthrow their own government.
Because this seditious gibberish is now the basic default setting of the American wingnut brain.

My first comment on reading that statement, and I will not clean it up, was "Oh for Fuck Sakes" Looks like Dana Loesch is going to have a run for her money this year. I really hope that our President gives these wonderful gentlemen a really good reason to go totally off their nut this year, and ticks off lots of things on his *uckit List that make them nice and crazy. It will serve them right. Since he is probably going to close Gitmo, let's keep it for a resthome for the Nutjobs on the right, FOX News included. Being this nuts, they need to be kept away from the rest of us, in case it's contagious
Pure, lunatic hatred, utterly detached from any semblance of reality. I knew Norquist was a no-tax freak; didn't realize that he's also a gun-fetishist with fever-dream fantasies about evil black men in white storm-trooper suits coming in the night to take away his guns and freedumb.
Considering we've have SEVEN YEARS of Obama already in office, with 2 of those years with a solid Democratic Congress, and at no time did we have the First Order blowing RNC headquarters, this is just Grover Norquist fear-mongering to a receptive audience who wants to be told how heroic they are resisting the onslaught of librul aggression.
The problem with this rhetoric is that it creates a fake reality - yes, what they've been doing ever since Rove described it - that has no basis in fact and yet clouds the judgment of too many people who aren't being properly informed. Yes, the people have a responsibility to figure out the facts for themselves: but the con artists like Norquist who keep lying to us are responsible for making that harder for people to do.
Well, of course Obama is coming for our pea shooters now that he has raised taxes through the roof, declared mandatory Muslim prayers in public schools, outlawed corporate free speech, and hung baby fetuses 'round the ol' White House Kwanzaa tree. What's left for that commie nigra to do?
Yeesh.
Happy 2016 to DG, BG, and everyone.
Here's another candidate: your Mayor, Rahmses Emanuel.
I would like to have a replica of Mt. Rushmore but with the heads of Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, George W Bush, and Grover Norquist. About two feet wide, height to scale. And I would like this replica placed in dog parks throughout America. So that the dogs could piss on them. Someday.
Good morning, Mr. Glass.
If only the people of Alderaan had blasters, they could've stopped the Death Star from blowing up their planet.
Be seeing you.
And it's been this way for some time with plenty more coming down the tube.

Worst Person competition now includes a lot of gun-toting idiots hijacking a park in Oregon.
Don't forget, we also need our guns to protect the women-folk who are at home baking pies and submitting to our leadership.
Don't forget, we also need our guns to protect the white women-folk who are at home baking pies and making sure that our castle is clean and dinner will be ready.
