Jeebus . . . . some gun goons gather for a rally at The Alamo - and predictably - buffoonery ensues:
That leads us to rally attendee Captain Mac, who identified himself as the founder of the Tea Party Militia and a member of the Austin Rifles of the Texas Brigade. “For this, the FBI has had me under surveillance,” he said jovially.
“They noticed I was buying a lot of legally imported Russian weapons.” He pointed to the box his gun, a Ukrainian assault rifle with a rough-looking birchwood stock, arrived in. “That’s Cyrillic — ‘Wild Boar,’ it means in English. The ammo comes via UPS straight to your door.”
I had wanted to talk to Captain Mac because of his large Ted Cruz sign, visible from throughout the rally. But Cruz isn’t Captain Mac’s only cause. He pointed out an addendum to the sign, with symbols for major fascist and white supremacist organizations.
“I’m also recruiting for these organizations,” he said. “There’s the National Socialist Movement — their slogan is, ‘deport them all, let God sort them out.’” He points to the number 88, indicating the 8th letter of the alphabet (that would be the letter ‘h’ or ‘HH’). “Heil Hitler. We’re anti-fascist, of course. But he was doing pretty good until he started taking everyone’s guns and attacking his neighbors. Imagine if none of that had happened.”http://www.texasobserver.org/alamo-protesters-get-arms/#.Umc9wihp3Cw.twitter
Honestly - what kind of hallucinogens are they pumping in to the drinking water in Texas these days?
This Captain Mac clown, aside from being frighteningly clueless as to what historical fascism has been and still is (here's a tip: look in the mirror fella while mouthing your own propaganda), pretty much validates The Gadfly's, and increasingly, many other's perspective that this homegrown, far right element, of which you most certainly can include a predominant portion of the Tea Party, are much more of an imminent danger to America's form of representative democracy than a bunch of medieval-era, rifle toting goat herders cave-hopping in the nether regions of Afghanistan.
So old Adolf Hitler was "doing pretty good until he started taking everyone's guns and attacking his neighbors. Imagine if none of that had happened?" Really? So everything else Hitler and his minions did outside of that action was just fine and dandy huh? You supremely and ridiculously ignorant fuck - except for the fact that he didn't take everyone's guns - only those of his political adversaries, people of certain religious faiths, and other dissidents and critics whom he deemed insufficiently supine to his brute force. And no doubt you think that the eventual rounding up of those same "enemies" and trundling them off to the gas chambers and ovens was a "pretty good" thing too eh?
"Don't Tread On Me. . . ." - sigh . . . The Gadfly really, really does try very hard to give these hard core teabaggers some benefit of the doubt and grants them a great deal of latitude in their public statements, but when he reads anti-American, obnoxious shit like this, the first urge that comes to The Gadfly's mind is to want to furiously plant his size 10 motorcycle boots up this cracker's backside and tread all over his oafish ass.
And don't bother looking for anyone within the Tea Party leadership to openly condemn this asshole and his words. Nope. Will not happen. Why? Because this loser is an integral part of their base and even more tellingly - behind closed doors - the heavy hitters in the movement do pretty much agree with a substantial segment of his views of the world.
And for the umpteenth time - The Gadfly is not anti-gun, he's just anti-criminals and anti-stupid motherfuckers with guns.
