Kentucky Guv Matt Bevin (R) says blooshed may be needed to protect Conservatism. See details below. Do you agree with him? Why?

The Guv gave a 15-minute speech at the Values Voter Summit. He quoted Thomas Jefferson who said "The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants".  Who is the tyrant here and who is the patriot?

    Hello Rosie:

    I heard his remark last night.  I was more appalled, however, at the Democratic response..  I expect IDIOCY from right wingers.  After all, they thought a military exercise was an ATTACK on Texas.  I do NOT expect IDIOCY from smart Democrats..  But, in response to this war monger, the Lilly livered lib said that our differences should be talked about.. 

    So, you've got right wingers pulling their hair out slavering for a shooting war with libs, and that guy wants to kibitz a while.   Well, let me be CLEAR.  If right wingers wanna start a war, THIS lib will be on the front lines.  You'll recognize me..  I'm the one with the biggest gun..

    What???  You think right wingers are the only ones who know how to fight???

    No. They are just the only ones who brag/obsess about it.  I'd like to tell you that I would be right by your side excon but the truth is guns scare the crap outta me. I don't know if I told you this but I held a revolver in my hands just once. I was 10 years old. My dad used to work nights. I was always mature for my age so my dad took a gun from someplace...I never even knew we had one. He told me he wanted to show me  how to use it just in case. I told him I didn't want to learn but he said he needed me to be a grownup. He put the gun in my hand and I started shaking and then crying and I couldn't stop. That was 68 years ago and I still remember how terrified I was. My dad immediately removed the gun from my hand and  I have no idea where he put it but we never discussed it again.  A gun in my hands would be very dangerous. Gun-wise I am still that 10 year old little girl who doesn't want anything to do with them or be anywhere near them or anyone who has one. But I would be by your  side in spirit. Thank you for your reply excon. I don't know which Dem you are talking about. I guess I didn't see/hear the entire clip . :)

    Hello again, Rosie:

    That's fine.. Some of us are cut out to be warriors..  We do that just so you can stay home and live your life..  I was born in the west..  My hero was John Wayne.  In his cowboy movies, he carried a Winchester lever action model 73 - the gun that won the west..  I cut my teeth on that gun.

    I was an NRA member too.  All they did back then was teach safety and sell targets..  What's not to like?

  • Most of the "2nd amendment people", as Donald likes to call them, froth at mouth thinking about getting to use their guns to fight off Obama's FEMA army or to shoot brown people at the border. 

    They have the guns and long for a reason to use them.
