I was with a friend a few months back. He was looking to get a hunting permit early. We couldn’t help but stop and laugh at the anti-Democrat propaganda that always appears in these doorways. He was laughing for other reasons than I.

Now I love good propaganda from any government, creed or religion, so I am not offended in the slightest. Still it seems to me that ever since my early years visiting the Army Surplus store in Farmington, our gun stores only support killing half our presidents. Propaganda aside we must be fair, how does this look to the outside?

When Ronny was president, and sold arms to Iran through Israel to destabilize Latin America.

It was technically the only act of high treason committed by a sitting president since our founding. I didn’t see any of these signs saying he should be ousted, indeed he was called a hero. Oliver North did not negotiate with those countries. When boy George, began the Patriot Act, which nearly every major court in the U.S. said is unlawful, even the man who wrote it agrees. Where were the signs proclaiming traitor? Is it true our most patriotic people are really angry at half the nation? Or just part-time patriots?
