No, keep going. Amazon isn’t the only fire raging in your woods though.

Jim Jordan would do a line of Trump’s ejaculate if he was asked to. Hell, he may even do it by voluntary action.

Sorry. It’s hard to focus with her eyes going all rogue and shit.

It’s been this way as long as I can remember, and I grew up in the 60's. The first time I actually felt like me and people like me were part of this country, was at Jerry Garcia’s memorial when his daughter Annabel said her father was a great American, and everybody cheered. The literal first time I felt like I…

Not sure about the last 8 years, but I know I flinched when I saw a big white American truck parading up and down Main St. in Mesa, AZ on the day after the election with two big-assed US flags flying from the rear tail gate corners. Ugg: message received. :-(

You know, I am pissed as hell that the right wing has co-opted a flag that is supposed to represent everybody. They have also co-opted such buzzwords as “patriot”, “freedom,” and “liberty”, when they are about anything but these things.

“Some people are offended by the American flag.”

This is why Trump must cut NASA’s budget on earth sciences. Who needs to know these things? Ain’t no profit in knowing things.

Yes, I remember the Black Panthers (1960's vintage), and they were killed for just talking about revolution.

Thanks! Yes, I meant Cliven. Not the serial killer. I was mad and typing pretty fast.

Cliven, not Ted

We can look at the history of what happens when black people arm themselves. Look at the Black Panthers in Oakland in the 60's and 70's. Ronald Raygun, while he was governor proposed and signed gun control legislation, the Mulford Act. We don't have to speculate what the result would be if black people armed…

Thank you. If you're not white and open carry, chances are, things will end up badly for you the minute you step out into the streets. Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, Green, Purple, Infrared, I don't care. If you're not white and open carry, you will end up dead.

Yes. If you want to know whether we think of Blacks as Americans in the same was that we think of whites as American all you have to do is a simple thought experiment: Picture a man with a concealed weapon. Now picture him being white. Why does he have a concealed weapon? Because he's a gun-loving flag-waving…

And the media is complicit in this also. All the people who showed up at Ted Bundy's ranch with guns blazing were called "supporters" and the protestors in Ferguson were referred to as an "angry mob" on Saturday, 24 whole hours before any kind of looting started. Sometimes it all just seems so hopeless, and feels like…

Excellent piece Greg...wow.
