These folks are criminally insane. 30 plus years of incessant right wing media has brought us here.

They believe fiction and fantasy, they tend to be gun fanatics.

I’ve heard Paul Gosar’s brother lament how nuts he is, saw his sister on MSNBC last night she got emotional describing how insane he is and how she and the rest of his family fear what he might do.

It’s like a plague and, only to be used as a last resort I am glad I’m only about 3 hours from Canada if things really fall apart.
