I am just as disgusted as you are about the way the president has been treated, but just because it is the right wingers that are doing it and I may agree with them on some gun rights issues, does not mean that I am a party to their stupidity. Also, I see nothing so patriotic about claiming my rights that were fought for by civil rights leaders and appreciating the many people who risked their lives in service to the country that I may live, and those that made my road easiler and defended the freedoms that we have today like Dorie Miller for example. Can you imagine how rough it would have been for you or me without the sacrifices of black and white people before us. I would be a fool to not claim what every human being deserves especially considering the fact that many did not have the same opporitunities before me. Why should I let a few clowns turn me off from an issue that I feel strongly about? They may be just riding the banwagon of anti Obama, personally I am just staying true to my own values, no need for the bullshit.
I'm not saying don't claim your rights. Just don't get too caught up in the fervor. Especially when dumb fucks like to try to flip and roll that shit.
And no need for history lessons, please. I'm 45 years old and grew up in the South and I got all the history & then some from parents, grandparents and family associates coming up. Never mind the first hand things I witnessed locally at the time.
