Stop Domestic Terrorism: Time to Call Out the National Guard in Oregon

 

wipe-out-right-wing-domestic-terrrists

 

Things usually turn out badly for those who purportedly hear voices from god and then grab their guns.  Apparently, that was the impulse that led to the current standoff happening right now in a remote part of southeast Oregon.  We now have an armed insurrection on our hands triggered by a fringe group of heavily-armed militants, most with some mighty grotesque misinterpretations of the United States Constitution.

“Thoughts and Prayers” Have Become Beneath Our Contempt

Justice over bigotry shall ultimately prevail in Kentucky.
