I guess they figure the other side would be a bunch of guys in black body armor with big white letters like "ATF" and "FBI" and "FEMA" on the back.

It would more likely be "SWAT".

An idiot racist wrapped in the flag who doesn't pay his bills and rips off the taxpayer? Yeah, no surprise that the Koch Brothers have their greedy fingers in stuff like that. They remind me of the Eddie Murphy movie Trading places - except the Duke Brothers didn't come close to the Koch suckers.

Are some of the extremes being elected. They do not have the numbers to win elections so they have joined with the GOP. For a few years they were held in check but they have over run Boehner. Along with the Dixiecrats and KKK the GOP is slipping away from the established Republicans. Now the TP has gone into overdrive and the GOP has lost total control. The best hope is for Democrats to run and get elected. We can not stop their extreme ways but we can halt crazies from being elected.
