Family Research Council President: Gun-Toting Texas, Not 'Liberal New England', Will Stop Terrorists

[big_dog]

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said on “Washington Watch” that the U.S. government is failing to protect the southern border, enabling members of ISIS or another terrorist group to enter the country and launch a dirty bomb attack.

Since federal officials refuse to act, Perkins said, America’s last defense against ISIS may be Texas gun owners who will quash the plans of terrorists coming to America, adding that he wouldn’t rely on liberal New Englanders to protect the country.

“It’s to the nation’s benefit that Texas is on our southern border and not one of the New England states because in Texas you’ll be hard-pressed to find a household that doesn’t have a gun and an owner that knows how to use it,” he said.

“Where if they were going to invade, someone was going to move into our country and do it through the New England states, we’d all be in trouble. That’s part of the Second Amendment, it may be that even the liberals will be grateful for the Second Amendment if the government doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do and keep us safe.”

1. At times I think people like him make this shit up

and they don't really believe it themselves.
I think they know their listeners are dumber than a bag of rocks and will eat that shit up. It is political theater. Holds listeners so the sponsors can sell them gold futures or snapple.

2. Where in the Bible does Jesus tell his disciples to shoot first and ask questions later?

I must have missed that part!

3. We've been using that "kill 'em all" strategy for many years now

And we don't seem to have gotten any safer. In fact, we seem to be spawning ever more, and more deadly, groups who (we are hysterically assured) are just about to conquer the United States and kill every man, woman and child in the nation.

Your strategy doesn't seem to be working for its stated purpose, Mr. Perkins.

4. Clueless. Come to New England before being ignorant.

I never get the "soft New Englanders" meme. It's just like the "cheese eating surrender monkeys" meme about the French. Maybe it's because we don't care to speculate about such juvenile bull crap?
