[#GunControl] The Gun-Grabbing, Government-Expanding Republican Blues

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Why do you people keep trusting your political parties to do what they claim they stand for?

Democrats and Republicans before the switch in the 80's

I have always said that “If anyone takes our guns away, it will be the Republicans”.

Obama had eight years to do it, and never did. Why?

Because you were expecting it.

Waiting for Obama to take my guns
Obama never took your guns, because you were expecting it. But you weren’t expecting to be detained indefinitely, did you?

Everyone was ready to raise hell at the first sign of it happening. But they know when a Republican does this (or Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants, or add more government agencies, etc), Republicans will just quietly whimper and accept it. Instead of getting mad as hell and threaten to not support those candidates next election.

“I am not happy that they took away bump stocks, but at least they didn’t touch silencers”

“I am not happy that they took away silencers, but at least they didn’t start endorsing Red Flag Laws“…

“I am not happy about Red Flag Laws , but AT LEAST THEY DIDN’T SHOVE THAT 14-INCH DONALD TRUMP-SHAPED DILDO COMPLETELY UP MY ASS AND, THANKFULLY, STOPPED JUST SHORT OF THE PART WITH THE SPIKES“…

Listen America, you need to start getting mad about your rights being slowly stripped away. While you were so busy worrying about Barack Obama announcing on TV that you had to “hand in all your guns… or else,” he was busy continuing the work of George W. Bush’s Government-expanding extravaganza by stripping even more of your Fourth Amendment rights, with even MORE spying, Civil Asset Forfeiture, detaining citizens indefinitely (NDAA), and drone-bombing the living shit out of innocent people in the middle east… all in the name of “Keeping America Safe”.

You had already signed off on this when Dubya was starting this breakdown on your privacy, because “MUH 9/11!” “MUH PATRIOTISM”.

You don’t seem to understand there is ONE government, with two parties that know how their supporters work.

Like a Snake Oil Company with two salesmen with two completely different sales pitches…
One of them will make the sale.
But the Company will keep on doing whatever it wants.

They know the Democrats take an 8-year nap when their guy is in the White House.
They know Republicans will NEVER vote for the other side…

… because Republicans believe Democrats will take their guns away, and make the government even bigger…?

Morons.

Americans Share Their Brave 9/11 Stories How They Watched Television All Day

Posted on by Eric Brooks

SoApBoX Citizens all over America will recall their ‘Where were you when September 11th Attacks Happened?’ moments on social media today… usually starting with someone telling them ‘Hey, Quick, turn on the tv!!!’

While this is clearly the ‘Where Were You When Kennedy Was Shot?’ for GenX’ers and GenY’ers, surely they can’t possibly think it’s merciful to subject their friends to paragraphs of mundane details about their lives surrounding this event, is it?

Look, we get it. You want to infuse yourselves into the story like Jack and Rose in ‘Titanic’, but that was fictional.

Also, they did exciting stuff while all this was going down.

Also, they got laid.

Jack and Rose talk about their future as Jack slowly dies of hypothermia. C’est l’amour!

Most of the really great stories will probably never be told. For the people who lost family, were first responders, or witnesses to the people jumping to their deaths or being covered in a cloud of asbestos, sheetrock, and pulverized human remains… It was too much. They don’t want to talk about it. They still don’t.

So that left the people online seeking attention, and who later, worried that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein would crash a plane into their midwestern county fair next.

Fast-Forward, to 2031: These overly-narcissistic senior citizen ex-bloggers regale the story of their glory days to their grand children in the Sunnydale Nursing Home…

“So there I was on this beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, when my mother called and said ‘QUICK TURN ON THE TV!’, and there it was…”

“Incredible, grandma! So what happened next?”

“Nothing, I just watched it on tv. It was the only thing running day and night.”

“Yes, but what did you do afterwards, did you join the army to fight them like great-great grandpa did in World War 2?”

Grandma explains her 9/11 tale to unimpressed granddaughter
“OMG GRANDMA! WHY DO I EVEN PAY FOR YOUR OXYGEN TANK??!?”

“No. I told you, I watched this horror on tv. My world was changed forever. I made Facebook posts about it.”

“Did you go to NYC and help as a first responder?”

“NO! I WAS HORRIFIED BY WATCHING IT ON TV, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME???”

“Please tell me you at least donated blood!”

*BLANK STARE*

“UGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!”
