She knows that, if elected, she will become "the government," right?

WASHINGTON -- Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, said during an NRA event in 2012 that she would use a gun to defend herself from the government.

“I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere,” Ernst said at the NRA and Iowa Firearms Coalition Second Amendment Rally in Searsboro, Iowa. “But I do believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family -- whether it’s from an intruder, or whether it’s from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.”

3. Big, swaggering gun-bragging, ant-government loudmouths...

...are only running for office to ensure governmental authority is subjugated to corporate power. For all their bluster, they're just flunkies eager to bow and scrape.

4. Good Idea

A hand full of dipshits armed with hand weapons taking on a massive MIC (that they created) that uses unmanned drones to kill groups of unsuspecting targets (which they love provided it's thousands of miles away and aimed at people who do not have english as their first language).
Are they the new ISIS (as in; Ill-informed separatists inciting Sedition)?
