3. Typical Second Amendment

absolutist mentality, and I'm sure that the majority of responsible American gun owners see this in-your-face gun nut tactic for what it is: absolutely disgusting and thoughtless.

4. No sense of propriety

These people have no sense of anything, shame, propriety, perspective, history and last but not least, humor!!! They are completely filled and consumed with hatred for everything they view as the 'other'.

5. TRUE COLORS

I like the fact that they are total blow-em-up worshipers of ballistics and death. Truth in advertising. Not that I'm at all interested, and I hope this repels the vast majority of the local scene, state scene as well as the national scene.

6. They got shot down!

A Greek Orthodox church in Portland on Friday yanked permission for the Multnomah County Republican Party to hold a Lincoln Day fundraising dinner tied to a controversial gun raffle.

The Multnomah County GOP received national attention earlier this week when it announced it would raffle off an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in honor of "two great Republicans" -- Abraham Lincoln and civil rights leader Martin Luther King -- both of whom had been killed by gun-wielding assassins.
