Like I said; they love their traditions, culture, and heritage and aren't afraid to defend it.
"...as the GOP put up a MORMON..."
I have no problem with Mormons. The left hates them as much as they hate me. My problem with Romney is the gun issue. It's THE litmus test for me on everything. How a politician views my right to own firearms and protect my life and my family's lives trumps all. Followed by abortion. It's legalized murder, period. Romney vs Obama... at the very least, Romney didn't hate his own country. Just the way I see things.
Oh well. Different strokes.
My husband had a dozen guns and two rifles. I preferred the little SigSauer; it fit right into my hand. Great gun. I got pretty good at shooting Bin Laden in the throat with that gun. :o)
