Nah.  The NRA has been taking money from the Russians.  I don't think the SS would ever stoop that low.

Are you talking about the SS that pillaged its way through Russia?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Should I be worried that my two oldest sisters are shifting away from posting Fox News articles and more towards Daily Caller and Daily Signal? :unsure:

The last set of facebook grabs you posted are pretty disturbing.  And not in a disturbing because they are so obviously wrong sort of way but in a disturbing disturbing way.

I think its a natural (d)evolution.

I can take consolation that for all the nonsense my family shares on Facebook, they have yet to reach the levels of the posts in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook/

Some of that shit is really disturbing.

Also, I now have a yardstick as to when to stage an intervention. :P

I'd love to get the source for that period diet :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dumb bitch, your kid died.  How could the outcome have possibly been worse for him?  Well, living and having you raise him would be worse, I guess.

Not from my family.
