If it's about ludicrous uses of guns and other weapons, the GOP is always behind it. Damn justice and damn liberty; the Republicans want Right by Might, and nothing else.

King George would be proud.

I wonder how much DeMint supports the coup now that they've started stripping Hondurans of essential Rights and Liberties, like the Right to Protest?

Oh, he loves it. Loved under King George, why would he hate it now, unless he is the target.
