Rush Limbaugh often demonstrates absurdity by being totally absurd.  He also has an uncanny knack for being a political seer.  His crystal ball is mysteriously accurate.

Rush created Club Gitmo.  I confess could not resist buying a few orange Gitmo T-shirts and wearing them at a hotel NEA meeting and PO-ing a few liberal educators.  I arrived at the hotel a day early for the national Gun Rights Policy Conference, so I was able to get in a double-whammy of irritating liberals, but let me get back to my story.

Mr. John Pierce, the Minneapolis Gun Rights Examiner and also a member of the Open Carry group posted an article entitled “The first thing you do is drag him inside”.  I smiled as I read and it planted a seed for one of my now-infamous comments, just hair-breadths away from a rant.  I do not rant.  I am just opinionated based entirely on spiritual, scientific and fully-documented knowledge about guns and God.
