The Most Frightening Facebook Graphic Ever?



I saw this posted on Facebook tonight and nearly threw up. What I WANTED to post immediately under it was something to the effect of, "Have there ever been two items MORE responsible for MORE deaths in the history of the world?" And when you combine the two.............

And you should see some of the comments people have left under this graphic. Frightening.

It's funny, saw this earlier today, and my response to my Republican friend was: "Ah yes, the 2 things which have caused the most death in the world. Yes, EVERYONE should know how to use these weapons. Sure, why not..."

7. This is classic reactionary thinking - they define themselves in opposition to perceived enemies.

Are all these people *really* gun lovers? Are these people *really* all that religious? Or do they "like" posts like these just because they think these are two things dirty, atheistic, drug-addicted liberals hate?

A majority of so-called conservatives today aren't really conservative at all... they just have a warped view of liberals as definied by brainwashers like Rush, Fox News et al., and so they define themselves by supporting anything and everything they think liberals will hate.

I know some rabid right wingers that never go to church. Nor do they own guns.

Yet they see God and Guns as the ultimate symbol of being a patriotic American.
