Think Rauner Would Do This At The State Fair Parade? NOT!

[GTX63]

70% of the RHINOs in this state would have a puckered sphincter as the local media shoved a camera in their face for a comment on such "radical extremism". This Kansas candidate for Governor just loves saying "Boo!" to the snowflakes.

Maybe in the streets of Chicago, but instead of a replica, needs a real one.

Think Kobach would do that in Illinois and have any chance at winning in Illinois? Kansas /= Illinois as far as political landscape.

Kobach is super conservative. Hardcore conservative on illegal immigration.

 

He was being considered for Secretary of the DHS during the Trump transition.

Meanwhile the city of Shawnee apologized for letting him express his 2a and 1a rights.

 

How DARE people exercise their HUMAN rights?

 

Totalitarians in office there.

From the article:

 

Lewis also told the Kansas City Star that his concern wasn’t about Kobach’s support for gun rights, but rather about the potential upset he caused to young children who came to watch the parade.

“My greatest concern today was not Kris Kobach’s political position… It was that in a world where our children… live with anxiety about school shootings and do intruder drills regularly that any politician thought it was OK to drive through a crowd of children with an automatic weapon pointed at the crowd,” the pastor said.

Nonsense.

When I and my friends were 6 years old, we would have said, “Wow, cool!”.

I bet a lot of the kids in the crowd had the same reaction.

I wonder how all these snowflakes would react if the saw lefty Michael Dukakis with the tank in 1988?

I bet that they get cold-sweats if the see that picture now.

I remember that. I was actually an M-1 tanker at the time. While I was not a big fan of Mike Dukakis, I'll say in his favor that there is no graceful and macho way to wear a CVC. And yes, you do need to wear a CVC whenever the tank is in motion. First, hearing protection: he would have been sitting maybe 3 feet away from a 1500 horsepower turbine engine. With it being enclosed, it's reasonably quiet at idle, but it gets noisy when your hauling along. Second, he needed to be able to hear the General Dynamics folks tell him what to do. He wasn't trained as a tanker, and didn't necessarily know how to stand or what to grab to keep from getting hurt. Third, it's a truism that all armored vehicles are designed and built by sadistic sons-of-pumpernickels who hate the people that will be riding in their vehicles with the fury of a million Suns. Every edge and point in a tank is finely milled to ensure that you at least get a nasty bruise when you step into it standing still. If you aren't hanging on and braced, broken bones are not that uncommon going cross country.

 

And yep, as I am now in Kansas, I can say that someone this weekend went a LONG way towards securing my vote.
