It must’ve been easier for Nice Young Up-and-Coming Lads like Marco back in the day, when a politician’s religious obeisances required nothing more physically hazardous than to be seen dragging one’s family to the “right” church every Sunday (or at least every Sunday when the press was liable to be paying attention). Rubio certainly can’t hope to out-butch Cruz (who acts the gun fetishist with psychotic brio) or Trump (who has the best people, yooooge guys — you should see them, everybody respects his guys — to wave guns around for him). But he can’t not buy an ammosexual icon, either, because every Repub politician needs a mighty weapon, these days…

Well, Marco, let’s game this out. Either you will shortly be the President or (much more likely) you shortly will be a schlub nobody cares about. In situation a, you will have the benefit of sleeping in a highly fortified mansion protected by heavily armed professional security folks, and your little popgun will be of zero marginal value for the remote chance that ISIS comes hunting for you. In case b, which I will remind you is the vastly more likely case, ISIS will have absolutely no reason to give a shit about you and they won’t come hunting for you. So again, popgun has no particular anti-ISIS use.

Children’s Book Showing Slaves Happily Baking a Cake is Just Another Attempt to Rewrite America’s Shameful History
A Birthday Cake for George Washington makes it seem as though an enslaved father and daughter were perfectly fine with being oppressed.
BY: DEMETRIA LUCAS D’OYLEY
Posted: Jan. 17 2016 4:49 AM
I learned about Scholastic’s new children’s book, A Birthday Cake for George Washington, when a friend emailed me on Friday to ask, “Uh … have you seen this [expletive]?” Her note was accompanied by the book’s back cover, which depicted an illustration of a smiling enslaved man and child, accompanied by their beaming master—America’s first president, George Washington. Washington had his arm around the enslaved man’s shoulder like they were bros instead of oppressor and oppressed.
My knee-jerk reaction was a string of expletives as I tried to process this level of disrespect. Can you imagine a modern-day American publisher pushing a book about a cheery Jewish father and daughter on a trivial mission to bake a cake for the birthday of, say, an SS guard at Auschwitz? Can you picture a children’s book depicting a Jewish dad and child at a concentration camp snuggled up and cozy with Hitler?
Never! So why is it somehow OK to show enslaved black folks practically cuddling with their oppressors?

The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter
And it’s not gender, age, income, race or religion.
By Matthew MacWilliams
1/17/2016
If I asked you what most defines Donald Trump supporters, what would you say? They’re white? They’re poor? They’re uneducated?
You’d be wrong.
In fact, I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism.

But that was then. My kid had to spend done time in junior high in an language arts classroom that used a really, really crappy online curriculum peddled by Scholastic, and I took another look at them. They were revolting in many ways, for one they are on the high-stakes testing bandwagon in a big way.

Oregon Militia Spokesman Says Foster Children Were Removed From His Home
Brendan O’Connor
Today 11:56am
Filed to: OREGON
Oregon militia spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum told OPB that the four foster children who had been living with him and his wife on their Chino Valley, Arizona, ranch have been taken away. “I hope people are seeing the sacrifices we’re making here,” he said.
………………………………………..
That represents an enormous loss of income for the Finicums. According to a 2010 tax filing, Catholic Charities paid the family $115,343 to foster children in 2009. That year, foster parents were compensated between $22.31 and $37.49 per child, per day, meaning if the Finicums were paid at the maximum rate, they cared for, on average, eight children per day in 2009.
“That was my main source of income,” Finicum said. “My ranch, well, the cows just cover the costs of the ranch. If this means rice and beans for the next few years, so be it. We’re going to stay the course.”

@Patricia Kayden:
Well, there’s also indoctrination — part of the “Quiverful” philosophy is that collecting foster / adoptive children helps the True Believer “guide young souls to Godliness”. Like the Arkansaw state rep who got in trouble for ‘re-homing’ two little girls (whom he should never have permitted to adopt in the first place) with a convicted sex offender.
Not that ‘redirecting’ money from the wicked, sinful gubmint isn’t a nice perk! In fact, there seems to be a push, by some of the nastier Quiverful groups, to explicitly seek out “hard to place” children (those with special needs, older children, sibling groups) because social workers are always desperate to find a bed for such kids. Therefore, ‘official snoops’ aren’t so liable to question bruises, minor neglect, or other warning signs of abuse or neglect. And besides, it’s a nice way for a Quiverful wife to ‘supplement’ (or, as in Finicum’s case, provide) the family’s income without stepping outside her ‘natural sphere in the household’… especially if the wife’s been homeschooled in a Christianist curriculum, and barely capable of getting even a minimum-wage job in the cruel secular world.
Ruckus
@Patricia Kayden:
That’s why I said maybe. I don’t know where catholic charities gets their money but I’d suspect that some of it comes from owning hospitals that refuse to do certain medical procedures for women and still get federal grants for operating hospitals. So yeah asshole most likely gets money that we worked hard for to keep his “ranch” going and the price he pays is having to house 4 kids. As most fostering agencies have a hard time finding enough beds, I’d also bet there is a lot more going on here than numbnuts is letting on by being more upset about losing the money than the kids.

Adam L Silverman
@bystander: No, but its most likely what would happen. Just to be proficient for target shooting one has to practice regularly. For self defense purposes this is even more critical because one has to be able to get to the gun, get the gun, identify one or more targets while eliminating one’s family (including pets) as targets, and then firing. And this is even more complicated if Senator Rubio is being responsible and keeping his firearm properly secured when not in use – as in being packed, unloaded and safed for the range separate from the ammunition or being cleaned – as he has children. So this means either a safe or a lock. Opening either in the dark while stressed is difficult. And then there’s getting the gun from safe (condition green) to armed (condition red). If he’s got one with a safety, and the safety has engaged, has he practiced enough under stress to disengage the safety or is he pulling the trigger and nothing is happening? If he doesn’t have a manual safety, how many rounds did he just rack/chamber through the action? If its a revolver – most of this doesn’t apply. Has his wife and any children old enough to begin learning the safety rules and who would be reliable in a self defense situation also gone through all this.
I’m not arguing against or saying that no one should have a firearm for self defense, but buying one, securing it at home, and taking it to the range and shooting targets safely is not the same thing as having to use it under stress conditions. Especially if one has just been awakened and is pumped full of adrenaline. It takes a lot of work to not just be proficient in following the four rules of safe handling/gun use, but also to be accurate under non-stress conditions. While there are always accurate reports of untrained people defending themselves with guns in emergencies, trying to use one under stress conditions when one has not trained under stress conditions increases the chances of something going very, very wrong.

@Ruckus: @Patricia Kayden: @Anne Laurie: @Ruckus: Its all tax payer money. Catholic Charities, like Jewish Social Services, and a host of other religious and non-religious social service providers contract with the states in which they’re located. These not for profits assist the administration of social services and do so using money passed to them via their contracts with the states. A large chunk of it is aid from the Federal government to the states. Some is state based. They do take charitable donations themselves, but that’s no where near the bulk of their funding.
And this is the same gimmick Michelle Bachmann was involved in, and as far as I know, is still involved in in Minnesota. She worked as a government lawyer, got paid a lot for providing homes for foster kids, was a state and then Federal representative, and believes that government funding for anything is socialism.

It’ll just become part of the conspiracy about stolen elections and dictatorial control.
