Punching Back

Hillary Clinton called many of us "irredeemable deplorables" and, I'm sure, a lot worse in private. Now the right, taking a hint from Trump, is punching back. The Mostly Cajun blog has reprinted a series of epithets for the gun grabbers ... some coming close but, in general, a little harsh ... see: Mostly Cajun Quotes. (My favorite is "inbred college professors.") If you qualify as someone who wants to repeal the Second Amendment, like Justice Stevens, David Hogg and CNN, peruse these slurs to see how Middle America views you. They also don't quite match the invective spewed last weekend by For Our Lives "student" marchers toward the NRA but they come close. Take your pick and enjoy! Turn around is fair play.
