Lots of copies of the Turner Diaries for sale.

Lots of Confederate flag stuff.

Lots of over sized magazines for sale.

Lots of military-style weapons for sale.

Lots of slackjaws reeking of alcohol buying and carrying guns.

Lots of fundies with their obedient wives buying guns.

Lots of white folks - no African Americans or Latinos

So yeah, I learned a lot.

Do you remember the solar energy system I put on my house last year? Guess where I met the vendor. slackmaster Apr 2012 #48

I'll bet you haven't read The Turner Diaries. I have. slackmaster Apr 2012 #50

Very diverse, actually. Well done. Finally, a piece of truth from you.... PavePusher Apr 2012 #20
