Interestingly, gun sales increase in direct proportion to the noise liberals create. One of the local gun dealers reported selling over 200 weapons since last Thursday, 8 August. Progressive liberals and the MSM are the best forms of advertising. Rave on! Yup. The guy understands the concept of 'marketing towards your audience." When the market is composed of racists, misogynists, raving 'caveman conservatives' and other morons, ads like this gain traction. When gun owners are frightened that the numerous shootings will result in new, more restrictive laws, gun sales skyrocket. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To do so on a billboard against four young women of color, who are also the duly elected representatives of their congressional districts, is especially reprehensible. The God I worship and advocate loves us all equally. He gave us free will so that we might have our own thoughts and ideas and then come to him for salvation. I personally know the gun shop owner who purchased the billboard. This very day I intend to explain to him why such an ad is an offense not only against four innocent young women and the very fabric of our society but is also an offense against the teachings of Jesus Christ. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure Counselor, that's the way it is. He's just an honest merchant hawking his wares with no suggestive purpose implied. Thanks for setting me straight.

billvon 3,092 #355 August 12, 2019 Deplorable Gavin McInnes, white supremacist and founder of the pro-violence group Proud Boys, is planning a march in Portland. Deplorable Joe Biggs is organizing it, and recently appeared in a video swinging a spiked baseball bat with Make America Great Again engraved in it, which he promises to "put to good use" in Portland. Can't wait to see them get in a fight, then claim "but THEY started it! We had no intention of doing anything violent at all! We were only defending ourselves."

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #361 August 13, 2019 Well, apparently attacking white supremacists is attacking Christianity. Really. Quote Christianity is white supremacy: Christian activist Sandy Rios claims that when the left criticizes white supremacy, they attack Christianity. Rios, the American Family Association’s Director of Governmental Affairs and a popular defender of extreme conservative Christian values, suggested that criticism of white supremacy is criticism of Christianity Link:https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/08/christian-activist-when-they-attack-white-supremacy-theyre-attacking-christianity/?fbclid=IwAR3Sp65w7BLt7pwReM3n8wSWA83DM4dNgEGLgPMArBO9nojwxP7_-R5TK3k I've never heard of this woman, but apparently she's a real piece of work (in the story).

Labels are hard to pin on people who are too ashamed to embrace them. Ron freely admitted to being a 'White Nationalist' a while back. Most of the people who track hate groups put 'white nationalists' and 'white supremacists' in the same category. Interestingly, it was the supremacists who originally came up with the term "white nationalist' to take the 'supremacist' out of the conversation.

So any German aware of Nazi atrocities who was ashamed of being a German during WWII was mentally ill? You might want to work on how you categorize things. Race and Gender don't really fit well with Nationality. No matter, you've stepped in it again. Apparently you would not feel blessed if you were other than a Caucasian American or else why make the distinction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a sinner saved by the grace of God through faith. I have also accepted a principle from Dr Wayne Dyer, that is, learn to be free of the good opinion of others. I was born a Caucasian American and that is a blessing. However, I was also born a Yankee and raised in the South. I paid dearly for that until I was a junior in high school. The point is that we are all born within certain environments and it is our personal responsibility to deal with it. My focus is not to make your life in Oregon better or worse. My focus is to help my neighbor. If we all simply did that these hypothetical what-if arguments would have no function. My wife and I choose to live in the mountains in a rural environment because we lived in the city most of our lives and hated it. We are no longer concerned with the goings-on in Tampa FL. We are blessed. We pray for our family still there and hope someday they will get out. However, they are city people and we are mountain people. God showed us favor and allowed us to make the change. Everyone has to learn personal responsibility. It is not the fault or job of others. By accepting Christ as Lord and Savior the task becomes one with individual purpose. The Lord will guide your steps if you let Him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
