Angry people do stupid things. Right wingers are more likely to have a firearm with them to help in the stupidity. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I actually have a hard time finding radicalism on the left. Are there radical policy proposals coming from the left that I don't know about? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You can not imagine the wrongness of that statement. Left wingers are people. All people are capable of violence. Just because most of the political violence in the last two decades or so has come from the right does not mean the left is innocent. But almost all terrorism comes from the right these days. Even the foreign terrorist from that other religion are right wing fundamentalists. There is something about right wing thinking that leads some people to decide that the ends justify any means. There has been times in the past when socialist ideology took some people there. But not for a long time. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

The most hopeful thing I saw in the results was a swing away from the right, probably because of objections to Trumpism, in the suburban areas around the cities. The left/right split between the rural areas and the inner cities did not budge. But some of the middle class, especially women, seem to have had enough. Gerrymandering involves spreading your dependable support around so that you have just enough in each district. It can backfire on you if you drive that support away from you and you find yourself coming up a little short. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

I would agree that this should not happen. One of the reasons shit like this goes on is the use of bullshit hyperbole by leaders and opinion makers. Stuff like calling protesters "terrorists". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Did he bleed much? Is his family in mourning? Do you have a clue what the word terrorist means? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Are Mormons Christian? They claim to be, but many more traditional churches say they are not. If I call Christian is that enough for you to accept me as Christian, even if my beliefs differ from you in ways that you would consider me to be unsaved?

They didn't lose them by that much. Yes, it was surprising, but it was not a huge shift. Is it a long term thing? I don't know. We will have a better idea this evening. My point is that even in those mid-west states Trumpism, or the tendency toward looking inward and retrenching is far from universal.

More than that, Christians have gone after each other. Ostensibly for having slightly different theologies. But almost always over control of resources. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Lucky for you when the bullets start flying in the streets one side will be better armed than the other. I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow but whatever it is will likely signal the end of civilization as we know it. If I were you Ron I'd head up into the hills a little higher. Maybe just lay low in that private secret property for a week or so. I've also been monitoring the secret back channels, and it looks bad. Just in case we lose our connections to the rest of the world, it's been nice talking to you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Q is real. Just like pizzagate, birtherism and of course the Bible. I'm sure you believe in each equally. As you should Ron. Go check your ammo supply now. S is going HTF any time now. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

What do you mean? If no one trusts them how the hell did Clinton manage to get 3 million votes more than Trump. Your country is nearly evenly divided. There is tons of support for liberal ideas. Progress is marching on. You can impede it for a while, but history is clearly moving in a direction of more rights for more people. And that is the central message of liberalism.

I know right? Doesn't that just make you mad!!!! Now if billvon didn't come in here and post that, you would've just went about you day and it would've made a fuck all difference in your life. But hey, at least you got your daily fix of anger! Feel better now? Because if people don't know about the dangers they can't watch for and fight against it. We need to know they are out there trying to poison the minds of our children. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The US economy added better-than-expected 250,000 jobs in October

Awesome! Let's find some ways to argue about it since life is so good and have nothing better to do. . . Truth there. America is so rich successful and spoiled that it's citizens need to have these fights because they need the stimulation.

Humans are very adaptable. Clearly they do not have an absolute attachment to any one set of myths and fables. They can and do regularly adapt and change, even while claiming to honour past belief. Arguing over the goodness or evilness of someone's god is pointless. All that matters is the good or evil that you do yourself. Joseph Smith managed to start a very successful belief system, in the USA, from scratch not that long ago. Great evil was done trying to suppress it but it could not be stopped. However, many of it's excesses were modified because EVERY religion will change it's habits and beliefs to fit into the real world. God is whatever Mankind chooses for Her to be. All scripture is subject to change. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

So it's easier to become a citizen here than in Norway. That is true. Norway is not among the 30 or so nations that grant birthright citizenship. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Despite the frequent calls from many, often right wing zenophobes, there is no official language in the USA. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Thanks for the drama Chris. We all should worry a lot here about off reservation plumbing inspectors in CA. But skydivers not sticking together? Nah.....we are as one! Have you been to a DZ lately?

But Wendy, are they the correct sort of Christians? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

This is just like so many of the people you quote. Referring to a "mongrel nation" is not even a dog whistle. It's plain out and out fear mongering racism. But you will either claim it isn't, or that you didn't realize. Words fail me. This is disgusting. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The claims made by the leaders of the right and the media circus that support them are by far the broadest of broad stroke painters in your nation. Liberals do not focus on the fringe players, but we are aware of them, which is the message of the song. This is the topic of this thread, so please excuse me for referring to the danger. There is no left wing equivalent of Alex Jones and his way of turning evil events into fame and profit for himself. The modern R party does contain a lot of relatively moderate people. But at the moment it is largely controlled by those who desire to move closer to the extreme. In my view the D party is much closer to the centre. The most far left wing position current being fought for by the progressive movement is for some form of universal healthcare. In the world outside of US this is considered a baseline benefit of living in an advanced society. The right wing, aided by those who stand to lose money and power within the shitty healthcare system is fighting this tooth and nail. All this gnashing of teeth of the "invasion" is nothing but a side show designed to stir emotions and divert from the real issues that matter. With the Rs pandering to the fears of the whites and evangelicals, therefore alienating large numbers of everyone else it is no wonder that those others have moved to the Ds. Where else can they go? It's a two party system. Steve Bannon types love this. They call it "identity politics". And they feel they can win based on the current demographics.

Having not read that novel I had to do a little research to find out why you said that. I also found this tidbit. Sounds about right. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

This is just the kind of thing I was talking about. Where's Joe with that Tom Cochrane song? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It's also what Israel does. Throwing rocks at armed soldiers is a pretty risky thing to do. However, despite Trump's puffery I believe that the US military is far more disciplined than to open fire on rock throwers. Unless bullets start coming out of the protesters. Kent State was a bunch of amateur reservists. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The fight over representation and the counting of numbers continues today. Seats are allocated according to the number of people, be they citizens or not. This is the reason for the current battle over a citizenship question on the 2020 census. It's not enough for the Republican party to discourage citizens from voting. They also want to discourage non citizens from being counted as people. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
