it was pretty funny at work last night to hear from my super conservative buddies that "some liberal Obama Justice is now trying to pass an amendment to take away our guns". Then i had to inform them that Stevens is a retired justice that was a Navy WWII vet and then a conservative federal judge appointed by a Republican President, approved unanimously, and then a conservative Justice appointed by a Republican President, approved unanimously.
your personal story very likely false and calling Stevens a "conservative Justice" just because he was nominated by a GOP POTUS is most definitely false.
 
bwahaha, I was just waiting to see which rightie would beat their chest over a 42% approval rating, coming after a 'historic' tax cut goes into effect. It's also funny to see you quoting CNN which is supposedly fake news, unless it is something you agree with. [roll]:flush:

Your approval rating for being politically stupid is 100%. With stupidity that high you'll be guaranteed a second term.
 
The fact that you think the average American is somehow more just and smarter than your average German during the rise of the Third Reich says something about you. And your naivete.

It's not naivete at all and has nothing to do with being just or smarts. It's honor and bravery. The average American is what makes up the majority of our military. They're not super soldiers. And Americans aren't cowards like Germans. There's no comparison. We died to save them. You're naive to believe that we wouldn't do the same to save ourselves. Maybe you just have no pride or courage.

Americans will bravely and gladly die for America. That's one sentence that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. We know the importance of freedom and liberty. It will be protected at all cost. How do you think we got here? Average people fighting and dying for the idea of America is why we are all Americans to begin with.

Dionysus would throw his family to invaders to save himself. Then bend over and begged to be raped just to sip oxygen for one more day.

Narcissism doesn't work if it's dead...
 
And I suppose Trump is Hitler right? You do realize who was in charge when Waco went down don't you? You may have good intentions. But you're looking in the completely wrong direction with regard to the threat of tyranny and suppression of citizens rights.
Both extremes of the political spectrum can lead to tyranny. Some current examples being China, Russia, and the most egregious Turkey on the right, and Venezuela on the left. That's why we need constant, open discussions about these issues, not insults and silencing dissenting opinions. From both sides.

-did you just say that China was on the right? Any faint chance you had of anyone taking you seriously is dead...Jesus dude, read a book or something.
 
you forget the well regulated part. so as long as the government allows you to have a BB gun your right to bear arms isn't infringed. not infringed doesn't mean as much as you want and anything you want. It just means you have to have access to at least some kind of "arms". The amendment should have been more specific on the militias and on how far they wanted "shall not be infringed" to go. did they want the populace to have cannons or just muskets? did they want the militias to be what has now turned into the national guard? that would give our current society a better framework to work with.
You are ridiculously stupid. What else can be said? "Shall not be infringed" couldn't be any more plain and simple. What YOU fail to realize is that the word "regulated" didn't mean bureaucratic regulation. Have you ever heard of a weapon called a Regulator? Have you heard of a group of people being referred to as "Regulators"? You are trying to apply your ill-conceived connotations to a word that had different meaning at the time the constitution was written. Words may have evolved over the years but the ideology behind the amendment has not. Each citizen of this country has the inalienable right to keep and bear arms.

BB guns are not arms. As long as someone has the ability to attack my home with an AR 15, then I have a right to defend my home with the same firepower. End of story.

This isn't Maoist China anymore the world's changed. This is Xi Jinping's China. Stay abreast of current events before you criticize others.
-also, Russia is only slightly removed from its history of commie atrocity...surpassed only by...yep you guessed it, communist china.
See above comment about China and replace Xi Jinping with Vladimir Putin.

Both are leaders without term limits.

No one takes you loonies seriously. Just go to Starbucks and suck your double creamy lattes with 4 other liberal hipster nerds and talk about how awesomely smart you guys are

Let me guess. You think socialism is a great idea. America will do it the right way. Am I close?
 
Ah. You are correct. Apologies for the mistake. So do you agree then that liberals have gone too far to the left?
Absolutely on some things. PC culture being the most egregious to me. Jordan Peterson is totally a nice dude. I don't agree with him on everything of course, but calling him a nazi and trying to shut down his talks is ludicrous. Mostly he just preaches personal responsibility. Also there are lots of Islamic apologists on the left currently. Beheading people because you think an invisible man in the sky likes you better than them isn't good for any of us and we should be able to talk about those negatives without being labeled Islamophobic. It's an overreaction to the Christians on the right who really are Islamophobes and want all of them dead. Can't give someone a free pass though just because they're a minority, that's like the people saying only whites can be racist because they have the power. Anyone can be racist aka tribal. The right goes too far right on plenty of things too though, like denying climate change and bloated military spending to name a couple.

That's sensible. Again I apologize for getting you mixed up with another poster. I'm a long time lurker who's just recently started posting often. The excitement of it all got the best of me. :)

Hey man, remember when we were happy that the leftists had left the thread after The Donald was elected in a landslide? We were wrong. We had a much higher class of dumbass here before the election. This crop is rotting in the soil.

As a Christian on the right I don't want any Muslim dead except maybe those terrorist Muslims who want to kill or harm anyone else who will not submit to Islam. I just want them confined to Islamic countries where they can do whatever they wish to each other in the name of their insane Sharia law. Most (not all) cannot live in toleration of other religions or cultures and need to be kept in isolation from the rest of the world.

See my above post. No one has ever said you can buy a nuke. They were brought up to illustrate a point about where we draw the line of "bearing arms".


YeH yeah yeah - not necessarily YOU
but I’ve heard that same bizarre “argument “ rolled out twice in other places before coming here today
