I mean if they really wanted to curb gun deaths, you would think they would start off with handguns. Over 60% of gun deaths come from handguns, only 4% of gun deaths come from rifles. This would be like throwing a pebble into the Rio Grande and expecting that will stop the river.

I think its pretty clear how this would all go. Assault rifles (semi auto rifles) would be the first to get banned. Then they would realize that, that barely did anything to change gun crimes, so then they would ban all semi auto guns. Mandatory gun buy backs has to be one of the dumber policies I can think of in this country. 99% of people who own guns are law abiding citizens and they understand their 2nd amendment. They aren't just going to give that up.

It’s a sophisticated plot to ban guns and it’s been happening for decades. If started in Cali. They tried to ban all semi autos in the 80’s and were met with extreme backlash. They realized they had to go slow and dismantle guns and gun culture piece by piece, which they have been very successful in doing.

It’s just like the left dismantling America and creating their UN world without borders dreamland. Piece by piece. Republicans have worked hand in hand with dems for decades to accomplish this. Then Trump threw a wrench in everything and they attempted to overthrow him. 4 years, or 8, it’s just a small speed bump. The acceleration toward socialism/communism will be brutal once he’s gone.
 
Lol. 90% of democrats are Antifa, but the KKK boasts only 15 members. Have some more meth, guy.

I was doing cardio in the gym today and was passively watching a Fareed Zakaria documentary about the rise of white supremacism one of the TVs... It was basically making the case that that idiocy is becoming mainstream.

It's propaganda and frankly patently absurd... it does way more harm then good, images of 50s America and Jim Crow Alabama interspersed with Hitler and Nazi Germany and Charlottesville lunacy and shooters like Dylan Roof and Texas... The only thing it accomplishes is stokes the flames, encourages unhinged lunatics and creates the environment for more of what already happened as in Charlottesville, which was a virtual convention of the nation's unhinged supramacists gathered on the internet and we saw the result.

THen in the mind of the CNN viewer and ignorant AOCs of the world, anyone who is white and lives in Iowa that doesn't vote Dem must be a white supremacist.... a growing threat [eyeroll]
 
One should read only Fox News in today's America... sadly

Read anything else, you are misinformed... read nothing (like most people and most liberals) you are uninformed.

And I myself read way more non-Fox than Fox.

Did you even think before you posted? According to your post, only Fox should be read. If we read anything else, we are misinformed. You read more than Fox, so I guess you are misinformed? Congrats, I guess
 
Uh no, I didn't miss the point. I read an article and posted about THAT article. I guess you want me to visit several sites before posting.im not a journalist that needs to vette my sources.

Then you will never get the full story and you will continue to be dumbfounded that the guy has PTSD and mentioned the word genocide in his letter. Btw, you never answered why you think the Fox article left out some of the details?

Exactly what I was saying in my post about media. It’s ridiculous.

Have to agree with the lefty on this one, CRO - not your best work.

Also, saying “most people and most liberals” is superfluous at best and redundant at worst. You’re usually much better than this. Must be tired or hungover.

How else would I know the full breadth of propaganda and misinformation being spread if I didn't actually read it for myself? How else could I say with certainty, and complete validity, that Fox is providing you the most objective reporting?

Yes, ofcourse I thought before I posted... just not solely as shallowly as you did.

And I'm actually liberal, bro.

That's actually part of my point... that most people are uninformed in general.

But it is very much preferable to being misinformed
 
We need to buy back every single assault weapon.

“I want to be really clear that that’s exactly what we are going to do,” he said. If you own an AK-47 or AR-15, “you’ll have to sell them to the government.”




That asshole was portrayed as a ****ing moderate in the Senate election. He's jockeying for left of aoc now.

Old memes speak truth.

Agreed. I’m reminded of a meme with 2 booths - 1 labeled information and 1 labeled misinformation. The line at the info booth is non existent, the other is a mile long.

Do you have any idea what is with him at that golf course? He has the ability to do anything from there that he could do from the Oval Office. Would it make a difference if he was bowling at the WH?

None of that matters though. What you are talking about is time spent away from the WH. Doesn't matter what the President is doing. Compare that with previous Presidents and see how he ranks. That would at least be meaningful in some very small way.
He said he would be too busy to play golf didn't he? Now he is setting records.

It's all same as it ever was... some ancient Roman philosopher said, Man wants to be deceived, so let him be deceived.

Sure, that goes left/right/center everywhere and anything and everyone wants to think, hey that's not me but the other guy!

but this propagadna is getting out of hand and has unintended, very negative and dangerous consequences

Hah, yeah... actually posters used to call me liberal like a 4 letter word and I was always like hey I'm really more centrist, but then that moderate came to mean you were lying about how far left you were around here... so now, firmly and solidly to the right of these moronic leftists I can finally say... I AM A LIBERAL BRO!
 
Awe, don't knock it...at least it is made up to help the country and not disgrace or fight against the country...like your resident CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC,....yadda yadda yadda...
Bushrod does not have the mental capacity to understand how ignorant his post was.

I have no idea. Maybe because they’re bullshit?

The Perfect High

There once was a boy named Gimme-Some-Roy... He was nothin' like me or you,
'cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do.

As a kid, he sat in the cellar...sniffing airplane glue. And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do. He tried aspirin in Coca-Cola, he breathed helium on the sly, and his life became an endless search to find the perfect high.

But grass just made him wanna lay back and eat chocolate-chip pizza all night,
and the great things he wrote when he was stoned looked like shit in the morning light.
Speed made him wanna rap all day, reds laid him too far back, Cocaine-Rose was sweet to his nose, but the price nearly broke his back.

He tried PCP, he tried THC, but they never quite did the trick. Poppers nearly blew his heart, mushrooms made him sick. Acid made him see the light, but he couldn't remember it long. Hash was a little too weak, and smack was a lot too strong. Quaaludes made him stumble, booze just made him cry, Then he heard of a cat named Baba Fats who knew of the perfect high.

Now, Baba Fats was a hermit cat...lived high up in Nepal, High on a craggy mountain top, up a sheer and icy wall. "Well, hell!" says Roy, "I'm a healthy boy, and I'll crawl or climb or fly,
Till I find that guru who'll give me the clue as to what's the perfect high."

So out and off goes Gimme-Some-Roy, to the land that knows no time, Up a trail no man could conquer, to a cliff no man could climb. For fourteen years he climbed that cliff...back down again he'd slide . . .
He'd sit and cry, then climb some more, pursuing the perfect high.

Grinding his teeth, coughing blood, aching and shaking and weak, Starving and sore, bleeding and tore, he reaches the mountain peak. And his eyes blink red like a snow-blind wolf, and he snarls the snarl of a rat,
As there in repose, and wearing no clothes, sits the god-like Baba Fats.

"What's happenin', Fats?" says Roy with joy, "I've come to state my biz . . .
I hear you're hip to the perfect trip... Please tell me what it is. "For you can see," says Roy to he, "I'm about to die, So for my last ride, tell me, how can I achieve the perfect high?"

"Well, dog my cats!" says Baba Fats. "Another burned out soul, Who's lookin' for an alchemist to turn his trip to gold. It isn't in a dealer's stash, or on a druggist's shelf... Son, if you would find the perfect high, find it in yourself."

"Why, you jive mother-****er!" says Roy, "I climbed through rain and sleet,
I froze three fingers off my hands, and four toes off my feet! I braved the lair of the polar bear, I've tasted the maggot's kiss. Now, you tell me the high is in myself? What kinda shit is this?

My ears, before they froze off," says Roy, "had heard all kindsa crap; But I didn't climb for fourteen years to hear your sophomore rap. And I didn't climb up here to hear that the high is on the natch, So you tell me where the real stuff is, or I'll kill your guru ass!"

"Okay...okay," says Baba Fats, "You're forcin' it outta me... There is a land beyond the sun that's known as Zabolee. A wretched land of stone and sand, where snakes and buzzards scream, And in this devil's garden blooms the mystic Tzutzu tree.

Now, once every ten years it blooms one flower, as white as the Key West sky,
And he who eats of the Tzutzu flower shall know the perfect high. For the rush comes on like a tidal wave...hits like the blazin' sun. And the high? It lasts forever, and the down don't never come.

But, Zabolee Land is ruled by a giant, who stands twelve cubits high, And with eyes of red in his hundred heads, he awaits the passer-by. And you must slay the red-eyed giant, and swim the river of slime, Where the mucous beasts await to feast on those who journey by. And if you slay the giant and beasts, and swim the slimy sea, There's a blood-drinking witch who sharpens her teeth as she guards the Tzutzu tree."

"Well, to hell with your witches and giants," says Roy, "To hell with the beasts of the sea--
Why, as long as the Tzutzu flower still blooms, hope still blooms for me."
And with tears of joy in his sun-blind eyes, he slips the guru a five, And crawls back down the mountainside, pursuing the perfect high.

"Well, that is that," says Baba Fats, sitting back down on his stone, Facing another thousand years of talking to God, alone. "Yes, Lord, it's always the same...old men or bright-eyed youth... It's always easier to sell 'em some shit than it is to tell them the truth."

He tells whoever is watching every night that he is a talk show. He never claims to be anything that he's not.

That is the one thing I do give Fox credit for over the other channels. People like Don Lemmon, Cuomo, Maddow, O'Donnell constantly are telling their audience that they're not biased and reporting the news without bias. The Five constantly say how it is 4 on 1, Tucker doesn't hide his bias and Hannity (who I cant stand) doesn't try to hide his love for Trump at all.
