#28 | Posted by johnny_hotsauce Do tell what that "peaceful group" was shouting. Oh, you forgot that crap.

#23 | Posted by jpw "none of those groups have the slightest chance of having enough political power to go after guns". I said nothing about gun rights. I said I read and understand the objectives and views of the hard left. When I think of this while I am shopping, I buy more ammo for my stash. Why not wake yourself up. These people want to destroy this nation and rule with unlimited power. No free speech, no property rights, racial laws worse than Jim Crow, destroy the family unit, special taxes for particular racial groups, reparations for things that happened 160 years ago... I believe that they are serious, you ignore what they say publicly.

#13 | Posted by jpw, No, I read the literature and statements by the left; BLM, BAMN, Antifa, Democratic Socialist, Democrat Underground. I take what they are saying seriously. You could do so, but you will not. It might destroy you illusions.

They have the creep on video, his days as a free man are numbered. Shooting someone during a protest is called terrorism. Blocking traffic is against the law. Slamming cars is against the law, Threatening bystanders is against the law. Maybe we need someone to enforce the law.

Hell, who are they going to interview? The Taliban? The the GRU? That is the problem, those involved are not going to testify, the only sources are the intelligence agencies and they have no first hand knowledge or proof.

10 | Posted by sitzkrieg According to who? The residents said it was locked because of the unrest in the area.

#4 | Posted by Zed What amazes me is only SOME black lives matter. Black lives mater if the individual is killed by law enforcement, if a black life is ended by the urban violence endemic in every Democrat run city, that organization is mute. The difference is the numbers are more than 30 times that of police involved shootings. Most police shooting are when the suspect points a gun at the cop. Note: where the police have withdrawn, the murder of black people have exploded.

What you don't hear in the MSM is the audio portion of this encounter. Burn it down, We [...] you cracker, and other epitaphs are heard. It is obvious that these two have no training what so ever. But they had the ability to defend themselves and their property, something the left would love to end. These "protesters" tore down a heavy iron gate to gain access to this property. Then hurled threats at the occupants and home owners. Let's see, forcible entry, threats made, and armed homeowners. If they had [...], they would be justified. Just as [...]. The law says they can, I believe they should have. Even a mindless mob will flee deadly force. Sometimes that is what it takes to restore order. I would have shot into the dirt, that is effective unless the subject is insane.

Posted by reinheitsgebot, Are you so ignorant that you do not realize that this oath is taken by EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL in this country. Every Rep, Senator, Judge, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, Coastie, State Official, County Official, City Official, LEO and POTUS take this oath.
#2 | Posted by Zed, #3 | Posted by jpw, #4 | Posted by a_monson, #5 | Posted by OCUser, #6 | Posted by Tor Yall have proven your own stupidity. I took this same oath seven times, with one additional sentence.

#28 | Posted by snoofy Seems that a mixed race woman,(1/4 black) could have said no. She could have stayed in France. But she stayed with him for 40+ years and had four kids by him. I guess that doesn't fit your narrative of rape.

#2 | Posted by donnerboy Go ahead and hire the Crips to keep your neighborhood safe. You may not like the police, but the alternative is much worse.

Hate to tell y'all this but there has always been a bounty on American Soldiers in every conflict we have been in in the last 70 years. In Iraq the bounty was 20K for a female soldier captured alive, 10K for a live male, 5k for a body part from a dead American. In Vietnam, the reward was 10K for an officer. The Russians put up the money in Vietnam, The Iranians put up the money in Iraq.

#19 | Posted by snoofy The future can turn in ways you can not imagine. Don't believe it could not happen.
#18 | Posted by snoofy It was acceptable, even cute to drive drunk when I was a kid, MADD changed that. Sexual assault has always been taken very seriously, long before women's lib and obnoxious feminists, the penalty for rape was death.

#15 | Posted by snoofy I know your level of ignorance is considerable, but realize everyone in the 18th century practiced slavery. EVERYONE. Your condemnation of those centuries passed just shows your own limited perspective. Slavery was acceptable and rationalized for the entirety of history. We are the aberration.

A little fact for y'all to consider, 80% of criminal acts at any university is committed by students with athletic scholarships. I will never have anything but contempt for these spoiled myopic jocks. I hope collage football dies.

At the corner of the Ellipse there is a statue of Baron Von Steuben. I guess we can tear it down too, as he was a homosexual and a foreigner. Perhaps someone will blow up the MLK memorial. --- for tat. Tolerance is a two way street.

#12 | Posted by DarkVader Do stupid things, get stupid prizes. Iconoclasts generally have a reason for destroying artwork. These cretins have no discrimination or cause, they just want to destroy. Images of Lincoln, Grant and many others have been torn down. As Orwell stated, to control the future, first control the past.

Andrew Jackson is the founder of the Democrat Party. The worst he did was the Trail of Tears, the forced removal of Native people from their land and marched to Oklahoma. What most miss is these "Indians", like the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek,and Seminole were not living in teepees, they were living in houses, working farms and plantations, some even owned slaves. The removal did not spring out of thin air, it was a land grab. The purpose was to expand slavery, which it did. The areas seized became the most profitable and productive areas in the south. Cotton became king afterwards.

The worst thing Woodrow Wilson did was his revisionist history of our civil war. That is what made him a national figure. The "Lost Cause" myth was his creation. What I found surprising is how few challenged this lie. This was written within the living memory of many of the combatants. "Birth of a Nation" was inspired by his writings. The second KKK was inspired by that movie. If there is an individual that needs to be forgotten, I nominate him.

There is a reason they put these things out and it is basically a bad idea. Ranchers want to control predators and local counties want to control rabies in the area. Killing off coyotes is counter productive. Eradicate them and your ranch will be overwhelmed with rats and other rodents. I seen that happen more than once. Rabies is harder. Some animals live with rabies, weasels like raccoons, skunks, and badgers don't get sick. Neither do bats or rabbits. Coyotes are canines and they do get sick and die. The best control is to keep your area clean, rat proof, and food free. No prey means the critters that carry rabies will have no interest in your area.

#2 | Posted by docnjo, The revision of Communist leaders in Europe reminds me a lot of the revision of Southern leaders in the civil war, like Nathan Bedford Forest, who slaughtered hundreds of surrendering troops at Fort Pillow, became the first national leader of the Klu Klux Klan and made his fortune as a slave broker. The state of Tennessee erected a statue to him in 1972 at their state capital. I believe the reason they haven't buried Lenin is to prove he is still dead.

Revolutionaries are remembered if they are successful. But the rub happens when you look at what what their revolution wrought. In Lenin's case it was a monstrous government that murdered more than 20 million of their own citizens. Stalin did not start the Gulags, Lenin did. Forced collectivization of private farms was not Stalin's idea, it was Lenin's. He was no hero. This is about as wise as the Russians erecting a statue of Hitler. Hitler killed far fewer Russians than the Communist Party.

#20 | Posted by TFDNihilist, Yep, it takes a lot of cognitive dissidence to accept "Southern Heritage" was more than the preservation of slavery. My objection is civil rights is now led by BLM. One should read their literature and public statements before they join or support that organization.

#10 | Posted by YAV As long as the individual in question had been a slave. Paid for by the party created to protect and perpetuate their "peculiar institution", the Democrats. Maybe we can give a check to every descendant of slaves as they renounce their citizenship as they leave for elsewhere.
