So you have to be in the right place at the right time to see examples of left-wing nutjobs. Got it.
What were the reasons that politician didn’t want to march in the pride parade? The other “examples” aren’t examples. They are right wing scare stories based on left-wing nutjobs who are only seen if one is in the right place at the right time.
Totally could be considered a terrorist strike, and I wouldn’t argue of you called it illegally. That said, I’d trade 150 concussed grunts for the surgical elimination of a couple real productive assholes hell-bent on fucking over America and her allies. Also, America is partly to blame for the missiles shooting down the passenger jet. Very unfortunate.
I dont see them engaging in or promoting the lunacy the left does. The right has their own issues, but I find those on the left far more detrimental and sinister. You seem enraged.
We’re talking about the left. I have plenty for the right, too. Again… I see the left as a more serious threat to our country than the right. Can’t make it any more clear.
I despise the leftists that engage in their psychotic charades. I also despise white supremacists, religious loons, racist punks, etc…
I can rant and rave but you’ll never see me actively trying to harm someone, stifle their freedoms, assault, shut down speaking events, etc… Christ, it’s not difficult, dude. You seem very tightly wound. You’re some nobody on an internet forum. So am I. Deep breaths…
Why is that? I think mixing politics with the DOJ is more threatening to our democracy than anything proposed by the Dems. I mean sure Bernie is a democratic socialist, but many countries are successful with democratic socialist politicians running things. Bernie would probably fit somewhere in the middle in some European countries.
I didn’t say you would do those things and neither would I. I don’t think it’s possible anyone in her is coming across as tightly wound as you but that’s just my opinion and apparently others in here.
Also you seem mad/angry whatever is a very typical internet arguing tactic used instead of a response to what was said. Not saying that was your intention but do with that what you want.
I think all anyone has actually accused you of in here is saying you’re against certain actions while using them. It’s just weird is all and a bit funny as people are pointing out to you.
I see the left’s policies and ideas as a cancer. Starts small and innocuous enough but will spread and destroy us from within.
The Beto douche was raving about taking guns away from us. They’re not even trying to veil their contempt for white Americans. They want free stuff (I actually can appreciate the sentiment) but haven’t explained how it WON’T destroy parts of our system… Other stuff as well
Do you think far leftists are more influential, than the far right wing and therefore have better chances to become “mainstream”? Or do you think the far left policies/actions are more harmful than the far right?
I agree actually. Im passionate about this country and it’s opportunities and freedoms. I just don’t see how the left is, in any way, consistent with my values and principles.
Who do you think POTUS and his large, rabid base identifies closer to: far leftists, or far rightwingers? Obvious answer, obviously.
So if the far right wingers are much closer to political power than far leftists, why wouldnt they be more influential?
We might actually agree on whose actions/policies are worse (fuck em both), but I just don’t see how you can view the left wing nutjobs as more influential with the current political regime in power.
This surprises me. Can you give me an example of one of the current Democrats who you feel is as emotionally impulsive as the President in terms of frequency?
I think all people are emotionally impulsive to an extent but I don’t think I’ve seen anything from any of the Democratic candidates to suggest they would be more prone to not thinking a situation or a response out than the President. Leaving out whether or not you would agree with the response it seems like the last Democratic President and the current Republican President are about as far apart as possible in that category.
I am against this. My reason is that I just like guns. People get killed doing other activities all the time. I think the left should just drop this, and move on as I don’t think they will ever succeed in gun control.
If I thought that we could end gun violence, and that a proposed policy would work (which I don’t think), I would give up my guns for the greater good.
I am not a fan of this type of thinking. It is a slippery slope argument. Democratic socialism will not necessarily lead to Communism. It hasn’t in many examples. I think we should not avoid all social programs because we are on a slippery slope to communism, we have elections to handle things going to far in one direction. We can find a balance.
Ok. But wouldn’t it stand to reason that if the base picks a leader that is incredibly emotionally impulsive that they are fine with that? Possibly highly emotionally impulsive themselves? When I think of the leaders like Rush, Hannitty, Trump, etc I don’t think of calm and collected people. When I think of the tea party movement or Trump rallies chanting lock her up about Pelosi or Clinton or “send back” Americans I tend to see a lot of emotion. Scarier I see a side that is willing to follow anything their leader says.
I mean it’s the age of twitter and social media shit. Being emotionally impulsive is sort of the order of the day. But I personally care less about what some crazies think than those with significant political power.
Note that even though I agree with some Democratic ideas more than Republicans I would vote for pretty much any Republican ever if the Dems had someone with the lack of control and decency that the President does.
What was Reagan’s position on guns? Rudy Giuliani when he was mayor of NYC? Republicans have no problem disarming Americans but they want votes. If the winds change they’ll change.
Because some of these feminists appear to be difficult to please.
We have a discussion on this in the “Men and Women” thread. What feminism once was and what it has become are two different things.
What about all the videos and pictures of Joe Biden groping women and little girls? That doesn’t sound right.
I don’t like Trump, but if he’s the most popular Republican candidate then either the rest are worse or he’s giving people what they want.
While you do have a point, I don’t see statements like that making the news regularly. Also I live in Canada, and I haven’t heard any politician here use those terms while the left make the same accusations of phobias and isms.
Why should you need a reason not to march in a gay pride parade?
No, our PM Trudeau was calling people racist for opposing the open border situation we had over here. He is one of the worst example of namecalling leftists.
Those countries are having a lot of issues due to their leftist policies. Like millions of single men coming as refugees that can’t find jobs or women and the resulting problems.
A while back someone on here linked a survey about political beliefs, apparently I’m center-left. The goalposts just keep moving.
The countries with the highest murder rates in the world don’t have the right to bear arms. Less guns just gives criminals the upper hand.
