sdt354;444868[I said:]I'm not getting what makes Snoop's the final authority on facts.[/I] They rebut almost everything. Better on the side of caution than being caught off guard. And we're looking to be caught off guard. The only saving grace might be the neglect of promises made to get elected. It scares me when the wealthy have more than they need and now seek power. Our system of election needs a revamp. Political contributions are the utmost in corruption. Equal war chest, with a limit. Contributions from abroad, not allowed. The two party system is not working anymore.
I agree that snopes may have their own agenda so lets look at this case. What is their agenda here ? Looks like to document posted was not created by the person it is attributed too. That is a fact not a point of view. It's using made up statements and a scary author to paint liberals as people who are trying to destroy the country. I'm a liberal and I love our country just as much as conservatives do but we just have different ideas on how to make our country better. While I did not like President Bush (W) he was still my president and I respected the will of the people. I've read many comments here saying 'someone should put a bullet in him', 'he's not my president', plus others that are even worse concerning President Obama. I never have said or even thought about any of our presidents this way but for some here it's considered normal. I respect my VMAX brothers opinions and will try to point out falsehoods when I see them but your opinions are your own.
1> the increase in poverty isn't a liberal agenda. It's an oligarch agenda. And oligarchs come in both flavors -- red and blue -- democrat and republican. Republicans have just as bad a track record with budgets and debt and spending as democrats do. As long as the oligarchs have the people in a proverbial hatfield vs mccoys -- they're power stays in check.
2> class warfare is a by product of step 1.
3> the erosion of christianity is due to the progress of science, not liberals. It's there in the history books, the erosion of christianity has been a long and slow one over the course of centuries as science progresses. And science accelerates exponentially -- therefore so does the erosion of christianity. Also having the most powerful christian church proving to have a long standing tradition and system of sheltering pedophiles doesn't help the image either. Imo pope francis is doing a very commendable job trying to repair image of the catholic church. But it's a herculean task. And lets not try to pretend the christian right isn't just as guilty of trying to influence public school curriculums.
4> gun control. I'm a gun owner - i own 6 firearms. I am concerned about my rights as a gun owner. But i also like to keep things rational. Just recently in my state of missouri they passed senate bill 656 and it removed the requirement for training to have a conceal carry permit. I was opposed to it and i know a few firearms instructors that were as well. Why? Because the missouri conceal carry permit had large reciprocity among other states. This will most certainly effect that reciprocity. When i did my conceal carry training there was an older woman who failed the course. She couldn't hit the target at all. All of her shots were hitting the floor a few feet in front of the target. During the lecture part of the course the instructor asked "you are licensed to carry, you are walking to your car and you see a dog coming at you -- what do you do?" the woman who couldn't hit a stationary target said she would land a head shot on the dog in that situation. She failed the course. Even though she couldn't carry, she could still own a firearm and defend her home or herself while in a car. I felt that was a fair compromise. But now she can conceal carry and i pray a dog doesnt scare her.
All i've been hearing for the last eight years is obama is gonna take my guns away. Look, if 20 1st graders getting shot point blank in the face with an ar-15 and their blood is splattered on their school room wall like a fucking finger paint project doesn't en-act gun control, i think you can feel pretty safe he's not going to take your guns away. Btw, when we're talking about "bad hombres" and "refugee terrorists" lets remember that sick fuck adam lanza was a white american born and raised here. Let's remember the person who killed 12 and injured 70 people in a movie theatre wasn't muslim or mexican -- he was a white american male. My point is dangerous people are not exclusive to a religion or race or country of origin.
That's not to say the democrats don't have a desire to get rid of guns. Many do. But if we keep saying every democrat is going to take our guns away, it eventually starts a "boy who cried wolf" scenario. We need to keep it rational and reasonable even in the face of irrational and unreasonable liberals trying to do it.
Speaking of 'taking away our guns'....it's looking like Clinton is more than likely going to be the next Democrat boogeyman (boogeybitch?) in line to be accused of going after our guns. Whatever she said regarding what she was gonna do after getting elected was just bullshit to GET elected. She is only concerned about being the first bitch potus.....nothing more. She will make 'closed door deals,' throw friends & colleagues to the wolves, lie, and lie some more.....cause that's her MO.
Taking our guns away is no small task.....and Clinton ain't up for it...plain & simple. When the going gets rough, Clinton's gonna lie, steal, pitch out a few sacrificial lambs and sneak out the back door....you watch!
