    I haven't seen that, got a link that's not clearly left biased? And yes, fed up citizens do go around armed, kinda how America started.

    Is your only source of news RW?
    We are not starting America.
    But a Revolution is duly noted.

    You can search on armed protestors. There will be dozens of stories about some of them being White Nationalists.
    You can even limit your search to just Mi.

    We'll see in a couple of weeks how it works out.

    Maybe we will be " Lucky " and the virus begins to recede. Hope so !

    Under the current President the country will have to put their faith in Hope

    Sadly we can't do the smart thing ......... Like other countries who didn't have to shut their economies

    Stay at home . Wide spread testing. Contact tracing.

    Opening based on Data. Not Trumps personal Re-election problems

    Then Everyone will go out and spend money and our economy will come back

    Trumps Liberate States are just wrong and bad for America

    Again (if it's repeated enough like a bumper sticker will you be able to get it then ? )
    FoxHastings said:
    No, projecting is what you were doing when you claimed I was angry, with, as usual , NO proof or evidence of that.

    :) BTW, the protesters are the ones that are angry.....


    AGAIN, if your ONLY defense of them is that you think I am angry then you have no defense….:)







    I find that when people learn a simple bumper sticker slogan, they rarely ever learn anything else. :)


    I did not hurl insults, I stated facts.


    You are correct, they are nothing.

    BTW, I am quite capable of insulting someone without being angry.....:)….not everyone operates off their emotions...

    Centrist and middle of the road means 'left biased' to the far right.

    The armed protestors are not protected by freedom of speech.

    They can be swept out any time the authorities decided to do so.

    The confederate flags are waved by Republicans these days.

    The governor is a power-mad authoritarian.

    I dont think so, i think you are angry and thats why you are insulting. The reality is, they are just freedom loving patriots making their voices heard. Brave heroes.

    Republicans won the first one, and will win again if necessary. The far left is simply to limp wristed to stand a chance.

    Incorrect, he stated his opinion and insulted them. That’s not fact.

    These freedom loving patriots are simply people who want their jobs back, there is no white nationalists among them. That is nonsense. Simply democrat false flag operations looking to stir division.

    It is predictable. They do it all the time.

    From pretending there are white supremacists everywhere, to claiming they were victims of fake hate crimes lol.

    You sound very confused. There will be no civil war by left or right. The LEO and the NG and the armed forces will not support either side.

    Remember that the armed protestors in MI are merely wussy American Vanilla ISIS.

    I disagree I think they most certainly would and they would squash the left.

    these armed protesters were freedom loving patriots making their voices heard. Nothing more.

    That is your right as much as it is theirs. CA beaches were closed. I have been going to the beach since I was little and no one has ever sat within 10 feet of each other. Just know that the abuse of power you agree with will be used for something you oppose.

    I can see your point where fed up citizens do go around armed, but if it results in shooting on either side (which will result in deaths), is that what we really want? Because death is final and if so will it no doubt spread like oil on a pond to a point where millions could possibly die?

    I agree that's how America started but the founding fathers, in order to prevent civil wars from breaking out, fashioned a mechanism to resolve issues that could crop up thus avoiding bloodshed, that being the judicial and election cycle. It is a peaceful way to settle issues such as constitutional ones in order to avoid violence. To my way of thinking it's the right way to resolve these things.

    No they are people who don't like the government to trash their personal freedom. Their protest is justified, even required.

    Remember what another poster we know used to say? "When the law becomes lawless, the people must take the law into their own hands" (hope he is OK, have not heard from him in some time)
    This Governor is akin to a bad cop, those who think they make up the law as they go along, just blatant and completely unconstitutional, power grab.
