    What's a pro life establishment?

    No, these death threats are pouring in against the FBI, and the "BUT DEMOCRATS" line doesn't justify it.

    Not really. The point is that if the CW comes, and that is a big if, the fantasies of the Southern Gentlemen talking is going to hit reality in which such a war would be something that devastates everyone. Whether it is slavery, woke, "hyper-liberal agenda" does not really matter. What matters is the cold hard reality that a CW will practically wipe out families and there will be no "rules of engagement" this time.

    The thing about it is, that Russia is the X factor. China wants to be like us in SE Asia and Africa. I can deal with China but never trust the Russians.

    Is this a clinical diagnosis? What are your qualifications?

    This more likely the case: RW violent rhetoric leads to RW radicalization and people doing stupid things for even more stupid reasons. All for the RW politicians to fund raise off of.

    Right now, the DOJ is in the process of unsealing the search warrant for Trump. This will show the evidence that there was probable cause to search the house and that Trump was hiding the information. And in Trump world, they are even speculating who that might be.

    By definition, it cannot be considered gas lighting of one is insane. As a random guy on the internet, I am more than qualified to diagnose someone attacking armed FBI agents as less than sane.

    The same sweeping generalization fallacy can be made for the other party.

    We're willing to move to get away from you... even the nazi's let Jews, gypsies, et al leave peacefully - at first.

    The logistics would be a pain, but doable.

    Both sides have their extremists. The Pro Life side have the Eric Rudolfs of the world and the "Pro Abortionists" have people who make threats to be like Eric Rudolf.

    However, the problem is not them, it is the politicians on both sides who refuse to compromise because, god forbid, a win will be granted by the other side. That is why anti-abortion laws such as the Texas Heartbeat Bill fuel this nonsense. There is no exception in that bill. The recent Florida Bill is reasonable, but then again, Florida has that trigger law from past anti-abortion laws, which makes the new Florida law null and void in practice. If Gov DeSantis said that the trigger law was null and void, then it would not be much of an issue, would it?

    I can't wait to hear their argument to from "Why won't they publicize the warrant?" to "It was corrupt for them to publicize the warrant!"

    Distinction with a difference argument AKA, a logical fallacy, and a bad one^. Not surprising and yes, his comment i responded to was gas lighting. So, this more likely the case: RW violent rhetoric leads to RW radicalization and people doing stupid things for even more stupid reasons. All for the RW politicians to fund raise off of.

    Well, I hear Russia is taking on volunteers. And Russian politics is right up your alley in your political idealogy. Want to give it a go?


    As for the Nazis, no they didn't. They closed their borders in 1938 and anyone who was Jewish, Gypsie, etc, was not allowed to leave. From 1933 to 1939, when the war began, you had to fill out forms to declare your religion. And if that was Jewish, you were not allowed on the plane, the boat, etc. if that was a German plane or boat. There was some 1000 Jews in 1937 on a boat, mostly women and children, but even the governments at that time did not want to suggest that Hitler was right. This is why they didn't accept them in, not even the UK, France, Russia, or even the US.

    Only a small number of people approved of the violent behavior, and that was wrong too.
    Why can't all bad behavior be wrong, regardless of who is doing it?

    People had a chance to flee - Albert Einstein left, thousands left.

    Still, people with roots... having lived somewhere their entire lives, parents, grandparents, they had recently survived WWI, etc... it's not an easy decision to make - without the foresight to understand genocide was on the table.

    As for Russia, that is on line with your leftists philosophy.

    I'm a libertarian, I believe in freedom and limited government - I'm very much a minority in America.

    Certainly no leftist, Democrat, socialist, progressive, whatever label you're wearing that day, believes in limited government or the rule of law.

    America was the last bastion of freedom left in the world.

    Putin is not a lefty or a rightie, he is an authoritarian, much like Hungary's Prime Minister Orban, who spoke at CPAC.

    If you are a true Libertarian, then you really should oppose Gov DeSantis's bills such as the Woke Act, the Don't Say Gay Act, and others. But somehow you are for those, which puts you in the Putin/Orban camp.

    Keep ignoring 1/6, let alone taking classified material to his personal residence, but I doubt you will ever acknowledge that.

    Swooning and clutching your pearls already? Not willing to wait for more information?

    How many calories do you burn with knee-jerking? I could stand to lose a few pounds.

    That's pretty funny you should say that because all you're doing is exposing your own blatant double standards

    Albert Einstein immigrated to the US in 1933, before the laws came into full effect in Germany. Furthermore, he was in the US at that time when he immigrated and became an illegal alien, err I mean a refugee. He has been in the US since 1932, before Hitler came into power. So this example is null and void on your part. Yes, he was german born, but you need to look at the details, and you missed quite a bit there.

    Being a minority is not based on political ideology, not what is protected under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

    I'm anti-FBI. It's not really the same thing since the FBI has largely abandoned the pretense of enforcing laws and become a politicized retaliation squad for Democrats.

    Walked from Maryland to California?

    [​IMG]

    The exact timeline and sequence of events isn't terribly clear yet, but my understanding is that "turned himself in" means surrendered to the USMS agents that caught him when he arrived at Brett Kavanaugh's house, not something like "travelled to the police station of his own volition, walked inside, and turned himself in".

    If he's a libertarian he would oppose government agencies, e.g., public schools, indoctrinating children. If you support that indoctrination you're in the Georg Lukács/Leninist/Maoist/National Socialist camp.
