Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

Quote from edwardaneal

it is interesting to me when I think that AOC was only 10 or 11 when 9/11 happened - - probably was totally oblivious at the time to the significance of what was happening

Today when I realized it was the 18th anniversary I was at first surprised at how quickly the time had passed, in my mind it still seems like it was yesterday when I woke up to the news showing the first plane hitting and not even knowing what was happening yet, and then I thought about my oldest granddaughter Lyric who just turned 18 last June and thought about how to her it must almost seem like some old historic event that she learned about in school

it blows my mind how her perspective and mine can be so totally different

And it blows my mind even more that people not much older than her can have a say in how we deal with events in the middle east thinking they actually know more or know better than those of us who were adults when 9/11 took place

That is what I was trying to say

Quote from Bill Martin

Anybody watchin the Dem debates ?? What a sad sack of shit they are - if any one of them becomes president we are SCREWED !!

sorry Bill - I am not even curious enough to turn it on - I know if I did it would just piss me off and why mess up an otherwise good day

Saw my first Andrew Yang bummer sticker today.... heading north too. Higher ground!

I have to pull up next to them just to see who they are!

Well its been a while since I said hey,..But hey and while Im at it the problems with politics is politicians. Any time lemmings elect pencil pushing morons into office is always a delight for all normal hard working Americans that thought we elected them to do our business and stop looking in our window in the dead of night. The best thing I can say is its a Narcissistic world in Washington. But hey if you get your news from TMZ then heres your sign!

This new crop of left wing liberals are worshiping Robin Hood as the first liberal and their inspiration saying he was a savior of tyranny and provided for the poor. In all honesty, Robin Hood was the first Socialist. The only reason he robbed from the RICH, was the poor didn't have any money

Quote from Bill Martin

NEXT....

Only the one's that advocate denying the American citizens their constitutional rights and advocate a socialist government.

We have seen what a socialist government does to it's people.

We should put them all on a Plane, take their passports, revoke their citizenship and send them to Venezuela so they can have their socialist country.

But this time they will do what has never been done before. Make it work. Just ask them.

What always amazes me is the total lack of understanding these morons have of the 2nd amendment. They say things like "you don't need military style guns to defend your family from criminals"

They seem totally oblivious as to the fact that the 2nd amendment isnt about protecting ones self or ones family from criminals - - the entire point of the second amendment is guaranteeing that the people can have the guns they need to protect themselves from the government.

The founders were not worried about home invasions - - the wanted to make sure that the people could keep the government in its place should the need arise and they absolutely intended that the people have the same weapons as the government has so that if needed the people could come together with those guns to form militias to protect the people against a bad government

In 1776 the English had Muskets and canon. We had Muskets and canon.

In 2019 the gov't has fighter jets, tanks, artillery, Hum-v's.

We have Muskets and canon.

Gun control is no more than political control of the masses cloaked as... for the peoples safety.

Comrade, You don't need no stinking guns.

I still think we do.

Let me expand on this a little.

Yes, the government has all that, more specifically, the US Military has all that.

But then you have that pesky little law that states the US Military CAN NOT be used against the citizens of this country,

And ANY order stating for them to do that should and would be ignored by the majority of the members of the military.

Now, for what the law abiding citizens of the US has.

They have jets, we have planes, more planes than they have jets, yes, they can shoot ours down, if there are pilots to fly their jets against citizens.

They have tanks, a few peeps in the US has a tank or two, and only if they have soldiers to operate their tanks.

They have artillery, some patriots have rocket launchers and heavier stuff than most of us have.

They have hummers, we have 4x4's, jeeps, sidexsides and whatever.

They have M-16's, we have AR-15's with the same ammo they have, green tips, red tips, Hollow points, yadayadayada. They carry 3-4 magazines, We carry dozens and dozens of mags, 100 round drums

FROM Answers.com

There is 507,158 soldiers in the army, 347,693 soldiers in the navy, 347,352 soldiers in the air force, 179,762 marines.

There are an estimated 320 MILLION LEGAL guns in the US.

YOU DO THE MATH!!!!

just to make it clear "pesky little laws" as you call them wont stop a corrupt government any "pesky little laws" that get in their way would be the first thing a corrupt government changes

remember they make the laws and if they dont like one that stands in their way then - - - - -

"pesky little laws" are only good if the government follows the laws and good governments that follow the laws are not what the 2nd amendment is needed for

Thank you for the numbers

I didn't understand why Beto was still hanging around but then I saw a story on the news about "emotional support clowns." Who knew Beto actually had a purpose.

I think my point was NOT explained well enough.

As a previous member of one of those branches of service, I agreed to uphold the constitution of the united states and defend her against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

IF a corrupt government tried to outlaw or over ride the constitution, they become the enemy of the constitution, then my oath requires me to DEFEND the constitution against the offending people, not to accept an ILLEGAL order, even from a superior officer or even the President contrary to the constitution.

So how many of those above listed members of the military do you actually think would blindly follow the orders of an enemy of the constitution? 10%, 25%, even 50%???? I personally do not think too many, and those members would defend with us, using the fire power of their military that they were trained to fight with. So with 50% of the military fighting along side the civilians that LEGALLY OWN 320 MILLION GUNS, more than the entire military complex has ever seen, much less possess, how do you think that will turn out? They would have tanks, we would have tanks, they would have planes, so would we. They would have missiles and mortars, so would we. Their soldiers would have hundreds of rounds of ammo, we would have THOUSANDS.

Even though I am no longer an ACTIVE member of the military, I do not remember the last sentence of MY oath saying "UNTIL YOU GET OUT OF THE MILITARY, then don't worry about it anymore". I remember it being "So help me God" with no expiration date said or implied.

So in the case an Illegal order against the constitution is ordered, and there is an uprising against the criminal offenders, all I can say is "so help them God", because they will need it.

I have been summoned to look at a particular post or two on this thread. I have never had to before. So yall must have really stirred up some political emotions.

I belive it was something about shooting Democrats. I know that yall are just deep in a debate and I know that yall dont have any intention to do anyone harm. So with that said.... I'm going to drop those 2 little post off this thread and yall continue on. I'm sure yall will play nice ..

Edward Neal Democrats don't obey the laws we have now. Pesky laws mean nothing to them.
