I am hearing Brad’s lament more and more lately. “Why are you guys being mean to me. Enough already”.
Ok, you don’t have to cry ‘Uncle’ (you would rather gnaw off your arm than say that) but are your saying to ease up? Shoot howdy, I thought you were here everyday for the duration to RESIST! Ok, we can ride under the flag of truce. Sooner or later the 24/7 demonstrating and carrying on would fizzle out anyway. It is a proven fact that one cannot run on a single emotion (like anger) more than 19 hours straight, or is it 19 days straight. Whatever, it’s a fact.
. Never get tired of winning, but I will stop and let ya heal up. Then we can rough house again. Get well soon! Love ya my brother. Peace. Pass under the flag of truce.

You are correct, that is a little garbled due to a misspelling.
“What a shame that you would afford your own spouses respect but so disrespect someone else’s while failing to recognize the hypocrisy in that.”
…and it was;t a “nice try” it was intended to trap, and it did. Trump can disrespect Ms. Kahn but the same words applied to your bride are an insult. Perhaps the words were an insult when first used by their originator.
Todd, just for your edification, using someone else’s words is not an endorsement when they are in quotation marks….they are…well a quote.
“Sweden is 20 times smaller than the USA which means there are way more chances to kill.” Is that the most nonsensical question ever?
But you do make a cogent case for gun control with this sentence, “And since we allow guns and they don’t I would say they are in much worse shape than us.”

Interesting, I made several comments today that were general in nature, and did not attack anyone here, yet have been derided by sockpuppet Fish and Don Bessee. Whatever, that is your right. It is just kind of sad that you have nothing to say, except to attack the person making the comments.
Pro tip: Sockpuppetry is what REDACTED engages in. Where one posts under his real name…in this case REDACTED…..but then goes on to use fake names/accounts so as to seemingly bolster his arguments or make the numbers his look not so embarassingly small at REDACTED site. I post under a pseudonym/handle. A fairly common practice…..in any case REDACTED outed me long ago so if you’re curious and enjoy spending time in the company of the like minded over at REDACTED I’m sure he’ll be happy to tell you my real name.
Lets see….
Accusations of racism: Frisch, Keachie, Emery, Emery, REDACTED, Anderson
Accusations of sexism: Frisch, Emery, Emery, REDACTED, Anderson
Accusations of Stupidity/Questionable IQ: Frisch, Keachie, Emery, REDACTED, Anderson
Accusations of xenophobia: Frisch, Emery, Emery, REDACTED, some moron posting as “jon” who really seemed to have a “thing” for Turkish men.
Rooting through the criminal/tax records for dirt on those you don’t like politically/socially: REDACTED
Overtly stating a desire for government/police forces to kill your political opposition: Anderson, Keachie
Accusations of the need for and abuse of psychiatric/psychoactive drugs: Frisch, Anderson
Accusations of Cyberbullying and general asshattery: REDACTED
I know that you guys have your complaints as well but truth be told political snark is really a child of those on the left. So I guess Brad if you want to mix it up in a fairly free and open forum you should stick around and mix it up…sometimes it’s substantive and on topic most times it’s not.
At least until George is completely sick of us.

Looks like U.C, Berkeley dodged a bullet when police shut down Milo Yiannopoulos’s scheduled talk at UC Berkeley. Now even CPAC rejects the Breitbart Editor ffom their conference. Sorry Bill and Walt I know he’s your favorite but it has been found out he’s kinda a creepy guy. He’s also acollegue and pal of Steve Bannon who hired him at Breitbart and is Trumps go to advisor
“UPDATE: Feb. 20 ― Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference this week “due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia,” according to a statement CPAC released Monday.
Over the weekend, a video surfaced online of the far-right agitator appearing to defend sexual relationships between adults and 13-year-old boys.
American Conservative Union President Matt Schlapp urged Yiannopoulos to “answer the tough questions” and “immediately further address these disturbing comments.”

You really are dense and it is sad. You yse quotes but fail to identify whose they were. So they are yours in the real world. And Khan and his wife were democrat tools and they attacked Trump for political points for Hillary. And Trump’s response was not unkind to her. But the press and you feckless liberals did you best to do that. And you failed as the people saw right through all your lies. Anyway, that episode is totally different than Ms. Rebane doing a letter to the Editor. As a self proclaimed smart guy you really are a dumbass.

He was originally tapped to give the keynote address at the annual conservative conference, despite previously advocating for gay men to “get back in the closet,” among other highly controversial public comments.
In the video, Yiannopoulos argued some 13-year-old boys are old enough to consent to sexual relationships with adults and insisted adults who have sex with 13-year-olds are not pedophiles.”
Yiannopoulos is Breitbart senior editor

Pretty weak apology Todd. You certainly wouldn’t cut Hillary the same slack when she uttered the deplorable “deplorables” only to retract it as a mistake. If you want to sleep in the MIlo bandwagon you have to accept the whole package of his eccentric beliefs such as “Abraham Lincoln was almost certainly at least bisexual.”
That’s apart of Milo’s credo which you can read and sign onto by reading this which he does not retract:

Priceless. Milo is irreplaceable.
Ben Shapiro is really conservative, but he is no Milo and has no sense of humor. Maybe we can get Dweezil Zappa to do the opening act.

Oh boy – Milo ‘appears’ to condone pedophilia. Except he said he doesn’t and he says he deplores it. But the piling on starts. Paul is now using this after the fact bit of news to cover for his fascist attitude about free speech. The left wing hypocrisy never stops. They support Clinton who is a rapist according to his own wife, Hilary, who also happens to support Bill’s habits. And then there’s the time Bill ditched the secret service to fly into Lolita Island to spend some time doing – well, what ever goes on there. And Roman Polansky is the left’s lil darling. In fact, they claim he’s a victim.
So – actual rape and pedophilia are oakie dokie as long as it’s the left’s own, but if you are conservative, they go after you if you are a bit stupid with the wording in some of your public opinions.
Anything to keep from having an actual debate or adult conversation. The left runs scared every time.
