    Looks like a antifa has shot memners of the Congress at a baseball game. Only Republicans. This is what happens when the democrat rhetoric and actions sets off a nut.

    Let’s be clear gentlemen, I deplore all forms of political violence, from the left right or center, from urban or rural, from young or old, from any race, creed, religious identity, gender, ethnicity or place of origin. I am a believer in the Gandhi practice of Satyagraha.
    Our thoughts should be with the victims and their families and wishing them a speedy recovery.

    Steve Frisch the uber-partisan Bernie lemming. His ilk shoots people playing baseball. And he says I would be the first to make it partisan. Sorry but as usual you are uninformed. The man asked the party of the players. And now we see he was a Bernie supporter and a liberal placard carrying goon in some protests shown on his Facebook. Frisch has no credibility at all here and is now the laughingstock. Good job there Steve Frisch.

    Dylan did not plagiarize, he cribbed using sparknotes. Huge difference. Cribbing is allowed by most style guidelines, while plagiarism is not. Anyone who refers to previously written words will crib to one degree or another. Speech writers (and Dylan’s was a speech) lean heavily on cribbing. If this were the lyrics of a song he was going to copyright as original, I’d have a problem, being an acceptance speech I think it is acceptable.

    Nope! But for much of the Obama administration you could hear the sighs of anguish every time the shooter wasn’t a conservative white guy.
    Almost got their poster child with Dylan Roof though. I can only imagine that the narrative wouldn’t take because the mugshots made him look like a lost 7 year old!
    The wails when the Riverside shooter turned out to be Muslim were heartbreaking! The left was more upset it seemed than the families of the actual victims!

    I suppose it just depends on the blog. I was amusing myself looking at the NY Times and seeing hundreds of posts that basically went:
    “(a sentence or two) My prayers are for the Congressman, etc. (many many sentences) BUT, gun control blah blah blah”
    To be fair, crazy (or the merely politically possessed) people with rifles are the ones that are impossible to stop. Breivik being a prime example.
    It seems to me that higher degrees of political violence are not so much based on ability and access to destructive potential, but are natural side effects of economic (and civilization) cycles and/or diversity. This last could be made up of religious groups as much as it could be based on language, race, or culture.

    This time it did end fairly quickly, Paul. The shooter was himself shot and killed. Sen. Paul, also there, was adamant that had one of the victims not been among the House leadership and rating a security detail from the Capitol Police to quickly return fire, it would have been a real bloodbath.
    This might not be the best time to call for Republicans to disarm, Paul.

    Wonder what triggered the trigger guy? Probably just another, yet common, case of TDS when all is said and done. Geeze, the gruntled former Bernie Bro campaign worker done going hunting for R’s. Reminds me when Oberlin College in Ohio (student body 3,000) found out that nearly 400 of their own voted for Trump and the Social Justice Warriors demanded the voting records be released so they could hunt down those who strayed off the thought reservation. Or, HH 88’s column in the Union immediately following the 2016 election asking (paraphrase from memory ) “Who among us voted voted for Trump? Who among our neighbors thinks that way? Who? Who? Who done it?”………….Maybe it was the store clerk who always greets you with a smile, that two faced SOB. Or, maybe it was the lady behind you in the check out line? Or maybe it was me!

    You omitted “run you over”‘, then slice you. That is the reason why I tell all conservative kids to look both ways before crossing the street. There are Dems among us running amok with a bad case of TDS.
    Which reminds me, wasn’t Omar Marteen a registered Democrat? I know, I know, that is not fair. He did it in the name of Islam, so that don’t count.

    As I’ve said at various times in the past…..Europe is the deepest of trouble!

    One noteworthy reality about Europe’s current political leadership is summarised here by Phil Lawler:
    • Macron, the newly elected French president, has no children.
    • German chancellor Angela Merkel has no children.
    • British prime minister Theresa May has no children.
    • Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni has no children.
    • Holland’s Mark Rutte,
    • Sweden’s Stefan Löfven,
    • Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel,
    • Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon—all have no children.
    • Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, has no children.


    “So a grossly disproportionate number of the people making decisions about Europe’s future have no direct personal stake in that future.”
