Every time the First Amendment is brought up, my eye twitches. Its annoying to see the best amendment bastardized like this.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

IIRC Nazi Germany actually made it easier for Germans to own guns. It was really only those they deemed undesirables and those in occupied areas that they took guns from.

I know I'm not religious, but don't they get tired of constantly talking about God? I don't think God is giving out heaven tallies every time his name is mentioned.

Ridiculous. That would imply they're competent and performing a useful function.

(Contrary to popular opinion, the Maginot Line worked exactly as planned, it was merely the French leadership's decision to shit themselves that led to the Fall of France, but I digress).

I'm getting irritated and tuning them out each and every time they talk about God.

Seriously, how delusional does someone have to be to believe God will somehow save them from their own stupidity?! Personal responsibility is a thing, even in Christianity.

Oh, well, I didn't know that. I can't wait for these guys to endorse the Sioux, the Comanche, and all the other Plains Indians tribes who fought the US Army, burned down forts and outposts, and stole their horses.


You don't even have to get into the 19th century stuff when they were burning forts. The Sioux have some ongoing thing bitching at the federal government about some of their old land that they want returned.

I haven't seen these guys backing them up.
