So you're one of those who believes....
1. That all mature willing companions have the right to form a marriage union as they choose?
2. That because it looks evil those guns are going out and killing people in gun free zones and that banning those guns will stop it?
3. That people can break US law and stay here even though they came here illegally?
....I have more questions but we'll start with those for you to answer.
*****CHUCKLE*****
1. Yes, if the person is of the age of consent, and both parties are willing to enter into a marriage, they should be allowed to do so.
2. I have no problem with what kind of weapon you own, I do have a problem with having the ability to throw 30 rounds or more downrange before reloading. Firepower like that is only required in a combat zone.
3. If you are referring to adults who came to this country illegally? Deport them when they are caught. If you are talking about the DACA kids who didn't come here of their own choice, and have lived here almost all their lives? I think they should be afforded a path to citizenship. Either serve 4 years in the military honorably, or get a degree in a job that we need here in the US, or serve 4 years in the Peace Corps. That way, they are showing that they want to be here and will benefit this country.
Quick question for you.......................how do you feel about the veteran who was deported just a little while ago who had served 2 tours in Afghanistan serving this country? He served, got out, had PTSD and was arrested for drugs, and was then deported. Is that right?

You say you have a problem with people having weapons only appropriate to a combat zone, but the whole reason why they have them is in case their neighborhood becomes a combat zone (whether due to a foreign invader, or a tyrannical domestic power). So unless you are claiming this is an impossibility, despite it happening innumerable times throughout history, how do you justify your objection?
First, it helps to start off with the actual definition of the word, so that people who may be unfamiliar with it will know what it is and what it means.........................................

noun
1. a person, especially an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people.
2. (in ancient times) a leader of the people.
verb (used with object), demagogued, demagoguing.
3. to treat or manipulate (a political issue) in the manner of a demagogue; obscure or distort with emotionalism, prejudice, etc.
verb (used without object), demagogued, demagoguing.
4. to speak or act like a demagogue.
Okay, there it is................we all know what the definition of a demagogue is.
Have you people noticed that there are a lot of posters on here who instead of using facts and actual things happening, they instead prefer to offer up opinion, emotional language and insults?
Me? I prefer to discuss things with people who use facts, logic and reason instead of emotion, rhetoric and opinion. Even if you disagree with me, if you use facts and reason, you have a much better chance of convincing me that your side is right. And, I might even learn something new in the process and will be grateful to you for the instruction.
But you will never convince me of anything if you only use insults and opinion instead of fact.
Interestingly enough, it appears that more conservatives are demagogues than their liberal counterparts, because they appear to be more prejudiced.

You were doing fine up until that last sentence.
Look at the way most of the conservatives post, and then compare that to the way that the liberals post. I said that it looks that way because there is more emotional language and prejudice in conservative posts. Most of the right wing types on here use insults and emotional language, but don't really want to provide links or proof of their position. You ask them for links, and either they say they won't do the work for you, or they say that everyone knows it, or they respond with some type of insult and tell you that is part of the liberal playbook to ask for links and then run away.

The reason I provided the definition at the beginning of the thread is because yeah, there are people on here who don't know what the definition is. I've seen them use it wrong several times before because they didn't know what it meant, it was just a cool sounding word to them apparently.

The left are usually quick to insult, and they use emotions in most arguments. The left usually uses things like "the right wants to kill children", or, "The right wants old people to be sick" or "The right doesn't care about this or that".
Those are all arguments based on emotion, trying to affect the emotions of others.
From all of the talk radio I've listened to, the conservatives are the ones who boast freedom, self reliance, and keeping government out of people's lives and letting people reach as far as they can. Not once have I heard hannity, beck, Limbaugh, wilkow, or levin say any of the things the left claims, or even heard them elude to it.
From my perspective, the left argue from a position of emotion, and the right argues from a position of constitutionality, and logic.

....I have more questions but we'll start with those for you to answer.
*****CHUCKLE*****
1. Yes, if the person is of the age of consent, and both parties are willing to enter into a marriage, they should be allowed to do so.
2. I have no problem with what kind of weapon you own, I do have a problem with having the ability to throw 30 rounds or more downrange before reloading. Firepower like that is only required in a combat zone.
3. If you are referring to adults who came to this country illegally? Deport them when they are caught. If you are talking about the DACA kids who didn't come here of their own choice, and have lived here almost all their lives? I think they should be afforded a path to citizenship. Either serve 4 years in the military honorably, or get a degree in a job that we need here in the US, or serve 4 years in the Peace Corps. That way, they are showing that they want to be here and will benefit this country.
Quick question for you.......................how do you feel about the veteran who was deported just a little while ago who had served 2 tours in Afghanistan serving this country? He served, got out, had PTSD and was arrested for drugs, and was then deported. Is that right?

You say you have a problem with people having weapons only appropriate to a combat zone, but the whole reason why they have them is in case their neighborhood becomes a combat zone (whether due to a foreign invader, or a tyrannical domestic power). So unless you are claiming this is an impossibility, despite it happening innumerable times throughout history, how do you justify your objection?
Really? You do know we have a military to prevent that, right? When was the last time America was invaded by a foreign power? If I remember correctly, it was back in the early 1800's.
And, how exactly do you see the US becoming a tyrannical domestic power? How would that happen?
You didn't answer my question. In what kind of scenario do you see the US government becoming a tyrannical power? How would something like that occur in your estimation?
Listen to the conservative politicians sometime. They use fear as a way to sell you on the wall and spending. Matter of fact, fear is why the spending bill was passed. They didn't want the government to shut down, so they passed a huge bill with a lot of excess stuff in it that didn't need to be there. A good for instance is the part of the bill that keeps minor league baseball players as "seasonal workers" who only get 1,100/mo, even though they show up for games and practice around 60 hours a week. They aren't even making minimum wage.
So tell me, what does pay for the minor league baseball players have to do with the spending bill of this country? Quick answer, nothing. But, the lobbyists for the MLB got them to include it in this one so they could save money.
I'm sure there are some conservatives that fit the description you give, and there ate some liberals as well. You can't lump everyone together.From what I've seen since I started coming here, it's exactly opposite of what you have said.You were doing fine up until that last sentence.
Look at the way most of the conservatives post, and then compare that to the way that the liberals post. I said that it looks that way because there is more emotional language and prejudice in conservative posts. Most of the right wing types on here use insults and emotional language, but don't really want to provide links or proof of their position. You ask them for links, and either they say they won't do the work for you, or they say that everyone knows it, or they respond with some type of insult and tell you that is part of the liberal playbook to ask for links and then run away.
The left are usually quick to insult, and they use emotions in most arguments. The left usually uses things like "the right wants to kill children", or, "The right wants old people to be sick" or "The right doesn't care about this or that".
Those are all arguments based on emotion, trying to affect the emotions of others.
From all of the talk radio I've listened to, the conservatives are the ones who boast freedom, self reliance, and keeping government out of people's lives and letting people reach as far as they can. Not once have I heard hannity, beck, Limbaugh, wilkow, or levin say any of the things the left claims, or even heard them elude to it.
From my perspective, the left argue from a position of emotion, and the right argues from a position of constitutionality, and logic.
Ever read what Sassy Irish Lass posts? How about some of the other right wingers on here?
Alex Jones (who most Trump supporters appear to like), is nothing BUT a demagogue. He pumps his website with fear inducing articles and generally very little in the information department, but really heavy in the emotional department. Check out InfoWars sometime. They are a definite conservative news source.
Most of the right wing I've seen want people to advance, and become prosperous, but do so on their own, and by keeping government out of their lives.
Also, Alex jones may hold some conservative values, but I wouldn't associate him as a conservative. Most people on the right know that he is a fear mongerer.
It is unfortunate that there are a few bad apples on this forum that give the right a bad name. They are all, from what I've seen, good people who just want to abide by the constitution and allow people to be free.

I agree. I think they should shut the government down. I'm tired of them kicking the can down the road. If it were up to me, I'd throw every single one of them out if office and start over. I don't believe any of them are worthy if the office they hold.
And I also believe that lobbying should be against the law. No business should be able to influence votes. That's the job of the people.
