It's time to pull over and change the air in your head!
LOL You have no shame, more evidence of your Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
"You have no shame,...."
And you have no intellect.
The proof, of course, is that irritation and ire over the OP brought you out of your oubliette (better look that up, you dunce) yet you have been unable to dispute anything in that amazingly well constructed exposition.
And....when asked what is obvious from your post....this....
...What is the reason you imbeciles....er, Liberals....always take the side of predators and perpetrators over innocent Americans????
....you slithered off and hid?
Nope, I had dinner with my wife, walked the dog, watched some baseball and we then went to bed at 0930 and read for a while. This morning I fed the dog, took her out to use the facilities and made coffee.
BTW, there are no Conservatives I would kill, many are already brain dead. Serious question, how do you feel about the realpolitik?
Example: Your ideology is neither moral nor is it pragmatic. You play a zero sum game which you never win, but pretend you do. Your behavior on line was aptly described in Eric Berne's book Games People Play.

More evidence my evaluation of you is spot on: Arrogant, Self Serving, Schadenfreude Hole, or when used as an acronym, an asshole.
It's why Islam and Democrats are strange bedfellows.The infidel are those that don't believe in God. How many liberals on this board don't believe in God? Muslims have no problem with beheading the infidels, since the time I spent in Saudi Arabia, plenty went to the chopping block.First, the number of pertinent groups...then the view on homicide.
1. "US Conservatives Outnumber Liberals by Narrowing Margin JANUARY 3, 2017
US Conservatives Outnumber Liberals by Narrowing Margin
- 36% of Americans now conservative, 25% liberal
- Liberal figure has inched up from 17% in 1990s
- Conservatives mainly steady, while moderates decline
2. Since about 130 million votes were cast in the last presidential election ... More votes were cast in 2016 than in 2012 — but that doesn’t mean turnout was great
....that would translate to about 46.8 million conservatives.
How would you react if poll of conservatives found that over 9 million of 'em were perfectly fine with killing......slaughtering......any who didn't agree with conservative viewpoints????
Have you ever heard such killings voiced or approved by conservatives?
3.That's a serious consideration, and it's evidence of the insanity of Democrats/Liberals. Here's why:
"When asked whether targeting and killing civilians can be justified to further a political, social or religious cause, 84% of U.S. Muslims say such tactics can rarely (8%) or never (76%) be justified, while 12% say such violence can sometimes (7%) or often (5%) be justified."
U.S. Muslims Concerned About Their Place in Society, but Continue to Believe in the American Dream
4. For specific context,
"... President Barack Obama stated that “Over [the] last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”
Talk about something actually deserving of being labeled as “fake news.”
When President George W. Bush left office, the U.S. had faced 28 Islamist plots after 9/11, only one of which was successful. Now there have been 93 Islamist plots since 9/11, and 14 successful attacks.
.... the vast majority of the terror plots and all of the successful attacks since 9/11 have involved homegrown terrorists—that is, terrorists who radicalized and plotted here in the U.S.
The threat has morphed and the U.S. must now do more to counter homegrown and lone wolf Islamist terrorists.
Obama’s comment obscures the truth that in his eight years in office, as shown by the sharp increase in the number of Islamist plots and successful attacks, the homeland has been less safe.
Claiming victory while the U.S. is in the most active period of terrorist activity since 9/11 is not only pushing a false narrative, but it risks diverting our attention from what needs to be done to defend the U.S. homeland."

5. Now...how does this amount to the insanity of Democrats/Liberals?
"Immigraton To Swell Muslim Population to 6.2 Million
According to U.S. Census Data, the United States admits roughly 100,000 Muslim immigrants legally each year, representing the fastest growing block of immigration into the United States. Tennessee, in fact, is home to one of the fastest growing immigrant populations in the country, causing thePresident to give a recent speech there in favor of expansive immigration.
This demographic change is entirely the product of legal admissions–that is, it is a formal policy of the federal government adopted by Congress.
Another major source of Middle Eastern immigration into the United States is done through our nation’s refugee program. Every year the United Stated admits 70,000 asylees and refugees.Arabic is the most common language spoken by refugees, and 91.4 percent of refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps.
The importation of Middle Eastern immigrants through the nation’s refugee program has led to the development of pockets of radicalized communities throughout the United States." Immigration to Swell U.S. Muslim Population to 6.2 Million - Breitbart

Both see freedom as a threat.
The reason why liberals love Radical Muslims, is that both want humans to die. Liberals do it because that would mean less CO2, while Muslims do it because those they kill don't believe in Sharia. Both have the same effect but like with Hitler and Stalin, both started with Socialism and ended up fighting each other, because one Socialist wanted to do it better than the other. It will happen the same with Islam and Liberalism, if they ever are the last on the planet, it will Muslims killing liberals, as the pansy ass liberal would rather die, than be thought of Muslims haters. Self destruction is the way of liberals, but they want others to go first."so"
And explain how many of these "plots" were successful and carried out by:
- Native born Americans
- Adults brought to the US as children
- Plots carried out with guns
- Plots by single actors
- Plots by liberals or progressive
- Plots by religious zealots, aka conservatives

Why the hell should we let criminals affect our policies? The shits couldn't follow the law, why should they be involved in voting? I consider that as part of the price for committing crimes; "civil death" is the official term. - Felony disenfranchisement - Wikipedia

Anti suffrage is anti democratic, and a goal of the Republican Party's conservative wing. We punish people by fines or a loss of liberty (jail/prison); those who advocate taking away the right to vote is voter suppression, plain and simple; a necessary component of the Republican's goal of keeping sole power over We the People.
Universal suffrage is one of the great checks and balances in our nation's long history of stability in government. Power transfers back and forth, when the party in power overreaches and becomes too authoritarian and too insulated from the people, they will seek change.
During the past six months, more and more citizens have lost faith in the Executive and Legislative Branches, and if not corrected we can expect a sea change once again in Nov. 2018.

of course people serv ing time, people who have already voted in antoher jurisdiction and illegals shouldnt be voting. but if someone is free, not in jail, not on parole, they should have all the rights as anyone else...if they are too incompetent or dangerous to have those rights, they belong locked up. period. no exceptions.The only people the Conservatives want to take the "right to vote" away from, are Felons, illegals, and those who have voted in another jurisdiction.

You would lose that bet. The only restriction on the rights of a felon that I would support is to deny a violent felon the right to own, possess or have in his or her custody and control a gun.
However, California made a major adjustment in the late 70's which in my experience created serious problems. Before these "reforms", for example, a 459 PC (burglary) had a sentence range of 5 years to life. Parole could be granted for good time, allowing the parole authority to release the convict after serving half that time (2.5 years); however, the offender could remain on parole for life.
After serving time and being paroled the offender had Terms and Conditions to follow. If s/he violated any Term or Condition the parolee could be returned to prison after a Morrissey Hearing (see: Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471 (1972)) without the cost of a trail for a short stint, or for life.
The down side to the "reform" left prisoners with no motivation to cooperate with the staff or institution, and they had no goal since their 'date' was fixed by the legislature. The Consequence being the rise of prison gangs, higher rates of recidivism and since parole was "reformed" too, and was only for six months.
Why? You want them to have all rights of a free man, why not the right to own a gun? Are you a fucking hypocrite? Yes you are...You would lose that bet. The only restriction on the rights of a felon that I would support is to deny a violent felon the right to own, possess or have in his or her custody and control a gun.
in those cases, at least many of them...life imprinonment or the death penalty is called forEven if that person took the rights away from someone else, or worse, the other persons life?of course people serv ing time, people who have already voted in antoher jurisdiction and illegals shouldnt be voting. but if someone is free, not in jail, not on parole, they should have all the rights as anyone else...if they are too incompetent or dangerous to have those rights, they belong locked up. period. no exceptions.The only people the Conservatives want to take the "right to vote" away from, are Felons, illegals, and those who have voted in another jurisdiction.
