Haha.... hoo boy...

NRA board member and noted coward Ted Nugent says liberals, Democrats, RINOs, the media, Hollywood, academia, and half the government should literally be murdered on sight.

That's not an exaggeration, not taken out of context... he literally said exactly that.



I don't remember anyone upset by the following:

Quote: Romes

At the end of the day there's a difference... Back when we fought the nazi's, or the confederates, there wasn't the ability to mass organize and communicate as there is today. A lot of people couldn't hear about all of the evil things they did. That took years and years of understanding, uncovering, and reading/watching/learning to truly get the evil that they are. NOW, today, we know that evil, and we know what it must be met with in order to defeat it. There is no bargaining, reasoning, etc. It must be destroyed. Eventually, you can't talk a bully down anymore...

Sure, many of us can sit here and say "If I was alive during the civil war I would have fought against the racists as well." Well, here we are. We have them organizing and marching spewing hatred and directly sharing their plans to "ethnic cleanse" the US. The difference today is, we've seen this happen and UNLIKE in the past we know what kind of evil this is... and what it takes to defeat it.

Neo-Nazi and Racist KKK empathizers will need to be killed, just as they were in the war. That's what it came to. You can talk on both sides all you want, with neither side convincing the other, but in the end, it came down to a WAR. That's what it will take today to end it. That's what we need. That's what will "eventually" happen.

The likes of these neo-nazi and racist hate mongers needs to be met with harsh and cold physical justice. There is no pretty way to say it. There is no way around it. We've been down this path before and we saw where it led. So when they gather hundreds/thousands together, with guns, riot gear, spewing their hate and filth, yes, yes they should be attacked. Yes we should meet their evil in the streets head on to declare that this country will not harbor nor support the kind of rhetoric they spew. They need to be met with reality, which is we've defeated you once, and we will defeat you again. It's nothing more than the war continuing due to generation after generation being taught to hate for reasons no more than race, religion, and sexual orientation. They are evil. That's what they deserve. That is justice, irregardless of your race, religion, or your political affiliation.

For the record.,

Nugent say liberals, Democrats, RINOs, the media, Hollywood, academia, and half the government should literally be murdered on sight.

Rome says Neo-Nazis, Racist KKK sympathizers. Romes didn't say Republicans, DINOs, alternate media, Non-Hollywood, the unstudied, and other half of government.

Also he didn't say murdered on sight.

Both are extreme but they're not the same unless you want to claim the right is entirely just neo-Nazis and KKK or sympathizers.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

The NRA wants armed teachers
yet
Guns are banned from Mike Pence's NRA appearance?
Hmm
Mike Pence is to valuable but kids are not
I would expect everybody at an NRA convention to be armed to the teeth to prevent gun violence
NRA talks the talk but they certainly don't walk the walk
Can somebody on the right explain the logic to me. Armed teachers but a gunless convention
WTF

This is standard for every head of state. Those types kinda have a lot of security. Even freedom of movement is suspended within their realm.

the FBI just released a report indicating that 2017 had the greatest number of active shootings since record keeping began in the year 2000.

An active shooter is defined by the FBI as someone actively killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.

"He added the rise could be blamed on a number of things, including video games, accessibility to guns, copycats, the news cycle and the Web."

Video games??? Haha... okay.

He's right about the Web, though. The Internet is a huge contributor to many problems. And the news.

Normally, I might agree with that, but you forget that Bernie Sanders pretty much says everything young voters want to hear - "Free college tuition! (Never mind that you still have to pay for room and board, and books...) Free healthcare for all! Tax the rich, and pretty much every 401(k) in the country - er, uh 'speculators'!" Add, "Stricter gun laws - going to school should not be Russian roulette!," and now you have a reason for a lot of these kids who probably would have stayed home on election day to show up - and if enough of them vote for Bernie-plan supporters in 2018, he has a foot in the door in 2020 to get his ideas passed into law.


Tell us something that wasn't obvious long before this march. To be fair, you now have to consider the Senate in play as well.



Sure terapined.
Sure ThatDontGuy.

Just like Hillary was gonna run away with the 2016 election.

Sorry, but all those people that said no to liberalism/socialism/communism and elected Trump are still out there and will keep voting.
The Democrats are gonna be in the desert for a long time. Watch.


I'm looking to watch you lose money
I am willing to bet that the Dems take the House
Bet?
By the way if we do bet, need a long time member to vouch for you



I know no one here. I'm willing to put up $100 in cash by mail today if you will do the same with someone here that we both agree upon and they are willing to hold the cash and distribute to the winner. The bet between WellWellWell and terapined is whether the Democrats take control of the US House in the November 2018 elections. I say no. You say yes.


I agree to the bet
Anybody want to hold the money?
Wiz? Mission? Axel? Soopoo? Face? BBB?



Great.
I have Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters on my side.
How can I lose?


Want to add more to the bet?
I believe Nancy and Maxine will win their seats
Are you willing to take the no?

Still looking for somebody to hold the money on the House bet between wellwellwell and terapined
There are lots of members on this site I trust including many conservatives




Hmm
Didn't Trump go hard after Pelosi and Maxine at a recent rally in PA due to a special election for a house seat in Trump country he won by 20 points
That campaign fodder was so underwhelming, a Dem won
How do you explain that?
ROTFL
A trusted member (AcesAndEights) has contacted you regarding holding our bets
You talk the talk
Lets see if you will walk the walk.



Oh you mean the special election where the seat goes away after this session and the incumbent has to run in another district?
I vote every election. I probably wouldn't have wasted the time to vote in that one. It was meaningless. Wait until it's for all the marbles and Trump fires up the "basket of deplorables" again.

I emailed AcesAndEights several hours ago. My PayPal account is now set up and ready to make the transfer.



I see you kept your end of the deal
Wellwellwell is walking the walk. Count me impressed.
Just sent my 100.00
May the best party win
terapined and Wellwellwell have a bet
The USA House of Representatives this fall.
Every seat up for grabs.
My 100 says the Dems take back the House
Wellwellwell's 100 says the Republicans keep their majority
May the best party win
Shout out to AcesAndEights for holding the bet. Appreciate it



Just a reminder post I have a bet out there that will resolved in less then a month
I like my chances
Any other takers? ROTFL

I don't have time to read your whole compilation. I will bet you that the United States Senate does not have 51 or more Democrats after this November's election. Any amount you want. Just let me know.

I expect the House to be slightly Democrat after this election.

The interesting bet will be "What will be the first piece of legislation that the Democrat House and Republican Senate agree on, and Trump actually signs?"

If I am wrong and the Senate and House both go Democrat, how many vetos will Trump use before he signs a single bill into law?

Let the record show I have received $100 each from terapined and wellwellwell. At the conclusion of the 2018 midterms I will remand the full $200 to the winner: terapined if the Dems take the house; wellwellwell if the GOP maintains control. Since there is an odd number of seats, shouldn't be any reason for a push.

Happy to provide this service if anyone else needs an escrow account.



Just a reminder post I have a bet on this site that will be resolved next week
100.00 on Dems taking the house
I am feeling really good about this bet.
Sure I could lose but as the Wiz says, its not whether you win or lose, its if you made a good bet
Still a little time left. Any more conservatives want any action on this? ROTFL

Yeah, I have to agree that video games are a contributing factor. There's a total immersion factor, where all your senses are involved in huge adrenalin rush activities, isolated from the world around you. The games are built to encourage/manipulate you to keep trying after you get killed, buy stronger abilities, support your virtual team, to where people are programming their brains with repetitive killing.

Gamers are also being taught to see other people as expendible, unreal, distant targets, and to resolve everything on a "Shoot first and let God sort it out". And most of them are in their impressionable years at the time they get involved, from 8 to 25 or so.

Do this a couple hours a day for several years (and many are on much more than that) and it CAN create a strong tendency to change your worldview. Not saying it does for everyone, or even a majority, but in the background profile of nearly all these mass killings, there's an indication they played.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I don't buy that at all
I play some of the most violent video games on the market
Currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
I've shot many people to death. Strangled people to death. beat up people to death.
I've killed so many people in RDR2, I cant keep count. Maybe a hundred, give or take a few.
I've actually killed people by mistake in the game, afterwards loot the body. I make a mistake, might as well get something out of it.
Its just a fantasy akin to watching violent tv shows and movies growing up.
But in real life reality

Disagree. Fun fact: I play a lot of video games. I never killed anyone

Also very scapegoaty to say video games are contributing factor for gun violence.

If someone can pass the tipping point to killing just by playing video games, then there was already something wrong with that person to begin with. Saying video games are the problem is just a cop-out answer to a difficult problem that may not even have an answer.

I wouldn't call video games THE problem, but they can be problematic for a portion of the population.
For many others, they help develop real world skills.

There's a difference between talking someone into buying a Coke and talking someone into killing someone else.

Most things you see commercials for are things that people are going to buy anyway; i.e., food products, clothes, medicine, entertainment, etc. The commercial is there more to influence a person to buy a specific product within those genres, and not to buy them in the first place.

Most people aren't predisposed to want to kill someone, so violent video games/movies/music/etc. aren't really going to have much of an influence in that regard.

Do this a couple hours a day for several years (and many are on much more than that) and it CAN create a strong tendency to change your worldview. Not saying it does for everyone, or even a majority, but in the background profile of nearly all these mass killings, there's an indication they played.

Nothing happens in isolation. What I'm saying is that SOME non-zero amount of guys who are drawn to violent video games are perhaps being influenced by them.

If they are bullied loners and get enjoyment or their social life from killing-themed games, it CAN reinforce their sense of apartness, give a compensating vicarious victory when the rest of their life sucks, reinforce or justify paranoid or psychotic tendencies, whatever.

It can also be a catharsis, like watching horror movies, for the vast number of people who do. And then you get the 11 and 12 yo girls in Florida last week, who after watching a Satanic cult movie, brought butcher knives and scissors to school, then laid in wait for younger kids to come into the bathroom.

The plan was to kill the little girls, drink their blood, eat their flesh, pile up the bodies in one of the stalla until they had 15 to 25 of them, then commit ritual suicide.

A teacher intercepted a message between them somehow and found them, armed and ready, in the bathroom, waiting for their first victim.

There are a lot of people out there, twisted like that. Video gaming, social media, and popular culture sometimes reinforces or expands the crazy. That's all I'm saying.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Too busy playing Red Dead Redemption 2 :-)



I saw it being streamed on twitch and it looks like a fun game. I'm not really into westerns so I'll pass.

Don't be so sure about that;

Severe climate events could cause shortages in the global beer supply, which was likely to result in “dramatic” falls in consumption and rise in prices of the most popular alcoholic drink in the world, a study said.

The finding, published in journal Nature Plants, warned that widespread and severe drought and heat could cause substantial decreases in barley yields worldwide, affecting the supply used to make beer.

How do we speed up this process, then? I’ll throw down on some unregulated hair spray and go to town if that’s what it takes. Lmk

Edit: Marijuana, more colloquially known as “weed” or “marijuana tablets” in some circles, is properly named the devil’s lettuce for a reason.

I'm quite certain that there are dozens of marijuana users in the caravan , all of whom would engage in social intercourse with our women and kids if not stopped.

Priorities. I say let them in as my undocumented house cleaner is now charging me $110 to clean my house. We need more competition.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Move to Honduras. You can buy a house for $110.
