Uncle Sam has sent me everywhere you’ve never wanted to go, including 3 war zones. Proud military supporter. Unapologetically patriotic. Free speech absolutist.
Last I checked, it's not the Republicans trying to divide everyone into different racial and ethnic groups. They want everyone to be in the great melting pot that is America, to all have shared basic values while maintaining rich cultural traditions, so long as they don't infringe on people's freedoms. Whereas Democrats want you to do exactly as they say, think as they think, and do what they want, and they want a lot of your money from taxes to do so. If you disagree, they're okay being violent and telling you that you're a racist piece of garbage, despite just wanting to take care of your family. Also, if you're a straight white man, they believe that you are the center of evil and that the color of your skin tone at birth determines that you are worth less than everybody else. Nice folks, those Democrats.
According to your illogic people could, and in fact should expect, to be harmed simply for existing or speaking something somebody else doesn't like. Do you think people who are reading your words right now have a right to harm you for saying them, or do you think your free speech should be protected as much as this woman's?
@Savsays Remember, these are the people that say they want to just live in peace! I hope you get justice, but based on where the crimes took place, I think it's very unlikely, and I'm truly sorry for that.
@libsoftiktok I never understand how liberals claim they're for free speech, but as soon as you say something they don't like, they wanna end your entire way of life.
This is a great start, but I think there should be MORE accountability though . I understand we can't do what I want and make them personally responsible and culpable for the people they release, but if they meet a certain threshold, they should lose their job at the very least, seeing as they've cost people's lives. Once they have even some real skin in the game, I bet they start to rule ALOT differently.
@TheJFreakinC I'll read your posts when you show me your old ones from when you "believed all women" who claimed Biden assaulted them. Just show them to me real quick. No? Don't have any. I wonder why....when one of them even had her mom call into Larry King Live about the incident. 🤔
Agreed. I would rather we threaten to take out power plants and bridges one a day until they give up their entire nuclear program and leave the Straits alone, than us have to put boots on the ground. Anyone, yourself or any Democrat who's bitching, who has a better plan to denuclearize Iran (who is absolutely going to use a nuke as soon as they get one) please let me know what it is. Obama tried giving them money and they just used it to kill more of us.
I think the difference is that Obama actually did kill innocents. Man did ALOT of drone strikes. My understanding is that there was a horrific incident in Iran recently in which we hit a school next to a military target in Iran, and schoolgirls did die. That is absolutely horrifying, and I wish it never happened.
That said, Iran put a military target next to a school, which is fucked up to start with. Iran was the one building a nuke and threatening to use it.
It's like lighting my house on fire and then bitching that I got wet when the fire department showed up to put it out. If I light my house on fire, I am the cause. Getting wet is the effect. I am at fault. Same thing here.
Analogy number two: if your neighbor is actively putting a gun together, screaming at you that he's going to kill you as soon as he's done, you don't wait until he's done, points it at you, and pulls the trigger. You have to take action before then. That neighbor is Iran.
I have spent an unfortunate amount of time in this exact part of the world. I have sailed on ships through the Strait of Hormuz numerous times. I have been unfortunately exposed to a lot of "Death to America" chants. These people, at least the leaders, are not Fing around. Conversely the average citizen? Totally decent human being, and I don't wish this on any of them.
So what Trump did was make a threat, and we got a ceasefire out of it. Probably won't hold, honestly, but the man's trying. Being nice with a bully has never worked. It didn't work when they tried to appease Hitler. It's not going to work here. Force is the only thing a bully understands.
