'Murica! (101 Viewers)

[Fr3sh]

Guess what? The KKK only supported the women's sufferage movement because they opposed alcohol. The KKK opposed alcohol because they said the immigrants brought it in. Go figure.

Seriously?! Had no idea!!

Let's just open a thread for Andrea already

He deserves one

Andrea doesn’t like people labelling him and “putting him a box”. But he accuses all of us of being liberal, atheist, PC, tree hugging fairies who want to take away his guns and muh freedom of speech.

Which is ironic, because he supports a president who has constantly tried to undermine the freedom of the press since day one.

 

[Juvellino]

Not denying that the Democratic party has had a shady past or that Lincoln was a Republican. It has nothing to do with the parties' current platforms however.
By the way, I'm no Democrat. The Democrats are a corrupt, lying, morally suspect group of individuals. The Republicans more so.

The real crime is being done to Bernabro's thread.. I love Xim leave xir thread him alone!

He'll read this and send a full years worth of his salary to all the illegals, niggers and sexual deviants living in AC's neighborhood

A handgun sure, but assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons?

I agree to some extent but almost all handguns are semi auto

Handguns are by far the most dangerous of all and its not even debatle. Any sketchy fucker on a street corner can just be sitting there with one concealed in their waistband all day and nobody is the wiser.

If anything should be illegal it is a gun that can fit in your pocket and take anywhere stop drinking the anti assault weapon kool aid.

Even in America where all the media coverage over gun violence relates to a handful oh high profile incidents where white kids get killed with assault weapons they are statistically completely insignificant to actual gun violence numbers. Going by the numbers, gun violence is all handguns, all of it.

The perpetrators and victims are lower class and aren't white though so a lot less coverage.

That is true. Policy wise, stopping handguns is way harder though.

So why don’t the Democrats and the democrat controlled media speak on this ? Chicago, Camden, parts of Atlanta , Detroit ? Could it be because these are all democratic strongholds ? Could it be that the plantations as they call them are the way they want them ? Could it be that the gun control argument is more about controlling the citizenry and not the guns?

You guys think I’m a cold heartless asshole. The reality is I’m not. I wish the world wasn’t full of greed and corruption and that all people were treated and loved equally but it’s impossible. People of power get corrupted and it’s pretty much always. That’s why communism will never work or socialism because the people with the power get corrupted.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

That’s what they call them man look it up. I’m not saying it just explaining something.

Look at the opiate crisis. There has been a drug problem in America for decades but it wasn't the crisis it is now until large numbers of soccer moms and upper middle class kids where oxy addicts.

Honest question. Do you really think Trump isn't corrupt?

 

[AndreaCristiano]

I think all politicians are. That’s why they are politicians. No one becomes a politician if they aren’t.

Can we move this discussion? I’m actually enjoying it. Even with the mockery

Caused largely by under-regulated greedy pharma companies who failed to disclose the dangers of opiate consumption. Free market FTW.

Have to sign up for a stitcher account but will def listen. I use the iTunes podcast and overcast for mine

I think the opioid problem is multi faceted. Part is ease of access
Part is bad parenting
Part is kids being bored as hell
Part is low self esteem and self worth
