Discussing politics and religion

[Mark Brown]

This world is messed up beyond belief and the dems have created such division with their us/them attitude.

I try and stay out of this sortie.... but you literally just called out a specific group for an us/them mentality... while clearly making the distinction yourself.
That's the people, everyone just thinks everyone else is evil, wrong and intolerant. The whole bloody works is.

Well, the Democrats have started an assault on the 1st and 2nd amendments, what is next?

 

[MikeAntonetti]

Round these parts there’s some kind of Civil War re enactment. Kinda weird why you would reenact a war you lost and most have moved on.

maybe they’re preparing gotta plead ignorant on that one,

Just history. Why are Democrats so afraid of history? Maybe because they were the party of slavery?

I agree that it takes both sides to find a common denominator, and go forward from there. I just feel fortunate that I have less time on earth, but feel sorry for my grandkids.

 

[havasu]

True that.
Speaking of the Civil War, I have relatives that fought on both sides, including a general for the North. Then again, I hear many had relatives who fought against each other.

 

[Floorist]

My home town was neutral, and the north still burned it to the ground.

my have things changed. Democrats have done many things for the blue collar worker. And FDR as well. The word Afraid , sorry, the word is almost meaningless to me. I’m worried that nothing scares me.

 

[Mark Brown]

I am always blown away with how much Civil War commemoration there is in the United States. I understand people are proud of their ancestors and what have you, and their past but man, why would you ever want to give such a place of pride to something that literally tore a country in two?
Clearly, I do not understand something and I do mean no offence, it just really is something that surprises me. I don't even like to remember fights I had with the wife, mostly because she wins.

As I've believed all along, some of the statues represented a bad time in our country. Leaving them up allows us to explain to our children and grandchildren what exactly happened, why it happened, and to make sure it never happens again. To destroy all is akin to just burning every history book, which seems to be the direction the liberals want to go. Makes no sense to an old guy like me.

We blasted the Taliban for the same thing.

Hey ! Sounds like we need a break from politics + religion. Hit the re-set button and go have some fun with the grand kids, then share something funny. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to have at it again, probably not me, but maybe ....... I bet you we can’t go 3 days with a re-direct, lighten the mood, good stories ? ......I’ll start, this past weekend a 4 year old girl came to visit with her mom and I got to play pretend Grandpa. We played “ I Spy”. Went on a hay ride ( brother was going tooo fast on the four wheeler) and I won her a stuffed animal from one of those ‘ Claw ‘ catching games. .....ok your turn, commence operation redirect !

 

[Floorist]

I have 12 grandkids and 3 great grandkids, but when my daughter was babysitting a 4 year old, she started calling me old papa. So I made her a child's rocking chair in my shop for Christmas.

 

[Mark Brown]

I love you Mike. I hope you know.
You always had a heart buddy

 

[MikeAntonetti]

Man I forgot that was you (MSLI) Mike, thought it was a rep. You need to post more often, I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday, or should my wife make it more memorable.

I don’t know, couple minutes has passed, not feelin it, starting to shake.

 

[C.J.]

I always leave early for my jobs and fart around somewhere for a few. That way I’m never late for my 8 o’clock door knock. So today I’m eatin my McDonald’s and started counting all the old people cruisin around in golf carts. Saw 9 of em in a half hour and not all of em were golfing.

 

[DarisMulkin]

Just think CJ in a few short years that may be you cruising in a golf cart.

So you’re watching the hearing on capital hill and you condone the actions of the citizens against the Capital police? Just curious how you defend those actions.

The Democrats had turned it into theater. They're trying to make this look worse than 9/11.
They have data on the people that walked in and protested and they have the information on the people that got violent. The protesters did not bring guns so this was obvious enough an attempt to overthrow the government.
What is hearing should be about is why the capital police were totally absent at the Capitol that day. They were one by the FBI the CIA and the New York Police Department that there could be issues happening that day......
.....and how did they prepare for the possible violence that they were warned about well in advance?

 

[highup]

If the Democrats get their way, it will soon be illegal to disagree with them.

It already is on Facebook and YouTube isn't it?
