| 12:02 Great post. I will say I wouldn’t stereotype who may or may not recall the ride of Paul Revere and the history of Lexington and Concord. I smiled while reading your post recalling all of the fun projects and plays associated with the lesson throughout grammar school. Those were the days. |

I thought you guys promised me Obama would take away all the guns.
Also, aren't we all supposed to be forced into hijabs by now thanks to the Kenyan Muslim-in-Chief? |
Wrong website, Pay-Per-Poster. In 2008 Obama did fail to close the gun show loophole and hoped to get that done his second term. And I don’t know one Republican who believed we were all supposed to be forced in Hijabs by now. What websites do you frequent? Yikes. |
c'mon. There were several "Obama is a secret Muslim" conspiracy theories over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_religion_conspiracy_theories https://www.factcheck.org/2017/01/eight-years-of-trolling-obama/ Although I will admit, the dangers of the hijab have only been parroted to my by my aging, Fox News watching parents. Can't seem to find a Brietbart article to back it up, so I will withdraw the accusation. |
PS, although if you google "Breitbart + hijab" you do get pages and pages of hits about how terrible it is! Weird.... |

Why do you still have these guns? I though Obama was supposed to take them all away during the extended (to you all) time that he had a majority under him?
Fools. |
Hey, I suggest the Revolutionary War was not about guns. But, if you are heading to war with someone, you, of course, first go after their weapons and supply lines. Doesn't make the war about guns. |
Look, I went to Catholic School with nuns who wore a full habit. Religious attire and fashion is ones own perogative. |
The gun show loophole is absolutely still open. ‘Murica! https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/democrats-race-to-prove-who-hates-guns-more-in-northern-virginia-house-primary/2018/05/01/d3ad87a0-4cbb-11e8-b725-92c89fe3ca4c_story.html?utm_term=.de1eb6a7fb5f&wpisrc=nl_buzz&wpmm=1 |
But the gun grab was the event that kicked it into a shooting war. Tensions were smoldering for the years leading up to the outbreak of the war, but until the British tried to seize the Colonist's weapons, it wasn't a shooting-war. Remarkably similar to where we are right now as a country, divided ideologically into left/right camps. If the left ever finds itself truly in power, it needs to keep this lesson in mind and temper it's feverish desires to go after guns. Because that will be the act that starts the next civil war. It happened once, it will happen again. Some Americans simply will not be disarmed. Period. And they'll die (and more importantly, kill) to make that stand. It's a uniquely American trait, and still runs through perhaps 10-15% of the population. And you will *never* force 30+ million armed people to do something they don't want to do. |
Yep. Laws for thee, but not for me. |
Sadly I just can’t trust what Trump is going to do! |
The "law" required Rosa Parks to sit in the back of the bus. The "law" required Americans of Japanese ancestry to go to internment camps. The "law" prohibited alcohol because prudish temperance activists demanded it. The "law" required schools to be segregated. The "law" forbade LGBTQ persons from marrying. So, would you like to tell us all now how you were in favor of strict adherence to all those laws? No? Mmmmmmmmm, ok. |
Yeah, I don't think Rosa Parks ever threatened to murder anyone over sitting in the back of the bus, did she? |
|
Well if we're talking about murder then, how do you, as a person who likely supports gun confiscation by agents of the state, going to take those guns from people *without* murdering them?
Or is not "murder" when the state does it? Is it only murder when people resist the govt? Help me understand your assertion here, since clearly you won't address my points about which laws people pick and choose to obey or not, and why. |
