Thread: A Civil Discussion?

They gonna shove the old poot down our throats again.
People COULD really wake up, you know?

Oh yeah......Nobody debates Biden. It has been decreed...

Bidens no more than a puppet, to those pulling the strings

Oh to only have a choice of right or left again.
Up here we have right, left, and more left.
And our minority left is still being propped up by our more left NDP party despite everything shifty our PM and his ilk have and are still doing.

Unless he dies or falls and can't get up (har har) he will either be in the old folks home or running for President probably unopposed on the Dems side.

Personally, I'd like to see The Donald and Uncle Joe duc it out with lightsabers.

Slightly off topic.

i always thought that the President had to clean as the driven snow.

It turns out that a person can become President with a criminal record, even prison time.

I find it astounding, a person out of prison cant get a halfway decent job - but he can be President of the US.

My mind is officially blown

When the Founding Fathers created the system they ASSumed whoever would be President would be someone beyond reproach (har har) so there are no rules or regulations to check what someone can or can't do before during or after being President. Even if someone were in prison for life they could still get elected and run the country from "The Joint".

My how the world changes over the centuries eh?

Right now, I am a one issue voter. Our governor pulls a lot of strings backstage and he even has the rebooblicans dancing his way. Once again, Constitutional Carry was set to pass, even with the dummycrat governor's veto, but the RINOS that obey his commands hamstrung the bill at every opportunity, and the author saw it was futile with only two days left in session, and still stuck in a senate committee getting ammended right and left so that the voters would hate it and it would have to go back to the House for a vote since the bill is changed. He is term limited and he gets kicked to the curb in January, and I doubt we will see a dummycrat governor in Louisiana for the next 100 years. Next year the same Rep will run the same bill just like every year up to now, and next year it will pass, and the governor will sign it in a big fancy ceremony. Meanwhile, that is my one and only issue, our RTKBA without infringement. The candidate who has ever voted against our most basic civil right will never get my vote, no matter what party or other affiliation he might have. I would vote for Ronald McDonald first. We need to break what remains of the left's power to dictate an individual's own personal affairs once and for all, starting with the RTKBA. So I have to wait and see what develops. When it gets closer to election time I will decide who I vote for and who I support outside the voting booth. But no anti-liberty anti-American anti-Constitutional gun grabber will get my vote no matter how clean his criminal record is or how many potholes he has filled or how many little old ladies he has helped across the street or how many babies he has kissed or how many cats he got out of trees over the weekend or even if it is a she or a he or uncommitted. Okay that's my rant. If someone else feels differently, that's fine. I can celebrate diversity just like the next person and it is a free country and I won't presume to tell anyone what to think. But I'll say this... it would be nice to get a president who doesn't fall, trip, stumble, mutter or stutter or wander off topic in the middle of a word.

I wish our votes actually counted, CCR. They let us vote, to make us feel like we still have control of such a thing.

Governments are all about control, and they forever crave more and more. Our government was originally set up as a convenience to The People, to manage national defense, foreign affairs, taxation and infrastructure, and a justice system. Safeguards were put into place to ensure that rather than RULING The People like most governments, ours would simply govern, with the consent of the governed, and The People would always be more powerful than government. It didn't work. Government gets mroe and more intrusive, and seeks more and more control over the personal affairs of the individual. And it's not just one party, either. Not much we can do about it. Unfortunately, decent Americans would never stoop to running for political office, and if they did, they would be tainted and assimilated into the system anyhow. There's no cure for it except to vote for the least evil person on the ballot. Meanwhile they dictate what will be taught in our schools, what personal property it is okay to own, what we may say and do whether it harms another individual or not, and create more bloat, more useless unproductive bureaucratic positions where people can exercise arbitrary power over us, (Think "ATF" if you struggle to find an example.) Government thrives on the individual's helplessness and reliance on government. Power begets more power. Congresscritters feel like they must DO something even when there is nothing that needs doing. Personal liberty has been sacrificed on the alter of the nanny state. Patriotism is on the verge of being criminalized while crime is on the verge of being legalized. Okay I have to go pick tomatoes now. Before they make growing them without a license illegal.
