Will Slip turn them in

Just wondering if our very own plans on volunteering to turn in all semi automatic assault style weapons as suggested by D California - Eric Swalwell. And no, Spence is right, "they are not coming for your guns."

What assault style weapon?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

how about giving back some of our rights that have been taken away instead of proposing to take more?

I will defend the second amendment from tyrants like him

Maybe we should break up as a country. What if it can't be fixed. Maybe it is time.

The Constitution is my Hill - as well as that for many, many others - to die on, particularly WRT 1A/2A.

I have absolutely no clue what unites us anymore. When a Republican President is criticized by the left for how many times he says "America" at the state of the union, and a guy like Mitt Romney is called a sexist Neanderthal because he keeps a notebook of resumes of promising female employees, I don't know what meaning the word "united" has anymore, as it pertains to the USA. Half the country spends almost no time discussing policy or ideas, and 99% of their time telling you how evil the other side is.

It wasn't all that long ago, when the notion that people who have a wee wee should go to the men's room, wasn't a controversial thing to say. What's next? Too scary to think about.

They ought to make black guns green.
Conservatives would want nothing to do with them and liberals would want them.

How would the moocher states fix their roads w/o the $ from the left leaning donor states?

"I know look at the vitrial constantly coming out the right. They hate Blacks"

Yeah, there's ALL KINDS of evidence and facts to support that. Paul, I look at what has happened to blacks in Hartford and Bridgeport over the last 40 years, and I say that these people deserve better, so we need to try something, anything, that's different. Liberals look at Hartford and Bridgeport, and propose to continue the same exact policies that brought those cities to where they are.

"They have a Pres. whole lies multiple times a day"

You got me there. But the 2016 election was a choice between two pathological liars, not one.

"with no recourse from his base. "

Oh please. There are 3-4 people at Fox who will never stop cheerleading for him (Sean Hannity leads the pack, he is embarassing). There are others at Fox who criticize him, Megyn Kelly hated him, the National Review hates him. Trump gets recourse from republicans. You just don't hear about it on MSNBC and Al Jazeera and when you read The Daily Worker. George Will and Charles Krauthammer are both very influential, and both hated him.

If you're interested, that's why Trump won and why your candidate is wandering in the woods alone, babbling like an idiot.

always classy

Trump won by appealing to the latent racism in people and the fear in whites that they are losing out to blacks in some way.

MAGA.

"always classy"

She called me deplorable and irredeemable, sorry if I don't feel the need to be respectful to Hilary.

As to the racism issue. Can you answer a question? During the latest state of the union, when Trump announced that black unemployment was at historic lows, one side of the aisle erupted in celebration of that fact, the other side sat on their hands, miserable, with scowls on their faces.

Here is the question...why did each side respond the way they did?

"Trump won by appealing to the latent racism in people and the fear in whites that they are losing out to blacks in some way"

And that asinine assumption is based on what, exactly?

Trump at the state of the union...."something I'm very proud of...African-American unemployment stands at the lowest level ever recorded".

Obviously the man is a white supremacist, I mean obviously...

Come on, Trump stroking fear with immigrants was a big part of this election and continues to be a big part of his message.

You mean how Trump is singling out immigrants that are not here legally and have circumvented all legal means of being here? Getting in front of people doing the process correctly? Those immigrants?

Liberals hate it when people make a distinction between legal and illegal immigration.

Spence, do you teach your kids, that if they are tired of waiting in line for something, they should cut to the front? Or sneak in the back? Or otherwise cheat the people waiting patiently and following the rules? Or am I taking it all out of context?

You cannot answer every possible question, by pointing out that trump isn’t a good person. I agree he’s not, but that had absolutely nothing to do with the question I asked.
