its so frustrating ... you just keep on keeping on believing whatever nonsense you wish. the MIC was not an issue until and after ww2 and Eisenhower

and as far as the founders"

Altho' a large standing Army in time of Peace hath ever been considered dangerous to the liberties of a Country, yet a few Troops, under certain circumstances, are not only safe, but indispensably necessary. Fortunately for us our relative situation requires but few."

First, strict German gun regulation was in place before Hitler rose to power and he later oversaw gun laws that loosened many firearm restrictions.

"the small number of personal firearms in the hands of the small number of Germany’s Jews (about 214,000) remaining in Germany in 1938 could in no way have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi German state."

1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising as evidence that Jews with guns were successful in resisting Nazis. But, in that uprising, about 7,000 Jews died and 50,000 were sent off to concentration camps. Though the number of German losses from the uprising is in dispute -- ranging from estimates of less than 20 to a several hundred -- even the highest ranges come to just a fraction of the number of Jews who died.

This theory has been repeatedly debunked and refuted. German citizens as a whole were not disarmed by the Nazis, but enjoyed looser gun restrictions than in previous years. There was no lack of guns in the country, and if German citizens had wanted to use guns to revolt against the Nazis they could have, but they didn’t.

As well, comparing a dictator’s regime that treated weapon possession according to racial identity to democratic procedures of gun regulations is irresponsible.

Turner diaries? Ted? Google useful idiots, you are being played. And remember in every commie revolution the useful idiots are the first to be exterminated because they become useless idiots. At least they make you feel good about yourself and call it a purge of the intellectuals. Look up Mao's CULTural Revolution for just one example. It happened in my lifetime- I even talked to peole who escaped it.

You can google- search 1963 Communist Goals.

I'm 68. My Dad was a college professor. He was a track coach as well, coached any kid with the desire to national championships regardless of race. Was furious when the Democrat coach would stop for dinner and go ahead and dine in restaurants that refused to serve their black athletes. Yeah, the Democrat coach sat with the white guys eating steak while my Dad sometimes got food out the backdoor for the black athletes to eat in the Checker bus, or he went to a grocery store and bought bread an lunch meat, because the Democrat white coach wouldn't stop for them to get food somewhere else. Black Panthers threatened to firebomb our house. I delivered newspapers in the men's dorms during the Moratorium. I saw first hand riots and antiwar protests. My best friend threw the rock that started the antiwar riots in Washington, DC (when asked why he did itm he said he just saw a perfect opportunity) Kent State, Weather Underground, Patty Hearst (actually met her- she has put on a lot and I mean a lot of weight since then). Yeah when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened I rode around with the adults looking at all the missiles sticking out of the Minuteman Missile silos where we lived in the heartland. Came home from school and watched all the news about the Kennedy assassination, was watching live news a few days and saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. Remember when Rosie Grier tackled Sirhan Sirhan in the restaurant where he killed Bobby Kennedy? MLK? My Dad cried when we heard, we ended our vacation and went home so he could see all the news.

No party hack, firm defender of the Consitution. Republicans are all part of the destruction of the US right beside the Democrats. Both parties have people who stand on what they believe are the principles of the parties, most buckle under for the bonus cash.
I stopped reading novels about 50 years ago and voraciously read histories with a few commentaries thrown in for perspectives.
The truth has no party barriers or exclusivity.
I don't get my information from twitter or fakebook or any social media site. Just to save you posting social media links for my benefit.
So why do I play on imgflip? Primarily to fill in gaps in Constitutionalist thinking and to educate young ones on the real dangers of the socialist mindset. Much of what I preach was told me by refugees from the old USSR, Cuba, Central and South America, Vietnam, China, Romania, Korea, and other Eastern Bloc nations. I don't accept what they say without confirming the facts, which virtually no one in media does these days. They confirm stuff in the social media echo chamber.
I take you as a serious thinker, we obviously view from opposite ends of the spectrum, so I sincerely want to know your thoughts on the Cultural Revolution in China. If I could (and I acknowledge that this could be considered a social media site) recommend a youtube video, I would be fascinated to hear your perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgbNku6aAWY It is 76 minutes long, but presented in a very rational line of thinking with compelling facts and applies to the coming surveilance society. Please watch it and tell me your thoughts. It's not often that I encounter people from the left with a reasoned basis for what they believe. For that reason, I would like to know what you think. It's a big ask, but I think you'll find a number of valuable takeaways regardless of political views.

When I grew up the only racists I ever saw were Democrats. They convinced me that they were the assholes of life. They even taught me to hate evil, I've moved beyond hate now. Edify, much more gratifying. The bias I hold was earned by their actions. For what it's worth, my great great grandfather was conscripted by the confederates, deserted and joined the Union Army and fought the entire Civil War. Lost a leg, lost his farm, lost everything to end slavery. That tradition is part of my family's DNA. Call it bias if you want. My Dad lost a tooth standing between a black girl and school boys throwing rocks at her in th 40s. I've taken some lumps and bruises standing up for the right thing, and damn it, my oldest grandson just did the same biased stuff standing up for a kid (race doesn't matter when it doesn't matter). Fortunatley for him I gave him some helpful hand to hand tips that shut the whole thing down quickly. Didn't hurt that he is 6-4 and 230#. He still got some bruises, but he said he would do it again in a heartbeat even if it meant a beating. Yup, I'm biased. Against lies, evil and communists.

Well we are making progress, we still have some work to do.

"When I grew up the only racists I ever saw were Democrats"

No, the only racists you ever saw you 'labeled' as Democrats. Whether they were not you could not truly know.

You know how you tell a racist? they fly the confederate flag, they minimize slavery and the multigenerational harm it has done not just to the black community but America herself. Are some democrats? maybe, but its blatant and open in the maga world, hell just look at trumps base'...and dinner guests. admitted white supremacist's.

So if you can just get past the unfounded labeling that would be a huge step forward.

I understand everyone has bias, its unavoidable unless under 6 months old and prior to any outside influence. That said, its our duty to try to recognize them and reign them in when warranted.

If you are biased against lies , then you must be against trump. (too many to list)

If you are biased against evil, then you must be against trump, (lying about covid, raping little girls, gleefully admitting to assaulting more, the death of Ashley and all the hurt from Jan 6...)

If you are against communists... so long as stated above, you just don't go around labeling.

The communism of Mao, is different than socialism, and even within the communism of 1917 Bolshevik revolution, there is a difference between Lenin communism and Trotsky communism. Its not all black and white or in neat little boxes.

and two part time jobs that paid for his room and food. When he found out the young man was not going to be home for his birhtday (Maryland- we were in Nebraska) he invited him to our home for a birthday dinner. I was just a little turd when he knocked on the door and asked for our mother, she welcomed him in warmly and we had a meal and enjoyed the cake she had prepared for him- 3 little kids singing happy birthday. The way I was brought up I never saw race, seriously. I played with anyone who wanted to play. It wasn't until democrats demonstrated the entirely unscientific concept to me that I understood some people were less than human becasue of the color of their skin. I never bought it for a second.
Most of my friends are (were) illegal immigrants. I speak and read Spanish reasonably well. I helped a number of refugees from communist central American countries become legal, even housed several with my family until we could get them established. I've heard every unimaginable atrocity you could think of in graphic detail. They can call themselves socialists. progressives or whatever, but the idiology is home to brutality, torture, murder, rape and every thing that is evil. I can't deny that or gloss it over. These facts govern my beliefs, not some symbolic elephant or donkey.

No, they were democrats, they openly said so in classes, they openly advocated for democrats in class, they were publicly active in the local and state democrat party, they were democrat delegates at conventions. They advocated democrat policies in class. The athletic director and educator of the largest school district in my county was a known KKK member. My senior English (homeroom) teacher was active in the democrat party and her husband was an elected democrat county commissioner, cheerfully announced that the state had just released information regarding the racial composition of schools and that "we should very proud that we were the largest school district in the state with no minorities." (Her precise words- I will never forget). I was furious, but I could not say a thing without consequences, so like an 18 year old idiot I sat there and kept my rage internal.
In a different school district during my grade school years, we lined up in the hall and marched to our music class to do square dancing one day a week. A very highly qualified Black Surgeon moved to our town, and one of his sons was in a grade above me and his daughter was in my class. They were the only black family in our town. We had a lot hispanics, but they were alone. I sat on the opposite side of the classroom and each week lined up beside a cute blonde girl who was my crush, but by the time we got to the music room, I was always lined up next to Tanya Inge.
As we square danced I watched every democrat boy (there was only one other republican kid in my class- everyone was openly an FDR democrat- there were only 2 I like Ike) reach out to do si do only to pull their hands back at the last second for the entire class. I held her hand and promenaded and did the whole routine as it should have been done. Meanwhile the democrat music teacher watched all of this and did nothing to intervene. I will never forget the look on her face. After that class I was shunned for the rest of the day because I had ni**er germs, that could only be prevented by crossing your fingers. Every week for a wehole year. I was in 4th grade and I was so furious with that teacher for not stopping the cruelty to that girl for a whole year.
Prior to that, my Dad was a prof at a small college who just had their first black student. My dad had black friends during WWII, by no means a racist. When he found out that the young man needed a place to stay, my Dad arranged with friends to find an apartment and two part time

Proof? One half of the people disagreeing with the other half of the population is not an insurrection. Beside that, I know people who were there. They said there were only a few people destroying anything and tehy have been identified as FBI undercover agents. You will never see that in the news. Why wouldn't Nancy Pelosi release all the Capital security tapes? If all these horrible things you believe happened are indeed facts, these tapes would provide the incriminating evidence necessary to bury everyone involved. Could it be they would bury the conspirators responsible for the "attack on freedom"?
Obviously you missed the video of the photographer and "mob" "chasing" a Capital policeman up some stairs. It is so lovely when the photographer asks the policeman to stop so he can take another photo and they all pose for the picture. Clearly misinfomation because the socialist media police took that one down. Videographer upstairs from the cop, photographer downstairs, boy those MAGA guys had it all planned out.
Why, if these egregious crimes were committed are dozens of insurrectionists still held in prisons without charges, without court appearances, without MIranda Rights?
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. You're intelligent, broaden your horizons with a little universal skepticism. Scrutinize your beleifs too, it's the only way to prove the truth, and the truth will set you free. However the J6 conspirators need to rot in jail, the truth is not free to do anything for them, but the propaganda machine bulldozer grinds on.

I met Trump 2 different times on worksites I was supervising. He was polite, courteous to every member of my staff (regardless of race). He asked excellent questions, and more impressive to me was that he listened carefully to what was said and remembered what and who said what. He wasn't a germophobe and he was a much better human being than many of the wealthy and powerful people I've worked around. Anecdotal, I know.
I worked for a brief time at the GWB White House, security clearance. Also did work at the Nevada National Security Site (old Nevada Test Site), security clearance.
Tell me your thoughts on Mao's Cultural Revolution, no security clearance necessary.

Thats nice, I am from NYC, first ran into him just as he took out a 100k full page ad calling for the execution of 5 innocent teenagers in 1989 and when he was groping women, and getting sued for not renting to black folks, and talking about his infant daughters tits on national radio, and dating his other daughter, and bragging about his fake time mag covers, walking in on naked underage girls in the pageant, when he was criminally charged along Jeff Epstein for raping a 15 yo, watched as every business not handed to him by dad, went bankrupt. every. one....... and on an on an on.,....and in a bizarre twist of irony my gf was an extra at the bottom of that escalator on that day , it was an hour gig and we going to lunch, so I hung around with her, and knew this was just another one of his publicity stunts to sell books, or classes to his fraud university or whatever scam he was going to run next, little did I know, nor was I even capable of believing, that such a low class, idiotic, foul, crooked, complete scum of the earth could get a nomination, much less steal the electoral college.

there are so many instances of his grift and sleazyness that each one just buries the last.. so many still not even mentioned, stormy, and stealing from charity and secret docs in a freaking storage unit... (yea lock 'her' up) on and on and on....

"I did not have paid extras at my announcement"........ the beginning of long long long list of flat out lies.

Knowing what I do today, my life might of taken a much different turn on that day, but America and the world would have been spared a lot needless death and pain.

A president should be leader and someone our young people can look up to... Nixon is a complete ANGEL by comparison.
