July 28, 2015 by V the K

    These are adults? Infantile and pathetic.

    I’ll wage that if you approached either protester and politely-asked them for their names, …they’d decline and call you a fascist oppressor — or worse.

    They should be named-and-shamed as less-than-useful idiots.

    Not that I remember those times, but: The posters in this article make me think that the current USA is acting [a lot] like most of theUSA in the late 1970s. meaning:

    Most of the Democrats + the Republicans are just completely tired of the Dem. leaders’, + the Rep. leaders’, annoying habit of being obstructionist, + not trying to cooperate at all.

    I’m not saying that, “the USA needs a new President + a new congress, soon, or in 2016,”, or anything like that.

    However, I hope that the Dem.s, + Rep.s, + everyone else, will grow a new, mature, and cooperative nature, + leave the current parties’ leaders behind.

    C’est tout.

    I was listening on the radio to Hugh Hewett, and he was talking about how you need to know in detail what your opponent believes, so you can counter every argument they make, and thus, in his opinion, be able to defeat them.

    I frankly don’t think that works anymore. The left couldn’t care less about logical arguments. They go for emotional ones. To defeat them, you must be JUST as emotional, but with logic engaged, point out that their emotion is baseless, devoid of any reason or real compassion, then present your side WITH reason and compassion and just as much emotion.

    It is, unfortunately, the level we have to argue at, since emotion, rather than reason or law, is winning the day.

    If you think that is crazy… Read anti gunnner Facebook pages. Those people are completely bonkers.

    No. I want the Republican leadership to STOP going along with the democrats. If I wanted one party rule I would live in North Korea/Cuba/Venezuala. I want my government at each others throats and overturning laws, repealing laws and preventing new laws. That is what checks and balances looks like. Cooperation on something I don’t want is NOT something I want. Now, if you mean all the democrats are suddenly going to give up their positions and start cooperating with what I want, then I am all for cooperation.

    A dummy head commenting on the local newspaper Disqus forum responded my calling the subject of the article a Social Justice Warrior by saying that SJW put words in action while following the words of Jesus.

    The I pointed out the definition of a SJW… silence. Dummy head

    @ #8:

    I’m for that. That’s a good strategy. It’s good to teach the brand-new argue-ers that he, she, or they, need to build their arguments on [logic], to make their arguments in to practical arguments.
    Otherwise their arguments just make them sound like [ a big, ranting man] in the street.

    Has anyone else noticed the big angry looking guy next to Mr Poop sign? He has a gun. My guess is he could turn to Mr. Poop guy and make a very convincing argument to him on why he should just go home.

    If I just came across that photo I would assume those signs were photo shopped because no self respecting protestor would resort to third grade humor to insult Walker.

    But then I realize most progressives are stuck in middle school so third grade humor should be expected.

    @#3, Our legislative system of government was meant for long, protracted fights, chipping away at the nonsense until finally a workable law could be enacted. It was never, ever meant for comprehensive laws enacted by one party or the other. The republicans deserve to be crapped on right now because they prefer to drop to the mat after the first punch instead of fighting the good fight.

    Not a doubt these morons are school teachers. Maybe the progressive totalitarians are right: We get what we pay for.

    Liberals really are nuts… it’s no wonder that so few decent people run for political office. Normal people wouldn’t tolerate this crap.

    On a related note, the guy that shot Cecil the lion is in hiding d/t death threats and it’s commonplace to find commenters wanting to torture the guy to death (usually the same people that recoil at the idea that a murderer might be put to death).

    I don’t think much of trophy hunting and have a soft spot for cats of all sizes but, really, a world in a uproar over a lion with ongoing genocides, ISIS, and the growth industry of trafficking in organs from undifferentiated masses of cells harvested by Planned Parenthood.

    Sweet meteor of death – headed this way?

    @#3 – why should congress be cooperating with and not obstructing legislation which is blatantly injurious to the country?

    Yes Obama got elected. So did they. Why does the fact of his election require them to go against their own voters to cooperate with his schemes?

  18. Sean L says

    July 29, 2015 at 9:03 pm - July 29, 2015

    @ KCRob: Relevant etymology lesson: “mob” comes from mobile, the Latin word for fickle, in reference to the tendency of “the people” to reverse their opinions on issues at the drop of the hat. Certainly describes many on the Left.

  19. TR says

    July 29, 2015 at 9:39 pm - July 29, 2015

    @#16

    I didn’t say that the congress [should] cooperate with Obama + his schemes. I said that, [or I said or implied: some] people are annoyed with congress not cooperating.
    By not co-op-ing, I mean that the Ds + the Rs in congress don’t cooperate with each other, to improve laws + to improve projects. I also did not say that: Obama getting elected means that the voters and/or congresspeople are required to go along with his schemes.
    I am also not a supporter of Obama + his plans/schemes. No support for Obama was said or implied.

    #7… I call that situational morals. If a liberal lies it is for good cause, if a conservative lies, they are evil

    @18

    Is it at all possible that laws, in general, are the problem? The only improvement then would be to eliminate as many as is possible. Unfortunately, lawmakers can arbitrarily create a law which benefits them more than other people. What possible motivation would they have to not do so? If you counter with “morality” or “ethics”, please look at the current crop of politicians on both sides of the aisle and point me towards someone even slightly describable as such.

    @20

    Those are good points to consider.
    My goal with #18 was to clarify that: my goal in writing #3 was an expression of frustration, + a hope for a better future, but not that I wrote #3 as [a practical plan for the future].

    I think Scott Walker should enlist a couple of MMA trained guys to let disrespectful people know they are not welcome.

    Problem solved. 😉
