I am not an advocate of the drones either and it is off topic. Make your own thread about the drones.

Back on topic.

Imagine your six year old ripped apart by 11 bullets at school. Can you?

wishful thinking on the part of the crazies.....

Again, hug the gun and f*k the child....

It is all that is said over and over....

If I am attracted, definitely want to see how that goes, so yea. But if I am not attracted then all that is going to happen is a hug.

Again everyone keeps making my point for me on the posts.

Hug the gun and f*k the child...

If Americans knew what bullets did to human flesh, they’d support gun control. So perhaps they should be shown in living colour what bullets do to small bodies. A mere description is insufficient for the literal-minded.

Noah Pozner, 6, was one of the 20 child victims in the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14. All the dead were shot between three and 11 times. Tiny Noah took 11 bullets. His mother, Veronique, insisted on an open coffin, Naomi Zeveloff reported in the Jewish Daily Forward.

You’ll probably remember Noah. He was a happy little guy with beautiful heavily lashed eyes and a cheerful smile. In his coffin, there was a cloth placed over the lower part of his face.

“There was no mouth left,” his mother told the Forward. “His jaw was blown away.”

She put a stone in his right hand, a “clear plastic rock with a white angel inside.” She wanted to put a matching stone in his left hand but he had no left hand to speak of.

Parents of the dead children were advised to identify them from photographs, such was the carnage. But every parent reacts differently. Veronique Pozner did the most difficult thing. She asked to see the body. Zeveloff asked her why.

“I owed it to him as his mother, the good, the bad and the ugly,” she said. “. . . And as a little boy, you have to go in the ground. If I am going to shut my eyes to that I am not his mother. I had to bear it. I had to do it.”

When the governor of Connecticut arrived, she brought him to see Noah in the open casket. “If there is ever a piece of legislation that comes across his desk, I needed it to be real for him.” The governor wept.

Death by gun isn’t real to us because we see it only in the movies. We occasionally see photos of human beings as meat, but they are almost always meat belonging to non-white foreigners after a bombing.

Those grieving often don’t share an editor’s delicate sensibilities. Jackie Kennedy, on Air Force One after JFK was shot on Nov. 22, 1963, was asked to change her clothes because the sight of JFK’s blood and brains was upsetting people. She cleaned her face and discarded her pillbox hat, but kept the bloodstained suit on. “Let them see what they’ve done,” she said. Mass shootings had not yet begun.

And what about the case of Emmett Till? Online Reddit readers commented on one obvious link with Noah.

Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago, was hideously murdered in 1955 while visiting relatives in Mississippi. Allegedly, he had whistled at a white woman. Till was kidnapped, beaten, had one of his eyes gouged out, was shot in the head and his corpse tied with barbed wire to a 70-pound weight and dumped in a river.

His mother asked for an open coffin. “I want the world to see what they did to my baby,” she said.

The photo was reproduced and Till’s death became a huge news story. Three months later, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus and the civil rights movement

took a leap forward.

In these three cases, we see the difference between “telling” and “showing,” an old concept in literary criticism. Novelists can “show” events and let the reader draw their own conclusions or they can “tell” the reader the plot as it unfolds.

But the literary critic Wayne Booth came up with the concept of the “unreliable narrator.” Can you trust what you are being told? Reporters can tell you that 20 children were shot. But since American gun owners think reporters are unreliable narrators in the first place, perhaps they have to be shown what one man did to Noah because he had, not just one bullet, but a magazine of bullets.

We saw JFK’s skull fly apart. Emmett’s unrecognizable face was on show.

And that’s why Noah’s mother asked the governor to come and see her child’s corpse. He had already been told. He had to see it for himself.

Can you imagine your little 6 year old having their body ripped apart by 11 bullets?

It is unimaginable.

Again, everyone just proves my point.

Hug your gun, f*k the children....

Political liberalism - Definition




Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defense of individual liberty as the purpose of government. It typically favors the right to dissent from orthodox tenets or established authorities in political or religious matters. In this respect, it is sometimes held in contrast to conservatism. Since liberalism also focuses on the ability of individuals to structure a society, it is almost always opposed to totalitarianism, and often to collectivist ideologies, particularly communism.

The word "liberal" derives from the Latin "liber" ("free") and liberals of all stripes tend to view themselves as friends of freedom, particularly freedom from the shackles of tradition. The origins of liberalism in the Enlightenment era contrasted this philosophy to feudalism and mercantilism. Later, as more radical philosophies articulated themselves in the course of the French Revolution and through the nineteenth century, liberalism equally defined itself in contrast to socialism and communism, although some adherents of liberalism sympathize with some of the aims and methods of social democracy.



The very definition of Liberalism is American as apple pie.

So this makes the right wing philosophies .....

And I do not write what I right to change neandrathal minds. I write what I write so those who feel the same way, know that they are on the right track and others are there who feel the same way.

So they do not get beaten down with all the fearmongering and hatemongering of the right wingers in the world.

What a bunch of garbage.

Liberalism stands for freedoms. Freedoms come at a price and it hits not only your responsibility to others in your community but your obligations to keep the freedoms. Freedom does not mean that you just get to be a legal owning crazy *** gun lunatic that threatens others by you having a gun, for example and there is no law or right that allows you do to such. Just as screaming fire in a crowded theatre is not allowed with the freedom of speech.

Freedoms do not mean anarchy. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with freedoms and cost that comes with freedoms both will cause all to have to give. All have to give up some for the freedoms of all.

Conservatism is the restrictive, self serving, self deprecating, neandrathal form of dealing with others. Not enlightened at all. Not encouraging of freedom, not inclusive of all. It is a very limited brain state to be in to think in a conservative mind state.

Except it only is what it is because women allow it to continue.

If you don't choose a man who would allow this to dictate his decision then they would learn not to be that way. I wouldn't want a man who believes that women can be sluts because that means he is a misogynist and will not be equal with me in his mind ever.

willing, I am so glad you know nothing better to do because you make my point so well every time.

You are the most reliable example of what I post about.

Thanks man.


Bush, you are making my point also.


Hug your guns and f*k the kids.....

Just to save their ego, I walk away from racists/bigots, right wingers, misogynists.....it saves me the waste of my time with low intellect. Not that there is anything wrong with low intellect of course, it just isn't my bag.

Another thing I walk away from is negativity like/ie those who have been hurt and wear their anger/bitterness like a badge of honor. Preaching their "self acquired" false wisdom of what others need to do because of the experiences they have endured in order to prevent you from getting hurt by their perception of something to fear. The angermongers.

Wishing them strength, light and endurance for this dark time.

Yes because I dream of a life that I breath, see, walk, feel, laugh, help and love in and it happens for me every day.

thanks for proving my point.....

If you are with a liar, basically all you have to rely on is a lie, so you have nothing.

There really isn't a relationship happening at all if one side is all lies.

Yes, I am up for an adventure.

The second amendment was written for "well regulated militia" first off which is not a bunch of gun crazies loose all over the country. Second, it was written when the government and civilians were on equal ground with the weaponry, not so now and no way the civilian weaponry is any ANY threat to the government at any level. Third, there were not automatic weapons in their day. It took many minutes too load for the next shot.

It is stupidity on our part to not control these weapons, what can be had and who can have them.

Hell, the ones who want them the most should be the first to be denied, that is sign of mental unwellness in and of itself...



This NRA is designed to keep crazy folks buying guns in mass, that is their whole agenda. That is why they spread the lies of someone taking their guns away.


Congresscare (Obamacare) is nothing of what we should have in this country for health care. Congress cut it up so badly that it will not be what we should have but it is a move in the right direction so it will have to be until we can get a smarter congress who will be smart enough to know healthcare should be universal here.

Neil Heslin, Father Of Newtown Victim, Heckled By Pro-Gun Activists (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Neil Heslin, the father of a 6-year-old boy who was slain in the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, stoically faced down pro-gun activists last night.

More than 1,000 people attended a hearing before the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Monday to share their views on gun control, USA Today reported. Among them was Heslin, who held a large framed picture of himself and his son Jesse as he urged officials to consider strengthening gun laws in Connecticut.

But as he gave his emotional testimony, pleading with lawmakers to improve mental health options and to ban assault weapons like the one Adam Lanza used to murder his child and 25 other people, his speech was interrupted by dozens of audience members, The Connecticut Post reported.

“I still can't see why any civilian, anybody in this room in fact, needs weapons of that sort. You're not going to use them for hunting, even for home protection," Heslin said.

Pro-gun activists responded by calling out: "Second Amendment!"

Undeterred, Heslin continued. "There are a lot of things that should be changed to prevent what happened."

Heslin's son, Jesse McCord Lewis, was described by friends as a happy child, The Post reported. A "little cowboy," Jesse reportedly liked to play with the fake horses at a local Western-themed restaurant. After he was shot and killed by Lanza, a line of police officers on horseback joined the motorcade at the boy's funeral.

"He was a boy that loved life. Lived it to the fullest…He was my son, he was my buddy, he was my best friend." Heslin said.

I picture my six year old son and daughters each time this issue comes up. I can't even imagine burying them. Let alone having to know their last moments were of terror as bullets ripped through their little bodies.....brings tears every time....

Sick, it is sick to hug the gun and forsake the child......
