We should be contacting our senators to tell them to oppose any and all gun control legislation. Manchin and Toomey are plotting and scheming.

Manchin, Toomey both interested in reviving gun control push

According to his friend his father gave him money for his birthday, which he used to buy the gun. He lied on the form saying he had no charges pending against him when he did.

No one has thought this out.

This will be expanded to every expression of southern pride.

When I drove down I-81 from PA years ago, the first “attraction” was to visit the “Virginia Museum of the Civil War and the New Market Battlefield”.

The description of the battle there was not factual. The description was to to glorify confederate “valor” against Yankee intruders. Clearly racism by today’s standards.

If the confederate flag has to go, what happens to places like these? Is there going to be federal copy editors for monuments?

“Why We’re Talking About Flags Instead of Gun Control”

Look, Squirrel... Any word from Hillary on this? On the SCOTUS decisions? On Obamacare? On Benghazi? On emails?

—Last weekend, the world saw white supremacist and mass murderer Dylann Roof—

I take exception to this. The press ALWAYS paints the white wrongdoer as ‘white supremacist’. Why? To my knowledge Dylann didn’t state that. This was revenge for what he saw as pervasive blacks murdering whites with impunity.

Part of the anti-American plan apparently is to facilitate white guilt while fomenting black hate by constantly referring to Caucasians thinking of themselves as ‘white supremists’. Nobody seems to call them on it and it also seems to work.

Revenge does not translate into thinking one’s own race is ‘superior’ to another. I doubt people who are that scrood up to begin with even think beyond they’re own rage.

Utterly brainless drivel from Jessica Winter - yet another IQ-challenged hack at Slate.
