I fail to note any conservative patriots in those photos...

America’s problem are leftists, who are always unhappy with life, are filled with the seven deadly sins, want to control and dominate others and want to force them to obey the leftists whimsical and poorly thought out idealistic notions that consistently never work.

Such people are miserable with the idea that everything they want they could provide themselves, if they just limited it to themselves. Because even they know that they are incapable and that their ideas are crap. They want to project their pain and frustration by hurting others.

The crave the idea that something, anything could make them superior, when they know they are inferior. They cannot create or build, so they live to tear down and defile.

If they could be put on their own island, they would rapidly die out, because as parasites, they are dependent on their hosts to survive. Without all the people who are not like them, they become extinct.

I think Sleeper is a victim of his own self-induced hysteria.

Salon, Slate and the HuffPost are Upworthy for the literate.

"read huge swaths"

You got farther than I did. I could only read about four or five paragraphs before the tedium started to set in. Typical dime a dozen, liberal screed.

A liberal arsonist who sets fire to society then. Complains that it is burning. What he needs is a good punch in the face.

about 90% of the mass murderers in high school around the country were taking some form of mood altering adhd drug....

imho the gateway drug for these is sugar.

Hahahaha! The people here who know me (most of whom got here far earlier than 2011) tell me I do a great job and love my threads. There’re hundreds if not thousands of them on that side and you over on the other. LOL

A long and illustrious (ah, if we skip over the zotted thingy) career. I'm sure there's been many proud moments.

So which Salon article are you most proud of posting? How about The Daily Beast? Or Slate? And then there's the ever popular (to you) MSNBC? Let me know when you got the list together.

Maybe it’s just that you haven’t been here long enough to understand how this site works. We post threads on articles of interest, be they left, right, center, general interest, religious, technological or some other subject. Then we discuss those articles, see what others think about them and in some cases react to them by calling our representatives, protesting, boycotting, donating to a cause, candidate, charity or other fund, visit about our past experiences, fight, bicker and even call names, like you’re doing now. Just because we post a thread from what many consider to be a left-wing site doesn’t make the poster a liberal. Does that explain it to you? Or do I need someone who has been here even longer than I have to go through it with you?

Amazing how he slams all of America, because of the actions of a few crazed individuals, or of gangs of thugs who haven’t been civilized by normal family life. They do not comprise the majority of America, or even a minority of Americans. They are a tiny portion of the population, but they make the evening news and go ‘viral’ on the internet, so they’re uppermost in peoples’ minds for a short time, then the folks back to their daily lives until the next occurrence brings violence to the forefront again.
