The Outline interviewed David Hogg, a 17-year old survivor of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, who says he is the NRA's "worst nightmare." Hogg's interview was laced with profanity against his detractors, Gov. Rick Scott, the NRA, old people and others.
Hogg said he became an activist because adults don't know how to "use a f**king democracy":
"When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the f**king phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government; our parents don’t know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to."

The headline reminded me of this;
[protestor] “Governor, it’s impossible for your generation to understand us.... You didn’t grow up in a world of instant electronic communications, of cybernetics, of men computing in seconds what once took months, even years, or jet travel, nuclear power, and journeys into space....”
“You’re absolutely right. Our generation didn’t have those things when we were growing up. We invented them.”. - Calif. Governor Ronald Reagan

He got deferred.
You can cherry pick if you want, but it doesn’t negate what I said.
An “iMessage”??
He is the ignorant one.
Excellent post and I wish to God you’d been there to say that to little the little turd after his rant, I mean speech!
This is a critical component of the story, much as a corrupt FBI constructed a false narrative about the president. If Hogg pushed Cruz into a fit of rage in order to document and grandstand he is as guilty as Cruz. This seems more than plausible given the vile character of his diatribe. Cruz needs to be interrogated about the influences that set him off.
There are plenty of example’s of Hogg’s profanity. But I am not a pearl-clutching anti-Trumper like you and Peggy Noonan, so I don’t bother monitoring every time Trump doesn’t meet your puritanical notions of how a president should act. What I care about is that he isn’t trying to sell us down the river in the name of globalism and free trade. I will gladly take the occasional swear word if it is part of the larger package.
A Republic, if we can keep it.
We’re hiding from the truth if we try to blame Obama for what’s wrong in this country and think we can mend the country now that we have rid ourselves of him. For Obama wasn’t the sickness that afflicts us; he was merely a symptom of the disease that is destroying us, and at this point we may be past the point of recovery.
Any student of history could have seen this coming, as our country is now following the path all previous Democracies have taken. An 18th Century English Historian, Sir Alexander Tytler Fraser, warned that a democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship.
When our founding fathers met in Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention in 1787, they were well aware a democracy was nothing more than "mob rule" and they went to great lengths to prevent our Representative Republic from becoming one. However, each preventive step our Founding Fathers made in our electoral processes to prevent mob rule/democracy were one by one eliminated by the Democrat Party until we now have an almost complete mob rule/democracy.
Ben Franklin, when asked what he had achieved at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, replied, "A Republic, if we can keep it," and we haven't kept it. We are now as close to a complete "Democracy" thus “mob rule” as a country can get.
Initially, a democracy/mob rule was prevented and our Republic was preserved through very limited voting rights. There were no provisions in our Constitution that established voting rights and it was left up to each state to decide who could vote and who couldn’t. Most states determined that in order to have voting rights, a citizen had to be a white, male property owner, and the U.S. House of Representatives was elected by this small pool of voters, as was State Senates and State Houses of Representatives. This mob rule preventive measure has been undone by time and four amendments to the Constitution until all a voter needs to be now is an eighteen year old non-felon U.S. Citizen.
To further limit the possibility of "mob rule," Article One of the United States Constitution - Section 3: Senate, stated senators were to be elected to the U.S. Senate by the State Senates and not by the same pool of voters as was the U.S House. That “mob rule” preventive measure was undone by the Seventeenth Amendment to or Constitution that allowed for the U.S. Senate to be elected by the same pool of voters as is the U.S. House.
To even further limit the possibility of "Mob Rule," the President wouldn't be elected by the same pool of voters as was the House of Representatives but would be elected by an "Electoral College." As stated in section 1 of Article II of the U.S. Constitution— “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors . . .”
As you can see, the only "Mob Rule" preventive measure still remaining in effect is the Electoral College that prevents the President from being elected by a "Popular" vote, and the Democrats keep trying to undo that one.
This “mob” is now a Democrat Party led loose coalition of Marxist Communists, Socialists, environmentalists, welfare parasites, abortionists, racists, race baiters, illegal aliens, and other assorted criminals comprising close to a majority of the U.S. population. What the mob doesn’t have in numbers, they make up for with voter fraud during elections.
No, Obama wasn’t our problem; it’s the “mob” that elected him, and that can’t be fixed by an election even when we win it.

Maybe your boyfriend can give you a hug and make you feel all safe inside.
Yes I know the sex side doesn’t apply but I figure these two as being bomb makers
The SA we’re notorious homosexuals. Not to mention the flamboyantly homosexual Nazi uniforms and regalia.
Piglet’s momma needs to wash his potty-mouth out with Lava soap!
What does my posting history have to do with calling a spade a spade? If using profanity diminishes Hogg then why is it not an issue for the President?
First I have no pearls. Second, I don’t monitor Trump. That was just found on a Facebook feed and I posted it. If you’re not worried how the President should act, then why are you concerned with how a students acts and his use of profanity. Although I’m sure he uses profanity frequently, where is evidence of Hogg’s other use of profanity? Oh You don’t have any. Word of mouth?
“Maybe your parents understand that we’re not a democracy! “
I’m sure his proggie, government union worker parents tell him we’re a democracy.
I’m equally sure Boss Hogg seldom recited the Pledge of Allegience in school — “...änd to the republic for which it stands.”
That so many call us a democracy attests to the successful indoctrination of our children by pubic school teachers.

Awe. I was getting that cyber hug from you. And I feel so much safer and better.
Get lost. You are basically siding with a gun-grabber in your hatred of Trump.
Cherry pick? It seems to be a common element in the President’s words used. From a profanity perspective, both Hogg and the President are equals. But some people see Hogg profanity=bad. Trump profanity=okay.
Use of profanity is what it is. If it’s bad for a liberal then it would stand to reason it’s bad for conservatives. If we’re worried about our culture descending down a hole, then we should treat immorality equally. It’s the issues where the focus should be.
