Actually, I was even more outraged because that story was buried, hence the lack of response. Think about it. Such a fuss over the ports deal, but only a couple hundred posts on the thread concerning this recent sale? That does not compute.
It always makes me go back to the basic question...what is really driving their outrage.
If you don't already feel the outrage yourself, then you may never understand it. Nonetheless, there is plenty of cause for outrage.
And it won't go away by pulling threads or banning posters. The truth will simply emerge somewhere else, and it will only seem more outrageous because of the attempts to hide it.
On this little forum, you have witnessed exactly what makes this country work. A battle of ideals in progress. People vying to have their voice heard.
And a chorus emerges. It sings on time and on key. The notes envelope you.
Or maybe not. Perhaps you don't just don't care for the tune.
But this piece of music rings out nonetheless. It calls for sovereignty of the United States, and a Republican Form of Government, and adherence to the Constitution.
The right to free speech and religion.
The right to bear arms.
The guarantee of our Government to the States a Republican form of Government, and to protect them from invasion.
The right to be secure in our person and property.
These are only a few things which we in this country have every right to expect, because these are things which under our Constitution, and our Government which is sworn to uphold it, are our God given rights. Even of these few rights guaranteed to the people I have mentioned, EVERY ONE of them is under attack in one form or another.
You need look no farther for the answer to your question as to what is driving the outrage then this.
LOL! I know what's driving the outrage...
