Adding my prayers with yours and bumping your accurate observations.
I’ve been away from the news for a few hours...is it gang related?
Actually... That’s really quite interesting.
When you and I were in high school, we had parents. There are fewer and fewer stay-at-home moms, and fewer stay-with-yer-wife fathers. Boomers have trusted the socialists to raise their kids, raised taxes to pay for it - making mom have to work, and hollywood and video games have given the green light to fantasize wasting your enemies. Yah, it is inevetible for some. The rest of us can concentrate on being parents. Funny how this crap not only happens, but is run 24/7 just before landmark 2A situations... SCOTUS, and the 2008 elections. Curious. A little too curious.
“What the hell’s goin’ on in Nevada?”
My thoughts exactly...., however, it could involve Harry Reid. There needs to be an investigation.
Maybe so, but the stoned liberals think yer Jesus!
The Bavarian Illuminati controls MS-13 through the Council on Foreign Relations. Everbody knows that.
Maybe we should ban gun free zone and we all should start packin’. These spineless people will not have the will to do this crap when the lead start flyin back at ‘em.
At most the media should say that the shooter was an effeminate cross-dressing homo-erotic Klansman...
Yep... When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago there was news of yet another gang shooting nightly it seems... I wouldn’t place this incident in the same “class” as the Church Shootings, nor the Mall Shooting, personally. Gang violence is a completely different “creature” if you will from people who “snap” and commit mass murders.
No, everybody does not know that. Fred Thompson for example. (CFR member)
Ahhhhhh, the voice of an expert.
Cmon, don't you think it's ODD there haven't been any pictures of Bush Sr. with his shirt off in the last 5 years?
That's because Yale's Skull & Bones are the go-betweens moving the money between the CFR and MS-13; Bush is covered with gang tatoos, which he keeps covered up.
The pieces all fit together.
There ARE things to be concerned about that are happening in our world, Strategerist and I personally find that your sarcasm doesn’t help to uncover truths that may exist... I would caution you to be careful in automatically dismissing anything you find “uncomfortable” to deal with. I don’t believe everything I read, but more often than not there are nuggets of truth, and to dismiss everything is plain naive, IMHO.
Well, let's be factual.
Big city public school schooling is overly expensive, poorly run, indoctrinating instead of educating and, dare I say it, dangerous.
Now, if you want to dispute that statement with facts, have at it.
Listen to your wife.
We can't get them in my state. People carry anyway.
You both need to get off the “bash all public schools” bandwagon that is so pervasive on this forum
No they do not, and it is not pervasive enough by one 100th of one percent.
The public school system has given us the modern day social and political realities of America today.
As one who once worked in education, I am appalled at how totally the pursuit of the end of America, and the manner in which the achievements, ideals, values, pride and dignity of Western Civilization are so thoroughly demeaned in all of public education, both normal and higher.
Were it to fall apart and crash burning to the ground, this country would be the greater for it.
It is no longer an asset, but a public disgrace. - Abolish it, in toto.
The founding fathers would be once again moved to revolutionary action.
Decadent: adj; fallen from a higher plane or ideal.
I don't dismiss anything I find "uncomfortable," I dismiss anything I find "silly."
And the press should not print the names of anyone who commits such crimes.
Oh the globalists are toasting each other tonight as they celebrate their plan to destroy America - fill it with smut and violence, pit the races against each other, take God or any sense of moral responsibility out of our schools, tax the sh#t out of everyone, fill the airwaves with sports and gibberish...
They are winning America.. Wake up and smell the rooting flesh of freedom and independence.
