Both Parties are there to make us think we have some control. We don’t. We’re manipulated to believe we have control.

Those that control both of the Parties play the great divide as necessary to implement all the policies that they want, be it another war, amnesty, more immigration, gun control, bailing out the bankers after their greatest heist, shipping our economy to China, a UN treaty that usurps the US Constitution or a back door central bank and 16th Amendment both in tandem about 1913. It’s all about keeping the little sheeple angry at each other while owning the pols. What scares the PTB most are outlier groups like the Tea Party and OWS that aren’t beholden and compromised.

I agree.

They always knew there was never a chance for the bogus "assault weapons ban" to pass. And they knew that even if it did, it wouldn't do a damn thing anyway.

The "universal background check" is what they're really aiming for:

That they are informed of every single legal firearms transfer that ever takes place in the entire country, period. Who transferred it, and who it was transferred to.

Don’t worry: Obamacare will never pass.

There are a bunch of Democrats in tough elections and they’ll never go for it.

It was a “wish”, not a “prayer”. Regardless, I look forward to that useless piece of garbage dropping from a stroke or any other natural cause.

I don’t see the two as related in the least bit. At every stage of human history you’ve had the Right to Self-Defense. It may have gotten you killed, battered, enslaved or all three, but that is a Natural Right.

At no point in the known history of mankind have homosexuals been allowed to marry in any civilization of note. For Christians, Jews and Moslems it has never, ever been OK.

The Democrats have an amazing ability to corrals their member into supporting things they individuality ran against.

I never expected much beyond corruption of Harry Reid but now the NRA can solidly expect nothing.

I said the NRA was nuts to endorse any Democrat, they showed they were not very swift. Harry Reid and the $%#@ head loser Joe Manchin for example

A bunch of liars, just like any Democrat that says they are pro life or even love Jesus

They are all lying
