Let's hope your vaunted (and I think, largely hypothetical/imaginary) society of laws works out. My prediction? Bloodshed in the streets, and sooner rather than later. That's because morons like you are eager for it, largely because you have some half-assed romanticized vision of what fighting your enemies in the streets looks like. People are going to die. People you love. Your family, friends, neighbors. And not just of trauma wounds. They'll die of starvation. They'll die of dysentery. You're talking about bringing a formal end to polite society in favor of unbridled violence against your fellow Americans. You're talking about the interruption of the supply of food, water, and energy. You're talking about the complete end of the domestic economy, with functioning businesses being replaced by roving gangs of looters and mini-anarchist protectorates. You have no idea what the !@#$ you're advocating for. Edit: Or maybe you do. You've now moved on to the notion that a society of laws is a fanciful delight, casually disregarded. Perhaps you're just a broken sociopath. Edited June 26, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker

I don't wish for it either. I'd like to see a return to status qo ante of about, say, 1991. But you can't ever go back, and the steps the left are taking the past two years can't be walked back.

You have no idea what the !@#$ you're advocating for. You're wrong. I don't want it. I want this to actually -be- a nation of laws, versus a nation of lawlessness. The left espouses lawlessness, they espouse MASS flaunting of the laws and sovreignty of this country. I want someone to do something about it before it comes to that. Also, where does this "polite society" exist? I've not seen much evidence for it. Edited June 26, 2018 by joesixpack

In fact, quite the opposite, you're ratcheting up the rhetoric. "Polite society" is a euphemism for "we don't shoot our neighbors over political differences", and you currently see it nearly everywhere in the country.

Or you could try make sane arguments to the overwhelming majority of people who can be convinced, marginalizing the political will and resources of those you disagree with.
row_33 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 uh oh Tasker, now all the fault for any violence is on you !!!!

You know, since you're so keen on bringing up the glorious 60s as an example, you know that a lot of those protests turned violent, right? But it begs a question: a good number of those "movements" were sponsored and organized by Soviet intelligence services. I wonder if the Chinese government might be behind some of our leftist agitators? May be a good avenue to investigate.
3rdnlng Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Maxine Waters, as a citizen has a right to her hate speech. She invariably goes right to the line but hasn't crossed it yet legally. As far as decency goes, she's passed that line on numerous occasions. She should be censored in the House and marginalized that way. Joe, you are confusing indecent with illegal. 1

It'll be interesting to see if her "esteemed" colleagues hold her feet to the fire in whatever way they can. I doubt it, though.
