You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to lilymc again.

Covered.

Thanks!

They are creating the division, the PTSB has instigated the hate and distrust between groups through their brainwashing and manipulation.

I think it's extremely sad that some of you seem to want to go along with that, by promoting animosity between different groups… whether it's women and men, blacks and whites, or whatever.

I don't want animosity, I want peaceful separation, the left has completely rejected everything America stands for and wants to force the rest of us to live by it's rules, they won't and can't live by ours, the only solution is to let them go their own way so we can go ours, the only reason to fight is if they won't let us go.

It is up to them to choose violence or peace, so far they have shown a tendency to violence.

If enough people want to do that, how would it actually happen? Because the problem is the government...so it's not quite as easy as letting the leftists go their own way. I'm not saying that I'm against that idea, I just want to know how you think it would actually happen.

CALExit etc.

 

[lilymc]

CALExit etc.

Like I said, that still leaves us with a corrupt and subversive government. Socialists/globalists. So I don't see how CALExit would solve the problem.

Without the leftists vote-zombies we would have a fighting chance to fix the politics of this nation, the GOP would cease to benefit from the "lesser of two evils" factor and people would consider candidates like Dr. Paul.

FOR. FUCK's. SAKE.

ANDY TAILOR IS A FICTIONAL FUCKING CHARACTER.

MAYBERRY IS A FICTIONAL FUCKING TOWN.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WILL PEOPLE EVER STOP TALKING LIKE THEY WERE EVER NOT?

Lol, cops have always been power tripping assholes. Always.

FOR. $#@!'s. SAKE.

ANDY TAILOR IS A FICTIONAL $#@!ING CHARACTER.

You do understand that people can know they are fictional and still talk about what they represented as symbols right?

Well, as a native Californian I can tell you that there are lots of non-lefties here. (As I've mentioned before, it wasn't that many years ago that Prop 8 passed in supposedly the most liberal state.)

And I still don't think that is getting to the root of the problem. It's the people in charge, who control the schools, the media, etc. I guess I'm just not as optimistic as you. In fact, I really hate to say this, but I've kind of given up hope on our country ever getting back on the right track. So my main thing is just to try to make people aware of what's happening and where were heading, in my view.

Both Andy and Barney fit that description.

I want to keep the red counties, but the urban centers might as well be North Korea, they are why California is a one party communist dictatorship.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Precisely what they want you to think.

Why is there always a "they"?

And why is it that both sides of the argument always use this mysterious "they" to lay the blame on?

I'm sure there are. So what? There were a lot of Jewish Poles and Cambodian doctors as well, and where did they end up?

CalExit would solve the problem, because it would pave the way for other secession movements and the all powerful FedGov, that most all of us view as the source of much of the problems we face, would cease to be.

The people in charge, as you put it.

I hear you brother, loud and clear.

But the fact of the matter is that, while cops have always been abusive and prone to corruption, the idea of them behaving and operating like an occupying army is a new development.

If it takes comparisons to fictional characters like those portrayed in the Andy Griffith show or Adam-12, to penetrate the dull corpus of the body politic then so be it.

 

[Raginfridus]

Israel and France, respectively.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Israel and France, respectively.

The ones that didn't end up in the mass grave.

 

[Raginfridus]

The ones that didn't end up in the mass grave, because they contracted typhus and famished to bones, from all the allied bombing of infrastructure.

Anybody ever notice that this "good old family values show" didn't have any married people in it? (Except- I think- Otis the drunk)

Andy was a widower.

You are full of shat, as usual.
