All he did was whine about how much he hates freedom and wishes he could violate our civil rights for fun.

No. The whiny brats are not going to be allowed to violate our civil rights for fun no matter how loudly they scream or how far across the room they fling their baby rattles.
Quote:Joe Biden denounces "prostitution of the Second Amendment"
If there is one thing that liberals don't like, it's civil rights.
Quote:"I think the Second Amendment is being badly interpreted, it's not consistent with what our founders intended," said Biden when discussing gun policy.
The Founding Fathers intended that Freedom Haters be prevented from violating the right to keep and bear arms.
And that's exactly what the Second Amendment does today.
Quote:He added, "These millions of kids, they're impacting on their parents' sense of responsibility and you're going to see it in the polls, you're going to see it change, it's already a movement, it's real and I predict to you it's not going to stop."
Obama's second term was shattered when he poured 100% of his energy into attacking the NRA, and the NRA simply devoured all of his energy.
If this generation pours 100% of their energy into attacking the NRA, the NRA will simply devour all of that energy too. And whatever this generation might have achieved with that lost energy, history will record that they ended up achieving nothing at all.
These kids mean business. They're showing the grown-ups how to do it.
Laura Ingraham, Facing Boycott, Apologizes for Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg
By Daniel Victor, NYT, March 29, 2018
Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as at least five companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.
The dispute began Wednesday when Ms. Ingraham shared an article about the student, David Hogg, 17, getting rejected from colleges and accused him of whining about it.
In response, Mr. Hogg, who has rapidly become a prominent advocate for gun-control policies, called on Ms. Ingraham’s advertisers to boycott her show. Five of the companies, TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Hulu, Nestle and Nutrish, said Thursday they would pull their ads. A sixth, Expedia, said it had recently pulled its advertising but declined to say when.
As news of the boycotts began coming out on Thursday, Ms. Ingraham apologized. “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” she said, extending an invitation for Mr. Hogg to appear on the show.
Mr. Hogg said he was unimpressed by the apology.
“She only apologized after we went after her advertisers,” he said. “It kind of speaks for itself.”
Mr. Hogg said he has grown accustomed to being criticized, often ruthlessly. But to hear a prominent television host mock his college rejections was “extremely frustrating,” he said.
“I’m not going to stoop to her level and go after her on a personal level,” he said. “I’m going to go after her advertisers.”
Ms. Ingraham’s remarks went too far for TripAdvisor, which said it planned to stop advertising on the show and that it did not “condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster.”
“We also believe Americans can disagree while still being agreeable, and that the free exchange of ideas within a community, in a peaceful manner, is the cornerstone of our democracy,” the company said through a spokesman. “In our view, these statements focused on a high school student cross the line of decency.”
Nutrish, a pet food brand owned by Rachael Ray, said it was “in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham’s program.”
“The comments she has made are not consistent with how we feel people should be treated,” the company said.
Wayfair, an e-commerce company, said in a statement that it supports “open dialogue and debate on issues,” but that it would stop advertising on Ms. Ingraham’s show.
“The decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values,” the company said. [...]
@coldjoint,
Sure, Trump is primo on foreign policy and he's a winner, the best, I hate to tell you, he likes guys who didn't get captured like himself...Cadet Bone Spurs wanted to run into a pow camp but his daddy said it might make his arches fall.
@oralloy,
Oral, you need to come up with another line. It's starting to get as hollow as Donald Trump.

If this generation wants to devote all of their energy to attacking us, we'll devour all of that energy and this generation will go down in history as having achieved nothing at all.

When whiny brats throw temper tantrums, it is proper to refer to them as whiny brats.
@oralloy,
They're kicking your ass. Who would have imagined a 17 yr old effectively shutting down FAUX News, forcing them to apologize, under 48 hours?
Oh the whining of gun suckers while a bunch of kids effortlessly tear them a second asshole... priceless.

They learnt how to use the tools of democracy that were largely denied them before by people like a few here ...

Not really.

I don't watch Fox. I doubt they have been shut down however.
I did hear something about an apology. Personally, when liberals try their phony outrage with me, I spit on them instead of apologizing.

No whining on my end.
I am just as prepared to defeat the whiny brats as I've always been.
@oralloy,
You are the one who whines incessanty abou nonexistent violation of nonexistent civil rights. They have standing. You have none. And Cruz was sici. He had been terrorizing oither students, his neighbors, and the community since he was in midele school. They are the ones whose friends were killed in violation of their civiol rights. The police weerre called on him repeatedly. He'd been kicked out of school for aggressive acts. The other students knew what he was like and whar he hgad done. He'd done it unprovoked for years, and they knew it. He was sick. and he was violent . The well-known aggressive behavior os his part is why rhey may have avoided him. You don't hang out with piranhas if you're sensible. And NOTHING excuses someone who "snaps: and kills 17 people. You're pathetic to come up with phony excuses for his gun-commited murders.
@Walter Hinteler,
I think the kids realized that the NRA and FAUX and co are just paper tigers. While their parents have in effect been intimidated into thinking nothing can be done, the powers that be won't nudge, etc., the kids are proving that all you need to do to win a few battles is to fight back a little. Creativity and courage go a long way against idiots and cowards, even rich and powerful ones...
It's not just that this generation feels totally at ease with social media tools. It's also that they haven't given up...

One good reason to vote for Republicans is:
liberals hate our freedom and say that our rights do not exist.
However, I don't whine about your attempts to violate my rights. I stop you from violating my rights. And then
you whine because you've been stopped from violating my rights.

It's going to be a wonderful pleasure mocking the whiny brats when they break down in tears after it dawns on them that they've lost.

We have a long history of defeating the Freedom Haters. We destroyed Obama's entire second term when he perpetrated the 2013 gun control debacle.
If you deny this reality it will only speed your inevitable defeat.
@oralloy,
Keep dreaming. I'm just seeing a bunch of kids teaching gun suckers what it means to be free, to have some sense of decency and respect for human life. And at some point it's gona sink into your own skull too, that the NRA clique are mass murderers.

The whiny brats aren't teaching anything. All they are doing is throwing a temper tantrum.

No chance of that. I automatically filter out idiotic nonsense.
@oralloy,
Hahaha.. you automatically filter out some stuff alright, but it's not nonsense. It's decency and humanity.
