@Olivier5,
You know anything about chess, Ollie? There's what's called the "French Defense" in that game, eh? It arises when a player, playing the black pieces, makes his first move after white has played 1. P-K4.

What move makes it the French Defense, ya know?

@layman,
The other thing you could call what the fuckers are trying to do is a "color revolution". That's the term Soros, Nuland et. al. use for it...

The biggest frog joke in the world is the frogs electing a guy named Maricon to be their president....

The two of them were better off staying in the United States. There was a very large German presence in the colonies at the time, which is why you see all those German names in New York, Ohio, and particularly Pennsylvania.

Friedrich II once told the French philosopher Voltaire that if any of his soldiers ever thought about what the hell they were doing for 10 seconds they would all be gone. Most people would require two things to feel good about going into combat, that is, a decent cause and a reasonable chance to win. None of that was ever there in European wars between the beginning of the gunpowder age and the time of Napoleon; such wars were basically gang fights between Royal houses. All of the German names that you see in Pennsylvania involve descendants of the people who thought about it for 11 seconds.

There was actually a close vote on the question of an official language for the colonies, English winning out over German by one or two votes if what you read is to be believed.

Every foreigner, in every country in the world, would be better off today if their grandparents had come to America.

Most of them just weren't that bright, that's all.

They had their chance. We allowed unlimited immigration, back then. I mean, ****, we even let chinese coolies in. Too late now, sukkaz.

That's why the indigenous population population invited them, isn't it?

I don't blame gunga one bit at all. In the old days, prior to this past Monday, you could rely on murderous assholes with access to automatic weapons to only go after elementary school children or historic churches in South Carolina. After all,those are places where you should insist that teachers, 8 year olds and church goers be heavily armed and train constantly to maintain lightening quick reflexes.




As with most leftists you haven't the slightest clue on the subject of firearms, and you shouldn't speak about things you know nothing about.

The leftist political terroist was NOT armed with an automatic weapon. If he had been he probably would have hit a single thing.

@layman,
What you guys call the French defense is called in French la défense Philidor. It leads to solid (oftzn closed) games. I never play it, personally. I like the Sicilian better, or just the horsie in c6 after e5.

You wanna play, layboy?

NOW these pigs are saying "The hate must stop". Like I said, 'hypocrisy' just doesn't quite say it...

Gunga, Finn and Curious George are going to express their love for liberals and repudiate any hateful language towards then... anytime now.

They can't express what they ain't got any of...
From them, it would be progress to see just any small acknowledgement of where most of the vitriol has come from.

There simply isn't anything resembling moral equivalence in this picture. No republican has ever sat around listening to hate/kill rhetoric on a mainstream news venue until his mind imploded and then gone out and tried to exterminate the liberal side of congress.

G.O.P. Senators Might Not Realize It, but Not One State Supports the Republican Health Bill

It’s no secret that the American Health Care Act is unpopular. In recent national polls, only about 29 percent of Americans support the bill. It is the most unpopular piece of major legislation Congress has considered in decades — even more unloved than TARP (“the bailout”), and much more unpopular than the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Will Republican senators vote yes on a bill this unpopular? To hang on to their jobs, senators have to keep only voters in their own states happy, not the whole nation. Perhaps red-state senators, or even some senators in swing states, might think their states are friendlier to the bill than the nation as a whole.

Our research indicates that is not the case.

@blatham,
That's encouraging, a bit. If, acting solely in the interest of preserving their precious jobs they might back into voting against the poisonous, destructive "healthcare" bill, that'd be a good thing.

Depends if they are more afraid of disappointed Trump with another failed attempt to replacing Obamacare than they are of disappointing their voters.

@revelette1,
Yeah, I hear you. And another factor - As the ongoing drumbeat and pressure of investigation tightens around Trump, will a tipping point be reached when he becomes clearly more of a political liability to them than a scary influence?
