"Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.
"

This is beyond comprehension. :confused:


Consider the people in the white house and congress now and 18 months ago, and who is likely even more pissed off than before.....

Oddly enough, those most pushing for violence are the ones who most hate the 2A.

Not surprised, are you?

A long but highly interesting read.

Pretty clear to me. Extremists on both sides of the debate and literally anywhere in the country.

It was clear enough, just not true.

Seems some want to divide us using any means possible..shoving those of us in the middle towards one extreme end or the other..

Used to be politics, race, religion and wealth...things we knew better than to discuss with everyone due to their diverse nature..

Heck we added gender to the list as I guess we didn't have enough to piss each other off about already...

Not so amazing some don’t like what they see when they see themselves in others.

In Back to the Future, Biff Tannen is punched by George McFly it was the highlight of the movie. Now Biff wants to play victim.

When one gets what they tempt people to do no one cares about the crocodile tears.

If yas think the guy in Knorb’s video needs a dentist appointment, now you understand.

The loud are in self convincing mode, the silent are thinking about the most efficient way to deliver it. Beware of the silent ones.

Ya get what ya pay for and the audience applauds.

Don't take my lack of rebuttal as agreement or lack of argument. I'm trying to abide by the rules here.

Only one side can commit $2 billion in damages all over the country crying like a bunch of brats and then continue to say "its both sides". But I digress... hey, if they want to keep assassinating strong political figures, who aren't even jn government. You can bet the other side is going to bite back with a vengeance one day. You cant poke the bear for too long and not expect it to strike back.
