Common sense Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Right wingers on CDC almost convinced me that guns are the only means of fighting against government oppression. Any time now, right guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockout Casualty Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, if you're going to go off with an baseless accusation like that, what's the alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well Occupy tried, but the right wingers seemed excited when the protesters got sprayed with pepper spray and gassed like Tahrir Square. That movement had majority support, was protesting all the things wrong with the system, and seemed to really put self-preservation behind standing up to the government. What was your opinion, I wonder. Government oppression doesn't need to be fought with guns when it has all the safeguards in place to be stopped (even prevented, much is implemented openly and cheered by authoritarian types, you know the ones), but the elected officials are allowed to openly remove them and get re-elected. Blame comfortable people who'll pretend to the last moment that nothing is wrong. Right until they lose their job and find that food stamps have been cut.

Electro Rock Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Not sure what you think the boomer generation has to do with this. The men behind this decision are:The infamous Clarence Thomas born June 23, 1948Samuel Alito 1950And the old timer of the group Antonin Scalia born 1936. Definately not a boomer. He is considered the intellectual anchor of the Court's conservative wing.What they do all share in common is their conservativism.As well they were all appointed by Ronald Regaen at one point in their careers to positions that set them on the way to the supreme court. In Scalias case he was appointed to the court directly. This seems to be more about the judges collective adherence to conservative values more than anything else. It's why they were put in to these postions to begin with. The question in my mind is what has the two term Democratic President done to balance these extremists in the Supreme Court?

Lockout Casualty Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 On the opposite side of the spectrum, Tea Party wants the government to have less power and insists that people be armed as a safeguard for freedom. Yet a bunch of leftist accused them all of being racists and bigots. Fundamentally speak, both Occupy and the Tea Party movement want very similar things. More rights for the people. Similar end goals, just different paths, and that's pretty much the sticky point. Instead of having a freedom vs authoritarian debate, it changes to a left vs right debate. I find that very sad as both are missing the big picture. /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The Occupy movement was a false opposition spawned by the statist elite while the Tea Party was hijacked by same. If you look at almost every oppressive regime, the use of false oppositions and false flags is standard operating procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 LOL, defending the Tea Party as a freedom loving, right wing alternative to Occupy? And not racist? Is this a joke? One can go on and on with these images from Tea Party rallies. Of course, it didn't start off this way. When it was Ron Paul's movement, it really was about freedom, but then it got hijacked by the lowest common denominator. Does the Tea Party still want government to have less power? Yes, when it comes to regulating polluting industry, finance, food stamps, and other "I'm not sure they're actually bad for us" aspects of government's duties. The Tea Party had Republican government darlings that they pushed into the House; it wasn't a movement to right the wrongs of America but to prevent "commie lefties" from "destroying America". Any suggestion otherwise is completely unfounded. Contrast that with Occupy - a non-partisan movement that was as opposed to Obama and Democrats as to any Republican you can think of. They were a movement started one the left, but they weren't a left wing movement (unlike the Tea Party). The stated goals may have sounded similar - "more rights for people" - but the Tea Party's goals came with an asterisk: *unless you're poor, female, minority, or gay. Nobody is missing the big picture (well, Tea Party did). Occupy was about tearing down the oppressive system (both left and right parts of it), Tea Party was about putting their brand of half-wits into power (successfully, too) so they could stick it to those left wing "socialists" (LOL).

Lockout Casualty Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Because requiring a "Rape-Free" zone where the Occupy movement is situated should be indicative that all members within that movement are a bunch of rapists, right? The answer is obviously no. There will always be bigots, morons, and other idiots who will use any movement to sprout off their backward ideologies. I know folks who really believe in the Tea Party movements, but they're not racists or gun-toting Americans. They're just regular steak/potatoes family with kids who just wants less government intervention in their lives. Yet, you think because they're Tea Party, they're automatically Bible-thumping, machine-gun carrying, KKK-affiliated, in-bred hicks. The Occupy movement has been/was hijacked by extreme socialist/communists and anarchists.... much like how the Tea Party has been overtaken by religious fundamentalists and lobbyists.
