Israel should receive zero dollars from us.
I disagree

So I take it you don't believe in any age restrictions on gun purchases and you feel you have the right to dictate to women/other families what they can do with their bodies? While I may not choose abortion personally, I am not arrogant enough to think I have a right to tell you and your wife what you should do with your pregnancy circumstance. I bet any woman forced to bear a child better be able to support that child and live without government assistance too, right?
How do you feel about the 38 Billion dollars we give Israel?
View attachment 63073 Just helping you out. That's the Florida shooter practicing in his back yard. As stated earlier, we can play the "let's find a criminal to support our narrative" all day. I readily admit there are kooks of all hues and affiliations. Do you?
I agree with a lot of what you say regarding checks and balance and putting country first instead of party first. However, I am concerned that if the Democrats take control then we will see major legislation limiting gun rights. We all know now that Trump is too weak to push back against this legislation. If Trump is removed from office, and we get Pence, I don't know where he stands on gun rights.
I disagree
Who signed the assault weapon ban? Reagan, a Republican. Who is instructing DOJ to reinterpret existing law (wtf, chuck?) so as to ban bumpstocks all across the country ? Trump, a republican. Who banned bumpstocks in Florida, and raised the purchase age on all firearms to 21? Scott, a republican.
I'm not sold on the fact that it's Democrat's we need to look out for.

I don't. We've supported them long enough. If they can't figure out how to get along with thier neighbors by now, tough shit.
My position is on a different track. Jews have some extreme double standards they operate by. The churches tell me I'm supposed to "stand with Israel", and of course that means "vote republican", because the republicans work with the Israeli government better than the democrats, theoretically. But the vast majority of American Jews vote democrat. Jews in both countries support secure borders in Israel, but increased refugee and immigration movement into the US.
Also, according to Pew Research, Christians in the US have a 34% favorable rating among American Jews, while over 80% of Christians view Jews favorably. Muslims have a slightly higher favorability rating among Jews in the US than Christians. So according to Pew Research, Jews view Muslims slightly more favorably than they view Christians. Strange, that.
Sure. But certain hues seem to be prone to violence more readily than other hues per capita. The FBI stats page tracks it.
I dont disagree with you. It's an apartheid nationWhich is their right. Besides (arrogantly) thinking God needs our mortal help keeping it together as a nation state, there's simply no other reason to be there. Not if your country stands for human rights.

There we go...... So you think that Blacks are hardwired differently? Friend, I can pull up stats to support anything. I bet there are more Caucasian criminals, meth heads and opioids addicts in Jay than any other demographic? Why ..... because Jay is predominantly Caucasian. The FBI crime stats you readily point to can be misleading if taken out of context. There are many contributing factors that lead to it. Genetics is not one. Under the right or wrong circumstances, anyone will revert to violence. I bet the Las Vegas Shooter racked up more kills than every minority committed murder in the last 10 years in NW Florida combined?
I didn't take anything out of context. I referenced the FBI crime stats page. You're free to browse it at will, but if you do, you'll realize that you aren't going to be able to escape the fact that certain races in the US are responsible for a disproportionately higher rate of violent crime than others. Two facts: 1) Those races need to figure that shit out on their own, and start with cultural norms. 2) Can't blame whitey for it, no matter how you twist the stats.
Last comment on this topic because it is clear you have long-held beliefs and no debate with me, or anyone, will change that. Not sure what the "blame" thing is all about, but I'm sure you truly believe what you think. Sorry you have to work 12 hours tonight. I just finished 30 years in the Marine Corps and worked with every race and can tell you from my experience, there is crap everywhere. Sorry you can't see that.
I am more worried about retaining a majority in the House this November. That is absolutely critical! If that does not happen, then all that the POTUS has been accomplishing and wants to do will be stopped dead in its tracks. .
