They still hold a ban on all right-wing activities in Germany. I think it'll benefit the United States in the long term if Republican Party was banned and the supporters have to create a new third-party to hold most of their right-wing ideology?

This is not your grandfather's Republican Party, people. It's been taken over but fundies and loons.

There is no prohibition on right wing politics in Germany you moron. Just Nazism.

5. I think that something like this DOES need to happen
   
Pre-emptive war and torture are things that need to be considered illegal in our national dialogue. That means the Republican party needs to be disbanded.

6. No
   
I will agree that many people in the GOP are perfectly happy with fascism, human rights abuses and stolen elections and will lie through their teeth about what they've done, will do and stand for to achieve it (almost 100% of the GOP talking points are lies at this point). However those people can be pursued under existing or strengthened laws protecting individual liberties or civil rights.

I would support a law forcing RW radio hosts to admit when they are wrong or lying, and prosecution of Rove and all the others as well as a new 9/11 investigation and election fraud investigation. But you don't need to ban the GOP.

13. Are you serious?
   
I'm sorry I have to sound like a fundie, but this idea is unamerican to its purists form. I support the constitution, and the right for political parties to meet.

The Republican party went to far right, and America is rejecting them finally. Democracy in action.

20. I don't want to live in an America that outlaws an ideology.
   
Even one as repellent as that held by today's extreme right. Democracy is messy stuff. Let it be.

Ahh right to the true hopes of their black little hearts. Thankfully, there are few voices of reason in there as to how totally unconstitutional the moonbats suggestion is.

Tell us again DUmmies who the facists are.

The original poster is a primitive who's for several years always threatened to "get taken down" one web-site or another--he tried it with Scamdy, but he's also tried it with many others--but quite obviously failed.

Allegedly a computer geek.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive is deaf, although I think not from birth; it came upon him slowly, if memory serves me correctly.  He's got a lot of bitterness and anger about it, and it shows in much of his posting.

A most curious philosophy of the primitives, this idea that one can "get better" by being bitter and angry about something that's lost, or never had.

I've never known it to work.

The cross-eyed Iowa primitive was the one who arranged the primitive get-together in Denver during the Democrat National Convention.....but then omitted to invite the most prominent primitive from the Mile-High City, the perpetually homeless bobbling primitive.

Iowans can be weird sometimes.

[jukin]

Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.

Scratch a DUmmy, find a brown shirt.

As my father would say, you can tell a lot of what a person would do by what they accuse others of doing.

Bring it, ****ers.

The Jews weren't armed, by and large.  The dickless libtards aren't either.

[LC EFA]

Bring it, ****ers.

Liberals are like worms. They don't have the testicular fortitude or strength of arm to openly act. Yet.

They must operate covertly by legislation from the bench, sly subversion and intentional misapplication of the judicial system to ensure that their ideological enemies are powerless or *legally* in the wrong before they can openly act.

Which is exactly why they support someone like Obama and violations of the 1st Amendment like the Fairness Doctorine.


Like with their paycheck and healthcare...the DUmmies want the Federal Government to do the work for them.

Pretty sad when you're so spinless you have to depend on someone else to be a bully for you.

[USA4ME]

I was confident that should Dems retake the WH and Congress that kooks like this would be suggesting things happen to their opposition that, had it been suggested by their opposition that it be done to them 8 years ago, would have been screaming "fascist" or whatever term they felt would draw attention to themselves and their victimhood.

I'm placing this in the same category of Dems doing the exact same things Bush would have done but it being OK now because its a Dem doing it.  Libs have no core beliefs except being opposed to things done by conservatives, and so you get immature rants like the cross-eyed Iowa primitive posted.

Addition in italics, above, by franksolich.

Well, I dunno; whatever happens--and it remains highly likely that whatever happens is what this side wishes will happen--decent and civilized people will not go away, will not evaporate from the face of the earth.

As we all know, the primitives don't know shit about history.

Take, for example, the so-called "religious right." 

The "religious right" did not exist prior to the administration of the Incompetent One 1977-1981.

And then it suddenly, abruptly, unexpectedly, popped into being.

Why was that?

When the Democrats took over the White House in 1977--they already had Congress and the Supreme Court--in their arrogance and elitism they started telling certain people they didn't matter, they were irrelevant, they didn't count.

Tell a man (but not a primitive) he doesn't count, and one suddenly finds out he counts for a great deal.

And so BOOOOM!!!! the "religious right," which counted for a great deal after all.

If anyone wishes to place any blame for the existence of the "religious right," one need look no further than the Incompetent One and his acolytes.

If I'm wrong, and if in fact the Big Zero wins the presidency, it wouldn't surprise me the least if we witnessed a resurgence of decent and civilized people that would make the "religious right" of the late 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s seem small in comparison.

(Explanation about putting "religious right" in quotation marks, as no disparagement is intended; the religious right never had the power Democrats, liberals, and primitives thought it had.)

Obama doesn't support the Fairness Doctrine. Per Mark Levin, he supports something MUCH, MUCH worse, some kind of local content rule. From the way he was explaining it, it would kill syndication.

Outlawing guns wouldn't cause armed revolt, just lots of digging, but outlawing a political party likely would.  BTW Reb, how do you like that folder?  I'd kinda like to get one for my FAL eventually, just wondering if they are good and tight, and how they affect function.

That's an image from Wiki. My FN-FAL doesn't have a folding stock. Most of my firearms are also at my parent's house. I never went to retrieve them when we moved into our home. I didn't want to keep them in the apartment while we were building. ..I also don't take pics of my firearms.

As for the firearm itself, I love it. Just make sure the flash suppressor is secured tightly before you fire a round downrange. I lost one that way. 

[DumbAss Tanker]

Agree on the FAL, they are the most underappreciated but most sturdy and powerful EBRs you can get...a superb all-purpose Soldier's rifle.
