Have you ever heard of a government that didn't rationalize protecting themselves AS protecting the people?
If you knew anything about the Civil War, you'd know that it has already applied. BUT, call for secession in your state, bring it to a vote, don't feel you have to blow (*)(*)(*)(*) up, and I'll support your move.
The driving lesson of that war is that even though states have the right to secede, the national government will use illegal force to dragoon them back into the union. Any seceding state will have to "blow (*)(*)(*)(*) up" because they won't be left to depart peacefully.
I've never heard of our gov't ever admitting they were protecting themselves in the first place, let alone rationalizing it as you suggest. We all know what they're doing, but strangely enough we don't hold them accountable for it.
BS you will. You just called for people to be HUNG for merely proposing secession...but now you say you'll support them. Let's not pretend that you didn't just say the following:
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. Calling for VIOLENT overthrow or secession should get your arse hung. I think you knew what I meant but you're one of those Republicans who stays up all night parsing words and meanings. That said, I'd be happy to see every state in the old confederacy leave. Just take your portion of the national debt with you and it's buh-bye.
I think you'd be surprised. I, for one, would be happy to see the entire Southeast pack up an go with the possible exception of Florida because I don't think it would want to go.. You can count on my support for your peaceful, democratic, secessionist movement, but I doubt you would ever allow the people of your state to vote on it.
If you want hate, watch MSNBC who have had to apologize several times for their blatant hate speech. You want Fox News off the air so that the Obamaphiles can have EVERY channel spewing lies and liberal propaganda 24/7 with no alternative.
Here's a snippet of how Fox lies. [video=youtube;JS1NWYV1i_E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS1NWYV1i_E[/video]
I live in Idaho. We're on the short list for secession that includes Alaska, Texas, Montana, Arizona, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. - - - Updated - - - Hating, lying, and shutting down dissent is what they do best.
Bill O'reilly & Hannity overtalked and tried mocking army vets who didn't support bush jr..yet they blare how they "support the troops" yea if they agree with them...
I didn't contribute to anything. Everyone already decided to take it amongst themselves to debate the merits/fallacies of Fox News all on their own.
You're really not doing well with this. I'm not a Republican, so that's just one more thing to add to the long list of things that you just can't comprehend. Look, I find your contempt for free speech despicable but what I find even more repulsive is your backpedaling and inability to own up to your own position, as ignorant as it may be. Your words were very clear. You stated a desire to have people killed merely for words that may come dribbling out of their mouths. There isn't much more to say on the matter. I just thank the heavens that your ignorant and murderous position is in the minority in this country. Have a nice day.
Absolutely, but it depends on what those words are. Words CAUSE deaths, and when they do you should hang. Surely you can understand that much, sonny.
Then, by your own rationale, you should be hung since you are here using words to advocate for the death of others. Uh-oh!!

There are plenty of other networks and TV shows who counter what Fox News has to say, that's the beauty of free speech and freedom of the press
What's pretty weak? Your rationale that people should be killed for uttering certain words? Yes, that is weak. Weak and cowardly. Look, you said it, now own it.
Who said I don't own it? I'm proud to own it. Hiding behind the 1st Amendment is, by anyone's standards, weak and cowardly.
By "own it" do you mean that you are going to hang yourself for advocating violence as you stated should be the case? I certainly hope not.
I get it...you think that your draconian laws should only apply to other people. I doubt anyone is surprised.
