    Asking an empty closet what you should wear today would provide an equally helpful answer.

    It was such a good question too!

    It's a shame there isn't something like Google which could help people understand these things rather then asking for answers they'll ignore or attack in favor of their preferred beliefs.

    Which will continue, ad nauseum.

    It will be interesting to learn who or what is behind these mailings.

    In the mean time, the intellectually vacant will make definitive declarations, and the rest will recognize that it's simply interesting to discuss all the possibilities.

    You made a claim and can’t name any right wing terrorist groups. That’s telling.

    Oh Boo freakin Hoo! You don't like Trump...So you make **** up, and being historically illiterate, many in here rush to the "like" button to jump on board with this pile of steaming dung that you posted...Since the history teachers of current obviously failed to instruct you in historical fact, I present but one story from the annals of American historical fact...I give you the 'progressive' father, Woodrow Wilson....

    "Desperate to draft, train and ship an army of 4 million men to France, the Wilson administration decided that free and open debate was a luxury that the nation could not afford. The attorney general asked citizens to report anyone who seemed suspiciously unenthusiastic about the war, and federal agents soon spent countless hours tracking down bogus tips. Congress passed the Espionage Act, a law that proved useless in catching spies but empowered prosecutors to send thousands of anti-war speakers to jail, some for 10-year sentences. Another federal law threatened similar harsh punishment for anyone who spoke or wrote “any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the government, the Constitution, the flag or the armed forces. The U.S. Post Office used these laws to silence any publication that dared to challenge the government’s policy."

    snip

    "Not content to silence its critics, the Wilson administration took unprecedented control of the marketplace of ideas. Recruiting some of the nation’s finest writers, scholars and artists, the government “advertised America” at home and abroad. When the war broke out in August 1914, few observers on either side of the Atlantic could agree on the causes of this horrendous conflict. But by 1917, government propaganda portrayed the war as a cosmic clash between the forces of darkness and light. As a concerned journalist observed, the government “conscripted public opinion as they conscripted men and money and materials. … They goose-stepped it. They taught it to stand at attention and salute.

    "All this “fake news” had a terrifying effect. Across the country, Americans with a bad case of war fever attacked immigrants, pacifists, political radicals and sometimes just those stubborn individualists who dared to speak their mind in public. Men exercised their patriotism by flogging, tar and feathering, and lynching their fellow citizens."

    Pick up a damned book for Christ sake, and learn something before you take to your keyboard again and show who you are for all to see.

    There's at least two parallel, diametrically opposed universes out there.

    Wilson thought that segregation was necessary as well. He is the owner of Jim Crowe. Liberals never own their own....

    Liberal news organizations are ramping up their narrative today. Attempting to undermine the false flag operations aspects to focus on nothing but pushing the responsibility of mr Trump.

    I would point back to recent history when it was liberal agitators fire bombing republican offices in 2016 and the avalanche of liberal news reporting all claiming these attacks were perpetrated by conservatives to drive the victimization conversation... How soon liberals forget, or assume that folks will have.

    Google is your friend. To borrow from a post by a con here, Do your own research.

    Progressivism has always been a regressive hateful vile movement posing as "progress".

    If by nothing you mean the thread I started about it, I confess. :nod:

    I wish Al Gore had invented Google - then you could investigate!

    Oh well... :sad:

    When Aryan Nations hears about this, they'll be VERY disappointed in me. :(

    But speaking of telling, I hate to be a snitch, but the vast majority of domestic terrorism is committed by right-wing extremists.

    I wish there were some tool by which you could verify this, but as we both live in a small village in rural Massachusetts in 1801, I'm just dreaming here.

    I'd say more, but I have to go feed the chickens.

    To the cows! :eek: :eek:

    I'm really enjoying the new 'Trump as Victim' narrative.

    Conservatives are not gullible. Trump is not a conservative, and I don't know what he is. So please don't depict us as gullible. We are not gullible and that is why we conservatives (I am a moderate conservative) do not buy into his divisive and destructive rhetoric. Only his uninformed supporters have fallen for the con that he has foisted on them. Everything that you have posted about Trump is accurate and certainly not "fake" as his giddy flock would have us believe. Trump is a showman and his presentation is absorbed by
    his followers. Too bad for them.
