    Sorry, but I don't know anyone in the narcotics trade. Unfortunately for you, you're going to have to address my arguments and not some made up assumption. Murders should be punished and punished harshly up to and including the death penalty. This has nothing to do with the BS laws I'm talking about. Parse the difference between drug dealing and murder.

    Remember we are having the same arguments the prohibitionists and the anti-prohibitionist had during the prohibition era. This is the same thing despite your favorable bias towards alcohol.

    Thank you, and I'll admit that I am stunned to realize that you are right in saying that major corporations use convicted prisoners in their labor force for more than just menial labor: http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/10...efiting-from-the-prison-industrial-complex/6/ . I was wrong, and you were right! Gotta admit this, because you have spoken the truth about this!

    I will alter my purchasing activity accordingly. I don't want any convict making my reservations, or collecting any of my personal data.

    If I were king, I'd have every single adult gang member who was a 3+ time offender executed.

    Punish the felons. The only way to discourage gangs.

    First, thanks for hearing me out. I also want to add you make a good point. Someone in prison collecting your personal information doesn't sit with me either.

    Why not execute them the first time they committed a violent act against another? I think this is more fair. You'd just have to parse out drug crimes from violent crimes.

    The war on drugs is a failure. It hasn't discouraged gangs.

    Good thing Obama took upon himself to help murder Kaddafi, eh? Everyone was warned about what Libya would become. Ironic that slavery thrives in the land Obama liberated...

    Was he? Gadaffi has no friends.. In the end neither Chavez nor Mugbe would offer him sanctuary in exile.

    Bush made a mistake. He thought Gadaffi had changed. Under Obama the best we could hope for post Gadaffi was a return to the Idris Constitution.. That was the hope of Ambassador Stevens as well.

    This isn't on Bush, Bush did not bomb Libya, Obama did. Don't even go there. This is Obama's baby, and Congress had no part of it. I suppose if you bring in Benghazi, you could add Hillary's failures to the mix as well...

    #1. I agree with your post and the article. My laughter did not involve the actual article. It was just an observation post regarding RW posting habits.
    #2. I'm just laughing at the general hypocrisy by RW posters (on really any site) and the subjective viewpoint of "fake news", even though a majority of the investigative reporting and facts they use comes from all these "fake news" outlets.

    You know by the time the embassies had closed and evacuated and the 7 oil companies had evacuated all their employees Libyan refugees were flooding into Italy.. that's why NATO acted. Gadaffi had promised blood in the streets.

    Gadaffi had no education and came to power at age 27 .. he was always a bad actor.. stupid and cruel.

    Gadaffi kept the peace, now Libya is a terrorist haven and there are slave markets open enough for journalists to find them. This is Obama's baby, no excuses will change that. You can stop deflecting now...

    Obama has nothing to do with the Arab Spring in Libya nor could he control the Arab street. That's magical thinking.

    Okay then.

    So you didn't just know them you were friends or at least had some form of relationship between you all? If that's the case, then fine then.

    Enough, and I also have white family members. You'll notice I don't use them as a crutch when the race issue is brought up, however.

    None of which negates the flag being a symbol of slavery and finding a handful of black people who say otherwise doesn't change it.

    You do not get to decide what a thing symbolizes. You do not get to decide for me what it symbolizes.

    Ah, the legacy of Hillary and Barry. Own this Obama. You created it. You endeavored to ensure it would continue in the world.

    Hmm.. So, let's start banishing folks. And while we're at it, why not enforce immigration laws so we could actually reduce the human trafficking and slavery so widely supported by liberals these days.

    LW logic. All we have to do is show it on TV and folks won't ever connect it back to us... Maybe, Barry needs to return his peace prize now that we see the fruits of his "peace" policy....
