    Using any type of accelerant in my state could find you charged with a class "E" felony depending on how it's used and if any material damage or injury occurs due to its use.

    Nothing to absorb the recoil? Try a butt plate . Although it sounds to me like your just making stuff up . Except of course the pumping hard part , I bet that's your expertise. Try some lubricating oil , should help .

    Think of something bad not commenced by Democrats.

    Slavery, them.
    Welfare, them
    Most wars, them
    Bird killing machines, them

    The truth isn't shocking. That is total nonsense. Trump's cluelessness is shocking. His lack of class and compassion is shocking. His ruthlessness is shocking. His lack of humanity is shocking.

    Lose your citizenship if you burn the flag? You don't see the problem with losing your rights for exercising your rights? And he isn't just voicing an opinion. He is the president elect. And he is showing himself to be tyrannical.

    You're correct. As a native New Yorker, I understand what he's saying. Whereas Midwesterners take quotes from Trump word for word.

    New Yorkers are masters at hyperbole.

    Yep, the Conservatives of the Civil Wat era did commit some real atrocities and then used their political power to oppress minorities for a century afterward.

    Why don't you tell us. I watched it. I heard his words. Like Trump. you are blaming the MSM for simply showing him saying what he says.

    Do you agree that I can burn trash inside city limits as my free speech protest of the landfill and openly carry a firearm as my free speech protest of it being illegal in my state?

    It is absurd that it is illegal to do any public burning in most cities - UNLESS you want to burn an American flag. Public burning is illegal in virtually every city in the country. So why wouldn't burning a flag also be a misdemeanor criminal offense of burning things in public? What about setting old tires on fire to protest they are not being recycled?

    So far, not one pro-flag-burner has given any explanation why it is uniquely legal to burn the flag and illegal to otherwise burn things if it is claimed it is for the purpose of protesting? If a person refused an exception to a zoning regulation could the person then as freedom of speech expression burn down a shed or their house within city limits that outlaw outdoor fires?

    This is such a lame and desperate argument. Slavery? What matters is this century. This claim is nothing less than lunacy. It is simple-minded to the point of being painful. Welfare? Yes, Democrats invented the safety net. The alternative seen during the depression was deemed unacceptable. Most wars have been justified or driven by forces beyond our control. But Democrats didn't invade the wrong country and blow up the Middle East. You can be sure that had Gore been in office, we never would have invaded Iraq.

    Bird killing machines? LOL!!! Yes, wind generators are a problem in some areas. But we kill people and spill millions of gallons of human blood to keep the oil supply going. You are out of touch with reality,

    You say that as if the two are mutually exclusive. I've lost count of the number of "translations" Trumpeters have offered for Trump's flip flops on the minimum wage, "taking out" the families of terrorists, whether or not the wall is meant to be literal, etc. etc.

    There is absolutely NO reason why Trump or anyone else has to agree with any decision of the US Supreme Court.

    I guess all people who openly oppose the Supreme Court ruling that PACs and corporations can spend as much as they want in politics are all haters of freedom and oppose the rule of law.

    He made a false claim. I'm not going to look up something I know isn't true. He made the claim. The burden of proof is on him, or you if you are going to defend him.

    But I understand that even basic logic eludes most trumpers.

    Are you saying that when Trump said that some people are criminals and some bring drugs and some are rapists and some are good people the media didn't change his words to say all Mexicans ?

    Who the hell is whining? I pointed out your guy's disregard for the 1st A. Of course I'll move on. No choice on that. I'll move on to become one of the most vocal critics of the worst presidential pick in the history of this country.

    If Trump flips your way, act pleased, be happy.

    We who voted for the man can do our best to find fault with him.
