wrt to respect being earned...

maybe it isn't binary.  Maybe there are at least three levels... starting at neutral and earning points in either direction.  I'm reasonably confdent that you encountered Naval officers that you later realized were dumber than a box of rocks and others that were indeed very good people as well as good officers.  But you would still show respect to everyone, even the putz's (even if just respecting the rank).

I worked with a lot of USAF people, but I particularly remember working with a former Naval officer (don't remember the rank he had when he separated).  I was impressed with the respect he gave everyone, including people he disagreed with... it wasn't just words ("Sir" or "Yes sir" or "No sir")

Maybe.  But that means you are still evaluating the worthiness of respect against your personal moral code and so are others.  I submit what you're talking about is preference.  There are a few people I don't like, but they are all due respect.

This.  You cannot win with the left using logic, facts, or morals.  You must stand your ground on rights, period, not give an inch, and back it up with the very arms you’re talking about.  An armed populace is the only defense against tyranny and tyranny is the left’s goal.

Right - but we don't need to win the gun argument, we just need to stalemate it.  Meanwhile, change the script on them and start talking about violence.  Take the violence away and the left's gun ban argument goes out the window.  Meanwhile, everyone is safer.  Isn't that a win-win?

Maybe it's too idealistic to think we can ever get the majority people to really respect each other again.  Heck, there are people here who can't show respect to allies.  We're all too caught up in the "Respect is earned" slogan where we only value people who align to our unstated moral code and when they don't we categorize them as sub-human.  Try flipping that to "Respect is given" and practice that for a while in your life.  Respect everyone, even those you disagree with, especially those you disagree with.  If we could get most people to at least hear that message, life gets less nasty, brutish, and short for all of us.

So you all just want to talk about guns. Democrats control the conversation and you’re playing their game.

Change the game and set your own rules.

Meanwhile, dog bites man.

Not news.  Anyone who was listening knows this.  Anyone who hasn't been listening won't hear it now.

I am sorry.  This does nothing to sell these clothes.  If I were that fat, there are things way more flattering.  It's as if they are trying to be as ugly and disgusting as possible.

This is one of the new woke things. We are supposed to think this is "beautiful".  We are not supposed to say these young women are destroying their health.  I understand how difficult it is to be slim in today's age of sedentary lifestyle and abundant cheap carbs (wheat and corn still subsidized by the Federal Government).  But instead of addressing WHY the young are so fat so early, we are going to go into denial, suppress any discussion of the reality, and artificially elevate obesity to something admirable and desirable.

SICK SICK SICK

All part of the Democrat war on destroying what it means to be a woman.  Women's sports?  Beauty?  Equality?  All fed into the fire of wokeness.  They're done with sex and marriage, now they're coming for you.

The same week 21 people died in Texas in a school shooting, approx 7500 other people died to violent crime of all types, only about 40% of it gun related.  Clearly guns are not the cause of violence anymore than Toyota Corollas are the cause of drunk driving. 

Democrats are too focused on guns.  Let's talk about violence.  What are the causes of violence?  Tell me if I'm full of crap (about this)

1) Disregard for law - this starts at the presidency down.  Law is not viewed as something that makes the country run, it's a tool for those in power.  People reinterpret the law to fit their desire and that's reiterated when progressive DAs make public statements that they won't enforce certain laws.  Well if laws are invalid, then we just do whatever we want, right?

2) Egotism - there's too much self centeredness in the country and that is taught to children by schools and by culture.  Angry with the pretty girls who won't talk to you?  Well obviously the problem is with them, they should be killed, right?  Makes society better if they are.  Or, if you don't choose violence, go ahead and BECOME a pretty girl, there's always pervy teachers ready to help you self mutilate your body.  Screw the rules.

3) Lack of respect - I take it as a basic concept that people who respect others don't kill them.  But somewhere we left the concept of respect being due to every other human and turned it into "comply with my demands or die".  I remember an old Army ad, "Respect is earned, not given".  Was that an echo of the change or a cause of it?  In any case, every person is due respect.  Think of your worst enemy and the answer is not only yes, them too, but yes, especially them too.

What else?

I think very little of the problem is within the purview of the government or politicians to solve.  But as a start, We The People have to start talking about the problem and to some extent that means (Democrat) politicians have to stop talking about guns.  What's the chance they're going to listen and stop screwing this up?

A man can (pretend to) be a woman, but cannot wear a plaid skirt.

There isn’t anything more to say.  Other than FU and I will wear what I want.

This court says that doing so is unconstitutional therefore the ruling is invalid and abortion law goes back to the states until the House and Senate can create a law,…

But…if the ruling was that abortion is not a federal matter and belongs to the States, then Congress cannot make such a law either.  Because it’s outside the federal purview, it is outside of Congress’s purview too.

Which would be less likely to happen:

1) hiring a bunch of actors - none of whom spill the beans on the hoax

2) hiring a bunch of goons to be mules - none of whom spill the beans on the crimes committed.

3) Hiring a bunch of criminals dedicated who don't want to be caught committing the most massive voter fraud in US history.  My suspicion is that when we identify them, we will find out they are part of a group dedicated to attacking the US, such as Russia.

  Many would welcome him to back that up.  Can he take the time and go through the evidence and show us how it's "propaganda"?

Rhetorical.  Of course he cannot.

I have been challenging people I know on the left to watch the movie and then come back with an honest explanation of how there was no fraud.  I don't expect any of them to be able to do it.

I've withheld judgement because there hasn't been any hard evidence.  D'Souza has it.  It's factual, it's hard and it's scientific.  Anyone else can take the same data and figure it out.  There was fraud.

Beyond that - the numbers he is talking about explains the unlikely jump in Democrat turnout.  Taking a single county, Cobb County in Georgia,
2020 - Trump got 165,436 votes, Biden got 221,847. 
2016 - Trump got 152,602 votes, Hillary got 159,416. 

The 62,421 vote difference was chalked up to better democrat turnout.  Yes, a 39.15% increase is unlikely, but it wasn't proof.  The underlying proof of mules provided by D'Souza means that number is almost certainly fraudulent ballots and ballot harvesting by Democrats. 

Dems are already saying why the data is wrong (without examining it).  The repeated patterns of so many people intersecting at ballot boxes on a daily basis defies their explanations.  They say "they were poll workers" or "it's all innocent".  Rather than be aghast at the assault to the democratic process, they want to bury it.

That’s the data I want to see. Where is it? Nobody has been able to show me.

They can’t define covid vs non-covid deaths consistently, so the data you want does not exist.

No, I’m not naming anyone or suggesting anyone compare measurements. But I’ve long held that the people who are most vocal are probably compensating.

Hey - has Joe Biden called out the National Guard?  If they aren't needed, then why did they need a fence around the Supreme Court building?
