Are you in support of people being able to do as they please with guns? Or are you concerned about slippery slope?
People say that on both sides of the isle at every presidential election. It's usually followed by threats to move to another country.
The Executive is responsible for implementation guidance and directives via the Cabinet (and some non-cabinet) Agencies. They promulgate regulations that are binding on businesses and citizenry alike. Congress makes the law that brings into existence the requirement for the Executive Agency to do its job.
How do I stand to gain?Depends, if you are a working stiff you will gain more taxes, higher insurance costs, and if you happen to be white and male you will continue to be blamed for all the worlds ills until such time as they round all of you up and put you in special re-education camps where they actually turn you into Soylent Green.
The Left has NPR and that's really all they need. It's been around forever and will continue on I'm sure.
What!!?? Are you kidding me??! Name one conservative talk show that actually participates in a two way discussion. They use the same "debate" tactics seen here. Insult, name call, shout down with pre-perpared stock answers and when all else fails, hang up on the caller. I listen to Rush, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity on a pretty regular basis when I'm driving. I flip flop between them and NPR. I only have respect for Mark Levin but even he is prone to ridiculous theatrics and abusive treatment of anybody that doesn't brown nose him on the phone.
There was a guy they used to have on named John Bachelor who was conservative and had fascinating shows, but they dropped him here because I believe he made people think and people don't want to do that. They just want to hear the words and then repeat them. His show was like a conservative version of NPR with guests on to discuss things instead of just the idiots of America calling in.
In large measure that experiment has not been proved here at this site. We are mostly full of right-wingers. Granted, the rise of Trump has caused some dissention in that group. But we have very few of the "other side" here. Steingar toughs it out but has nearly been driven off at times. MarkZ comes around every now and then. Jaybird is active. And I enjoy participating, though I'm frankly fairly varied and even-handed in my views for a liberal.It is for the same reason that liberal talk shows never survive. They can't backup their beliefs in a two way discussion.
More so than even the POA SZ, this site can tend to be a conservative circle-jerk.
If you're playing semantics, you're already in 2nd place.
