Also says globalism of liberal values is worth defending.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it France who has been the most outspoken nationalists since - forever? As I recall me French history, they have fought with EVERYONE in Europe and parts of the African and islands around them. Refused US troops on French soil under NATO command. they also just passed, and Macron signed a very tough new immigration bill: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43860880  to stem the tide of 'global' people from entering the country.

So, I think what he meant is: Nationalism, and being elite in France is good. Nationalism by the US, Russia, Germany, etc is bad - because, well they are not French.

Macron is a lightweight douche bag.

Macron is a twerp who apparently doesn’t know his own history. My dad has a picture of himself and another soldier standing next to the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. A couple weeks later he “earned” a Purple Heart in Macron’s ungrateful country as the front moved East.

He is a lightweight who must listen to CNN for his knowledge is the USA.

How do y'all feel about Navions tarted up as faux warbirds?

I'm looking to buy a Navion in a few months and I've noticed that a number of them have been painted in military markings.  I've never served in the military, and the particular aircraft has never been in the military.   I can see painting an aircraft to match my service, or having an actual warbird painted in its service colors.  But I see Navions in all sorts of military markings.  I can get past an ugly paintjob, but fake military just doesn't feel right to me.

I’m OK with that, because some Navions were Warbirds. They were initially built like brick shit houses by North American Aviation, manufacturer of the T-6, P-51, and the friggin’ Apollo Command/Service Module. 

They were built by NAA for about 18 months to keep employees busy until they could tool up to build the F-86 Sabre. At that point they sold the tooling and IP to Ryan.  Pretty cool lineage.

I do think having them painted in Military livery honors their service, even if that aircraft didn’t serve.

Plus, a Navion painted in military livery will get you into the Warbirds area at OSH. An RV with invasion stripes?  Uh, nope. Every year there seems to be one or two that try to get in, but they’re told to go to homebuilt parking. 

Frankly I’m way more offended by T-6, Mustangs or Corsairs painted up like race cars for Reno then I am with a Navion painted in olive drab. The former is a sin.

I agree.  I'm tired of the GOP sitting on their asses and not wanting to 'offend' anyone.  Considering myself an independent now.  It seems that both political parties have nothing on their minds except reelection and obtaining more power.

The GOP starts focusing on an election about 6 months out. The Democrats started the battle for 2020 on 11/7/18. Therein lies the problem. Political work ethic.

Don't screw around.  Retirement, reschmirement...

Go big or go home! 

Totally cannot get on board with the optimism in these last few posts!

Midterms showed us clearly where the trend is going. The kook Sinema is winning in AZ as they count. Will anything really be done about FL fraud? $69 million spent on Beto and he came very close. Look at MN! Ellison and Ohmar were ELECTED! As was the airhead Octavio Cortez! Come on, people!

Education controls the majority of the young. Socialism and open borders are the new hope for all!

The kind of bucks the globalist backers of the left have is inexhaustible. The constant barrage of falsehoods and criticism about the President and Republicans has not let up for one millisecond since the 2016 election. And it will not let up.

I’m not saying there won’t be a miracle. I pray there is. A massive exposure of the controlling evil, a takedown of top Dems for sedition or felonies, the mask ripped off the globalists’ nefarious dealings and deceptions, I hope, I hope!

But barring that, nope.

I agree. Sorry, Lucifer. But if after 2016 we can’t get on the leading edge of democratic cheating and work to prevent it, we are totally fucked for every future election. Without being called on it, prosecuted on it, jailed, the democrats and their sycophants will just laugh at us as they create their next fraudulent “blue wave.”  Im certain they are already working the voting lists in every ward, every precinct in the country looking for the names of people who didn’t vote in the last two elections, who will suddenly become democrat activists and vote in 2020, at least that’s what their voting records will show.

It’s sickening.

We're moving into criticism for the sake of acting like shit-for-brains. If it doesn't work for you, tell me why. If you don't like your gov change your gov. I can tell you what my gov would say right now: Everyone of lawful age is expected to be a member of the militia of the state. There are no restrictions aside from the standing fed restrictions on rockets, missiles, claymores, nuclear weapons, etc. No requirements for those people of good standing. Should one be convicted of high crimes or felonies, then no arms for them. Buildings and locations which the owner/manager deems as 'gun free' will be required to provide armed, and defensible security for those who visit the gun free location, and insure that no one ever brings arms inside, except for state LEO.

If y'all don't want to pony up your own suggestions, and leave it as is, then say that, and we'll live with the next massacre, and the next, and the next, and the next after that.

How exactly would the ideas in your original post stop the next massacre and the next and the next and the next after that?

I don't see this surviving a SC decision, and it would be challenged.

 It's a liberal wet dream.

I agree but can you imagine the disruption from Election Day (or the Electoral College vote day) to January 20th if the following year?  It would make Bush v Gore look like a checkers game.

Looks like two gov are going blue. IL and WI. Not surprised about WI, Walker is a slick talking doof.

Wisconsin shit the bed last night that’s for sure. It was a race that should have been like shooting fish in a barrel. Unemployment went from 9.6% to 2.9% in 8 years; property and income taxes are lower; more people are employed in Wisconsin than ever before. But because the haters just hated Walker, they would hav elected a salamander to replace him. 

I’m pissed off.
