    LOL, yes that must be it.

    Honestly, I admire your resolve. You have been laughed off these forums so many times, I can't believe you still come back. Props to you!

    When idiots laugh it doesn't have much effect. The idiots here laugh a lot despite the fact that they are the joke.

    Don't let any more Christians into the country, for one.
    And no more churches. I know that there are some good Christians, but we just can't take the chance that they won't use churches to meet up and plan to kill innocent people.

    You know well that's not going to work. They will lie and said they are Muslim.

    Just like how predicted. Idiots would come out of the sewer and say "if they were black.... If they were muslims....." Oh shut up and shove your agenda down your own throats.

    You predicted people would point out the dichotomy of how law enforcement treats people based on race in a country with a long history of exactly that. Damn, you're good.

    The very recent history of it certainly begs the question. These are the same group that pointed weapons at and threatened federal officials previously. Why weren't they prosecuted then? What is it they have to do to be arrested for continually breaking the law while brandishing weapons? Open carry doesnt mean you can point your rifle at law enforcement and dare them to enforce the law.

    Predicted that people would point out what they ignorantly believe to be a dichotomy of how law enforcement treats people based on race. I mean, predicting the ignorance of those kinds of people is like shooting fish in a barrel though, not really special.

    Sad this has to be explained to people. Critical thinking for the win... I guess.

    Anyway, so one of the dudes leading this is the son of another rancher who fought the Feds so he could have free land to graze his animals. I wonder if Jr. is just making another land grab? Sounds like money motive and not some anti-gubmint principle in action.

    They would if they could, the ignorance is just too much a part of what they are for that.


    Of course, that said, they took up arms against the US so as far as I'm concerned they should be killed.

    Did George Washington's militia ask for soap and shampoo?

    Among other things, absolutely. They were constantly having to beg, borrow, and steal for supplies because they weren't supported very well. Washington's Army had shortages when it came to damn near everything for nearly the entire war.

    Of course that's probably not the answer you were looking for, and it's not relevant here.
