The left is all giddy that they can FINALLY point to someone who claims to have acted because he hates abortion (even though it sounds like he was a crazed drug addict). Woo hoo! We're finally right!! Let's ban guns now!!<br /><br /><i>//crickets</i><br /><br />Planned Parenthood in particular is super psyched because they can now pretend to be victims of their own scandal.<br /><br />The public, I doubt will care about the politics. They are just depressed that assholes like this exist and that good people need to die because of creatures like this.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-51935492172661412412015-11-29T21:39:26.309-05:002015-11-29T21:39:26.309-05:00Keep this in mind guys... the left has been blamin...Keep this in mind guys... the left has been blaming the GOP for "our failing education system" for decades even though there isn't a single conservative anywhere in the education system since the 1940's. So blaming the GOP for everything that is bad in Chicago is easy for them.<br /><br />In terms of the kid, I concur. Kids don't have anywhere near enough knowledge to be politically active at that age. They are just mouthpieces for their parents.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-68983991055156196412015-11-29T21:25:18.022-05:002015-11-29T21:25:18.022-05:00Hear hear, Anthony.

And as you said, how knowledgable can he be if he lays events in Chicago at Republicans' feet? tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-61390070400752730602015-11-29T16:10:29.009-05:002015-11-29T16:10:29.009-05:00The anti-abortion shooter (who I hope gets bunked ...The anti-abortion shooter (who I hope gets bunked with a guy nicknamed Ramrod) didn't do enough damage to change anyone's mind on anything so if nobody says anything stupid, it won't make the issue any bigger than it is (which is admittedly plenty big).<br /><br />As for Trump, I don't think his fans are bothered by his insults. He implied that a female reporter was on her period because she asked him tough questions. People who stuck with him after that aren't people who worry much about decency, they are looking for a talk radio style bomb thrower.<br /><br />One amusing story is how some 13 year old black conservative has abandoned the Republican party over that shooting in Chicago. I agree that criticism of police excesses isn't fashionable in Republican or conservative circles (outside of libertarians), but its worth noting Chicago is a Democrat run city and no Republicans were involved in that particular mess.<br /><br />I also think its amusing how much exposure this kid has got. Whenever I see a kid that obsessed with politics, I wonder about the level of behind the scenes parental involvement. Older teenagers and young adults becoming strongly political is kind of par for the course, but for a kid that young to be so preoccupied by politics is unusual.<br /><br />http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/27/politics/cj-pearson-conservative-teen-renounces-republicans/index.html<br /><br />The 13-year-old Internet phenom who gained national attention criticizing President Barack Obama and briefly was a part of the Ted Cruz campaign is renouncing conservatism, saying he's looking to be a voice unbound by party ideology.<br /><br />CJ Pearson told CNN on Friday that concerns about the Republican Party's viewpoints on racial and gender disparity as well as youth issues convinced him he could no longer be a mouthpiece for conservatism. <br /><br />"I was tired of being a champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination. Tired of being a champion of any cause that denies equal rights to every American. Tired of being a champion of a party that doesn't care about the issues important to young people," Pearson wrote in an email. <br /><br />--------------<br />Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-79623669526633566722015-11-27T17:27:13.731-05:002015-11-27T17:27:13.731-05:00In other news, we have some shooter in town.

So I think it's relevant to point out that he's lost 12% points in the five day rolling average (meaning it's a much bigger loss) after (1) saying he wants to register Muslims, (2) claiming he saw thousands of Muslims cheering 9/11, and (3) mocking a disabled reporter for his disability.<br /><br />It sounds like Trump may have finally worn out his welcome with his supporters... who maxed out exactly at the level of support of the "anybody but Romney" coalition.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-52652725829897078822015-11-26T13:21:23.043-05:002015-11-26T13:21:23.043-05:00Happy Thanksgiving Everyone..after dinner myself a...Happy Thanksgiving Everyone..after dinner myself and my grand-kids are going to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving...Critchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106908233705403513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-63529486552560815512015-11-26T11:12:00.380-05:002015-11-26T11:12:00.380-05:00Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! :) Enjoy this tim...Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! :) Enjoy this time with your friends and family.

If I've seen one, I've seen a hundred articles on liberal sites about "How to win political arguments with your family this holiday season." Seriously, those guys are sick. Anyway, Gobble, Gobble, everyone! tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.com
