Guard Dog Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 RIP George Bush. He was from a different time. He was certainly not hesitant to use negative comments to disparage opponents but there was never the meanness or absolutism we have today. He & Bill Clinton were the last holdouts from a time when political opponents were just people with differing ideas. People you were friends with otherwise. Not evil incarnate as they are seen today. He was the last WWII Veteran to serve. Actually he was the last combat veteran of any conflict to serve for what that is worth. You'd think President's who had seen war first hand would not be so cavalier about sending his countrymen into another one but even a casual look at our history shows that isn't true. As far as his place in history I think he was a middle of the road, caretaker President who made some mistakes and did some things right. Certainly not the worst and not counted among the good ones. He was honest and even tempered (relatively speaking considering his peers then and now) 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromnir Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 So I guess bump stocks are out. Where my cold dead hands people at? all the second amendment honks we personal know were okie dokie with bump stock prohibitions. most such folks we know were genuine curious why such prohibitions has taken so long to be implemented, 'cause almost nobody were against such. automatic weapons has been banned w/o much nra resistance for some time. whenever pundits at cnn misrepresented semi-automatic rifles as being equivalent to full-auto machine guns, folks with firing neurons would roll their eyes and attempt to once again explain the fundamental difference 'tween automatic and semi-auto weapons. "of course automatic weapons are illegal." las vegas happened. were a shock to many gun folks. see video from the mass shooting and hear the rapid-fire gun shots. sounded like automatic weapon fire. knowledgeable folks seeing/hearing initial vegas video assumed the shooter were using automatic weapons, which were already prohibited, so no real need for change to laws, eh? bump stocks came as a shock to many gun folks, but las vegas made the shock particular disturbing. again, all the gun folks we personal know has been in agreement regarding automatic weapons = bad. this were never a cold dead hands issue 'cause emotional and psychological, gun folks were already opposed to what bump stocks do. for years such gun folks had accepted and were in agreement with automatic weapon bans. discover bump stocks could effective transform semi-auto into auto were disconcerting to such folk and most we know were wondering how such modifications could be legal.

"I want a kinder, more gentle nation" -George H.W Bush Ah, the revision begins. I'm sure the usual, priestly talking heads are busy sanctifying the man, they earlier this year fell on with #metoo shenanigans, because Americans have the attention span of gold fish and the memories of gnats. I'm also certain we're knocking on his big dream of a friendlier, social credit America policing itself into oblivion. No. In reality, he and Cheney were and are disgusting sycophants. Of course, President Bush wasn't allowed to just enjoy the show quietly. He hobnobbed with country stars and celebrities and offered this memorable zinger: "When I need a little free advice about Saddam [Hussein], I turn to country music" (quote via Entertainment Weekly).

Zoraptor Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 When will the world wake up to the brutal suppression the Macron Regime is visiting upon its populace? La Shabiha has already injured more than 100 peaceful protesters and the security apparatus has detained nearly 400 yellow jacket activists as well as using chemical agents and armoured vehicles on protesting groups. We need a no fly zone and a UN resolution demanding Macron step down, and if this does not happen I hope the East will step up to the plate with appropriate support for select vetted peaceful moderate groups- AKs, Kornet's, Konkurs, SA-7, Fagots, Malyutka and maybe a Buk-M2 and T72B3 or so. I'm sure the vetting will be so good so we won't end up with L'Etat Islamique Fraternique de France beheading people including foreign nationals publicly in slickly produced videos (albeit that's not as classy as having David do propaganda paintings for you like OG LEFF), or alternatively spending hundreds of millions to have 6 vetted individuals left after the rest immediately defect to Le Front Supportif, a subsidiary group of Le Network. Seriously though, it is kind of amusing watching the Macron Narrative fall apart. Who would have thought that labeling a completely orthodox centre-right economic policy as a startling and new paradigm shift wouldn't work long term? Pas de merde that massively regressive fuel taxes are horribly unpopular, especially in a country with a tradition of protest like France, they're unpopular enough here where we have a tradition of being merely mildly miffed. Just buy an electric car guys, I'm sure you've got the 25k Euro hidden down the back of your sofa, much as you had the 15k Euro a few years ago everyone was recommending the diesels they now want to get rid of. Yeah, nah, of course the people who end up paying the taxes are precisely those who can't afford to just buy an electric car while subsidising people with said spare 25k Euro to boot. At least Paris has a decent public transport system when it's actually running and not on strike, and so long as you don't mind les gamins going through the stuff they're pickpocketed off other travelers in the seats next to you (this literally happened last time I was in Paris going to the Bois de Vincennes, along with them riding a bike up and down the aisle. It was, at least, a memorable trip). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon my French That is then better than most French companies as they usually don't like anybody who isn't French especially if they don't speak French. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/28/emmanuel-macron-keeps-france-climate-change-tax-de/ There have been several agreements to make France more " ozone friendly " and Macron is simply following what was agreed to in the Paris accord. These violent protests cannot be acceptable and it seems incongruous that we are fine with this violence because.....French companies like there staff to speak French. All the private sector companies I have ever worked for have an English language policy. If you dont speak English you wont get employed, thats how it is France needs to address this anarchy or agreements like the Paris accord become moot, to quote Macron from the link “You cannot be pro-environment on Monday and then when Tuesday comes be against rising fuel prices,” Don't pardon your French. The French deserve all the trash they get. No mercy for the French. Be they from France, Kanada, or Quebec. volo, dont be ungrateful....think of all the good the French have done for Canada.
