Good picture! Who is the guy you are with?
Chief of Staff, General Sullivan. This was in 1992 or 1993 I think.
Good picture! Who is the guy you are with?
Yes, you are right. There are other sources that I use. So I go back to my original statement. It is the Right that is far more likely to misrepresenting the Left. I'm sure it does happen the other way around ("Cling to God and guns" for example), but it is far less prevalent.
Go back through this thread and see who assigns beliefs to the other side.
And again, I'm not assigning beliefs to the other side, I'm just pointing out that it has been done.
Wait, are you being serious? You assign your beliefs to the right (that they are more likely to misrepresent the left) and then actually say that you're not assigning beliefs to the right? Come on, this is a performance piece, now, right?
Go check out the other politics thread here, and see how often the right is categorized as racists, for just one example. Heck, in this thread the idiots in Oregon have been called Yee Hawists and Y'all Queda (despite the fact that they don't say y'all out there). There have been distinct calls for the extermination of those idiots by people identifying as leftists. Like, they wanted them all killed. And it's the right that misrepresents the left more often. Dude, you need to get new glasses, because that's the standard tone of political discourse in the US for both sides.
And, to be perfectly clear, I'm very often disgusted by my own ideological side for the crappy name calling and assumptions of evil they make. I, quite often, get yelled at by both sides.
I have 3 guns currently in my house. Now that my kids are getting older I'm considering getting rid of them.

So objectively, it does seem the right lies more than the left.
Unfortunately, the right, or at least its prominent representatives, also seem to try to deny people their civil rights more than the left. And that's a rather ironic turn of events given that southern democrats were historically the ones opposed to integration of schools and the civil rights movement.

Sky falling? No. Voter suppression? Yes.
I also note that whatever onerous restrictions you think the left are putting on gun ownership, somehow we manage to have more guns in Americans' hands than we have Americans. The latest stats say there are 112 firearms out there per 100 people. Clearly those barriers, supported by about 72% of the US population (considerably more than those identifying as liberal), aren't doing squat.
Much more primal? Not when it comes to participation in the political system and that deals with issues far broader than self-defense. When you consider that people are about 32x more likely to kill themselves than an assailant, maybe self-defense should be considered a much smaller issue than "primal".
Your point is inaccurate. Unless you are casting a vote to kill someone, voting doesn't kill. Firearms, by contrast, have the primary purpose of wounding living things and/or taking the lives of living things.
Also, a suppressor is not a firearm. It is an accessory that is not necessary to the exercise of one's second amendment rights.
Oh, and Morlock keeps talking the tough guy talk about being ready to kill 24/7. That's such a load of bollocks. Let me tell you dude, from first hand experience. You don't ever want to know what it's like to kill another human being or see another human being get killed in front of you. EVER.
