Trump was right on Belgium too... (it is tragic that he is so correct)

  1. Our political agenda encourages immigration and terrorism. There's a "reason" behind it all, but none of it is in the interest of America the country or our people.

    :(

  2. Like here, liberals are highly tolerant of speech they agree with. Everyone else however must shut up or they will throw a tantrum.

    A cartoon?

    I think you should read it again... you have your dates wrong.

    Trump made his statement about Brussels back in January. the new york times gave him shit for it back then.

    it reminds me of the media making fun of Romney for saying Russia was out number 1 geopolitical foe.

    A person speaks the plain as day truth and morons on the left listen to the mass media instead of using their brains.

    is that Orwellian Newspeak?
    freedom of speech as long as it supports the party line?

    Freedom of speech is not absolute. Every society draws lines on it, as they should. I'm sure any thinking adult can come up with some examples where certain speech and certain circumstances cross a line.

  6. yeah, except we see more and more lines drawn and fewer and fewer stories of the freedom protected, let alone expanded

    Does that apply to freedom of thought as well in your opinion? Is freedom of thought absolute or not?

  8. I guess it would depend on how you express your thought. If it is in words we can all understand then it could go before a court. But if it is in symbols or flags, we would have to think about it. But if it is in art or music, well, then, that would be a real pickle.

    An old joke some inmates used to tell...

    Convict, after being sentenced: Your honor, what would you do if I said you're an asshole?
    Judge: I'd find you in contempt of court.
    Convict: What would you do if I thought you're an asshole.
    Judge: Nothing, there's no law against thinking.
    Convict: Ok, I think you're an asshole!

    How are my dates wrong? He made those statements after the Paris attacks. We all knew were were looking for the Paris suspects near Brussels. The cell needed to act once Abdeslam was captured as he didn't detonate his vest and was obviously connected to the Belgian cell and would talk when captured.

    You sir, are an idiot.
