What the h*ck is this! Let’s be very clear I don’t believe that African American people bring crime to suburbs and I’d welcome a diversification of suburbs, just look at how much better places like Orange County than flyover country in Appalachia. Also let’s be very clear a lot of the types of shootings that I’m worried about (such as school shootings) are not done by people of the African American race. Lastly, African Americans are not the primary users of drugs, the only reason they were targeted during the War on Drugs was because of the systemic racism present in predominantly white police departments. This is why we need mandatory racial bias training for all officers and those who fail the training must be terminated immediately without compensation. But sure go on about how I’m some closeted racist, when in fact, I’m a minority and like other minorities, I have not been a beneficiary of our “white-privilege” dominated society.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:39:25 pm » These freemen in Montana make me sick. They hole themselves up in their "compounds," refuse to pay taxes and expect to be treated like heroes. I have no problem with their being forcefully removed from the "compound." They are clearly breaking the law with the fraud charges not to mention the fact that they refuse to pay taxes. Paying taxes is part of living in this country, and we may not enjoy paying them but it is our duty. We enjoy many things in this country that we wouldn't be able to without paying taxes. We have paved roads, schools for our children, city and national parks. I for one am willing to pay taxes to enjoy these things. If the freemen and other groups like them have a problem with this country they should just try to live somewhere like China and then they can see just how great America is.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:42:24 pm » I can fully understand why the "freemen" in Montana are doing what they are. This country is in such a mess that the working man can only be angry when it comes to the federal government. The Freemen have the right idea, and I think we'll see more situations like this in the years to come. They aren't about religious cults, but rather revolting against the ridiculous ways our country is managed. My prediction is in 10-20 years, we'll have a national revolution on our hands, and no one will be able to stop it.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:52:09 pm » Concerning the standoff in Jordan, Montana, between the loony right-wingers and the authorities -- well, if the FBI and the government are so keen to avoid a Ruby Ridge-Waco-style shoot-out, then why not simply contact the Strategic Air Command and have a few B52s fly over and pound the place flat. End of problem. No risk. These people are highly dangerous, they represent a clear and present danger to society (which they reject membership of), and have no rights. Kill them. Easy. I don't know why the authorities are acting as if they're scared of a bunch of no-neck rural Nazis.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:54:15 pm » The use of skilled negotiators in barricaded positions has been the goal of the FBI and law enforcement since Attica in 1971. The FBI has had success in the gathering of intelligence, criminal investigations, and been successful in the prosecution of subversive groups. Unfortunately, the perception of the FBI in recent high profile cases (Dividians and Ruby Ridge) has been questionable uses of tactics. It appears a change in tactics has been implemented reflecting recent worse-case outcomes. With current technologies in media, state and local resolution pressures, interagency jurisdictions, and no injury arrest goals that the FBI, U.S. Marshal's, et. al. have as goals, it is surprising that anyone could resolve these barricaded fringe incidents. The concern in Montana appears to be the concern for every successful resolution of theses cases and that is to try to control escalation of an incident into a violent forceful confrontation. Once violence , or force, is used by either side the situation changes from negotiation to "best tactics" resolution to prevent more force from being used. The recent publicity that militant groups have gleaned has been their advocating, and using, violence (deadly force) to implement their will over others (i.e. local, state, and federal authorities including communities). These groups have used terror tactics on the local populace in Montana. It would appear then that the FBI will use whatever means available to peacefully resolve this incident which is the goal. Time is the most favored tool for peaceful resolution and the public should not expect anything else.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:55:00 pm » I am in Montana and know a little of what led up to this. The FBI needed to get involved because this Freeman group has shown a total disregard for local law enforcement. Local officers could do nothing with them, including traffic stops. These groups would not stop for law enforcement and would go to a fellow Freeman's house for help and the officers could do nothing without enticing a gunfight. I believe that the FBI is doing an excellent job avoiding another Ruby Ridge and Waco. In both the Ruby Ridge and Waco situations the Government may have acted instead of reacted to the situation. Right now the FBI is just playing a waiting game and if something does happen I think that the Freeman will instigate and not the FBI. If this turns into a big gunfight it will be compared to Ruby Ridge and Waco with the difference being that the FBI will react and provoke it. The standoff will last until this group gives up or they force the government to take action. I don't think that the FBI will do anything but wait. We believe this group is heavily armed and will not give up without a fight.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:55:45 pm » It's a shame that the US Government has grown in its size and level of intrusion into the lives of its citizens to the point that some wish to break away. The Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents further underscore (1) power corrupts: the Federal government is too powerful for it to effectively serve its citizens: it wants to rule them. And (2) the U.S. government will do anything it thinks it can get away with. And in reality, hasn't the government gotten away with murder in Waco and Ruby Ridge? What has happened since then? Has the Congress placed restrictions on federal authorities? What has been done to not allow the government to do the same again? I suggest that nothing of consequence has been done, and that if the U.S. government won't limit its own power, the People will.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:56:24 pm » I find the actions of the "Freemen" to be repugnant and offensive. They chose to live in a "free" and "democratic" country, however, they refuse to abide by the laws that protect them, they refuse to pay the taxes that pay for the roads they drive on, the telephone lines they communicate with, the post office they utilize. Most ignobly, they dishonor the Constitution they claim to protect and under which they claim rights and privileges. Our founding fathers did not intend that lawlessness would rule this country. And as far as I'm concerned, should they be found guilty, they deserve whatever punishment a court of law may determine. And it is that same Constitution which keeps they themselves from being hanged by the neck at a local bridge by a jury of their peers.

Federal standoff in Montana « on: March 28, 1996 at 01:58:04 pm » The freeman have a right to their opinions about our government, as does every American. They can protest legally, vote or nominate candidates of their choice to political office. They do not have the right to violate U.S. laws in their pursuits. If they break the law, they have to pay, as do we all. If they don't agree with the law, then they are free to lobby their representatives in government to have the laws they object to changed. If they are committed to their cause and believe it is just, they should be willing to wait a hundred years or more for the laws to be changed (other Americans have). The FBI is right in not trying to provoke the Freemen, but the longer these things take, the more dangerous they become. Rather than block roads and maintain a visible presence, I think the FBI and local law enforcement should leave they area and let the Freemen wonder where everybody went. The government should compensate the rightful owners of the house for their losses, holding the Freemen accountable for restitution. In a few weeks, the Freemen will begin circulating, and at that time, they should be arrested. They presence of the FBI is probably adding justification to the Freemen's cause, in their own little minds.

Let's stop letting the 6 O'clock news make our decisions for us. This is still a very touchy situation and should be treated as such, with understanding the facts and sound prudent application of the law.

A hundred years ago, when women just got the vote we'd have the same number of female posters as in 2019.

In the late 30's we'd have fash and free speech absolutists. Blue avatar Falangist Catholics and complaints that the mods had banned 'HorstWesselLives' because he'd 'merely' advocated for Jewish ethic ghettos.

In the 1950's European posters would be eye rolling at the need for a 'Coloreds Only US General Discussion Board.'

A third of posters would be John Anderson fans in 1980.

As a Republican it’s hard for me to admit this, but it’s obvious Nixon broke the law. He should be impeached. I’m honestly disappointed  in the President. This stuff is disgusting.

House Judiciary Committee approves Articles of Impeachment against Nixon « on: July 30, 1974, 11:45:02 pm » Thank god. It’s about time we got rid of this crook, sadly some Nixon hacks continue to defend him. It’s obvious to anyone that he’s guilty. I appreciate brave Republican Congressman who voted yes on the articles. Hopefully the Senate Convicts.

White House Tapes implicate Nixon in Watergate Coverup « on: August 6, 1974, 12:42:06 pm » Come on guys! Sure, the recording shows he did it, but this wasn’t that bad, Nixon was just trying to cover it up because he felt bad. This isn’t impeachable, I hope he stays! #StandwithNixon

A question for my fellow delegates about the proposed Constitution « on: July 30, 1787 at 12:51:14 pm » Good day, sirs, I hope I am not troubling you, nor exposing my own ignorance in this matter, but having examined closely the details of the Constitution which this body intends to implement, I am struck by various vagaries within the text. I fear, for one, that the apportionment of the representatives to this so-called "House" may be inadvertently politicized, as there is no proper channel whereby a state may determine the geographic confines of a district, in a way so as to prevent biased interests from encroaching upon the system and drawing these divisions as they see fit. As I am sure you can see, this issue shall strike at the core of our democracy if not adequately dealt with at this time. Furthermore, I am troubled by the second addition to this proposed "Bill of Rights." Imagine, if you will, a circumstance many years in the future, in which the technological advancement of firearms excels past the imaginations of we few delegates at this present time. Such improvements in rifling could perhaps yield weapons of war and destruction hitherto unseen on God's Earth. Allowing these devices to be procured by civilians could cause widespread fear and bloodshed, and perhaps even enrage the citizenry to forego the right to bear arms altogether. Perhaps a clause could be attached negating this right for those convicted of heinous crimes. Regardless, these are merely my humble thoughts on the matter at hand. Do with them as you shall.

Original poster, you are hereby accused of being a massive weenie.

Re: A question for my fellow delegates about the proposed Constitution « on: July 30, 1787 at 1:19:56 pm » Please, seriously my friends, I acknowledge the difficulty any man has in foreseeing the distant future, but it is imperative that we who purport ourselves to be founders of a new nation make at the very least some effort to do so. The issues we discuss here shall echo through successive generations. What of the proposed so-called "Electoral College?" It appears to me that despite ostensibly bolstering the institutions of democratic rule, it may nevertheless result in an outcome whereby the candidate who receives the greatest number of votes may nevertheless lose the election. Many elements of this Constitution, in fact, appear to me as though they may give disproportionate voice to those in rural areas, or in states which possess a smaller population than larger ones.

Re: A question for my fellow delegates about the proposed Constitution « on: July 30, 1787 at 1:20:16 pm » Charles, it is clear that you are not thinking this through. The Constitution as written provides ample opportunity whereby future generations may, if they find it necessary, amend and adapt the document to their times as they see fit. Surely if such a problem as you describe were to arise, either this process (or the Supreme Court) would be sufficient recourse for the citizenry to fix whatever unforeseen issue might vex them.

How is Orange County "much better" than Appalachia? It's one of the historically most right-wing and racist places outside of the South and is full of rich people. Let's dispel with this fiction of a dichotomy of "tolerant, socially liberal" suburbanites and "racist hicks." We should never forget that the good people of West Virginia broke away from their wealthy masters in Richmond to stay loyal to the Union.

It should be noted that this past of a Racist South vs. Slightly Less Racist North/West has been broken very rapidly in recent years. Racial disparities, racist language, and several other measures indicate a new center of gravity for American racism, beginning in NYC, out to the rest of that state, down through Appalachia.
