When the left openly states their intention is to dismantle the Constitution and pack the Supreme Court, then I believe them. Their intentions are revolution. They are stated enemies of the United States of America. They should be dealt with as enemies.

Read through their party's platform. They want to do away with all of our foundational institutions and replace them with their own form of government. These are adversaries. They should be tried in a military tribunal and imprisoned or executed.

Are you trying to say that Hitler and the Nazis weren't socialists?

This is a microcosm of why I long for the days of real critical thinkers. Today's algorithms on mass media app's (you know the ones) have done their job in programming the youth, as well as the uninformed and uneducated adults. This gross ignorance is prevalent in all facets of society today.

Funny thing about liberty.


Liberty doesn't mean having the freedom to rape a hot looking female because you are turned on. Liberty doesn't mean stealing because you want something that you can't pay for. These are you say are crimes. What the DSA is actually saying is that they want to dismantle our government, eliminate the police, ICE, empty the prisons, eliminate the Senate, and possibly the Presidency. These are not made up words, or hyperbole, This is what they (DSA) leaders have said their goals are. Those goals are against the basic founding principles and structure of the government. Those goals are also known as sedition or treason, which are crimes.

I liked Rowe when he hosted Dirty Jobs. I respect him even more now. His communication skills are awesome.

Not that I believe he’ll get through to anybody in that exchange.

There are no rights to be tolerated, much as the left states regularly towards others.


You just made my point for me bubba.

Tyrants always have a reason why these particular people are dangerous enough that ordinary rights no longer apply. A free country draws the line somewhere simpler. If you commit a crime, you will answer for it. If you hold an opinion I despise, you’re still a free American. Liberty gets mighty cheap when we only extend it to folks we approve of.

Well, there it is.

You’re talking about executing Americans, not for crimes they committed, but for political beliefs you’ve decided to make them enemies. A Constitution that only protects the people you approve of isn’t much of a Constitution, bubba.

And you don’t save liberty by killing it first.

So did tUSSR. So did the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. So did every single socialist or communist government.

You’re still missing the fence line, bubba.

Rape is a crime. Theft is a crime. Prosecute them.

Advocating to change the government, even if it’s in ways you and I might find foolish or dangerous, is an idea. Not an action.

In America, we punish folks for crimes they commit. We don’t put them in cages for ideas. Ideas aren’t actions.

That’s what liberty is baw.
