The day you start talking about imprisoning folks for their political beliefs instead of their crimes, you’ve wandered off the trail you claim to be defending

Not one single time, in the post you are responding to here, did the poster say anything about imprisoning anyone.

What other imaginary things have you seen in the recent past? Have you sought help for this condition?

Politician? I don't think he has any desire to. Working for an administration in the US Dept of Labor ? Absolutely. It's odd how saying "You can still make a good living doing trade work" became a political statement. You get paid on the job training from day one, you finish with gainful employment and no student loan debt. And you are doing something meaningful. You are building and fixing things that people need. Not theorizing all day about the perceived ills of society and how your philosophy will remedy them.

No. They decided to make me an enemy when they declared war on the Constitution. I would gladly end every one of them in defense of our sovereignty.

And you missed my point about how the left doesn’t want this free society. They want one that fits their narratives only, has threatened loss of constitutional rights, losses of health care, as well as reeducation, stacking the courts, destruction of form of government and much more. This is what you support

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.

you're really up on your high horse today with some pretty lofty ideals. i dont disagree with you conceptually, but if you're going to preach at people like this, you have to come with solutions.

what is your solution to dealing with the scourge of far left politics and activists that do not respect the Constitution nor care to operate within its limits? they advocate pure revolution. what is your proposal for how to deal with that while still adhering to your liberty ideals?

You just said you’d gladly kill Americans over political beliefs. The Constitution doesn’t need that kind of defending, Ricardo.

If a man commits a crime, charge him and prove it in court. If he holds an idea you despise, then beat the idea with a better one. Once political disagreement becomes a reason for bloodshed, liberty has already left the room and you ain’t living as an American anymore baw.

My solution is the same for the far left as it is for the far right.

You break the law, you answer for it.

Plan violence, threaten people, burn buildings, attack cops, storm government property, then charge the crime and prove the case in court. But bad ideas are still just ideas. You beat those in public, at the voting booth, and in the daylight. The Constitution matters the most when somebody scares you enough to want around it.

Really? Then name one, Rip.

Show me where I’ve argued that Americans should be imprisoned or killed for their political beliefs. Shouldn’t take too much digging if I’ve been that inconsistent.

Unless democratic socialists are running things.

The fact that we even have to waste time arguing against one of the most destructive political systems devised that always ends up with misery and tyranny is ridiculous. It’s been proven again and again.

All the Democratic piece does is confirm that the people vote 99% for El General in every election or end up missing.

This movement is just a tool used on idiots to garner power. It never works and they know it won’t work. At least the evil ones do. They want a revolution and to collapse the US.

Free government shite + unlimited immigration….do the math.

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

We actually do. Conspiracy to commit a crime is still a crime, even though no action was committed

The Democrat party should be called the free shite party because that’s all those voters want.
