That wouldn't surprise me if you had served in the Navy ... but you must have served with a leg unit somewhere? Not combat arms surely?
1SG isn't a Navy rank.

I was Army.

And no. It wasn't combat arms.

That said, I personally know a gay male couple in the Army of which one of them is an Infantryman.

Again, probably not dudes I'm gonna hang with and shoot the breeze, but, nothing I give a shite about while I'm worked with them.

So basically just valid concerns that don't align with your own exact concerns. Got it.

I think people who make really simplistic arguments that are narrative-driven rather than fact- based are giant assholes, fwiw.

Good Lord. You lefties all use the same tactic.

You've already devolved the thread into citing mere left right disagreements as a matter of "fear".

This thread is dead already. You killed it.

Social commentary is not “ sky screaming “. Caring about your culture and observing its traditions, principles and ideals is a virtue.

Screaming and melting and hitting and threatening is not.

Bathrooms


While that issue was blown out of proportion, no one wants full grown men in a bathroom with vulnerable women. That's insane. And there was plenty of support to normalize that.

quote:

Kaepernick


Openly supported the killing of police officers and is greatly responsible for stoking the fires and bringing attention and money to a violent and organized anarchical domestic terrorist organization.

quote:

Gay marriage. I realize that tens of millions of people have died because of it, but older conservatives were skyscreamers about this and often still are. 

The government should get out of marriage all together, but at minimum this is a state right issue.

quote:


The caravan. Where they at? 

Illegal immigrantion is a serious problem in this country.

quote:

Statues

The way this was handled was disgusting. Take new Orleans for example. We still just have rotting, mold covered pedestals sitting around the city causing a blighted eye sore. We have a civil war museum located in the heart of downtown, and yet the statues are sitting in unguarded dumps falling apart. Where was the planning? Government overreach with no planning or accountability is never a good thing. Mitchell Landrieu can rot in hell.

You already assigned yourself to it in this thread.

Nice try though.

I can't help but notice that despite me taking the time to address each specific example you've given about conservative fear, you've literally not responded to ANY of those specific points.

That ain't no accident.

I knew you'd either go the "refugee" route or try to argue on the semantics of their exact wherabouts, so much so that I had it typed out in my post and decided to delete it to make you say it.

The folks in the caravan have said from the moment the news began covering them that they were headed for the border to enter the US; their intentions are very well known. They could be 1000 miles away or on the other side of the border fence, they have declared that they plan to enter the US illegally and by any means necessary. It's all the same, and to pretend otherwise is petty and disengenuous.

You lack the capacity to defend your premise. You confuse glibness for substance and you have replaced Persuasion with snark. And every time you say something you lose just a little bit more.

If they haven’t immigrated into the United States illegally, they aren’t illegal immigrants.

Correct, but don't expect people with poor critical thinking skills to understand the difference
