Enough already of the anti-Bernie conspiracy theories from the moonbat Bernie Bros!

http://jackpineradicals.org/showthread.php?1706-Conspiracy-theories-Give-Ockham-s-Razor*-a-rest-now-and-again-will-ya

So, last night, U. S. Senator Bernie Sanders handily won an important victory over U.S. Secretary Hillary "Inevitable Since 2006" Rodham Clinton. The next big primary state is New York, where Hillary recently started campaigning against Bernie's gun record.

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2016/04/8595700/clinton-new-york-criminals-get-guns-vermont

So, naturally, the front page of this morning's Daily News covered the most important story from yesterday's national news thus:



But, have establishment politicians and establishment media actually been working against Sanders? Of course not, you Sillies! Stop whining, ffs!

And, Oh! so many, many more.

Not to mention all the stories about who might/would enter the race to save America and the world from Bernie Damn Sanders.* Will our super hero be Biden? Kerry? Bloomberg.

For the love of God, won't someone please save the world from another New Deals/Fair Deal Democrat!

Most mainstream media have long been owned by 5 to 7 mega corporations that have much larger fish to fry globally than selling papers. TPP may be an example. Corporate tax "reform" may be another.

That particular post, I think may have been accidental, though.

I've clicked on a headline in Latest Threads and posted in a group without realizing it a number of times.

just sayin'

at least she is put on notice which is more than I got in HRC on a thread that was not even about HRC and all I did was ask a question about race.

So, you see why I have little tolerance ...

I think how numbers vs. their numbers already proves whom has shown the restraint.

The owners of print media are millionaires/billionaires ... They are friends of the Clintons and the other millionaire/billionaire politicians who have feathered their beds with the ill gotten gains from struggling middle class families they've been ripping off for for decades ...

You don't know this? ...

They are circling the wagons to protect their fraudulent little world ...

And you? ... Goodbye ...

You don't sue manufacturers for legal products that work as designed. The 'shame' is that the 'right to bear arms' as part of a 'well-regulated militia' has been reinterpreted as 'let any damnfool buy a gun and keep it with them any time they want to'.

15. By the NRA, but not necessarily by the SCOTUS.....yet.
Wed Apr 6, 2016, 10:32 AM
Apr 2016

Living in Boston, Massachusetts, I am aware that the Second Amendment would have meant something here during the two years that the Redcoats occupied Boston--same for the Third Amendment. (I see some of the relevant historic sites almost daily.)

What the exact limits of the Second Amendment are, the SCOTUS has not yet told us in the same way as it has been laying out the limits of some of the other parts of the Bill of Rights, especially the First Amendment freedoms of speech, religion and the press.

For my integrity, I must post this: http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/personal-injury/strict-product-liability-laws.html

For the same reason, I note:

1. Hillary was for guns before she was against them. Put another way, when it was expedient to campaign against Obama, who made that gun and Bible comment to donors, she was for guns. Now that she's campaigning against Bernie, she's a purist. IOW, I think this is yet another example of "evolving" her political position to suit her political ambition, not so much a principled position.

2. Bernie's entire political career so far has been as a representative of Vermont, a rural state that has relative few problems with firearms and a state where people actually hunt to eat--and need to. So, he has been more for state, maybe even local, regulation of guns, rather than holding Burlington to the same standard as the five boroughs of New York City. Still, Berni had a rating of F from the NRA all along, raised in very recent years to D-. Contrast that with centrist and Hillary endorser, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, who always had an A rating from the NRA.

Except for when we're not, say, those who just joined the party just a year ago, and clearly don't understand their place.

Anyways, as responsible Democrats, our job is to get in line. Because no matter how much it seems we are acting like Republicans, it's only because these actions are necessary. Acting like Republicans does not make us Republicans, because we are Democrats. The card in our wallet is clear proof.

And tbh, I'm not entirely sure now that it actually says "Democrat" on it. So my suggestion is that, as good and faithful Democrats, we should all write DEMOCRAT on it in sharpie.
