True, taking arms against a government that one thinks has become tyrannical has been historically a nutter-\*rightie \*action (i.e. Bundy), so naturally \*\*Clothy \*\*doesn’t want to discuss it. ---

I’ve missed a few, but I really do try to take aim at the group, not paint the group with a wide brush based on the actions of an individual or two. Unless, of course, it’s an influential few people like a school board. But, a while back, an incident you touted as the threadwinner was some random Irish writer who had written and self-published a novel in which Trump was assassinated or something. A novel which she was giving away, presumably because no one wanted to buy it. You were quite worked up about it, IIRC. So, I question your consistency in not painting liberals with a broad brush based on one or two assholes. ---

This thread is the most misleadingly named thread of 'em all. Lucky to find a stupid liberal idea on any single page of this thread, no matter how many posts per page is showing. ---

The other involved men who drove their vehicle into a crowd _and then proceeded to stab people_. Clearly, all car-on-pedestrian crashes should immediately be dubbed terrorism from now on. Well the guy did swerve to try to hit people and apparently yelled “I’m going to kill all Muslims”, so I don’t think its your typical car on pedestrian altercation. ---
