Ownership & Property

Communism destroyed by Larken Rose. Also reveals cummunistic tendencies in surprising places for anyone who's paying attention.

I didn't vote for Trump, not my president. The majority who (electorally) voted for him own the Venezuela intervention, the Omnibus Deficit & the Bump Stock Ban.

Collectivism fail. I might be turning into an anarchist.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RonZeplin again.

All of those are horrendous. That Omnibus, the worse in the entire history of this country, was just pathetic. There was absolutely NO excuse for that.

He may not be your president, but he is in point of fact the president.

Wild non sequitur. Not only is it logically fallacious, it is wholly untrue, especially in the cases of those who voted for him on the expectation that he would not intervene in the affairs of foreign lands.

Perhaps, but your reasoning here isn't quite passing the smell test.

If I hire you to build me a garage and you go out at night, murdering children, I am not responsible for those acts. If the expectation underpinning my vote is that you are going to act in good and competent faith to the Constitution, it is no fault of mine if the result is something less than this.

You don't like Trump. That is your right. I'm not 100% on board with him either - far from it, in fact - but to say that the blood of Venezuela is on my hands if perchance it turns out that I voted for him is absurd on its face. This is guilt by false association. By this reasoning, when you come to my house and attempt to kill my wife, not only am I entitled to kill you in defense of my wife's life, I am also entitled to kill your wife as an accessory before the fact, as well as your parents, employers, and anyone else who has rendered you support. It makes no sense whatsoever.
