There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I support the 2nd. Heck I even personally go beyond the current laws about semi-auto and think you should be able to own full auto and any capacity mag if that is your desire.
If it's a 2nd protest it's one thing, but if it's a protest against the lockdown, you don't win over the liberals by freaking them out with dudes with in tactical gear with an AR15 slug on their back. You just make clickbait stories about "armed right wing racists" for the MSM.
I think he's saying "Why give the media ammo to smear you?" In a lot of ways, protestors walk right into the trap that the media wants, where the protests can be characterized however the media decides and broadcast far and wide based on a few select pictures. Going into the state house with nazi signs and guns isn't going to change much unless they're intended to be used. Clearly, the mere ownership of guns in the country hasn't stopped the slow grind into tyranny. Maybe slowed it down some but obviously hasn't stopped or reversed it.
Having said that, I'm somewhat a purist but so far I'm willing to cut Amash some breaks on his rhetoric since his track record is otherwise fabulous. He's so far campaigning like he's actually trying to win a national election instead of harping on wonky policy points that most voters don't care about nor even really understand. We KNOW how dumbed down the average voter is and it's folly to think they'll suddenly decide to become scholars. I'm ok at this point with a libertarian with a solid track record running a populist campaign since only populist campaigns actually win. Slogging through another election season just to win the usual 1-2%? No thanks.
Or maybe he's trying to win by running a populist campaign that offers appeal to all sections of voters? No one is going to win a national election by advocating storming state houses with rifles and Hitler pictures. They're just not.
It is highly unlikely, sure, but I hope you don't seriously think that the independent/unaffiliated voters that decide elections (assuming free and fair elections, big assumption I know) are in favor of running into state houses with rifles and Hitler pictures, do you? There's personal preferences and then there's electoral realities. I'm reminded of Clinton's statement about having "private positions and public positions"...
Plus, he's already getting more media coverage than pretty much every LP candidate ever and it's not because he's saying everyone should go all 3%er on their state houses.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
Depends on what you are wanting to accomplish. Weren't you the one that said Amash wasn't going to get any coverage of his presidential campaign? Maybe that was someone else. Anyway, Amash is getting press. And he's clearly trying to appeal to people who aren't Trump supporters. Which means it's highly possible that he'll end up being more of a Biden spoiler than a Trump spoiler.

Rand Paul set the bar pretty low by supporting 48 hour red flag laws.

He compared the people carrying Nazi symbols to Nazis. The point made about those carrying guns into the legislature was that it might be seen as attempting to intimidate the legislators. Frankly I'm surprised Michigan even allows that. I'm pretty sure Tennessee doesn't. I know you can't carry going into a courthouse. Michigan is freer than I thought. I wonder how they ended up with their current governor?Effectively comparing any protester carrying as being a Nazi. Exactly the narrative the news media and the far left want to represent which he continues to carry water for. This is indefensible.

I don't see where that comparison is made except by posters to this thread and those looking to continue their ongoing LP smear campaign on RPF like Swordy. Amash's quote doesn't say that and could only be inferred by the use of "and" in his quote. Some of y'all are acting like he said "people carrying nazi symbols with guns", instead of his actual quote which I posted at the beginning of the thread.

WTF?I think it's a terrible idea to come in with weapons, as it might be perceived as intimidation of legislators.
Do legislators have any qualms about intimidating us?...When government fears the people, there is liberty.

And, "we should work with the governor" - who is an out of control tyrant.
$#@! him.
There is no point to a right if one isn't free to exercise that right. He has no problem with armed govt goons intimidating the citizens at the capital, only with armed citizens intimidating legislators. What was that that Thomas Jefferson about govt fearing the people?
I really loathe this $#@!.
My two daughters and I were gang-raped by some of the Newcomers. It landed us in the hospital for 3 weeks as several bones were broken. I don't blame them, it was a sexual emergency and I wasn't about to go all white privilege and deny them the release they needed, especially after being stuck in a hotel for months. I see the Newcomers as family now. They are on our side and will help us stop Trump. It is a small price to pay. Anything but Trump.

At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

Odd are good the person holding the Jew rat sign is a Democrap. Of course, the other sign being held is calling the governor a Nazi which is pretty damn close, though I'd go with Marxist.

What's your point? The governor of Michigan took it upon herself to wage war against the people of the state by, essentially, outlawing the Bill of Rights. Businesses are still closed down here. Nobody can go to a dentist or a doctor. Nobody can get addiction treatment or therapy. It's a communist coup and that $#@! Amash thinks we should "work with the governor" who is a $#@!ing tyrant. The state capital belongs to the people, not the employees who work there.

Quite possible.. although R & D might not be very telling in some cases; also based on track record, it could be argued that Trump is more of a Democrat/Liberal than Hillary Clinton on various issues.
But to follow up on the fake hate aspect, do you think Trump officials are also responding to 'fake hate' or their global campaign against hate is genuine?

He's my congressman and I smelled a rat with him a long time ago with his pandering to progressives at town halls. That he would say we should "work with" the governor is unbelievable. She's a raging commie who, while shutting down all health care in our state said that abortions had to continue because they're "life sustaining". She rules by executive order. The woman needs to be in prison and he wants to work with her.
