"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
Yep.
I don't think Trump cares if it was a real attack or not. This was an opportunity for him to set an example, so he acted fast before it could be proven or investigated. Elementary school tactics. Punch somebody out of the blue in front of everyone. Now everyone will be careful when dealing with Trump. Basic, low level human nature. Don't mess with the crazy motherfucker!
Plus it caters to the neocons and MIC establishment.
Flushing the Constitution and (domestic and international) rule of law down the toilet is a small price to pay. Kind of standard procedure in D.C. already. Only Rand Paul and his friends will complain. The rest of Congress is praising Trump. The media is praising Trump. All hail Trump Caesar!

Just a heads up to site mission supporters.
I just got a neg rep from Brian4liberty warning me not to antagonize people or name-call.
Last time that happened it was after Dannno reported me for using profanity in a private message to him and resulted soon after in a ban.
So just tread carefully. Support for the site mission is a dangerous thing around here.
Some gems coming down the poop shoot from Lindsey' conversation with President Donald:
“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
Just to clarify the rules, @Brian4Liberty, I wouldn't want anybody disciplined for name calling, so I'm not asking for that to happen. But when it's done in support of Trump and his lemmings, it is ok. Am I right?
No, the Community Guidelines apply equally. The staff will do the best we can to keep things on track - it will never be perfect of course, and can have problems at times too. We're not funded with lobbyist monies. Name calling doesn't matter, facts, logic and liberty do. Focus on that, flag problems when you see them and we'll be good.
Thanks!

BELIEVES???
Based on what, I wonder.
Regardless, since when is it our place?
"Let it not be said that we did nothing." - Dr. Ron Paul. "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone." - Sophie Magdalena Scholl
"War is the health of the State." - Randolph Bourne "Freedom is the answer. ... Now, what's the question?" - Ernie Hancock.
I agree and think they need to be reminded of what the choices were.
Trump - Despite some contradictory doubletalk he ran on not invading Syria, peace with Russia and was getting bashed as an isolationist over foreign policy statements. Ran as a nationalist, anti-globalist with a strong immigration and trade platform.
Hillary - ran as a known interventionist that wanted to shoot Russia plans out of the sky with a no-fly zone in Syria. Globalist, establishment status quo, supported TPP, need I say more.
Rand Paul - by summer of 15 his campaign was effectively over by his establishment pivot on tax, immigration and BLM. By August 15 it was pretty clear at that point he was not a serious candidate and was using the race to advance his senate campaign while clearly without shadow of a doubt was only running an educational campaign (as observed from his campaign stop speeches). A stepping stone campaign for 2020 due to a predicted Trump loss in 2016.
Daryl Castle - not a serious candidate and no effort being made to run a national campaign. More likely a campaign to advance his radio show.
Gary Johnson - supported a no fly zone in Syria while sounding totally ignorant on Syria. "What is Aleppo? Ran on open borders, pro TPP and had nutty Bill Weld on his ticket. A candidate no average voter would take seriously.
Honestly, there should be just a photo of Ivanka.

I agree with your takes on Hillary and Castle. Here's what I'd say about the others.
trump - who knows what he stands for? used to be a progressive who funded democrats, but now says he's a conservative who has most recently funded neocons. might shake things up.
Gary Johnson - no chance of winning but might make third parties more viable if he shows well. Free marketer with leftist social tendencies. Who cares who his VP is - they're not going to win.
Jill Stein - no chance of winning but might make third parties more viable if she shows well. Socialist.
Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) Statement on Syria Strikes
Rep. Walter Jones Posted on April 7, 2017
Today (4/7/17), Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC-3) released the following statement regarding the launch of U.S. airstrikes in Syria:
“Regardless of the circumstances, no American president has the constitutional right to commit acts of war against a sovereign nation without approval from Congress,” said Congressman Jones. “As clearly stated in the Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war. This is a dangerous precedent for the president to set for the new administration.”
For additional information, please contact Allison Tucker in Congressman Walter Jones’ office at Allison.Tucker@mail.house.gov.

Everyone needs to get away from the name calling that has resulted from the contentious election. Your repeated use of "Trump trannies" and other antagonism does not help us move past the election. And the name calling applies to everyone. People who would be considered pro-Trump do get warnings at times too, usually after being reported. Not everyone publicly posts about their warnings or infractions.
As far as you being banned because of a report by Dannno, that is blatantly false. And your attempt to curry favor with the forum by accusing a vocal Trump supporter of causing your ban is disingenuous at best.
Moderation is not an easy or fun task, but we do our best to apply site guidelines across the board. We are not omnipotent, do not see everything, and often have limited time to react to reports.
Everyone's help in making the forum less divisive or counter-productive is appreciated.
