Tell me why it's the reason our country is broken. You wished for our next President to be an embarrassment. You are wishing ill will upon him. That hatred is what is killing America. That is why we are broken. Folks just like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett05 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) So, "grabbing my musket" means fighting for their beliefs in a productive manner, but protesting is not productive? Just trying to understand. Why is it ok for one group to not give up but the other HAS to give up? I understand that it's after the election, but Mr. Walsh said he was going to "grab his musket" if Trump lost. So, even the timing is the same. Yes it means to continue to fight for liberty thru political discourse. To not just sit idly by while the liberals destroy this nation. Protest is fine. Violence and ignorance is not.

You are wishing ill will upon him. That hatred is what is killing America. That is why we are broken. Folks just like you. No, I didn't. I already know that Donald Trump will be an embarrassment. He is right now. I hope that it will be limited to him personally, and not damage our country. I sincerely hope he is able to do things that grow the economy, fight crime, and keep America safe. I do not want anyone's lives to be made worse simply so it can be used as ammunition against him in 2020. Maybe political discourse would be better off if people took some time to understand their political opponent's statements and positions, rather than misrepresent and demean them.

pettie4sox Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 brett05 Joe Walsh meant violence with his tweet. The fact that you think otherwise shows you are blinded by your partisan bias. If god forbid, Bernie Sanders said that same s***, it would have meant violence. There is no way to spin that tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Delegates to the Constitutional Convention that concocted the Electoral College rejected picking a president by popular vote for reasons that now seem historically remote, even quaint. Centuries before TV and social media, the bewigged delegates feared that each state’s voters (mostly white men who owned property) would know so little about the presidential candidates that they’d all back their state’s “favorite son” candidate and none of the contenders would get a majority. Plus, the delegates wanted to make sure small, less populous states didn’t feel left out. Now about 38 states feel left out every four years as the presidential candidates spend all their time and money wooing about 12 battleground states, including North Carolina. No other democracy uses this arcane system to pick its national leader. The United States shouldn’t either.
