OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Yes, I agree with your statement if you’re saying that I do not owe any consideration to anyone for anything that happened 200 years ago.

You don’t owe anyone anything. But if you want to choose to not be empathetic about the history of how America has treated black people, then you’re just an asshole.

Sure there are lessons from the past, but how does that affect a relationship among 2 humans today? ...and GFY.

Maybe you should reread this thread. Black folks still suffer disadvantages. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending otherwise doesn’t change the facts.
 
You are so starved for attention that you answer for other people. I feel sorry for you that you've been kicked-off so many other forums that THIS is all you have left. Hey... there's another example of you're unaware of your own self.

I've been perma-banned off of one forum and I was actually trying to get banned. It isn't like I'm some Billy the Kid of the Rivals networks. Besides, when you aren't a woke sissy, sometimes you'll speak some truth that will piss people off. I've found that the best way to piss people off isn't to troll them. All you have to do is tell them the truth.
 
Well I don’t know about you, but when I do something embarrassing, I like to talk about it over and over. I like other people to acknowledge it too. That’s clearly the best way to handle it. Because when you focus and harp on it, it turns all your bad feelings into good feelings.

I'm with you on that - but I think embarrassing is a bad word to use to describe America's treatment of black people from 1776-like 1975 and a REALLY bad word for the Nazi's killing 6 million Jews.

Ashamed, mortified, etc. etc. are better. Not sure we can turn bad feelings about those two things into good feelings.
 
Sure we can. If we talk it to death, it's going to make everything better. Why else would we as a society be so focused on it?

I know you're being tongue in cheek, but what's the alternative? To forget about it? Pretend that it didn't happen? Not sure how much support you're going to get from blacks and Jews on that one.

I think most people want action...they just disagree about what action, don't have the right steps in place to get action, and are just generally shitty about getting action done.

I lived on Wall St during Occupy Wall Street. They all knew what was bad but none of them had a single focused plan on how to change it. Then it devolved into a bunch of unemployed hippies smoking weed all god damn day but that's another issue all together.

Did you ever see that video of Peter Schiff going down there to interview the people at Occupy Wall Street? It was pretty funny stuff. Your comment about them not knowing how to change what's going on reminded me of that video, because most of the people he talked to had no idea what was even going on. It was just a "corporations bad" kind of vibe.
 
"The liberal left continues to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there's a solution. Find out more>>"

LMAO. Good things there's no shortage of idiots out there or hard hitting publications like "the daily signal" might go out of business.
 
Random change of subject. Has anyone ever seen the daily scripture guy in any other thread?

Dude is focused.

I respect it and partially envy it. My hyper ass is always doing 35 things at once and rarely focus on one thing at a time.

For someone who claims to be moderate, you sure do read all heavily leaning right news sites. This was just your last 3 links, I'm sure it's much of the same across this thread.

Why not quote sources from more non-biased places? The real moderates on OOTB will give it more attention I'm sure.
They are only considered hard right because they are reporting on the news that the fake liberal media doesn't cover. It's great that we have such great sites like the daily wire to show the truth to America!
 
I respect and admire that guy 10 times more than anyone else here. He should be the Mayor of OOTB. But we keep electing the ones that are promising free hookers and blow. This board is a microcosm of our society.
Hey, I drained the swamp. @TarHeelNation11, @toophly1124, and @Louigi don't even poast here anymore.

You know that it was reported by other sites too, right? Of course you don't. You just wanted to feel all high and mighty to placate your enormous ego, and to deflect from the SJW nonsense that's going on in this country. Supposedly the "right" is the violent side, but the "left" is the side who keeps getting hit with legal judgements.

I read whoever reports the news. I frequent The Intercept quite a bit because I respect Glenn Greenwald. That's hardly a "heavily leaning right news site".

That's fine and my post wasn't meant to be an attack at all. Just saying I'm more likely to read something you post if I know it's not from some site with an alexa rank in the millions and skewed heavily in one way or another.

That Trump piece was on every news site out there so I'm not saying it's fake news, just saying it helps to choose an unbiased link cuz I think most of us want unbiased news.

Oh, I agree that you have to take what some of these sites say with a grain of salt, but that's all of them, the NYT and WaPost included. I generally don't pay attention to fact check sites, because they're often a source of the problem as well. I always look for some kind of quotes, or videos of the actual story are often available now with the actual dialog. If someone just posts something without any kind of citation I'm always cautious about that story.

Pittsburgh resident, Syrian man arrested on terrorism charges after planning attack on Christian church

https://www.wtae.com/article/pittsb...-planning-attack-on-christian-church/28108243

This is why you don't just let everyone into the country.

This shit pisses me off beyond belief. Our tax dollars helped bring this low life from Syria, which is the only place that can make Pittsburgh look like heaven, and this is our reward.

Turn away refugees and if they want someone to blame give them Mustafa's phone number.
 
You forgot about Jersey.

Iran Revolutionary Guard shoots down US drone amid tensions

https://www.apnews.com/e4316eb989d5499c9828350de8524963

This is not ideal. We've gone to war in the past over less.
I read that earlier. Not sure why Iran is getting so bold lately. I guess they want us to attack to give them justification to start making nukes. I'm not worried about a war at this point though. If they start going after our people, then it becomes a real possibility.

I'd bet that the drone was in fact in their airspace and they felt justified in shooting it down without the ramifications being war.

My concern is wars win elections. Convenient time for Trump right now to have Iran start shooting down drones.

It's possible it was in their airspace, but I don't see what our motivation would be to do that. Wars don't always win elections. Bush almost lost because of a war. If you want to win an election, make sure everyone has money in the bank. People tend to vote with their wallet.
