Liberal Gun Club

[T.O.M.]

I found this article while I was eating lunch...

Being the kind of person I am, I used Google-fu and found this...

I started poking around their forum, and frankly found it to be very interesting.  Take APS, maintain the firearms position but flip most everything else, and that's what you find.  But, at the same time, it was interesting to see people who are liberal, and proud of it, posting on forums about supporting Constitutional carry, attacking their own party for being the anti-gun party, etc.  I really found it interesting to see that many of the posters feel the same way about the Dems as we do about the Reps.  Everyone seems to be hating the politicians...

Huh, I should join up over there. On occasion, I don't like being assumed to be the spawn of Satan for my party affiliation and personal beliefs.   






(99% kidding, I swear!)

Do Satan and Chtulu have joint custody, or how does that work?

No, we think you're spawn of Satan due to the genetic material a fellow APSer snatched a while back.  The lab results came back and it has been the talk of the APS private message system for weeks.

So, you come by it honestly.

Every  liberal  communist position I have come across is, in the end, based on taking what I have worked my ass off for, and giving it to someone else.  In short, theft. I cannot trust people who advocate stealing. End of story.

That does look interesting.  I will have to sign up so that I am apprised of a wider variety of information.

Accurized that for you.

PS: Thanks to Balog for pointing out my error.

[Balog]

Really? I get that you're going for the false equivalence thing, but there are a number of political positions that (agree with them or not) have no bearing on redistribution of wealth.

^^^ It was a typo.    I corrected it to read my original intent: politician.

[tokugawa]

- basically I am so sick of working my ass off and having my income stolen in order to pay for some other a -holes retirement, sick days, holidays, and assorted other "benefits".  And they keep devaluing the currency and ladling on more taxes and regulations- the intent of course is to reduce any taxpayer to the status of a serf.

That's why I looked, and then posted.   I don't believe one can ever have too much information.

Ahhh, that makes more sense.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I have just done the first round of paperwork for the taxes.  This last year my wife and I had withheld:

$ 32,422 in income taxes
$ 10,870 in Social Security
$ 2659 in Medicare

totalling approximately $ 45,491.  The tax software thinks we will get around $ 700 back as a refund.

Just think of all the poor black children that you are keeping in Skittles and tea

And old white guys in abortions and birth control pills!

  Old, Catholic priests.

Know your enemy.

I would imagine that it would be easier to pretend to be a liberal, than a liberal pretending to be a conservative.  Although, we have many in Washington that are real good at pretending to be conservative while at home with the constituency.

 no, actually- It gives me no pleasure at all to see my friends being screwed by the gov.

 I m not an educated man, just a guy clinging to the lower edge of the middle class by being frugal and hard work,with the support of my wife- for many years I thought the government was sort of a large, oafish creature that was mostly just a static obstacle- As long as it did not step on me by accident I could maneuver around it and make a living, gradually improving my lot year to year. Now it seems like the bastards are out to get me. The Obamacare fiasco was the last straw-

Sometimes there isn't a lot of difference between overall positions of liberals and conservatives on issues.  It is usually the means to achieve the end that defines the difference.  If you are careful about how you state your beliefs, you can sounds like whatever you want.  Just pick and choose your issues to match your audience. 

That and show sterotypical pictures of yourself.  I heard radio guys laughing about one political commercial this morning.  They had one shot with a cowboy hat and horse, one with a hard hat on a drilling rig, and the loan shot of a man and his dog (no leash of course).  It wasn't even John 'Wayne' Cornyn, but some other guy.  Texas Primary voting is in a week or so.  Every candidate is running as a hard nosed tea party conservative.  Talk radio is full of commercials either dumping on the opponent or pumping the candidate.

I essentially stopped doing a lot of sidework because I was being honest/ethical and reporting it on my taxes. With social security and whatnot, it's about half. If I can't charge at least $40/hr, it's not really worth doing unless it's for non-monetary purposes. I'd have to charge $40 to make $20. Under $20/hr, my valuation of free time kinda starts winning out.

So, you come by it honestly.

Oh. That would actually explain why my 25th birthday was on 06/06/06.
