“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” George Mason Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia’s Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788

“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves …” Richard Henry Lee writing in Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic, Letter XVIII, May, 1788.

1) Neil Steinberg’s background check denied him from purchasing an AR-15 because of his past of alcohol problems and domestic battery against his wife. 2) Cody Davis claimed that he was able to purchase an AR-15 using an expired ID card, when in fact he never even filled out the 4473 and told the store employees that he will come back later. 3) Helen Ubinas committed a felony for straw purchase and misdemeanor for carrying a loaded firearm without a valid license in a vehicle per PA law.

I can’t believe Carson is in town, and I’m missing the protests D:

When you literally believe that you’re smarter than a brain surgeon.

^^^^^

[formeregalitarianaquagirl-blog]

When you believe there’s only one type of intelligence, when you believe because Carson is a brain surgeon, he’s smart politically

[your-uncle-dave]

He’s smarter than Sanders.

[formeregalitarianaquagirl-blog]

??? Okay, dude is still fucking idiotic.

[your-uncle-dave]

Not really.

I don’t think Ben Carson actually believes the things he says, I just think he’s trying to appeal to conservatives as much as possible.

He is a doctor of medicine. He attended med-school. There is no way he can actually doubt the theory of evolution. 

[inmyconservativeopinion]

As my biological sciences professor once said: the theory of evolution and Darwinism are two completely different things, and people often make the mistake of confusing the two. Believing that things evolve naturally within their own species has been scientifically proven to be a fact (which is not what he as saying), Darwin's theory of the evolution (of the species) that humans were originally apes and then jumped species to become human has been disproven more than once (and is what he said he didn't believe in). Creationism is a valid belief and theory in many scientific circles, and believing in it doesn't make him stupid, in my opinion it makes him very smart -- because unlike some people who take what someone tells them to be correct as absolute law without researching if the facts back it up, he did his research and came to a conclusion based on the facts.

Why I'm pro-gun

I’m pro-gun because women should be able to defend themselves from rape.

I’m pro-gun because people who aren’t strong should be able to defend themselves from armed robbers.

I’m pro-gun because you should be able to defend yourself if someone tries to kill you.

I’m pro-gun because most mass shootings occur in gun-free zones. I’m pro-gun because concealed carry causes crime rates to go down. I’m pro-gun because I’m pro-life. -CR

Class act.

[null-achtzen]

By taxing the excessively rich who benefit on the systematic oppression of the poor working class. It has come up and has been addressed.

[redbloodedamerica]

So, you think that by taxing the rich, who btw are already carrying the lion’s share of the current tax burden, you’re going to somehow come up with $18 trillion dollars in extra revenue to pay for Bernie Sander’s pet projects?  

Need I remind everyone, especially the economically inept, that there is not enough money held by all the wealthiest individuals in this country to sustain our current government, let alone the idiotic plans of Bernie Sanders.

rage-against-the-dying, you are prime example of what Lenin labeled a “useful idiot.”

[prettyprettyliberal-blog]

You’re hysterical.

 I love how you use the one WRONG article as your source, which even the fucking ECONOMIST, Gerald Friedman, who they cited has written an open letter condemning their misrepresentation of his work. In fact, that economist says that Bernie’s plan would SAVE over $5 trillion dollars over that time. In his own words:

The Journal correctly puts the additional federal spending for health care under HR 676 (a single payer health plan) at $15 trillion over ten years. It neglects to add, however, that by spending these vast sums, we would, as a country, save nearly $5 trillion over ten years.

There is ALWAYS spending. This hit-piece portrays it as if it’ll be all these trillion dollars MORE than the Republican candidates, which simply is false… and they purposely portrayed it that way because they know much of their voting base is fucking ignorant and wouldn’t know better.

[redbloodedamerica]

Attention All Bernie Sanders Drones…

That goes for all you little geniuses like ironicplanecrashes​, sosungalittleclodofclay​, politicallyincorrectbullshit, malevolantwolf, lutair​ and any other of you who copied and pasted one of the many liberal mouthpiece articles defending Bernie’s fabricated budget. (Examples: Huffington Post, USUncut, the Nation, Washington Post & Politico.)

Let’s just get this out of the way.  That Politico article offers absolutely zero information refuting the WSJ article.  None.  It is just includes quotes from Bernie saying the WSJ article “significantly exaggerated” his costs, specifically regarding “healthcare savings.”

I’d also like to share my favorite quote straight from the horses mouth in that same article:

“Second point, which they really didn’t get into, is: We are going to demand that the wealthiest people and the largest corporations in this country do start paying their fair share of taxes.”

- Sen. Bernie Sanders

“Demand.” The sheer tyrannical authoritarianism you progressives let slide when it is packaged into class warfare demagoguery is incogitable.  Then again, leftism is all about force.  In this case, forcing the wealthiest individuals to cough up even more money…even though they pay the majority of the taxes already.

Now, let’s take a look at what the WSJ outlines as far as Sanders’ budget is concerned:

$15 trillion for government monopolized healthcare

$1.2 trillion more to our bankrupt social security program

$1 trillion more to “our crumbling” infrastructure

$750 billion to expand public high school to grades 13-17, aka “free public college” (A program which funding I’ve already debunked.)

$319 billion to give a new welfare entitlement for worker paid leave on top of what they probably already have.

$29 billion to fund our bygone and nearly extinct pension system

$5.5 billion to create make-believe shovel-ready jobs for youth who can’t get a job because he just raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Also unknown costs for childcare and preschool are coming down the pipe.

The claim by the WSJ is that this program will increase the federal budget by 33% to about $68 trillion over ten years.  I’m sure Bernie has real concerns about our current budget deficits and insurmountable amount of debt but…what is that?  Oh, he never brings that up?  He has no real solution to solve our debt crisis?  Well, never mind then.

Now, the real dispute comes from Gerald Friedman, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, which the WSJ actually quoted regarding his analysis of Rep. John Conyer’s similar “medicare for all” plan.  That’s because Bernie doesn’t even have a real plan.  This is all his goodie “wishlist” type talk he’s selling ignorant liberals on.  The leftist professor’s argument is that by eliminating the private healthcare system we will magically save $5 trillion over 10 years in administrative waste, lower costs and lower inflation.  I’d simply ask from the deemed professor is where is his proof?  His analysis just throws out a number representing waste based on 2004 study comparing Canada to the US healthcare system.  He states that both private and public employers along with workers and even retirees will no longer have to pay for healthcare so it would be a net savings…but is that true? One universal rule about “free stuff” is that someone always pays.

What he’s really saying is that we will not see any direct costs associated with healthcare spending but rather the cost will be spread out to everyone collectively.  We’re all still paying but now the younger healthy folks are going to be paying more for the sickly older folks.  That’s how this game works.  The esteemed professor even goes on to say, “a single-payer plan would create dynamic gains by freeing American businesses to compete without the burden of an inefficient and wasteful health insurance system.”  Is that so?  So, we’re going to replace the hundreds of “inefficient” insurance agencies with just one gigantic inefficient insurance agency - the federal government.  That sounds foolproof.  But most importantly, we’re all going to magically become a “healthier population” thanks to shifting the cost from the individual to the collective.  That makes perfect sense professor.  Sound logic.

No, I’m afraid that Prof. Gerald Friedman’s open letter only did more harm to the universally terrible idea of single-payer healthcare rather than refute anything.  Bernie Sanders doesn’t even understand that it is the same heavy-handed government regulations and programs that have continuously increased the cost and inefficiency of our private healthcare system.  By first allowing the government to make the rules about healthcare then allowing them to also dictate exactly how they’re going to pay for it all, you’ve essentially handed over complete control of your entire healthcare process to the government; and if you do not like the service you are receiving, like at the DMV or water department, too bad.  You are stuck with one shitty company for the rest of your life.  I pity you if you ever have serious health problems.  When you’re sick and upset about the lousy level of service you are receiving but cannot get another insurance provider, thank yourself for begging for monopoly control of your well being.

That is why the free market is always there to lend a hand. If you want to reduce prices and boost patient care performance, then you need to start thinking outside the box.  There are plenty of really good ideas out there on how to improve healthcare that require only simple tweaks like allowing everyone to control their own spending through tax-free healthcare spending accounts, opening up restrictions on interstate insurance, and eliminating unnecessary mandatory services like pregnancy coverage for men.

Folks, it’s time to unbuckle your seat belts and jump off the crazy train which is the Bernie Sanders Express.  His ideas are not only over a hundred years old but they have been proven to be horrible mistakes time and time again.  Vote with your brain next year; not with what makes you feel good.

My message, to the ladies of The View, is ‘man up.’ If you want to debate me on policies—the Obama administration, for example, has been bad for women. Planned Parenthood is harvesting baby parts. If you don’t like those facts and those messages, man up and debate me on them. But don’t sink to talking about my face.

Here’s why Firoina is standing up The View

I am a fan of any woman who will tell another group of women to “man up” in the year 2015.

I think society in general needs to man-up.
