Why do IRS employed accountants carry glocks? What is it that you think the A-10 exists for, exactly? Can you name for me a single law, however small, that isn't backed up by lethal force? So when one of the Bundy clan was killed, was that liberal bloodlust at work?

Please tell me about the domestic laws that we enforce with an A10.

I’ll go get some popcorn started while you gather the list.

I don't actually think you're too far off the mark. I've noticed a lot of Liberals don't like to be called Liberal because of its connotations. Leftists are general uncomfortable being outed as such. Socialists will pretty much flat out deny they're Socialists. And Communists roll their eyes when being identified as such, only because they're super in the closet about it. Same with Marxists. In fact, now that I think about it Democrats aren't too fond of openly identifying as such.

If I had to guess why I'd say that most left-leaning types are pretty nuanced when it comes to their ideas and political leanings, despite probably voting line Democrat. For example, I'm Consevative on governments carrying too much debt, but Liberal if the debt means building, say, a megaproject that benefits everyone and can be 'repaid' through an increase in commerce, or even quality of life. Extrapolate that out to all the issues and I think everyone is a blend of different politicl ideals.

So you got nothin’ for A10s being used in law enforcement. Or immigration matters. I figured that might be the case. ; )

Our brave men and women in uniform thank you for not continuing to suggest that they be used to enforce your odd border conflict fantasies.

Here's a solid and factual breakdown of who's behind these caravans:

https://capitalresearch.org/article/the ... -caravans/

Basically it's Leftist activism with mostly Marxist ideology.

When the author described the New York Times as the “left leaning” New York Times, my bias radar went off. I’d never heard of this organization, so I scanned a few articles and googled them. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/C ... rch_Center

I certainly wouldn’t trust such obviously slanted reporting without verification by a more neutral source.

Well, yeah. Obviously he's a Conservative blogger, but that in of itself doesn't mean the information is bad or biased. It's factual in this case. Try not to let your own biases come into play when sorting out facts. This blogger nailed it.

Again I ask, why can't liberals be honest? Seriously, what is the deal? Why can't they be honest about who they are and what they stand for? Why must they conceal who they are and what their intentions are? What's the deal with that? I'm making a very straightforward point, but you play these games.

You’re asking why liberals aren’t honest, while prattling on about how the caravan was assembled by Democrats, and how an A10 is fueled and ready to resolve the issue?

Mm-hmmmm .... : D
