I could see you as a "church book burning" kind of guy in your youth

LOL...some books are still worth the bonfire...as long as nobody is being pressured to do it. 

New Living Translation Acts 19:19
A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation and climate change theory books and burned them at a public bonfire. The value of the books was several million dollars.

Nothing you've been complaining about us attacking your free speech

But yes, you and your right wing friends on here completely flip on certain issues when you don't like the results anymore. Everything was fine when trolls were going after liberals. Now the sides are flipped and it's so horrible we need to break up Facebook. Christ...

And yes, there are liberals doing the exact same thing, flipping based on party and interest. But as much as you and others may wrongly believe, they're not on this board. The conservative version though? We have that in spades. This "break up Facebook" issue is just the latest example.

I mean... More regulation comrade!

Nyet, Nyet...Uhm... I mean no ,no ?

Actually Woody I wasn't any part of what you are talking about. My objection to censorship has nothing to do with that. In my younger days I was more of a censorship kind of guy. If there was an objectionable book in the library I would say get rid of it. I thought censoring of things objectionable on television was a good way to  go. Later I learned a better way to censorship was self censorship. I just wouldn't take out the books in the library I thought were offensive. I just would turn the channel on television if there was something I found offensive. I learned to appreciate what the ACLU always preached: the answer to speech you find offensive is not shutting down speech you don't like or agree with but more speech (that is go out and speak up yourself for what you believe). It is better to counter offensive speech than to shut it  down. That was a good principle the ACLU used to stand for.

What is even more hilarious sad actually are those on the left who used to be against censorship but now are fine with it. Liberals don't get much right but one of the few things they had gotten right were on free speech and against censorship.

Is the government censoring anyone? 

Conservatives used to fight for free market capitalism and small government yet here we are.

We should bring in the government to fix this because I am too old or too lazy to discern horse shit from fact.

Basically. It seems being too invested on politics makes you toss principles out the window. “The free market should only be free when it pertains to things I like” seems to be the overriding message of late on the Poli board.

All of a sudden you don't like the insults and now Facebook is awful and censoring everything and it needs broken up. Hilarious. I'm sure you were calling for the same when right wing internet trolls were mercilessly going after SWJs, right?

Trump slashes $16.4B of regulations, 70 percent of agencies cut

Yet he wants to replace it with more regulation on a luxury of all things.

Yeah just go the bias route. Bias doesn't validate truth, but truth is why I'm "biased".

Reagan was the best president in my lifetime but he wasn't perfect and made some mistakes. He was for instance the first president to give amnesty to illegal immigrants in exchange for securing the border and we know the border never got secured. 

Trump for the most part has governed conservatively. He had a NY liberal background and all his children were registered democrats so my concern was he might work "too well" with Pelosi and Schumer on things not good for the country. In fact he has done the opposite and has stood strong in opposing the left and taking all the slings and arrows from the lib media. . Trump has stayed faithful to us "deplorables" and has tried as hard as any president I can remember to fulfill his campaign promises. I'm surprised you don't give him more credit. Levin is right when he says Trump is the most conservative president since Reagan.

I am a hard liner on gun rights. Republicans used to be as well pre Trump.

crap. I need more upvotes.

That bar is pretty low. Any “conservative” that is pro gun control and anti free market capitalism is not very conservative.

We aren't going to fix Cal and the others. 

All we can do is figure out what caused Cal and try to correct that. 

i.think the internet empowered what was always there, from his upbringing. Case in point the other week i got an impassioned defense of british colonialism from my 14 yr old nephew. Ill give u a hint, his father (my bro in law) sends me random texts out of the blue "raging" about all kinds of things honestly but the david hogg ragers are the funniest......and also eerily familiar.

ive got my work cut out if my nephews gonna stand a chance. I mean 275 ish years ago a certain bunch of people had it up to here with colonialism.......
