The authoritarian left still has found ways to restrict ownership.

No restrictions =/= least restrictions. A country can still have restrictions and still be least restrictive.

You're not naming any countries with less restrictive gun rights.

I'll never understand why Americans are so concerned with other countries' gun laws. The US has the least restrictive gun laws in the history of the planet, you can't apply the same standard to other countries whose governments have never identified gun ownership as a God-given right.

And maybe other civilized countries just won't tolerate the gun crimes we do here in the US. We pay a high price for our Second Amendment rights that other countries aren't willing to pay: the highest gun crime rate among developed nations.

Had Texas played Cupcake U in their first game they would be in the playoffs.

---

Why do people care about just "making the playoffs" when they have no chance to actually win it?

It's like LSU fans getting excited about a chance to make the NCAA tournament in basketball. Big deal, they wouldn't get above a 9 seed, so they have no realistic chance to win it.

So tOSU beats Texas in September instead of January. It amounts to the same thing.

revisionist history.

---

It seems that they refuse to learn about some of the darker aspects of our country's history, and fill in the gap of their knowledge with myths and fairy tales.

Which would all be fine, if that's what it takes for them to cope. The problem comes in when they demand that everyone else buys into their fantasies.

The Germans, Irish, and Italians had all, more or less, assimilated quickly into American culture. It seemed there really was something in the water, and anyone who could take a sip might become as American as anyone whose family helped found the country.

There is something in the water, to be sure, but it is not a secret sauce — it does not work like that.

It only exists because generations of Christian Americans from Anglo-European descent built it, maintained it, and created a highly successful, high-trust society meant to be handed down to their kinfolk.

Holy shite, what a load of garbage.

First of all, my Catholic immigrant ancestors were not considered "Christian", and my French/Acadian Catholic ancestors were FORCED by threat of violence to assimilate after being here for 150 years - that after being forced from their homes by 'Anglo-Christians' and made to chose between exile or fealty to the head of a heretical church.

Secondly, my Irish Catholic immigrant ancestors were not "Anglo", but were in fact trying to get away from the "Anglos".

Thirdly, Italian Catholic immigrants were discriminated against, and not even seen as "white" right through the 1950s and 60s.

You can take your White Anglo-Saxon Protestant fairy tale and shove it up your arse. My immigrant ancestors were most certainly not WASPs.

Neither does half the field for March Madness. There has never been a seed lower than an 8 win it all. May as well just cut the field in half and go with 32 teams, right?

The Republican Party, which was once the Party of Ronald Reagan, is being taken over by grifters and con artist.

I remember in the 70s when conservatives were calling Reagan a grifter and a con artist. His economic plan was referred to as "Voodoo economics" by his own vice president.

Turns out they were right, Reagan was no conservative.

Sorry, you're right, it's not direct PROOF of fraud, it may or may not be direct evidence of fraud.
