The democrat machine is now working on combing out of the military (and vague references to "non-governmental organizations") anyone with conservative views, the wrong associates, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Children are encouraged to report their own parents to THE STATE. People are losing their jobs, their voices, and so much more. Our God-given rights are in peril, and the democrats are just giddy at the prospect of exercising the kind of oppression they have always favored.

Dems Rally To Purge 'Extremists' And Trump Voters From National Guard

Dems are now calling for the vetting of National Guard members, especially those assigned to provide security for the inauguration, for ties to "extremism."

The thread premise is a lie.

There are no ‘purges,’ no one is being ‘silenced,’ our rights are not ‘in peril.’

This is more baseless rightwing demagoguery.

Not an argument.

Which meabs you do not have and argument and the OP is correct

Just curious here...but do we want extremists of any kind in our military?

Doesnt anyone find it disturbing that one in five of those arrested in the insurrection were former or current military? Not to mention a number of those who end up joining rightwing extremist groups? Do you want Antifa members in the military?

I get the concern, you don’t want another McCarthy era (though ironically...many of those outraged here fully supported that)...but what happened at the Capital was damn serious. What if anything, should be done?

What happened at the Capitol were people pissed off with the lockdowns, the riots over the last year or more that their mayors and governors allowed to escalate, loss of jobs due to the lockdowns and riots, the do as I say don't do as I do attitude of the supposed leaders, and many more items that have built up over the last couple of decades.

If the leaders at the Capitol think it was so serious that they had to shoot down an unarmed veteran protestor after all the mollycoddling and support they gave the burn, loot, murder, crowd that decimated the cities they represent then those leaders are out of touch with reality.

If they can't lead by example then they shouldn't be in office.

If what happened at the Capitol was an insurrection then all the riots during the last year or more and any happening now and in the future are to be considered insurrections. They should be meet with the same force as shown the unarmed veteran protestor at the Capitol. Additionally all those known rioters from the last year or more should be rounded up and tried for insurrection.

I do not approve of what happened at the Capitol however I understand why it happened.

*****SMILE*****

......There are no commies, dope. ......

It's telling how desperate you are to insist upon that obvious lie.

Not nearly half as desperate as you are trying to make it stick.

It seems half assed insurrections and attempts to degrade the left is the best and only play you dopes can muster. The irony of course, is it only works on yourselves and those in the RW bubble.

You guys shit the bed. Bigly.
Turns out your bellicose rhetoric really is dangerous and folks have had it. You should try not being at odds with anything and everything. Especially reality. You’re in a time-out for a while.

Actually it's a direct reaction to you commies, and there will be no time outs. If you keep pushing, you ain't seen nothing yet.

More like a direct reaction to what your media and Trump have told you about us “commies”. You’ve proven to be irresponsible and reckless with your rhetoric.

Try not being in constant tension with reality all the time.

Well commie, biden keeps proving his communist ways. It's all about equity of outcome now, not equality of opportunity. What did the Russian commies say, "to each according to their need, from each according to their ability". And now you're pushing conformity, and not only the silencing of your opposition, but the total destruction of your opposition. So you keep pretending your side aren't commies, the facts are you've been moving in that direction for more than 50 years. Wake the fuck up man.

There are no commies, dope. Just another delusion from your rat infested world view. Your
RW rhetoric has proven it’s malign influence once again.
Y’all shit the bed. Bigly. Enjoy the blowback while the rest of us move on.

Have you listened to susan rice or checked out quid pro joes EOs? They are pushing a pure communistic agenda. Deal with it.
