Biden admits truth Finally amazing

[Into the Night]

Oh really? We came out on top of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and occupations? How about mass NSA surveillance? The drone strikes? Where was our military on 9/11? How are all those things working out for us?

From where I sit, our military hasn't defended any of our freedoms...instead, they've taken away lives, resources, and revenue.

What did you defend? Nothing. Iraq and Afghanistan were not threats to our way of life. They were barely threats in the Middle East and we've thrown how many trillions of dollars down those drains?

You might have fought not for the country, but for your brothers in arms...but really, what was the point? If the point was to merely support your brother in a fox hole, then you're avoiding conversation about why you both were in the foxhole to begin with.

Veterans are not a special class of people. Time to stop venerating them as if they are. Trillions of dollars lost, millions of lives lost, and none of it stopped a wannabe dictator from trashing our democracy.

Veterans are a special class of people. They chose to risk life and limb to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States and the people the United States. Be proud of your service, veterans! Thank you!
The United States is not a democracy and never was. It is a federated republic. There are currently no democracies anywhere in the world. They are an unstable form of government, usually converting to an oligarchy or dictatorship in a short space of time. This is what happened to Athens. It became an oligarchy.

Trump is not a dictator. He is only the President. He has done nothing outside his authorized powers as President or as a candidate.
The Democrats, including Biden, want to destroy the Constitution of the United States, the State constitutions, and implement fascism by oligarchy. Nothing less.

It is the Democrats that want to tell you what kind of car you can drive, what kind of light bulb you can buy, what kind of toilet you can install, what kind of use you can put your land to, what kind of crop you can plant, how much you must pay employees, how much you can charge for your product or service, who you have to hire based on racism, what your religion is, who you get your news from, whether you have to wear a mask or not, whether you can open your business or not, bring about riots, looting, arson, and vandalism in the streets, cheat on elections on a massive scale, run Democrat run cities into hellholes, created the KKK, divide people into little groups by race, creed, or economic status, tell you what kind of home you can build or live in, tell you how much money you're allowed to make, and on...and on...and on...

All rules for thee but not for me.

Fuck you.

You didn't provide any services back to the country. The country had to provide for you. Trillions in military spending couldn't stop 9/11. Trillions in military spending didn't protect us from cyberattacks. Trillions in spending didn't protect us from Climate Change or even this pandemic.

The threats to this country aren't big armies with tanks and planes...it's not even foreign terrorism. The threats are domestic terrorists, cyberattacks, Climate Change, and pandemics like the one we are experiencing right now. Our military was not agile enough to defend us from those threats.

So what did you really do? Coasted by on taxpayer-provided support. And you didn't make us any more safe.

Military service is NOT welfare, you stupid twit. You're an ingrate.

 

[Into the Night]

The military should absolutely be under civilian command. Otherwise, we have a military dictatorship.

My point is that the military, at least over my lifetime, hasn't protected any of my freedoms and have actively worked to take those freedoms away for the sake of "national security".

The military didn't protect us on 9/11. It didn't protect us on the OKC bombing. It didn't protect us during the anthrax attacks. It didn't protect us from the DC Sniper attacks. It didn't protect us from the cyberattacks. It didn't protect us from Russian meddling in our election. It didn't protect us from Katrina, Sandy, or any of the major natural disasters. It didn't protect us from COVID.

So every single threat to this country, in this century at least, the military failed to protect the citizenry.

So why should I celebrate that? Why should anyone? If anyone failed at their job like that, they'd be fired...with good reason.

So if what you were fighting for were your brothers and sisters in arms, then you weren't fighting to protect the country...and if you were fighting to protect the country, you failed.

Ingrate.

So you had what amounted to an office job, sitting on your ass, and were never at the slightest risk of serving in combat, getting shot at, or serving in the trenches. A peacetime assignment, courtesy of the taxpayers, which was probably less risky than the job of an ER nurse.

Yeah, my brother had an office job with the Air Force,, sitting on his ass at a desk, but he never claimed to be a warrior who every one else should thank for his service

now this is funny........and I get your envy......you and LV were too cowardly to serve....so your only option is to attempt to denigrate someone who signed a contract that could put their life on the line instead of hiding behind some stupid excuse like you've provided...........choosing instead to minimize whatever sacrifice any other enlisted man may have put out there and just because they didn't see combat, you see them as insignificant in your eyes. how shallow and self loathing you worms are because you were cowards.................pathetic

Wrong again, been over this umpteen times, no one has ever anywhere going back to the Founding Fathers said the rights listed in the Constitution are absolute, no one, even Scalia emphasized such in his opinion in the Heller case, and
since he is the authority on "orginialism," which is bullshit by the way, no one should know better what the Founding Fathers were thinking

this is how you fail as an american........you rely on others to tell you what your document of freedom means instead of reading and understanding it for yourself

There seems to be a fundamental difference of view in which STY is correct: the Constitution limits the Federal government. We, the People have unalienable rights. Near infinite rights. The only right we don't have is to harm another. Hence the need for government to resolve disputes between citizens. The alternative to courts is feuding: Hatfields and McCoys.

As such, the Federal government doesn't dictate what my rights are. The problem is that a lot of people like archives believe it's best to have an authoritarian power dictating to citizens on what to do, what to think and what to believe. "For the children". That's bullshit and I completely disagree with giving any fucking government, even my own, that much power. If the government takes that power then it's in violation both of our Constitution and an oath many on this forum have sworn to uphold.

Next time you bluster and crow about your heroic military service, and demand liberal posters thank you for it, I am going to remember you were a taxpayer funded Air Force desk jockey who was never at the slightest risk of seeing combat or serving in the trenches.

My brother was an Air Force captain who served by sitting at a desk, and he had the dignity to never claim his service was heroic, nor did he demand people thank him for his valorous service.

If ar 15s didn’t exist you would insert the next best mass death machine That gun manufacturers have marketed like consumer sporting goods as your freedom symbol.
