I worked in the court system for many years as a court officer swearing in witnesses etc, you can swear an affirmation if you aren't religious, you can swear on the bible if you are christian, you can swear on the Koran if you are muslim, you can swear on the torah if jewish etc etc.. what you cannot do ever, is ask everyone no matter what religion they are, to swear on the bible, this idiot woman is in politics F F S and doesn't know this ???

Missouri votes against banning children from carrying guns in public

Republican-led legislature rejects measure to prevent minors from carrying firearms in public without adult supervision

The Republican-led Missouri state house on Wednesday voted against banning minors from openly carrying firearms on public land without adult supervision.

The proposal to ban children from carrying guns without adult supervision in public failed by a 104-39 vote. Only one Republican voted in support.

A Democrat, Donna Baringer, said police in her district asked for the change to stop “14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St Louis carrying AR-15s”.

“Now they have been emboldened, and they are walking around with them,” Baringer said. “Until they actually brandish them, and brandish them with intent, our police officers’ hands are handcuffed.”

Seriously under what premise can anyone support the right in US politics ? you have to be trolling, a war monger, a greedy capitalist or just an absolute religious ass hat or all of the above. 

They won't be happy until it's burning libs at the stake and everyone walking around with a gun in their hands. Now where have a I seen that scenario before ?

From the outside looking in, the US seems like such a broken society.

I agree, how could any sane, empathetic person support the Republican party? But I suppose when you dumb a population down its easier to get them to work against their best wishes.

This video is old but its still interesting.

Hate to tell you, fiddles, but America has always been big on religion, freedom, capitalism, freedom, guns, war, capitalism, guns, guns and religion. From day dot. It's not a new thing.

What state just voted to allow teenagers to wander the streets with an assault rifle?

It's effed up, I agree, but it's always had such stuff going on. You should read some Mark Twain (not just Huck Finn/ Tom Sawyer) - brilliant satirist of American kookiness, and that was a long time ago now. There was some book he wrote about the gold miners that was laugh out loud stuff, especially the bits about religion and capitalism.

Just googled - Roughing It, the book was called. Written in 1872. A very funny and very disturbing read, because the narrator slowly loses it while chasing the American Dream.

Well if you don't know who Marjorie Taylor Greene is then it might not make much sense, but if you do then you will understand why I posted it. This woman approached a mass shooting survivor from parkland I believe it was, she accosted him on the street accusing him of all sorts, watch past 1.40 and you will see what she did.

Ok got into a minute of that and had to turn off. Clearly a moron. Doesn't mean she represents "The Right" by any stretch. Some of us just don't like "The Left."

We all need to grow up before the extremes of each side lead us into places nobody wants to go, IMO.

I'll always remember as a young pot-smoking leftie at about 20 y/o I had an original, groundbreaking idea - if a bird has only one wing it will just go around in circles forever, so both wings are necessary. A few years later I found out that my original thought was a well-known cliche.

I don't know if it's happened in history before but this left/right divide is only getting worse imo. I see no way back where everyone can just be friends again, not anymore no way, maybe, maybe if the internet was turned off, but that's not going to happen either.

the media is also pretty much partisan these days.

Rupert literally controls 70% of our media here.

Can’t see how the Genia goes back in the bottle.

Listened to a podcast last year with Kevin Rudd on Murdoch. He said that within a month of taking office in 2007 he got a phone call from a senior executive from the Australian explaining how it goes to ensure the govt got along with Murdoch media. 

He said that a designated government official would get a phone call every Sunday night and would receive the governments agenda and positions for the week so that Murdoch media could ''manage'' the coverage. He was told if they comply they wont have much trouble.

That interview needs a much bigger audience imo, the part about we will come for you and your loved ones like the mafia is pretty disgusting. Imagine if a left/centrist paper did this to a right wing Gov, well I'd suggest it never has happened, but can you imagine it would be front page Murdoch media everyday.

You have seen it for 5 years in America. ''Reasonable'' Republicans have been terrified of criticizing Trump lest those Fox News lunatics go after them and their families and the MAGA domestic terrorists actually go after their families.
