"My name is Brumar and I represent the liberal left." HUH? I knew that you were a rat, but not a backstabbing traitor. Yes, you do represent the worst of the worst along with zzBru, with your anti-American ideas and uncontrolled irrational hatred of all things good and kind (such as President Trump, the finest and most honest and generous president in 200 + years). BTW, having 2 ID's is not allowed so watch out for the thread snitch (who is reading everything here and pretending not to be here right now)

How much time will you need to protest and march comrade hypocrite? California deputy and father of two killed in ambush, 2 other officers injured BizPac Review, by Tom Tillison Original Article In the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter movement first exploding on the scene, following the death of Michael Brown, who was killed when a Ferguson, Mo., police officer was forced to defend his life, America saw a rash of cops being ambushed — none more chilling than the cold-blooded assassination of Deputy Darren Goforth in Houston, who was shot in the back of the head while getting gas. On Saturday, a deputy lost his life in California after being ambushed, with two other officers being injured, though the incident doesn’t appear to be related to the protests over the death of George Floyd.

Sure. I'll take it, but then you must take my litmus test. 1) Are you pro-abortion? In general, no, but in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother, yes. Ultimately, I do not believe this should be state funded. Remember, I'm a Catholic. 2) Do you want gun control? I have a nuanced answer for this too. Yes, I want gun control. I don't think the average citizen needs a fully automatic machine gun or anything close. So no bumpstocks or things more commonly found in the military. In addition, I want strong background checks and a central database that tracks this stuff for law enforcement. I don't think any person who has a violent felony on their records should ever be allowed to have a gun again. However, I'm a strong believer in the 2nd amendment. People with no record and with no mental disability should be allowed to buy as many as they want and engage in open or concealed carry. We have now seen with COVID and with the BLM riots that normal, law abiding citizens can not count on 911 or the police when the shit hits the fan. We can only count on ourselves to defend our families, homes, and businesses. So I am now more a believer in 2nd Amendment rights than I have ever been in my entire life. I've never felt like a needed to own a gun, until I saw the BLM rioters looting, stealing, killing people, and destroying our communities. 3) Is global warming real? yes, it is. And more than that, people's activities are the cause of it. And I'll double down. We are polluting our rivers and oceans and land with toxic chemicals, plastic waste, and denuding our land of forests. We have to recognize that we only have one planet and we should be good stewards of that planet. It's the most beautiful gift that God gave us. It disgusts me that we allow people to routinely engage in its destruction. 4) Do you want socialized medicine? No, because socialized medicine almost always results in the worst possible care for the vast majority of people. I want a decentralized, level playing field, and free market for medical care of all kinds, so that all the innovation and genius of American companies can be brought to bear to bring high quality care to the most people possible. That is going to require vast deregulation, decentralization, and transparency in pricing, as well as Federal laws that guarantee transport of health insurance across state lines and a uniformity of laws and rules across local, state, and federal. Lastly, we need to ban health care and medical companies from lobbying Congress or otherwise engaging in bribery of our elected officials.

OK. Wharf Rat, I answered your questions, now let me give you my test: 1) Do you believe BLM is an organization that is capable of delivering racial harmony and equality for blacks and whites both? 2) If BLM person asked you to kneel and apologize for being white, would you do that while they filmed you doing that? 3) Do you believe that Socialism or Communism is superior to Capitalism? 4) Do you believe we should pay reparations to black people? 5) Do you believe in Universal Basic Income? 6) Do you believe defunding the police will bring more security and safety for people of all colors?
