Not wanting to cede your rights to the government is no way kooky.

Perhaps, but that's really only an honest narrative if a group is being fairly portrayed.

In this era of Fox and MSNBC, it's just polarize and demonize using the most extreme members of any group.

Heck, just look at thread after thread around here from the fringe left and right. It's one of their favorite tactics.

Do not hold your breath 3-Shepherds. Such posters are not interested in debate. They spew their viral talking points and then skedaddle. Like a screeching blue jay that flies away when you glance at him.

Sure, just as soon as you anti gun zealots stop LYING about trying to ban civilian firearm ownership and explain why the current 20,000+ gun control laws aren't common sense and how passing another one will make any difference.

Just wondering if you read the actual review or just Breitbart's take on it? The review was an overcomplicated interpretation of the film involving patriarchal religious beliefs and misogyny in the Catholic Church, but your statement about the critic's review is a total oversimplification and assumption taken totally out of context.

So where is it written in the Constitution that right wing conservatives cannot produce and direct films? Why do conservatives sit around whining about liberal films, but not bother to make their own and put any slant they want on it? It cannot be about money, as conservatives have plenty of financing. So what is keeping conservatives from making films themselves?

Exactly. Shouldn't the big old guy worry more about his health (he had a child just two years ago) than the NRA.
