I'm tired of the left parading that scrawny, annoying little jerk around...and ignoring the boy whose sister was killed. Talk about having an agenda...
The right is parading the boy whose sister was killed around - why isn't the RIGHT parading around the other kids?

Talk about having an agenda.

That act is either pretty bad or you should get off mommy's computer!

When should they have had that little chat? While he pointed a gun at their heads?

Then address the question, when should they have asked him why he was killing students? My response was not obtuse, it directly addressed the comment that was made. You seem to prefer to dodge it by making personal attacks.

People in a well regulated militia, would be returning fire. Cowards would be in the fetal position waiting for their execution.

I have no idea, they may be US Students studying at Universities in London and the UK.

The UK has around 200,000 Americans living here, the majority of whom live in London.

As far as Iam concerned the US is more than capable of deciding it's own laws on guns, and I have evety respect for the US and it's constitution.

So we are going to put well regulated militias in every classroom? That might work but I'm not sure where you will find the well regulated militia

That's all they've got. That poster knows the post we were responding to was stupid, he's just trying to save face for his fellow cons. It's so cute how they herd together to protect each other.

If I'm a republican politician, particularly one that is firm on the 2nd amendment, I am shaking in my boots after what I saw yesterday.

Millions and millions of Generation Z Americans are mobilizing and organizing. They aren't just talking, they aren't just posting on Facebook, they're actually going to vote. And it seems that an overwhelming percentage of Generation Z will be voting democrat over the next decade.

This "blue wave" in November that everyone is talking about and that many conservatives pretend not to be worried about is very real. And it is being led by the millions and millions of teenagers across the country that will be voting in November and the rest who will be eligible to vote come 2020.

And at the same time as you have these young people showing up to vote blue over the next 5-10 years, you also have the largest demographic of the far right, old white men baby boomers, who will begin to die off.

The Left will end up making a mess as always (they constantly do in the UK), and people will march against the Government whatever it's political persuasion, as that's just the nature of politics.

If you want to be popular in politics be part of the opposition party rather than the one Governing, as it's very easy to criticise when your not actually in power.

This applies to most democratic countries, and over the years you hear the media stating that the left is dead or the right is dead, but people are fickle and the one thing that no generation likes is taxes, and I am sure Generation Z won't like them in the future.

Most people really want centre ground sensible politics, however the current generation seem to have abandoned that, however they may change their minds, as the saying goes you should be careful what you wish for.
