A vote to raise a sales tax to finance a progressive policy. If it passes at the polls, it wasn't because anybody was forced to vote yes under gunpoint.

What about the Republicans who want people to vote to raise the sales tax to fund new civic projects? They'll tell ya it's for the common good by making the city more attractive for new business and industry--their future donors!

Here's a nice article on Ted Cruz arguing in favor of a ban on vibrators, which you won't read.

The author's take on the whole Ferguson play/narrative is spot on. I've seen many a leftist show similar disdain to the truth in that case, all while continuing to push the convenient "hands up, don't shoot" lie that supports their view that America is a racist hellhole where police are out to kill minorities.

Another LEGAL immigrant here.

I don't take anything written in an obviously questionable publication like Townhall.com seriously, because McAleer's writing, based on this piece, anyway, is high-school level.

Nothing a single policy from the progressives can be implemented without forcing people at gunpoint.

Why to Right Wing Extremists always have to use this hyperbole? Do you think this actually helps your cause? "Obama is a tyrant, national health insurance is communism", etc. It all sounds so childish and absurd.

OH please this is just right wing propaganda.

Townhall was founded by Heritage foundation to promote the right wing agenda.

Townhall is currently owned and run by Salem Communications corp, which is a right wing Radio propaganda company ...



So there you go folks, the OP's story is just another right wing bit of anti liberal BS......
This is what the right wing does, they promote lies and fake news about the left in order to define it.

Anything from "townhall" is about as worthy as reading newsmax or watching Alex Jones.

By definition, you can find anyone who will say anything.

Fact is that history clearly shows "conservatives" have been inside the bedroom and are still inside the womb (which is inside the bedroom usually)....

Conservatives don't believe in power to the people.....and they clearly say it out loud.

First of all I am not rightwing, second no one has to define liberals, they are doing a great job of it all by themselves.
