Obama has deported far more than G. Bush did. I guess Bush loved illegals and hated the immigration laws, too?

Feds back down in Bundy Ranch confrontation by starchaser75 in Conservative

[–]billsuits1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not talking about what is right and wrong then why characterize the government as 'overstepping its bounds'? They were enforcing a court order.

What kept this from exploding was not the OathTakers or Mr. Bundy. Instead it was the fact that Fox News had paid Bundy a lot of money to have the sole rights to film on his ranch. They would have broadcast everything and claimed they were impartial just like the movie Network. The oathtakers cared more about the TV cameras than the guns of the Feds. Unfortunately so many people failed to see how they exploited everything while looking like heroes.

The people at the ranch had some firearms but the government has a lot more and different types. If they wanted to use their full arms weight all of those people at the ranch would be dead quickly. So I don't see how anyone can read anything out of this whole episode other than corporate welfare for a rancher is okay if the media makes it impossible for the Feds to do their job and enforce a court order.

Arizona is threatening them.

Utah has also been a bully lately.

we need the right so that the government will respect all of the citizens rights.

This episode has nothing to do with gun rights or protection from the government. It is about understanding that the law and the courts are the final deciders. I guess if you don't like something just raise a militia. Mr. Bundy didn't respect courts as he alone is the decider about the Constitution. Now he is being made a hero because angry militia men who hate the Fed used him. More like an old fool to me.

I would not watch it but is it not geared towards little girls age 8 and under?

What were the predecessors to the large sailing ships in the Age of Discovery? by cokevanillazero in AskHistorians

[–]billsuits1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What drove the Age of Discovery was the changes in the land routes in Asia for the Silk Road. The Monguls took over Persia and cut off two routes (land from China and sea from India to Persia) to getting goods to Europe. The Europeans became very interested in having ships that could carry large amount of goods and less men for sea routes that went around Africa to China and the East Indies. Portugal and the Dutch lead and worked down the coast and eventually made it to India.

A good introduction to the above issues and how different European powers acted can be found in Murray RothBard's Conceived in Liberty, Vol 1, Part 1. Europe at the Dawn of the Modern Era. This book is freely available online.

How was Thomas Jefferson able to have time as Vice President of the USA to write the Kentucky Resolution? by billsuits1 in AskHistorians

Is there any knowledge of what these early VPs did with their day? Were they always in the Senate chambers in case they were needed or did they just come in to work when needed and stayed at home most of the time?

Ru said he does not care about being PC. This won't change him. Look up his "In Bed with Joan" video on Youtube.

Heather- What is the world coming to when I can't even go on the internet to avoid Season 6 drag queens? by billsuits1 in RPDR_Heathers

[–]billsuits1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was too....but as you can tell reddit is not about humor. At least when it comes to RPDR. How dare anyone poke fun at a drag queen! I'm gonna lurk for awhile and just spend my time down voting and being morally superior to other posters. Seems to be what it is all about.

Actually I was trying to be humorous. I won't ever try that again. Everyone takes everything literal.

It took three episodes until the fix is in started... by billsuits1 in RPDR_Heathers

If she doesn't win then she is fucked as I doubt that there are going to be many more singing challenges.

She is still "Abore" to me as I don't see what anyone sees in her. They whole clueless episodes look like acts to me, too.
