The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

I’ve heard plenty about these clubs. I was not in one but guns were no big deal when I was school age.

I had a Daisy Air Rifle when I was 12 in L.A. No big deal then. However, we have to admit its a different society today. We didn’t have drugs blowing the minds of kids and adults to do the crazy things they do today. And now lawyers are using drugs as an excuse for their clients behavior, hoping to cut a better deal.
I honestly don’t know the answer and doubt anyone does. Everybody knows its WAY too late to ban guns as it would only embolden the bad guys. Besides it’s against the 2nd Amendment and we will not give that up, no matter what. Those advocating such are either frustrated because of this or just plain stupid.

WAY too late to ban guns, but you’re wrong “everybody” doesn’t know that…Lefties still believe that’s true..as does the psychiatrist dope. “just plain stupid” is right,sadly.

The democrats will chip away at gun related stuff in blue states, but n the end unless they can overturn the 2nd in the SC, none of this is going nowhere.
The kids and parents need to be getting mad and asking why schools disarm everyone then fail to provide security, and pursuant to Mustang’s post, DEMAND to KNOW why they put psycho’s into the classrooms without providing any knowledge or warning.
Unbelievable. The longer this goes on and the stupider and more polarized the libtards get the more I think we may see a hot civil war. If they manage to get rid of Trump it could be triggered from that.

My Dad taught me to shoot when I was 11. We used to pling cans for practice and I became a very good shot in a very short time. I grew up respecting guns at home, but I don’t remember them at my school, although I knew gun clubs were common in schools in more rural areas. I wonder how much the drugs prescribed for autism and ADHD have to do with it because they weren’t around when I was a child.

Kid, I’ve thought that, too…….about getting rid of Trump, etc.
FOX had some guy on the Dana Perino show this morning who says he’s “temperamentally unfit for this office,” which might be true…but what he’s done so far is GOOD.
Hated the stupid Oprah tweet last night. WHY does he give the media and others so much ammunition????????? STAY QUIET….they’ll be BAFFLED…BUt he just can’t.
And know John Kelly’s under fire BIG TIME..”colleagues are saying” bad stuff about him..and I had SUCH high hopes that he’d be able to rein Trump in….let him DO the great stuff, even Tweet some odd stuff (the only way Trump has sometimes to really get his NEWS out) but rein him in.
Reins Priebus told someone in an interview that if you think the Trump WH is bad, multiply it times 50…ugh. Just what we need is someone who says that..

Z, Trump might not be all your fancy paint, but he is what is needed right now. He plays the democrat party like violin. he plays the media like baby mice in a room full of cats. I would ask you to understand that America is looking into the Abyss. It is game time. It is hardball. The corrupt infrastructure of America (IRS/FBI/CIA/NSA/Countless other slugs on the federal teat) want Trump gone. Trump is not going to gain any ground with a teacup on his knee and his little finger lifted, being PC and appealing to all the people who get offended by tweets.
2 choices: 1)Trump, 2)Some PC jackwagon like justin treadeu or soem worthless POS like john kasich. Take your pick. America hangs in the balance. Personally speaking, the more libtards Trump offends with his tweets the better.
This is war. Just like Andrew’s near last words proclaimed.

What kid said goes for me, too.

Kid, you and others with your opinion here at geeeZ make me never want to mention Trump here anymore because I just can’t explain it better and nobody here gets it. IHe is NOT playing the media like mice or anything else… they detest him and issue a CONSTANT barrage of crap a majority of Americans see in all the big papers, all the nasty little leftwing internet papers, etc…and that you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. He is not popular with most people and he’d go SO MUCH FARTHER if he’d just be MEAN, be TOUGH, be CORRECT and stop feeding ammunition to the crap media….
Good that he’s on the corrupt infrastructure…imagine if he just NAILED them CONSTANTLY but left the silly little “Didn’t I run a great campaigns?” OFF of his tweets…. Glad you think otherwise….but this sure doesn’t seem to be working.
This is war….Mr. Trump; be SMART…stop self congratulating, stop saying things without being sure of the FACTS, be unmercifully tough and withering to the media and stop the childish name calling and misinformation and letting them laugh at you……….
But, Kid….he sure does have his BASE! Not sure that’ll win the next election or promise us 2018 viictories…
But I am considering never mentioning him here again……I just want honest discussion and will never understand, and don’t want more explanations now, how acting like a jerk is so good for the presidency. No matter WHAT good he’s doing.

Have you noticed people ARE getting bigger paychecks and NOT ONE STATION, including FOX for all I’ve seen, has mentioned it? That’s not Trump’s fault but I hope he Tweets about some middle class people who are thrilled with their ‘crumbs’…that’d be a good move.

That’s all. Doesn’t take much, does it. I’m the one who’s constantly said “He’s better than Hillary”, as have you all. I accept that, that’s not the question.
“He won’t change”? that’s scary, considering he’s heard all this and has a staff which could help.
I don’t have the energy again here to reiterate all it would take……….and the huge rewards, if he did have someone he trusted reading his Tweets before he sent them, for example. All he needs is “Hey, Kelly, read this….am I being a jerk? I am? How would you change this and keep it powerful as I mean it?” voila
