Only one voice allowed, with the others shut down by compliant media/big tech...already happening.
Any voices not of the left run out of town as "racist", "xenophobic", "Nazi", etc...looks so much like communist China it might as well be...and that's just the start.
With absolute political control, absolute media and social control, and the population disarmed, the leftist rule will be absolute.
Say anything against the ruling party and its administration,  your fate will not be pretty...unemployment leads to poverty....poverty leads to homeless...homeless leads to a miserable life and miserable death.

So, you're saying that if I delete this, it will prove your point?

What does it mean if I don't delete it?

(p.s. "absolute political control" is even more of a myth in this country than "absolute security" is, and that one is huge.)

Why would you even think of deleting it, there's nothing in it that breaches the forum rules.
Control of both houses of Congress is absolute political control.
Anyone with a Conservative opinion is being cancelled, you know it is true...Twitter and Facebook are reportedly cancelling accounts at express pace.
Cancel culture is in full swing...the basketball commentator was sacked from his job for saying "All lives matter" (which is inclusive).
That other site, Parler or whatever it's called, that Sydney Watson was thinking of going to if she gets kicked off YouTube, seems to have been cancelled.
Sure looks to be absolute security in America right now.

The word "nation" is not in the quotation. The word "country" is not in the quotation. The name "United States" is not in the quotation.


I have no idea what you are arguing.  You seem to have invented something.  I was discussing UNO's reaction to R Paul's comments.

"Always putting party ahead of country"

I bolded it for you

Be a dick if you want - nothing new.

In the quote, what you bolded did not have Rand Paul using the word country or nation in it.

I don't know what you are smoking or drinking, but don't drive or use heavy machinery.

I don't care what Ham said, Kid. I care what PAUL said, which you quoted here:
“A third of the Republicans will leave the party,” Paul continued. “This isn’t about, anymore, the Electoral College, this is about the future of the party, and whether you’re going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well.”-----


Rand Paul said NOTHING about the country.

That was and remains my point.

He cares about himself, first, and party second. Country comes in a distant third.

You keep claiming "he" talked about the nation, but if you meant Paul, you are wrong. And if you meant Ham, you are irrelevant.

Or more so than usual, anyway.

And I said nothing about Rand Paul.

I commented on YOU and UNO - that you were both wrong - RP is not putting party ahead of nation, as UNO said.  And you were even more far gone

Have a nice day.  Try to be a little less critical - enjoy your conversations - even with the opposing side.  You may live longer - and with a better reputation.

Control of both houses of Congress is absolute political control.
The Supreme Court begs to differ as do the state governments.
Anyone with a Conservative opinion is being cancelled, you know it is true...Twitter and Facebook are cancelling accounts at express pace.
If I don't delete you, Ward, Kid, or sometimes Luee, then "anyone with a Conservative opinion" is not being cancelled. If the federal government, through the FCC, does not revoke the licenses of Fox, Newsmax, OANN, or Sinclair, then "anyone with a Conservative opinion" has not been cancelled.
Cancel culture is in full swing...the basketball commentator was sacked from his job for saying "All lives matter" (which is inclusive).
He was sacked for being a racist, not for only saying those words. And the meaning of that phrase has been explained to you multiple times. You just refuse to accept truth.
That other site, Parler or whatever it's called, that Sydney Watson was thinking of going to if she gets kicked off YouTube, seems to have been cancelled.
Your news is behind times. The host for it decided they did not wish to be affiliated with them, as is their right. But as has been pointed out here (and elsewhere) there are thousands of web hosting companies that they could sign on with - and they have. Parler is back on line and has been for at least a day.
Sure looks to be absolute security in America right now.
Because you only see what you want to see. Nothing new there.

Excellent suggestion.

You know nothing about the US government. 

Conservative Supreme Court.   Republican dominated state legislatures.  Internal party divisions over issues.   Constitutional checks on power.   Strong corporate pressures.   Etc.   Good Lord you're dumb.

Now they're trying to cancel Australia Day, Jan 26...the day that the First Fleet raised the Union Jack on the shore of "Port Jackson" ( later renamed Sydney)...in 1788.
1788!
1788!

"Invasion Day" protests to be held.

Australia Day should really be celebrated on Jan 1st...as Australia became a nation on 1st Jan 1901...Federation Day...represented by the 7 point large white star..."Federation" or  "Commonwealth" star...on the national flag...6 colonies became a commonwealth, one extra point on the star to represent the two territories.
Indigenous Australia has it's own flag, an official flag of Australia.

Two flags, two races, Black  and White (plus all other races), the flags flown side by side most everywhere today.

Recently iconic cheese brand COON cheese (the brand name is always in caps) changed it name after decade + lobbying...the name of the cheese somehow having become a racist slur.
Founder was named Mr Coon.
Company changed the name to CHEER cheese. Now there are complaints about that.

Yes but when all things Republican / Conservative are totally cancelled, the things you listed will be no more.

"having become..."

Quote
The now-insulting U.S. meaning "black person" was in use by 1837, said to be from barracoon (by 1837), from Portuguese barraca "slave depot, pen or rough enclosure for black slaves in transit in West Africa, Brazil, Cuba." If so, no doubt this was boosted by the enormously popular blackface minstrel act Zip Coon (George Washington Dixon) which debuted in New York City in 1834. But it is perhaps older (one of the lead characters in the 1767 colonial comic opera "The Disappointment" is a black man named Raccoon).

With appreciation to etymonline.com, from whom that was taken.

How will they be silenced at every turn when they have three television networks, the largest (by far) set of radio stations and local television stations, and copious newspapers all over the country?!

Please, tell us! We would love to implement it.

And why, again, if cancelling you all is the goal, would I not be deleting your posts and your membership?
