Inaguration crowd size

Personally I'm surprised you didn't go in the direction of calling them fascists for having soldiers there. I see Mossrose has you covered on that one.

I guess if you're calling them namby-pamby for wanting social workers not soldiers, and Mossrose is calling them fascist for having soldiers, then they must be threading the needle correctly as your two critiques are from opposite directions.

The precautions taken during old Joes inauguration were a little chilling to say the least

And are bound to make people wonder what exactly is going on

And make some comparisons

And wonder why the government never took any even remotely similar precautions when roving bands of thugs were burning buildings in their neighborhoods last summer.

"Hey, I'm a bigger Christian than you! Just look at the size of my Bible!"

They had to get one big enough so it could be hollowed out in order to contain a copy of the Communist Manifesto along with Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals

Trying to paint the dems as anti-flag falls on its face utterly you look at the absurdly huge number of flags that the dems chose to have at the inauguration.

I don't think I've ever see a right-wing cartoon that wasn't all of really obviously stupid, wrong, and misleading...

Considering how during a recent Democratic convention they had to suddenly add a bunch of flags at the rear of the stage because there weren't any to be found anywhere and they realized that would be noticed by the public at large, that suggests a mind set that isn't exactly pro-flag and only sees it as a necessary evil so to speak, A "prop."

This trend started shortly after a study found that when Americans see the U.S. flag they tend to feel patriotic and when they're feeling patriotic they are more likely to vote Republican.

And the absurdly huge number of flags at the inauguration was designed to conceal the absurdly few number of people allowed to attend. See Sparko's post #379

Knowing Joe, he probably walked out onto the portico and said, "Wow! Look at all the people here!" And then his wife had to gently tap him on the shoulder and say, "No, dear, those just flags."

Eh? You want to send in the troops against a tiny peaceful protest?

What happened to pretending it was the left that was authoritarian? What happened to pretending you were the one who supported the constitution and the freedoms in it? Doesn't take much for your inner fascist to surface does it?

The "tiny peaceful protest" where they seized six city blocks and declared it a separate political entity not beholden to U.S.? Talk about seditious insurrection. The one held for nearly a month and patrolled by armed thugs who shot at those who dared approach "their" autonomous zone resulting in the killing of two in separate instances? The one where, like in so many other sites where there were "mostly peaceful protests," a police precinct was set on fire after the exits were blocked in an attempt to barricade those inside so they would burn to death? That "tiny peaceful protest"?

No it's a format thing I suspect. I often write replies in Word and when I come to C&P the font is tiny so I simply change it and enlarge it.

Use notepad.

I've done that (in notepad) from time to time with larger posts. More space to write, and it's a formed habit from older forums that might cause a lost reply and alot of lost work.

Stop giving orders. Who made you the forum Gauleiter?

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

It should be perfect for you then! Or does you version contain The Christian Boy's Wonder Book of History?

What drugs are you on to make this stuff up? Did you not see the huge number of flags at the rear of the stage at the Republican convention?
