I think a Republican would agree it's ok to shoot in self-defense.
Ergo it should be ok to shoot a Republican if they're trying to take your health insurance and leave you to die.

Self defense is a good reason, but in SYG states you can also use deadly force to prevent a forcible felony. So, when the Democrats try to raise my taxes I can shoot them to prevent armed robbery!

I'm liking the turn this conversation is taking.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

...how does continuing the current practice of ordering you to buy health insurance at high premiums constitute "taking your health insurance" away?

What does tripling and quadrupling health insurance premiums in three years constitute? Helping people out? Giving them insurance?

If you have a bloodlust for punching Nazis it is probably better to take your angst out in a Nazi-killing simulator like this one.

Aye, vicarious slaughter is far better for society than the actually thing.

LOL, naturally, the racists in the UK and Oz are the benign, ambivalent sort... hardly racists at all, limiting their racism to resistance to opening a council house next door, or during drunken blackouts....not like the real heavy duty racists in north Merka.

No. Our racists are just as stupid and bigoted as anyone's thanks.

I'm sure they are. But in the article quoted above, there was the obligatory "stuff is worse over in big-bad Merka" blurb, where the racists in the UK "only come out" when subsidized housing is going to be nearby, and the one's in Oz are just drunken bogans....

I no longer have a problem with using violence in political debates as the lefty/liberals have shown themselves to be beyond reason. I can't wait for the 'Day of the Rope' and pic related.
