Funny, I've never read posts from you condemning the violent acts of the Manson cult. Where are those posts? You must be a huge Manson fan and fully support the brutal murders carried out by his followers. I also haven't seen your posts condemning the vile acts of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. You're one sick ******* supporting these mass murderers. You should hang your head in shame. I've searched up and down this board, not a single post from you denouncing Jeffrey Dahmer. You must be a huge fan. Makes me sick to my stomach that you worship these brutal, blood-thirsty mass murderers. Shameful and reprehensible.
See how that works. Easy peezy.
This has to go down as one of your top 5 moronic posts of all time.
Let me see if I can make it 1st grade simple for you.
Manson's actions are not affecting us today. He didn't start a movement. He didn't change cultural thinking. His isolated acts of lunacy were just that. Isolated, and he's been removed from influencing society.
Contrarily, what has happened over the past decade, two decades, three decades politically DOES matter today.
Examples:
Abortion - still a lightning rod in this country decades later that still embroils us nationally in debate and conflict
Obama's Presidency - the things he did, the legislation he enacted, the words he used STILL affect us to this day. His divisive words enraged a base of our population and has lingering effects. We saw much of that last year
How Democrats and Republicans have handled "Governing" - what Harry Reid did during Obama's Presidency led to negative reactive behaviors that have us at a point where Dems are going to stack courts, make 3 other states out of Democratic strongholds, and roll back legislation out of spite. Like dominoes falling we are watching reaction after reaction to past actions
The riots, last year and current. They are intertwined, whether you will honestly admit it or not. People are angry and protesting now, following example of what our leaders endorsed last year.
Maxine Water's words...drove people to action.
A Congressman being shot by a Liberal still affects people mentally today. Coupled with the attacks on countless others like Rand Paul. Seeing Congressmen surrounded and harassed in the streets of DC last year affects behavior and thinking THIS year.
Sorry, you don't get to dismiss the past when the past laid the foundation for where we are. It is ingrained in where we are, why we are where we are, and must be addressed along with the issues facing us now because they are 100% material to the current toxic environment we live in.
