That's the kind of fact and logic filled discourse we find ourselves in. Unfortunately, he did disallow the re-importation of a few hundred thousand M1 Garands from Korea. Rather insignificant and not really anti 2nd amendment, but now in the eyes of at least my single issue voting in-laws he's the anti-gun crazy nutball they "predicted" he would be in 2008, and I was wrong about gun rights being a more or less dead issue. And pointing to the national park thing gets no headway since Obama didn't push for it himself and "probably didn't even know what he was signing". You cannot win.

Yeah, I mean, look at what Wayne LaPierre of the NRA says: a literally insane person posted:“In public, he’ll remind us that he’s put off calls from his party to renew the Clinton [assault weapons] ban, he hasn’t pushed for new gun control laws… The president will offer the Second Amendment lip service and hit the campaign trail saying he’s actually been good for the Second Amendment.”

dur posted:Yeah, I mean, look at what Wayne LaPierre of the NRA says: LaPierre comes off as crazy in everything I've seen/heard from him. I get robo-calls of him asking for NRA donations occasionally. At some point I must have ended up on a Conservative list, cause I get NRA calls a few times a year and emails from the Heritage Foundation weekly. Or maybe they just assume I'm Conservative because I live in SC. Anyways, I think the NRA is kind of an interesting example of what happens to special-interest groups when they "win". For all intents and purposes gun control is a closed issue. But the NRA has to keep playing the persecution card, no matter how crazy it gets. If there is no threat, people stop giving them money, and stop caring what they have to say. Which in turn means they lose their money and political influence. So they are left with either shutting down (ha!) or making up crazy poo poo so that they always have an incompetently all-powerful enemy to fight.

zeroprime posted:There was a short segment on From Our Own Corespondent this last September that interviewed people, in I think France, who had to get their food at the government market/French equivalent of food stamps. Listening to the shame in their voices over just trying to feed their families was goddamn heartbreaking. This also used to be done in America. I was raised on welfare and government cheese. It was the best tasting cheese. I was little but I seem to recall my parents getting it at the welfare office. It wasn't in a normal store, at any rate. And it as delicious.

I know there are food banks that are run as charities, but I never heard of government stores. Though I wonder if they can take food stamps. If they can it would really be an ideal place for a family to stretch every dollar of assistance.

I can remember standing in line at the local National Guard Armory for surplus cheese, powdered milk and rice. At the time I didn't think anything of it as everyone in my little town in AR was just as poor and was in line as well. The help was appreciated, but that nasty cheese was anything but delicious. I wish I had a sample now to check the sodium levels. It was USDA surplus which was preserved to last while shipping overseas and was the saltiest poo poo ever.

Nope, just because those are the food items we used to get. The rice was good and if you diluted the cheese with enough powdered milk it made a passable sauce for the rice without being too salty. if we were really fortunate someone would get lucky and kill a deer and we could mix some meat into our homemade Hamburger Helper. I was soooooooooooooooo poor. I take it as a mark of my character that I haven't turned into a conservative rear end in a top hat just because I have a middle class lifestyle now. :EDIT: Plus I am an old person, just not so out of touch.

I can do the thread one better: Google "Payday Monsanto", that dude is my cousin. I just got into a little poo poo fight with him on FB when one of his endless youtube links annoyed me. Same old poo poo, 9/11 was an inside job, thermite paint, chemtrails, fluoride, Zionist pigs, RON PAUL 2012, etc. Dude lived in my aunt's basement for 30 years loving around with a beat up turn table and now with the febrile conspiracy theory environment married to the internet, he's like a mini Alex Jones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaP0q_ONLYI
