My mom, who lives in Geneva County, AL, just got a mass text from the sheriff telling everyone to get right with God and stock up on guns. Also, something about Syrian Refugees.

SirKibbles posted:What? These a part of the bible where after a city falls the kill all the adult men and sell most of the women and children into slavery or taken as wives, what bible are you reading? Being a bible literalist would mean being pretty drat violent even if you exclude the old testament the second half, which many evangelists believe supercedes the first

Not stopping people from freaking out. I'd like to see a ban on all arms that weren't available when the constitution was written. You can have as many muzzle loaders as you'd like good sir!

computer parts posted:I don't really know how you got that from the article. What it's saying is that the meme here about poor rural people voting against their own interests is incorrect. Rather, it's that the only people voting are the already rich in the area. For your hypothesis to be correct you'd have to show that these rich people were actually brought out of poverty and directly benefited from social services (and obviously at some level they did but some levels are more of a reach than others). From the same article quote:
As far as folk, particularly liberals, moving back into cities doesn't that screw us in a form of natural gerrymandering which would make potential rural blue districts even more valuable? This is the best news all year.

Luigi Thirty posted:As long as they don't back a specific candidate or speak for or against a specific candidate's policies they keep their tax-exempt status. While they are remarkably even handed in some areas (the Bernie speech) the university leadership has in the past been quite outspoken in criticizing policies and politicians on the left. In this speech for example he said "It just blows my mind that the president of the United States [says] that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control”. Now unless the IRS is operating on a looser version of the Senate's "my friend from [state] is an idiot" style technicalities or that Obama is somehow no longer considered a candidate under IRS rules that seems pretty blatant.

Actually, the massive political loophole for 501(c)(3) organizations is that you can advocate certain positions (such as "Only a retard would ban guns"), but you can't advocate/campaign for specific candidates. So as long as they don't openly advocate voting for Bob Smith (R - Bumfuck), they're pretty much golden (and even if they do the IRS is gunshy about enforcing the rules given stripped funding, litigation, etc).

ThirdPartyView posted:According to Section 501(c)(3), that's not correct: Yeah, but Joementum's right in practice. The IRS may have settled a suit claiming they haven't enforced that stipulation, but they still aren't enforcing it (thanks in part to the debacle over tea party groups getting investigated) and that restriction's days are very probably numbered as soon as the IRS actually does enforce it. I unfortunately agree that that provision probably wouldn't pass strict scrutiny, so as soon as it goes to court, it's probably done. EDIT: To be specific, I think that the "substantial governmental interest" test would be the hardest one for that provision to meet.

I unfortunately agree that that provision probably wouldn't pass strict scrutiny, so as soon as it goes to court, it's probably done. Also ads about someone's character, who is also running for office, doesn't count as political unless you "vote for/against candidate X." So an ad saying "Hillary Clinton will destroy America" or "Trump will make America Great Again" doesn't count as a political ad if a non-profit toes the line.

Phone posting so I can't post it, but Dyed's father gave an interview with a Italian paper La Stampa which was translated by the Times of Israel. In it the father admitted he knew his son followed and supported ISIS' leader ideology and became 'obsessive' about Israel. He also said that he tried to calm his son down by telling him that he shouldn't worry about Israel because the world powers would not want the Jews there anymore and move them. I found the the article which the text confirms so it's more than laughing it off as slander by the Times of Israel. Under this context it's harder to feel sympathy for this family with their repeated pleas of ignorance. Also his father sounds like a class act. Now it makes more sense as to why they picked their sandy hook truther lawyer.

I can believe some of the family dont know. I would like the think the Kojima glasses brother from the press conference didnt know. But its starting to sound like the dad and a few others did or least sorta did. what has the sandy hook lawyer even said so far? i saw some parts about how they dont believe the goverment that this was a terror attack.

Quoting and bolding chunks will do it no justice. I read the first two paragraphs and started crying. I'll have to finish this later, because I need to prepare myself. I cannot imagine how terrible it must be to go through such an experience. I'd also like to thank you for sharing this.
