    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    Exactly. He is a buffoon. But the comments being talked about hardly seem to warrant the hysteria being pushed here and elsewhere, especially as those hysterical seem to not give a damn about the sort of disruption and intimidation that the groups opposing him are intent on and have long been...

    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    Would you or your hypocritical chums care to put your views about speech and responsibility to violence in concise terms, perhaps in standard form. At the moment it seems to make no sense: it seems to me you are claiming that because Trump encouraged some violence in a few off-hand comments, he...

    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    What appears to be the claim is that Trump encouraged some violence, therefore he is entirely responsible for all violence associated with his events, including disruption and violence that originated, unprovoked (in any direct sense), from his opponents, whose groups and movements have long...

    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    Perhaps. But Trump is, at worst, partially responsible for some of the violence of his own supporters, if and when that occurs. He isn't responsible for disruption and violence initiated by his opponents, especially when those opponents are associated with groups and movements with long...

    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    Rent-a-mob doesn't mean they are hired. It means they are the same sort of constant crowd of agitators that always turns up. You are being hypocritical. These protestors didn't become disruptive and violent because of Trump, and certainly not because of a few off hand comments about punching...

    Christian democratic

    Marbury set out the rationale for the legalistic constitution, in which the court tries to adhere to the clear and accepted meaning of the text. This is quite contrary to views that see the constitution as mere inspiration for the free creativity of judges. I noticed you didn't answer my simple...

    Christian democratic

    This is equivocation. You are equivocating. When I said elected I was clearly referring to the usual democratic sense, not to indirect election to lifetime positions. This creates a great separation between the people and the judges. It doesn't make much sense to vest the power to change the...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    If the disruption is one is that a reasonable person would consider objectively disruptive, then it is certainly illegitimate and will lead to confrontation. If protestors bar the entrance to a rally by linking arms that isn't technically violence, but the distinction is irrelevant for our...

    Trump Rally Cancelled in Chicago Amid Protesters!

    Okay. But why do you strike me as not caring about the sort of violence and disruption routinely countenanced by the hard left rent-a-mobs involved anything like you are concerned about Trump's? Seems hypocritical and partisan. At least Trump has given out mixed messages and at least his...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    In what sense? The AP report strongly supports the claim that the disruption started with the protestors, and what I linked to in the other thread supports my claims about the intention of many protestors. Knee-jerk dismissals are meaningless because they justified and unjustified ones are...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    Why didn't you just say this to begin with, instead of pretending I was trying to base my claims on the one source? I mentioned that I'd given plenty in that thread. Reading comprehension is very important in these discussions. Here is one source...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    I didn't say the evidence for that was in that one report. Where did I suggest that? I specifically noted I posted plenty of evidence. Why would you think all of my claims were all in that one report, then? That seems a self-serving and silly presumption. Perhaps you should read all evidence...

    Liberalism and Anti-Fascism

    I think it is silly to consider Trump's rise some sort of crisis. He is just a buffoon who has made a few off-colour statements. I'd be more worried he does something stupid as president more than he does something evil or fascist. I can sort of see the general point of the OP, but it would be...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    Many of those who ask for evidence don't really want it. Let's hope that is not the case here. I already posted plenty of evidence in the other thread: http://www.religiousforums.com/threads/trump-rally-cancelled-in-chicago-amid-protesters.185471/ But you only had to pay attention, and not...

    Sheriff's Office considering charging Trump

    I think Charles Krauthammer describes the two distinct issues involved here well: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/432799/krauthammers-take-trumps-winking-and-nodding-urging-fans-rough-protesters There is the issue of the disregard for free speech and differing views from the hard left...
