I read this opinion on Quora Digest and chose to reprint it with minor corrections, as I basically agree with Mr. Wilson

By Eric Wilson

So we’re going to break this down really quick. Lets say that CNN was an enemy of the state, why? Well, it’s because they are biased. Why is this a bad thing, others like FOX are fairly biased as well, so it must be because not only are they biased but because they are biased and disagree with the right wing views. So, if CNN were the enemy of the state, their charge would be ‘views that disagree with the president.' So to put that into perspective, at least 50% of the country would also be considered enemies of the state.

This question is the perfect place to get this point across, as it isn’t an issue of left vs right. That false dichotomy has been destroying our country ever since the Reagan administration. We are all Americans, so does it really make your next door neighbor an enemy if he v**ed differently from you? Both ‘sides’ are pushing so hard to demonize and dehumanize the ‘other side’, and why? Are we not all humans, do we not all share in the same hopes and fears and goals and dreams? The only difference, and I need to emphasize this, the ONLY difference between someone on the left and someone on the right is what we think the best solutions would be. That is what truly made America great, people of differing views on solutions and achieving goals working together to reach those same goals.

How are we supposed to work together at this point when the false dichotomy between the two ‘sides’ is so strong that your average person on either ‘side’ is so full of animosity and venom that they’d not flinch if the other side were brutally murdered? I try to have a discussion with someone on the left, I slightly disagree with what they are saying, and suddenly I’m one of the ‘others’ and I get called a r****t sexist bible- thumping moron and anything else they’ve been trained to use as an insult toward someone on the right. I do the same with someone on the right and get the same result, I’m an i***tic godless baby k*****g gun grabbing Muslim-loving liberal. People have been taught for so long that anyone who disagrees is an enemy, that those enemies are all the same, and that there’s no room for middle ground. These days the self given title of ‘independent’ is meaningless, it typically means that the person saying it is polarized but resists the party on their side for not being polarized enough. This false dichotomy prevents communication, prevents discussion and actual solutions and actual progress. We’ve gone from moving forward as a country, being the world leaders in innovative ideas and progress both scientifically and idealistically, to being a stagnant country in a semi-permanent tug of war for power.

I wanted to run for congress in 2018, I ended up not doing it simply because I don’t have the funding to successfully run an independent campaign, but as part of that goal I took on a mission; I started regularly talking to people I disagree with, regularly having discussions with people on all sides of the political spectrum, and I’ve learned a lot more than I thought I would. Even I’ve been guilty in the past of dehumanizing others who disagree and lumping them all in together. The most important thing I’ve learned, for the most part the ‘sides’ are meaningless. We all want the same things, we all want our kids to grow up healthy and educated, we all want out homes to be safe and prosperous, we all want our lives to feel meaningful. All of the energy we put into casting blame, into pointing the finger and finding a villain, into gaining support for our ‘side’ by creating outrage at the other ‘side’…. If we put a fraction of that energy into simply talking, working together to find individual solutions for individual problems, we really could be great(er).

The USA Has 40% of the World’s Guns – and Only 4% of the Murders

A Newsweek article back in June attempted to highlight just how crazy it is how many guns there are in America. “Americans have 40 percent of the world’s guns despite being four percent of population,” the headline reads.

They were reporting on the findings of a newly-released study by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies “Small Arms Survey,” which detailed how there are 1 billion firearms currently in circulation, 85 percent of which are in civilian hands. And of those in civilian hands, a near-majority are in American hands. “Of the 857 million civilian-owned guns noted, 393 million could be found in the U.S., a country of just over 325.7 million people in a world of about 7.6 billion.”

You know the angle that Newsweek is getting at with all this; that the majority of the world’s guns are in America, and that America is rife with gun violence, therefore gun control. What they left out of their article is a lot more important than what they included. Here are the homicide stats as of 2014, with some global context:

• World Population: 7,298,453,033. U.S. Population: 318,857,056 (4.4% of world total).
• World Homicides: 384,553. U.S. Homicides: 14,249 (3.7% of world total).

In other words, Americans commit just 3.7% of the world’s murders, despite having 4.4% of the world’s population and 40% of the world’s firearms.
That certainly throws a wrench in the “more guns, more murders” claim, doesn’t it? Liberals commonly point to the fact that gun homicides are higher in America than other countries, apparently forgetting that there are multiple ways to k**l people.

While it is true that countries with more guns have more gun murders (as guns become the preferred method to carry that out), the correlation isn’t there when it comes to overall murder rates. That could reflect a number of factors; that the increase in gun homicides is offset by guns used in self-defense or simply that people find other ways to carry out murders if they don’t have access to a gun.
Despite the massive outlier the U.S. is, it is not an outlier when it comes to our overall murder rate. Liberals must be at a loss to explain why that is.
Here’s just a sampling of the left-wing hysteria on guns we’ve been recently exposed to in the U.S: You will see they are totally uninformed about firearms.

• “Some of these bullets, as you saw, have an incendiary device on the tip of it, which is a heat-seeking device. So, you don’t shoot deer with a bullet that size. If you do you could cook it at the same time.” – Former Democratic New York Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington. { Lol, shows what he knows, nothing!}

• “What’s the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you… these are ammunition, they’re bullets. So the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.” – Colorado Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette. { Lol, no told her they are refillable}

• “We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.” – Democrat Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. {He has no idea.}

• “…it is easier for a 12- or 13-year-old to purchase a gun, and cheaper than it is for them to get a book.” – Former President of the United States Barack Obama. { Lol, what can one say??}

Barack Hussein Obama: Con Man And Criminal Admits He Is Foreign-Born

As a matter of fact anyone who dared point out that he was a foreigner (I was one of them) and ineligible for the presidency of the United States (Article 2, Clause 5) was called by the CIA-controlled media, today’s conservatives (yesterday’s lawless liberals) and the professed Christians, a conspiracy theorist or a “birther.”

Names, of course, were used to demean and discredit anyone and everyone that dared call out the obvious when it came to Barack Hussein Obama because they were unwilling to deal with him themselves.........

Does he know they are untrue statements? He must know since the statements are easily disproven which then of course means he is a liar. Does he not care if people see him saying his lies? Does he think he is above the t***h? Is he exposing his vanity as someone not chained to the t***h?
Does he believe the statements are true and he is somewhat delusional? Could he be disclosing his fantasy world; the world as he wishes it was? Perhaps he knowingly makes false claims to gain attention? The free press wouldn't report on his rallies if Trump didn't make several lies. I can't name any person living today in public or private life or even someone in the past who made false statements or claims as consistently and in the amount that Trump does. There is something wrong somewhere.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/08/01/president-trump-has-made-4229-false-or-misleading-claims-in-558-days/?utm_term=.c3ce186308e2

e held a summit with Kim Jong Un. He met one-on-one with Vladimir Putin. He browbeat NATO allies in Europe. He hosted raucous campaign rallies and fired off tweets like there was no tomorrow.

President Trump made a staggering 976 false or misleading claims during June and July, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.

With nearly 1,000 claims packed into two months, it’s clear we’ve entered a new phase of Trump’s presidency. The June-July tally represents 23 percent of the grand total of 4,229 faulty claims since Trump took office.

During the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. Now, he’s averaging 7.6 claims a day. Put another way: In his first year as president, Trump made 2,140 false or misleading claims. In the six months since, he made another 2,089, nearly doubling his total in half the time.

The Great Failure of M**************m in England
By llvadmin On Aug 1, 2018

Muammar Gaddafi may have been a brutal dictator within his own country if official recent history holds true. But he was also a necessary bulwark against waves on i*****l m*****ts who are now and have been for some time flowing into Europe, Canada, and the United States.

Take London for example. Once a mecca of culture, history, art, and refinement — England’s proudest city — is reduced to the stomping ground for hordes of invasive foreign migrants who have no respect for English culture or for western values.

In England, it is a criminal offense to even notice the fact that migrants from the middle east are running roughshod over the local population. In a public park, for example, where it is illegal for people to hold religious services, huge groups of Muslims are being permitted to stage massive prayer events — despite no other religious group being allowed to do so. One local woman complained to a police officer. She cited the law and told him that she knew they were being allowed to do something actual British citizens could not do.

She was arrested in her home the following day on dubious charges.

This is what’s happening in Europe. And if it wasn’t for the strict protection of our right to freedom of speech here in the U.S, the same thing would be happening to us.

But, if we do not fight for our right to free speech- there are forces aligned now to take it away.

Here’s The Rebel Media with more on the terror in England which we must be ready to resist.
