The Trace is a leftist propaganda outlet... [bearingarms.com]
RobBlair comments on Mar 6, 2019:
I'm gonna agree with the Trace a little on this one. If you are in a domestic abuse relationship the first step is to end the relationship and hopefully get a restraining order. Only after proper boundaries have been reestablished should a fire arm be introduced into the mix. Further, I am ...

@Lexicon https://theconversation.com/domestic-violence-how-the-law-treats-women-who-kill-a-violent-partner-6983 - Its Australia but, from looking at legal sites state side, the claim to self defense for a domestic abuse situation is complicated and not likely to go well for the woman. Further, if a relationship allows a partner within a gun's zone of control, it is likely that that gun has a good chance of being a detriment to the woman's life instead of helping (hence the often cited stats). Even in this rotten situation, the woman has a responsibility to avoid killing her partner by leaving the relationship.
Anyone else looking forward to the new Dune movie?
RobBlair comments on Mar 6, 2019:
So they are going to try again. I'm skeptical. It's a great story and it parallels with the idea of limited oil (spice) being pumped out of the Muslim states (Fremen) to power airplanes and cars (space travel). But good luck conveying that in a 3 hour movie. In today's foolishness, we'll ...

@Clammypollack - 6 hours might be enough. I think the original full version was 8 with a narrated intro. Yeah, saw the miniseries and enjoyed it. That was back even before I thought I was busy.
What are your thoughts about homeschooling?

"The right to mold the political, moral, and religious opinions of ... children is a right exclusively and jealously reserved by our laws to every parent; and for the government to attempt, directly or indirectly, as to these matters, to stand in the parent's place, is an undertaking of very ...

@Clammypollack - your Senior was angry - you should be proud!
Being a parent, I have witnessed the reduction in the effectiveness of our schools, at least in this...
Clammypollack comments on Mar 5, 2019:
Read The book, Dumbing us Down, by John Taylor Gatto. We have been dumbed down as a society. This is why we homeschooled our children.
RobBlair replies on Mar 6, 2019:
I will add that to my list. Free Gatto publication - http://www.wesjones.com/gatto1.htm

You don't think an investigation should take place after Trump's fixer just accused him of tax fraud, bank fraud, and violating campaign finance laws?
RobBlair replies on Mar 6, 2019:
AOC,“To your knowledge, was the president interested in reducing his local real estate bills, tax bills?” Cohen "Yes" AOC, "And how did he do that?" Cohen, "What you do is you deflate the value of the asset and then you put in a request to the tax department for a deduction," AOC, "the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company." Cohen, "Yes" I guess I'd be more interested in knowing how rich people continue to avoid paying taxes (like explaining to us how we can legally inflate and deflate asset valuations) if the people doing the investigation were at all interested in fixing the problems they created. No - as with the "Russian Collusion" this is just the next hit piece.
Marxism vs Fascism... discuss
RobBlair comments on Mar 5, 2019:
Marxism usually pertains to an international movement of workers rising up against the man where fascism is a national movement that incorporates some sense of national identity. Both involve state control over the markets and businesses and minimizes the individual. History shows that Marxism ...

I propose that gun free zones be accompanied with required screening and security to adequately ...
Boilingthefrog comments on Mar 5, 2019:
They had these zones in virtually every dictatorship in history. They work very well to reduce criminal activity. The socialist societies couldn't exist without them because who would stay subservient to the rulers they had access to weapons.
RobBlair replies on Mar 5, 2019:
I was thinking more like New York City which effectively doesn't allow citizens to carry weapons and yet the criminals are mostly unimpeded with using illegal guns. Under my proposal, a shooting incident occurs and the victims (or their survivors) can seek civil penalties against the city for not enforcing the restriction (and who wouldn't award them a sizable sum). Gun free zones should exist, but they should be held to higher standard. The person who creates the gun free zone is responsible for the protection of those within the zone. And, people entering the zone do so voluntarily.

What's your opinion on teacher's unions?
RobBlair comments on Mar 1, 2019:
I like good teachers being paid well and bad teachers being fired. I also despise the idea that the unions and the politicians can get together to spend taxpayer money on each other. Government unions should be prohibited.
RobBlair replies on Mar 2, 2019:
I'll also add, based on some of the other comments, being able to directly negotiate a salary keeps an important avenue of communication open, and gives the employee a certain level of self respect.
My proposed amendment to the preamble of the Constitution: "Even though it's painfully ...
RobBlair comments on Feb 27, 2019:
This idea/experiment that every human has equally inherent dignity and worth has, for our nation, eventually brought the end of slavery and much of racism. It has pushed us to fringes of sexual equality and argues against the historically normal "powerful having control over the powerless" type ...
RobBlair replies on Feb 28, 2019:
@Pre-Modernist - language from the Declaration of Independence was cited by Pennsylvania's assembly while arguing for and eventually passing the 1780 Emancipation bill. France's Rights of Man - "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights." Was cited for the French slavery uprising which led to the French emancipation. We should look at Virginia's Declaration of Independence as a failure to incite emancipation and also ask why the British were able to forward it, but I think there is enough there to cover for CvsC. As for being disingenuous, listing "fringes of sexual equality" is not entirely seen by me as a current benefit to our society(women's draft, sexual identity confusion, out of wedlock children, etc...). These are probably transition issues, but they do represent consequences (like a Civil War?).
