The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Yup. From a conservative Republican Mormon family raised in the gun culture.

You are ruining his non-point! If it helps, remember, conservatives don't know what the words they use mean, only how they make them feel. "Killed a Republican" = Leftist...it doesn't matter that most recent political murders against conservatives were from other conservatives, they don't do facts. The same with communist or socialism. They don't actually know what those words mean, they just know "unga bunga feel-bad word make BIGLY MAD!" Once you learn that, it helps debate them more effectively.
