If only each of us asked ourselves this question on a personal level
Are my views logical and reasonable..?

I’m pretty sure 99.9% of Americans are reasonable and logical when it comes to private property rights

99.9% is probably a little high. There are a lot of people that don't own property and are envious of those that do. You also have the people who take sh!ts in convenience stores and don't give a sh!t about property rights.

Well, that's the thing about shits. You can take them and give, or not give, them.
Fucks are different. You can't take a fuck.

Run a golf course or live on a hill and that view will change DRAMATICALLY.

Sure they do.... just as soon as they take yours, they’ll be concerned about their property rights.

I figured that and fair enough. But any statement which Includes 99% of people along With the words logic and reasonable is DOA.

GOP Lawmaker Plotted Insurrections to Establish Christian State

Last year, the chair of the Republican caucus in Washington’s state legislature acknowledged that he had written a manifesto on the “Biblical Basis for War.” In that document, the lawmaker argued that – as far as Jesus Christ was concerned – American Christians have the right to “kill all males” who support abortion, same-sex marriage or communism (so long as they first give such infidels the opportunity to renounce their heresies).

The manifesto’s revelation cost its author, Matt Shea, his chairmanship. But Shea insisted that his writings were merely “a summary of church sermons on Old Testament war that could help place current events in historical context.” And so, the Washington GOP did not call for Shea to resign or expel him from its House caucus.

This past spring, the Guardian obtained text messages in which Shea discussed targetting anti-fascist activists for surveillance, harassment, and violence. One of Shea’s interlocutors, online radio personality Jack Robertson, offered this prescription for the treatment of a female antifa protester: “Fist full of hair, and face slam, to a Jersey barrier. Treat em like communist revolutionaries. Then shave her bald with a K-Bar USMC field knife.”

The Republican lawmaker replied, “Ok. What BG [background] checks need to be done. Give me the list.”

The leader of Washington’s House Republicans JT Wilcox called Shea’s participation in this chat “deeply upsetting,” and promised that “My conversations with Matt and the leadership will continue.” But Wilcox did not feel that Shea’s actions required his expulsion from government.
Nevertheless, Shea’s activities – which included working with Robertson on a plan for Eastern Washington to secede and reconstitute as “Liberty State” – concerned prominent conservatives in his corner of rural Washington. Spokane County’s Trump-supporting sheriff, Ozzie Knezovich, had long sounded alarms about Shea’s extremism. Meanwhile, one of Shea’s former supporters, Jay Pounder, supplied the press and state legislature with documents detailing Shea’s plans for establishing a theocratic government in Washington following some unspecified “collapse event.”

All this led Washington’s House of Representatives to commission a report on Shea from a former FBI agent. That report, which was released last week, alleges that Shea “as a leader in the Patriot Movement, planned, engaged in and promoted a total of three armed conflicts of political violence against the United States Government in three states outside the state of Washington over a three-year period.”

Sounds like you haven’t spent enough time on in ‘Merica or on social media sites like neighborhood.com. We are surrounded by idiots. I know that’s a cliche but good god it’s worse than I ever imagined. Don’t come back. Buy your boat and stay offshore is my advice.

Not really. A drip coffee is a drip coffee. I find the Pike Place to work as good as anything else to satisfy my caffeine fix. Never been a snob about drip coffee.

I’m not a snob either but not all drip coffee is created equal. I actually think the water has something to do with it too.

Judging by the Statehouses, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont all have Washington State beat.

I thought you lived in the great wide open like my home in NC

But I’ll offer that social media is a bad place to form opinions on what direction Americans are moving in... that is one place where I can confidently say that the uncivil and the uptight congregate, making them seem more prevalent than they are.

Many people who may advocate for removing property rights would change their tunes if the implementation applied to them as well.

It’s a lot like state communism.

Is he running for Congress? I don't agree with him but don't see a big difference between his bigotry and the members of the Squat.
