The most eloquent and insightful discussion of the gun-control "progressive" mindset I've ever seen. Written by a true "liberal", in the original sense of the word.

Clearly you did not read the section of the article in question or watch the clip, and instead went full Alex Jones "a liberal touched it, COOTIES!!!" mode after only reading the first paragraph and skimming the rest... Short summary : Moore was considering his own perspective on why Columbine happened and asking if an external factor like SSRI Antidepressants might just be at the root cause.
I think Lumpy hit it right on the head with his succinct description of the article: The most eloquent and insightful discussion of the gun-control "progressive" mindset I've ever seen. Written by a true "liberal", in the original sense of the word. Kudos and thanks for sharing this.

Where's the genius that can create an alliance.
We fought with the Russkies, gave them food, trucks, guns, planes and Hitler went down in flames.....
The strangeness of the alliance of Guns/Abortion is intriguing.......
My take on the author's political stance is that he regards the current system as a bizarre hybrid of classic capitalism and pseudo-reformist, sell-out "liberalism". Sorta the way some rabid British "republicans" insist that Britain still needs to officially abolish monarchy.Rip Van Winkle wrote:I finally got around to reading this long winded and at times seemingly contradictory article.
I found myself agreeing with much of what the author said, but I also think he could use a remedial course in political philosophy.
