  1. Oh, you mean just like the United States Military and all levels of law enforcement in the United States?
  2. That alone is inconsequential.....as the entire subject is more complex then yes or no......there are those opposed to any and all forms, those that oppose only late term abortions, those that morally oppose but support the right to choose, those that favor right to choose but not on the taxpayers dime, those that only support ones in cases of maternal health and rape and those that are fully pro choice..........the exact same division can also be found with the Democratic party too........ With that being said, I return to my point, during the Bush administration, a socially conservative president, they could have "banned abortion" with their majorities in both houses and on the Supreme Court........yet they didn't.......why? And why do you think a RHINO like Trump would do what the bible thumping Bush administration didn't....
  3. You missed the point......those you suggest have infiltrated them (FBI etc), have already be infiltrated by the Oath Keepers, both through serving and retired members.
  4. Here's one from each house.......and Gov. Sandoval of Nevada, one of the rumored replacements of Justice Scalia
  5. Huh? Their 2016 platform.......and whats more, its no different then it was a decade ago, you know, when they held both Houses, the majority of the Supreme Court and the White House.....yet they didn't ban abortion then.
  6. The "group" is made up of serving members of all branches and law enforcement.......there is nothing to infiltrate.....actually, the inverse is so.
  7. "They" are already "here"......one of their number is expected to be a Secretary (Homeland Defense?) in a Trump administration.
  8. You have that wrong......if it were to be as dire as that, the Government wouldn't be turning over anything, segments of the military would have long ago taken it.
  9. I wouldn't bet money on that.......that is assuming the military, including the State's Guards, are a monolithic beast......their last Civil War was fought by West Point grads on both sides of the conflict.........as to being pissed off, that's subjective, but if everything was peachy keen, groups like the Oath Keepers wouldn't exist......for reference sake, the Oath Keepers have tens of thousands of currently serving and retired members.......far larger then ISIS or the insurgency that kept the Americans at bay in Iraq.
  10. As a whole? Of course not, but like Democrats (or Liberals and Tories here), there are varying degrees of opinion on any given topic....the point is regards to abortion, despite having held majorities in both Houses and the Supreme Court, allowing ample opportunity to do so, Republicans didn't overturn Roe vs. Wade.......suggestions that they will are as grounded in reality as those that said Harper would overturn gay marriage and abortion if ever given a majority.
  11. Or.........freedom to practice ones own religion sans the threat of legal action.......its kinda of an enshrined right. BINGO. States Rights are enshrined in the Constitution.....not having to look for another job or moving isn't. You mean a country comprised of numerous individual States, States that have enshrined rights and are reflective of the people that live within them........sign me up!!! And that is what you're missing.......said situation would be in response to a far greater amount of people feeling they too are already living a "shitty situation", a situation in which their Freedom to practice their religion is being eroded, not through the more commonplace mockery and disdain, but as of late, the threat of legal action and the hand of government.
  12. Nope, W's administration held both Houses and the Supreme Court for half his time in office.
  13. If it did happen, the ensuing political crisis would result in the Second US Civil war........instead of North versus South, left versus right or blue versus red.....or better yet, the armed versus the unarmed.
  14. No, that is the purview of the Senate.
  15. Better yet, explain to them how it is actually proportional, in that points are distributed based on Congressional districts in each State (plus two Senate seats per), which are allocated through population totals from the US Census.
  16. See Gov. Palin and none other than ......
  17. See the OP I fully expect her to fulfill a senior role in a Trump administration......she just spent the last several months as the face of Trump through media interviews....clearly she was successful in "translating" the Trump "message"....what better job for her then to do it on a daily basis.
  18. Social conservatives have controlled both Houses more then they haven't for the last two decades.........likewise, have governed more States then they haven't.......yet....for some reason they didn't get around to banning abortion.
  19. It doesn't mater what "I believe" (or anyone else), but what can be proven.
  20. I see.........explain how they are social conservatives, you know, jurisprudence and past rulings etc.........or better yet, prior to the passing of Justice Scalia, why these then five "socially conservative judges" didn't ban abortion or round up the gays.......you know, when they had an actual majority?
  21. I've heard three more interesting rumors for a Trump cabinet.....Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, Sheriff David Clarke and one really interesting one, carrying on with the populist theme......"Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe.
  22. They......as in the media? I wonder what "they" thought the Vice President elect would be doing for the next several months.
  23. I guess that's subjective........if one considers a senior cabinet spot "back of the bus"...
  24. Why would he be wearing one? There is no evidence of wrongdoing warranting charges, let alone a conviction.
