Yep. Really important read for anyone who wants to understand what's actually going on in politics. He lays it all out.

I don't think posting a quote by Machiavelli fits the definition of idiotic stuff.

-Me Wow, setting so much stock in a petty net forum personality squabble that you both completely discount Machiavelli and strongly side with the most rabid of gun banning zealots is an astonishing action for someone to take on a 'gun site'.

Just because a fart is entertaining sometimes,it doesn't mean that I want to smell it. And what kind of mental defect do you have,that makes you think that you can order me to put your boyfriend on ignore? And to be clear,just because I fear you have delusions of adequacy,you need to GFY !

If people would stop responding to Bart, he'd stop posting.

BB, your rants against TRH may make you feel better, but they do not help the forum. You are better then this. Please rise above it.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell

TRH is the biggest idiot/troll this place has,or ever will see. He parrots google every time he posts. Never had an original thought... EVER!!! He's never met another member face to face as far as I know. I actually think he's locked in his room because he was probably born without ears and breastfed into his teens. I use to have more contempt for him until I realized how pathetic he really is. Like him if you want to but you should take into account what he is.

So, have you read The Prince? No sir I haven't. Renaissance literature ain't my cup of tea but I do understand the jist of it. I'm not a fan of philosophy either because when it comes down to nut cutting time,I not one to have a seat and think about what needs to be done.
