Can anyone give me the definition of well-regulated? I must be missing something. Does that mean confiscation or regulation?

I had a very good education. All the way up the line. I learned to read and use the dictionary and do the research. If I didn't understand a word, I looked it up in that left-wing propaganda publication called, "THE DICTIONARY." I say left-wing because right-wingers don't seem to be able to read that word or know what it means.

Republicans and the NRA have convinced extremists and righties that regulate means confiscate. They say no regulation is needed. Just simply "KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE THEM - Mentally challenged, convicted felons (unless they are Republican felons or large Republican contributors), children (unless their parents our members of the NRA), poor people, Muslims, Jews, any Middle-Easterner or Mexican, wife-beaters, alcoholics, rapists, child molesters, gang members, spousal abusers, suicidal people and many other categories.)

However, they don't tell you how to find out if a gun purchaser falls into one of these categories. The best way is through registration, which is a form of regulation. With comprehensive registration and a reasonable background check period of time, these people can be weeded out, following the gun-rights desires.

Another way is mandatory gun locking systems, fingerprint ID or codes. A way of regulating who has access to that weapon.

But, rather than allow these simple fixes, the NRA has brainwashed people into objecting to something that even the NRA PROPOSED years ago, is simply unacceptable. They have convinced people that regulation means their taking away over 375 million guns (2016 #s) from almost 50% of the people in the US.

The logic is amazing. The government has trouble getting rid of 4 armed militiamen in Oregon. Imagine 165 million people.

By the way...regulate |ˈregyəˌlāt| verb [ with obj. ]
• control or supervise (something, especially a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations: the organization that regulates fishing in the region.
reg·u·la·tion (rĕg′yə-lā′shən) n.
1. The act of regulating or the state of being regulated.
2. A principle, rule, or law designed to control or govern conduct.

3. A governmental order having the force of law. Also called executive order.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
