    Great line:

    Cars cost tens of thousands of dollars, but if you can get a gun, you can get a ride anywhere.

    Ah, red neck heaven, where only the good ol’ boys get to vote.

    Why is the mainstream news media lying about this? They know what’s going on, but are to rotten to report it. Why are intelligent people not picking up on the obvious that Sarah Silverman so bluntly articulates? Frankly, I don’t know why Americans aren’t swarming the streets in the millions to protest this. Why are Americans so damned docile? Why are Americans so submissive compared to, say, Argentines? Remember this news from Argentina? http://www.news.com.au/world/fo...-1226418950785
    I hope to someday read news from the United States of American war criminal leadership and fascist American criminals who illegally attack democracy put on trial. Will it happen someday?

    I was banned too. Exact same time that I was banned from my newspaper, Bangor Daily News. Are we just controversial, ‘ya think?

    I know that I write fascist a lot. Have been told that totalitarian is much more acceptable.

    I think it does come to being punished for not adhering to their brand of dogma and “no no” list vs genuine freedom of expression, including freedom to ask and explore questions. It’s hypocritical when a supposedly “alternative” news source practices the same kind of autocratic behavior that so offends them when others do so. “Alternative” autocracy.

    I know that I write fascist a lot. Have been told that totalitarian is much more acceptable.

    LOL.

    She is lying, anyone can get ID from Motor Vehicle dept, even non drivers. Gun owners have ID’ s much tougher (almost impossible) to duplicate. College ID’s? easy to duplicate. Misleading propaganda, and inciteful due to way it plays on race.
