Why do conservatives believe what they believe? Because of misleading articles like this one.

We know this because our country was founded on the principle that our rights come from God, and that our government is only instituted among the people to secure those rights and protect them from infringement. Moreover, when our government begins to overstep its rightful bounds, and when the public servants who are hired by way of vote begin to trample those God-given rights and usher in an form of governance that is destructive of that idea, then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish that governing system and institute a new one.

I see a great opportunity here for divinely-guided marketing services whereby a Higher Authority leads us unerringly towards the right target audience. ;) Jason ON Add to it the need to buy more incense and the odd candle and we simply cannot lose! :D

It doesn't help that gun zealots are also becoming increasingly easily triggered. Metaphorically and otherwise.

Alex Shull I would. However, I don't believe our government would give crap one about the Constitution if the 2nd amendment were repealed. After all, all those Democrat members of Congress have armed guards. If there were no threat of right wing nut jobs rising up in armed revolution (as opposed to just being revolting), the Parties could just declare it null and void. Should it happen on a Republican watch, we could end up in "The Handmaid's Tale", on a Democrat bend we could end up with the worst parts of "Logan's Run". Like it or not, believe it or not, those Idiots and lunatics with their guns and their Doomsday prepping are our last line of defense against tyranny, and like nuclear weapons they are a defense we hope we never see used.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
