Tony is a squared away guy and is working with others in the industry like Mike Glover to put this together. Basically they are recruiting and funding vets to run for political office (he’s been critical of the Crenshaw types). I’m not the biggest believer in elections, but if we can effect change at a local level it’s a start.

Consider taking a look:

Better yet, I’ll tell you how to find it yourself, since the other party in this thread wouldn’t believe it if I screen shot it for him…

Search for his USPSA number. Get on the practiscore competitor app. Then look at the edits in 2018 and 2019. They will show his home range his scores were consistently edited in his favor on classifier stages. You’ll also see that he scores much higher on classifiers at home than he did at any other range.

Or if you’re lazy, Ben Stoeger made several posts with the proof in them. Either way, dude cheated.

Bingo!

Politics is a dirty game, if we keep looking for clean people to play they will continue to lose.

I want someone who will put a dead hooker and an 8-ball in the truck of his/her Democrat opponent's car to win.

I don't care how the Right wins, I just want to see the win at this point.

In the words of Orwell:

"You are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the minds of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases — to do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party? If, for example, it would somehow serve our interests to throw sulphuric acid in a child’s face — are you prepared to do that?"

The left played the long game of subversion for how many decades? We’re behind the curve for sure, but it can be reversed.

They overplayed their hand and the average American is not on board. The opportunity should be taken. Most of us don’t want to be bothered being involved in politics, but we can at least support those of us who do.

Oh its still very much a game, just a game with higher stakes. Right now the opposing team is openly cheating, the fans don't care and not playing isn't an option because the stakes still apply regardless.

It seems that leftists aren't innocent. In a sense that is right. BUT, there is a huge difference in killing someone because of their ideas, and administering justice for a person's acts. In the end it will become impossible to distinguish between the left and the right, they will all use the same murderous methods.

I can see part of our problem here is a lack of understanding history. The gulag is communist, not nazi. People always go straight to nazi as if they were some unusual evil in all of history. They were a regular evil with German efficiency and even then it’s their focus rather than scale that really set them apart. Communism actually killed way more innocents, WAY MORE.

And no, we are not that far off from an authoritarian rounding up dissenters here.

I will support a politician with a less than ideal personality, if they are willing to actually fight communism. It’s transactional for me, not some extension of my perfect character.

I would take a Franco or Pinochet over a Pol Pot or Stalin or Mao. We aren’t at that level yet, but we are never given a perfect choice.

As for the FBI rounding up 600, yes, I consider it troubling, but the people they arrested did break the law, is their treatment justified, no, is it equivalent to what the Nazis and Soviets did to people, no. They will get out of jail.

I find it hilarious that people take a persons comments about not playing fair to automatically mean "kill innocent people" and "loading them into boxcars". There are levels of not playing fair. Multiple levels. Working the system in your favor isn't really "fair" but still falls into the legal category.

As far as politics not being a game. A whole super popular series called "Game of Thrones" showed how much a "game" it can be. By definition a game doesn't necessarily mean it's fun and good.

Taking just one of it's the definitions and saying "see it isn't one" is also "cheating" - I guess the end justifies the means in that case then?

Let's see, "putting dead hookers and 8 balls" in the cars of the opposition leftist is JUST not "playing fair", it's wickedness. Cheating isn't just just some harmless past time like playing football, it's wickedness. How far our standards have fallen. To beat the leftists, we must become them. To me, the right is already defeated with that attitude.

"Game of Thrones" is a TV show for pete sake, a make believe world. politics is real

And how is this rounding up of dissenters supposed to take place? I don't see an effective round up machine in place or even close to one being in place...unlike the Nazis and Soviets.

I can only point you towards learning some history. Generally nobody really sees it coming. Sort of, because you can often see all the ingredients are there, but not the spark that sets it off, until it does. Sometimes there is no spark.

Someone randomly assassinated a prince and WWI kicks off. Same region different time, communism collapses and civil war with horrific ethnic cleansing begins.

I can’t tell you when or how. I personally think it’s going to look more like the Spanish Civil War. It involved a rigged election, purge of religion and nationalism from schools and the military, anarchist street riots… but you’re probably right, none of that stuff could happen here.

Fair enough. I do try to keep my eyes and ears opened to the bad intensions of the left.

That vitriol and hatred exists in the hearts of the left, and they think they're the saviors of humanity and the planet.

They may not be trying to put us in literal boxcars. But they’re definitely aiming for Australian style tyranny where the whole society is the camp. And only the ones that play along get the odd benefit here and there.

We don’t even need to play dirty. We just need to put some effort into the fight beyond pulling a lever every couple years.

Then work at convincing others of the dangers of the left. The people in my church (a small congregation) are acutely aware of the dangers of the left. Those I know outside my church range from pretty aware to "I really don't give a crap, because I'm caught up in my money, toys and leisure". They know Biden is a jerk and incompetent, but evil...nah. And for those times when persuasion and voting don't work, and they're knocking on your door to hall you off for your bad thoughts....then keep your powder dry and go out with a pile of empty .223 cases at your feet. But that last one is a last resort.

Let's see, "putting dead hookers and 8 balls" in the cars of the opposition leftist is JUST not "playing fair", it's wickedness. Cheating isn't just just some harmless past time like playing football, it's wickedness. How far our standards have fallen. To beat the leftists, we must become them. To me, the right is already defeated with that attitude.

"Game of Thrones" is a TV show for pete sake, a make believe world. politics is real

Look up all the definitions of what a game is and get back to me. You cherry picked one that supports your narrow minded definition of it and ran with it. In other words, you yourself cheated. Not very becoming of you. Go get the definitions and get back to me. Politics is most certainly a game.

I picked the first and most widely used definition.

I didn't cheat or cherry pick, I just don't agree with using that term, which most people using the term for politics seem to imply a "not serious" view of this most serious activity.

That's part of the problem though. Games can be serious and have serious consequences.

OK you got me 3 a&b it is. I don't use the term for politics, but others may. Good thing we have that settle now.

With a definition like that, everything can be a game. This forum is a game. War is a game. Sex is a game. Breathing is a game.

Your right. Everything could be...but not everything is.

If you don’t care how the right wins, are you willing to just start eliminating opposition? Gas chambers?

Sure. Let’s just jump to the ultimate extreme. :rolleyes:
