Thats nice. How do you feel about our democratic system? Or the fact that a state government building was shut down because of threats from militia groups?Quote:

Except it wasn't shut down by "militia groups", it was shut down because the moonbat Governor was trying to use the state police like her own personal Gestapo.Quote:

If it was shut down because of militia groups, so what. The militia is "We the People" as stated in the constitution and, as usual, the people are sick of more taxes.
Not to be a wut aboot, but didn’t the exact thing happen in Scott Walkers state a couple years back? In either case, I’m with Backrash on this one. Do your fucking job as representatives, even if I disagree. Do your jobs. Elections have consequence.
Kinda inbetween it on it for me. Crappy of them to walk out but shitty for the Governor to authorize the state police to arrest them to make them come back.Quote:

Interestingly enough, Oregon was the first state to introduce a gas tax that was to be used for road maintenance.
Even more interesting, Kate Brown and her husband just moved into the 11,000 sq. ft. governors mansion back in 2015.

Back, how do you feel about a politician that wants to raise taxes to combat "global warming" while her and her husband live in a 91 year old, 11,000 sq. ft. home?
The governor also wants the state to visit all homes with newborn children.
I find it shocking that the militia has grown in numbers in Oregon, shocking!
Then show up and make your point. I didn't, and I'm sure no one else elected, someone not to show up. You go to work and do you fucking job, not drop out like a fucking loser. I didn't vote for anyone not to work, get to work.Quote:
