January 22, 201313 yr I happened across this on Politifact.com as I was researching another topic. Politifact seems to be unbiased, but please let me know if anyone has info to the contrary. The subject concerns a Providence City, Rhode Island council resolution claiming that semi-auto weapons were designed for military use. Another knee jerk biased resolution based on conjecture. Assuming of course that the information contained herein is accurate! The subject heading of the article is this: "Semi-automatic weapons, whether pistol or rifle, were designed for use by the military on the battlefield." Providence City Council on Thursday, January 3rd, 2013 in a council resolution Here is the link: http://www.politifac...laims-semi-aut/ I'm a firm believer that the inoculation of the 2nd amendment is only a prelude to a further erosion or complete abandonment of (whats left of) the Constitution. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels (Hitlers master propogandist)

January 22, 201313 yr Politifact definitely has a bias. The bias is left leaning and in line with their funding. Put politifact bias into google and you will get tons of examples. They are big on making excuses for Obama, doing things like flagging compromised promises as in progress because they are sure he'll finish them some day, and holding GOP candidates speculative statements to a standard of needing to be factual while dems speculative statements are often categorized as opinion which they don't fact check.
January 22, 201313 yr Remember that annoying lady when you were a kid? You know, the one that was always getting involved in other people's business and complaining about all the neighbors? Those busy-bodies and do-nothings are the people that make up these town councils. They can pound sand.
January 22, 201313 yr Author Politifact definitely has a bias. The bias is left leaning and in line with their funding. Put politifact bias into google and you will get tons of examples. They are big on making excuses for Obama, doing things like flagging compromised promises as in progress because they are sure he'll finish them some day, and holding GOP candidates speculative statements to a standard of needing to be factual while dems speculative statements are often categorized as opinion which they don't fact check. I had a feeling that was the case. At least the article explained that semi autos werent design specifically for the military.
