Why does such a beautiful place have such a shitty government, TS?  My BIL lived there for decades, since he went to Catholic School and graduated from Mater Dei in the 60's, and moved to Reno a few years ago, never looking back.

Orange County in general has very good law enforcement. Just listening to a replay of the presser this am, and the OC DA stated they used "Rapid DNA" to match the -perps clothing, with the deceased blood.

Rapid DNA is an application first developed for military battle ground, then used for civilian applications, too.

Besides DNA blood there was also video showing the perp in the area, phone records showing they had previous relationships, etc.

The deceased was an elderly man, who helped the young vet, in the past. The deceased was married 52 years.

The DA is talking about the Propositions that gave way to early release of Steinle and this guy, who served 5 months of a 2 year battery sentence. Released days before he murdered the man.

Perp arrested 14 times. Police Chief and DA spoke about frustration about with Sacramento policies.

The people do seem to be expressing themselves at the ballot box however, and lately that hasn't favored liberals.

Nixon called it "The Silent Majority". It's still there, seeking an outlet and a way to express itself that is not decried as some sort of "-ism". At least the ballot gives that opportunity on occasion.

Not to deliberately be a wet blanket, but as I've pointed out elsewhere - if the silent majority continues to stay silent, we are not only giving it all away, but also are complicit in losing America.

Oh, I agree. People are 'getting it'. The liberals have reached th epoint that no matter how you disagree with what, you are some variety of "Hater!".
There is a backlash coming. The attitude is rapidly becoming one of 'If I'm going to be branded something no matter what I do, well, >characterization deleted<! You ain't seen nothing yet!'

Frankly, at this point, so many were cowed by the rhetoric before, that this may be the one chance (that serious surge of indignity over the repression of all this PC crap) that the country has to fight back.

We aren't giving it away, it is being taken by the communists in Congress and the do-nothing enablers who haven't taken this opportunity to reverse course in a meaningful way, and the tyrants in black robes who overthrow the results of entire elections to push their Liberal Agenda.

If you are referring to the constant never ending bitch-fest about how horrible is Trump,  then yeah,  we are getting pretty tired of hearing about that.   


You see,  no  new information is being put forth,  and so it's basically just another iteration of "I hate Trump"  in different words.   


We've already heard that opinion about a gazillion times.   Repeating it constantly adds nothing of value to any discussion.

Actually I was referring to people like you who have to bitch about what others say instead of scrolling past if you don't like what is said.  Some people even make suggestions that certain things be moved or removed so they aren't seen. It's ridiculous.

    I alluded to that fact earlier @RoosGirl and got turned in for not having a hall pass.

You don't address  bad ideas by ignoring them.  You confront them and beat them down.   Ignoring them just gives them power.

Fantastic.  I'm glad you agree that we should keep bitching about Trump when appropriate then.

90% of liberals say it’s hateful or offensive to say homosexuality is a sin, while 47% of conservatives agree.

Of course, naming a sin as such is always offensive to those hardened in that particular sin.  Which neither implies that it is hateful -- a heartfelt call to repentance is an expression of love, though it might be, if the speaker forgets the Scriptures against passing judgement -- nor that it should not be done.

I totally believe there is a silent majority that we would mostly agree with.
