All you needed to know about student activist David Hogg's speech at the "March for Our Lives" in Washington, D.C., over the weekend was that he affixed a price tag on the microphone to symbolize how much National Rifle Association money Sen. Marco Rubio took for the lives of students in Florida.

They don’t believe in “Civil Debate”. There is no side but theirs’. All other speech is Hate Speech. We learned this last Summer.

Dr Phil talks regularly about how the BRAIN in a human isn’t fully developed until they are mid-20’s.

This topic is often addressed on his shows about teen out of control & setting themselves up for total failure in their futures.

HOGG is the poster child for these comments by Dr Phil.

I totally believe what Dr Phil says on this topic, and even more so in today’s families, when the kids are bubble-wrapped & ‘protected’ from ever having to solve anything for themselves. They cannot do laundry, dust, take out the trash, mow the lawn or wash the family car without constant reinstruction it seems.

The future of this country is dire if there are a majority of David Hogg’s out there.

It is why civil debate is now impossible on most Progressive issues. The “middle ground” is defined by them as “a start” for the unconditional surrender of our side. It isn’t halfway between their position and ours. To them, the “sensible” middle position is firmly in their territory, the halfway point between their own moderate and fringe factions.

Hogg is a liar and is in this for his own 15 minutes in the sun.

Not all teenagers, or even most. It is just the media-paid Soros-backed “teenage” crisis actors, most of whom are popularity-baited opportunists, not even within the target-rich building.

Since it’s an Amendment, there is no debate.

This is strictly the MSM and other adults using juveniles to say what they want said, leaving them to just nod as though genius is coming from the lips of babes.

It is not so much teenage rage as it is the MSM artificially pumping up the volume.

In this they are no different than Bolsheviks andl Islamists (both of whom are to be found behind the scenes of the Parkland Parade of Pricks).

Exactly so. When they discuss the need for "compromise", they mean "We'll only take most of your guns."

"For now."

Stop with the idiot “crisis actors” meme. It’s multiple steps into loony-land.

Hogg and his ilk are plenty messed up without you be-clowning yourself.

Liberals don't even talk about repealing the 2nd Amendment, because they can't. What they want is for 5 old people in black robes to say that the 2A doesn't say what it says.

No, I figured it out in the 90s when other Conservatives still thought that the Feds were on our side.

But we also know that even small children can mimic or parrot their parents. Camera Hogg is parroting things he heard elsewhere. He - and we - are being manipulated. Only he willfully bathes in it while we see it for what it is and are resisting the nonsense.

Lowry is a court conservative he will always fail to dislodge his leftist counterparts from the moral level of conflict.

Ted Nugent for all his flaws is displacing the likes of that crazy young adult Hogg from the moral level of this conflict.

Like haranguing speeches and marches and more gun laws will prevent shootings? They’re living in a dream world.
