Hmm seems he is in favor of letting parents have their rebellious kids killed.
There are a lot of politicians that are in favor of letting parents have their, unrebellious, unborn children killed.

And for something as horrible as being disobedient, he wants to set an example.

He also opposes minimum wage, public school funding and supports deporting all Muslims and killing prisoners that are unreformed after 2 years to save money.
Only possible for braindead people who are somehow capable of still expressing their thoughts.

How exactly can one deport a person based religion if they were born in this country?

I've heard some pretty insane viewpoints from Tennessee and Missouri representatives lately though, that's what I mean. This seems to be another in a string of recent exposures of loony political figures. Granted, this man is not a politician yet, and surely (hopefully?) never will be.

People are loony, even more so in the south where people are much more religious than other areas of the country. Saying that, a few politicians saying stupid things still has nothing to do with how politics work in the US.
Anyways, back on topic. I'm going to file this under the, "Just because you have the freedom to say whatever you want, doesn't mean you should" category.

One man doesn't make ''Murica'.
In that case there would be a LOT of 'Murica, if I were to take the country one man at a time; because America would be Armstrong, and Einstein, and Edison, and Franklin, Faraday, Lincoln, and George Washington Carver.
This politician is a fine example of a 'rouge' brain, unfortunately in a position to express its thoughts and formulate behaviour that will negatively impact on the greater good of all concerned.

I'm not trying to say that this guy represents all of America, but these other guys were in fact elected, which does say something about the political system if they got into office. I'm not trying to start an argument, nor take it quite as far as you are suggesting. I'll just leave it at that. Cheers.

Oh, and which Armstrong? I can think of several, two of whom are Neil and Lance.

And of course the guy who made vinyl tiles . . .
I do beg your pardon, BobK - yes, both Einstein and Faraday had different nationalities, if not genetics, but I like to think they had a strong connection to where America is now, and in fact maybe the 'Murica of their times was what got them where they are.
I do get your point, though - wondered who would point it out.
I was not singling out any person, or even viewpoint here - though there was one post in the early part of this discussion that got me concerned - should we just shrug and say:
nly in 'Murica?
People make judgements about America - and in any case most other countries, too, - without even having set foot in the land. Worse, some Americans, themselves, who may not even have travelled out of their home states, make harsh judgements about the country as a whole. This should not happen. Let us not judge the whole country from the narrow thinking of one guy.
This shouldn't cloud the fact that, yes, the American political system is a mess. Case in point - early voting in Florida right now. And a possible victory with a narrow margin (remember Florida once, and those hand-counted votes that won Bush the election?) but does this mean the political systems in other countries are better? The world has swung from tyranny to peace through many cycles - but the cycles seem to have a softer impact - we don't go to world war that easily now - because we have politics as a way to talk about how to get along.
/Politics and Nationalism - there are threads for that.
As for the current event about this guy - No, guy, no. Bad. Get counselling. Read a bit. Leave those kids alone.
Never mind the whole death penalty thing.

You might have a faint one with Einstein, but Faraday! Not even remotely.I do beg your pardon, BobK - yes, both Einstein and Faraday had different nationalities, if not genetics, but I like to think they had a strong connection to where America is now, and in fact maybe the 'Murica of their times was what got them where they are.

And personally I wouldn't big up Edison either.
However on the general point that a single man doesn't make a country, well that is of course true. However a single man can have a massive impact on a country and how its seen, for better or worse (Ghandi and Hitler being two that spring to mind).
