    What makes you believe he was not serious? I think he was completely serious.

    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Liberals want you to only look for government to solve all problems through more legislation. What's ironic is that the more we enact legislation on top of more legislation and the problems remain or get worse, the more they call for further legislation.

    “I’m sorry, I mean, that should be outlawed,” Mr. Matthews said Thursday, the Daily Caller reported. “I know it’s well intended in some cases, but usually it’s a throwaway line by a staffer who knocks off some scripts, some product, some wordage for somebody political to make it sound like they give a damn.”....snip~


    You doubt that he was being serious, huh? Yeah he was just saying it for the hell of it. While blaming some staffer.

    My kids did when they were young. By the time they were in first grade they stopped believing in a Bernie Sanders kind of elf who fulfilled everyone's every wish for free.

    They don't believe in Santa Claus any longer but liberals still believe in a kindly old man who promises the same and like Santa Claus sticks the grown ups with the bills.

    Yet I'm not the one who can't tell the difference between hyperbole and actually proposing outlawing a statement.
