I can go to some far-right sites and also paste things that disprove what you have said and pasted. But common sense dictates that nobody would plan in advance, and wait through two attempts for permitting for a rally march, which is what it was designated as, not a protest march for tearing down statues and monuments, that a judge had already stopped due to a lawsuit, was doing all this abiding by the law because they had planned to commit violence on anyone along their rally march route. But the same cannot be said for others who masked-up to hide their identities, then took arms toward where the rally marchers were. Then after the initial violence from one side against the other, with these two abhorrent groups, one being originally attacked by the other, should then go out searching to take revenge for the attack and assault on them.

I have read many of your post on these sites, and believe you are a closet liberal, claiming conservative tendencies because of your time in the USMC, but you always take the side of the liberals, and ignore the BLM and Antifa calls for the killing of police officers and white people, and declaring anyone who claims 'All Lives Matter', nothing more than racists.

It was the Antifa and BLM who first perpetrated the violence and started the riots, which they have done everywhere that they have assembled for protests, as the Berkley campus incidents is another indication of their modus operandi, which I'd be willing to bet that many of the Berkley attackers and assaulters, who also masked-up to hide their identities, and armed themself for what they declared would be a peaceful protest on the Berkley campus, were some of the same who attended the Charlottesville riots. As far as the people who went to the college campus in Charlottesville violently protesting, how could the authorities know which side they were from, since some of them were also wearing masks, indicating that they were actually the Antifa and BLM protestors that were causing the riots in the first place.

The abhorent white supemist, KKK, and alt-right didn't plan go to a planned AntiFa and BLM protest march, they set up their rally march long in advance of anything the Antifa or BLM set up, not in protest, but a rally in support for the preservation of the historical statues and monuments, which the Antifa and BLM set up their protest march, that they turned into a riot, to confront the groups that they have so much hatred for, and you just can't accept that because you believe as liberals do, that abhorrent groups should have no rights, unless they are advocacy groups for the liberals, progressives, and Democrats, like the Antifa and BLM are, that the Democrats and their political party members have embraced, despite their calling for the murder of our police officers and white people.

We have suffered through 8 years of that bias, bigotry, and prejudice of double standards and a dual justice system, and it has grown tiresome and boring, and we've had enough, and is the reason we elected President Trump. President Trump was correct in the way he responded to the violence, because he knew both parties were guilty, and that the AntiFa and BLM had started it, just as they did on the Berkley campus in California. Most reasonable and sane people realize this, and think it is about time the guilty accept the blame for their actions, and that is not saying the abhorrent groups have no blame in this incident, but it was planned and instigated by the AntiFa and BLM (which have proven to be abhorrent groups also, even if they are liberal advocates for the Democrats), solely because of their hatred, because nothing was physically done to them to start the violence.

You can't accept any of this, just as I cannot accept your constant liberalizing by blaming everything on the conservatives, Christians, and Republicans, especially President Trump, who has done nothing yet to harm a single American citizen, yet all the liberal hate that has been spewed upon him because he beat the Democrats' criminal candidate for the Presidency. And if you don't think she is a criminal, then you don't know all that she has done, and have not compared it to the 6 military personnel who went to prison for mishandling of classified materials, to a much greatly lesser extent than was done by Hillary Clinton, and also what she ordered others to do with classified materials, and ignorance of all the many crimes she committed is no excuse, but a false excuse.

Well let me be the first to admit that I am a conservative Christian, and an American citizen, who does not put all the blame on AntiFa, for both at Charlottesville, and all the riots at the Berkley campus in California, the BLM fascists joined with the AntiFa fascists, to turn a protest at Berkley into a riot, with destruction of public and private property, attacks and assaults on anyone and everyone that didn't agree with them or their agenda, and if you were just standing there and watching, that proved you didn't agree with them since you weren't particpating, so you were physically attacked also. Then they denied the conservative speakers their right to free speech at an event that had been planned for a long time, yet shut down by the riots of the fascists AntiFa and BLM. If you don't think that they and their actions and methods qualify them as fascists, then you need to look up the definition of fascists. It was notable that most of them were wearing masks to keep from being identified, why would anyone do that if they were just planning a peaceful protest, sort of shows the anticipation of guilt, doesn't it.

At the Charlottesville riots, the abhorrent white supremist, KKK, and alt-right planned well in advance and got a permit for, after two tries, to have a rally march in favor of preserving our historical statues and monuments, which I disgree with most everything these groups stand for, but for this cause I agree, as does most southern people, unless they are black, and even many black people agree also.

But the AntiFa and BLM, knowing who was going to be marching in this rally, not taking into account it would also be many normal citizens who back the cause of the rally, decided they were going to use their fascist methods in a protest march against this rally march, which the AntiFa and BLM did not get a permit for, probably because they were denied if they tried, since a permit for that day had already been issued, masked up and armed themselves for a planned attack on the rally marchers, disguised as a protest march that was illegal because they were not issued a permit to do so. The rally marchers with the permit did nothing to anyone else, but defended themselves when the were attacked by the AntiFa and BLM, just as those fascist groups had done at Berkley, and I'd bet some of the same people attended both planned riots.

The white supremist, KKK, and alt-right are not innocent groups, and some of what they believe in is abhorrent, but they are American citizens, and have the right and freedom to march in a rally for the preservation of our historical statues and monuments, no matter what you or I think of them, for if their rights and freedoms can be taken from them by violent fascists, and every event that Antifa and BLM attend turns into a riot, and they're the ones that do the turning, while wearing masks to hide their identities and bring arms to supposedly peaceful events, and when those who are attacked fight back in self defense, they blame it on the ones who were originally attacked, and because they are liberal, progressive and Democratic advocacy groups, the Democrats and liberal biased mainstream media protect them and side with them, no matter how obvious their guilt in the violence that occurs, whereever they go.

Anyone who sides with the fascists, are as guilty as the fascists, who are perpetrating violence on others, and are huge hypocrites for siding with the guilty, just because they are part of their political group, the "EXACT SAME THING" that the left falsely accuses President Trump of. History proves that fascists are only from the left, the socialists, communists, and Marxists, who all fascists in world history have come from, and not a single right winger has ever in mankind's histroy been a fascists, for Hitler came to power through the German socialist party, as did Muslolini ten years prior to Hitler, and as did the English, French, other Europeans, and Americans who became fascists, also came from the ranks of socialists, communists, and marxists, and that is actually historical fact, as North Korea and Cuba has also proven to be true.

I will post some historical proof of what I just said on this site as soon as I can go back and retrieve it.

I want to take a moment to issue my opinion about the role the Antifa takes in what appears to be a rise in violent confrontations between Americans. I don't personally know anyone who is associated with Antifa and to be honest, I don't know much about the organization, other than the fact that they consider themselves anti-fascist, which I am too but are they really helping the current resistance to fascism?

I have two separate reactions to the recent fuss over Antifa depending on the argument I am responding too.

To those on the right, who seem to jump at the chance to make Antifa the centerpeice of blame or a distraction from the antics of white supremacy groups. I say this... If you're going to promote bigotry and hatred, don't be surprised if you get some backsplash.

To those on the left, who support Antifa, I say this... Chill out.

As frustrating as the current government might be, it is still bound by a functioning framework of laws so it's not too late to leverage that constitutional system. In fact it's this system of laws that has so far stopped every white nationalist aspect of Trump's agenda in it's tracks. What the resistance needs is more emphasis on laws and local politics. A good example of resistance is the ACLU, an organization viciously hated by the right *because* they are so effective. And the ACLU is effective because they focus on our system of laws. Whenever you hear someone on the right saying "the liberals are destroying America", they are almost always describing their frustration (whether they know it or not) over ACLU victories within the context of our constitutional framework.

In contrast, Antifa is totally counterproductive. I *do* understand the frustration young Americans are feeling toward Trump and the white nationalists and the attraction of confronting them. I understand the feeling that you just want to beat the living shit out them. But this is the sentiment we hear being expressed by right-wing extremists about liberals, Jews, blacks and... well anyone who isn't a white nationalist. Do we really want to stoop to the same level? ...it's not a winning strategy.

Noam Chomsky recently described Antifa as a "major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant." Indeed they are because every time we accuse right-wing extremism of violence or intolerance, they have the ability to accuse the left-wing of the same thing and in the tiny minds that seem to gravitate to the extremes, one sin is a good excuse for another. So why give them such an easy pitch?

I'm not saying there will never be a point where violence *IS* the answer and I will admit that Antifa is a nice reminder that plenty of Americans are willing to confront the fascism of the white national movement but I don't think we've reached a point yet where we've run out of better alternatives. I think we need to give the constitutional system a little more faith because so far it's proving to be the better strategy.

Leave the violence to the fascists on the right and let the law handle it. Recognize the self-defeating nature of their violence. Look at Ruby Ridge, Waco and any of their idiot "stand-offs" did they win ANY of them? Look where their violence got them in Charlottesville... They went in with the intention of preserving one statue of Robert E. Lee and because of their violence (specifically, the murder of an American citizen) they came out loosing something like 19 different Confederate monuments throughout the country. That's what you call a backfire.

This is why the alt-right is loosing the America they want, because groups like the ACLU keep winning legal battles in the system, where the less-capable alt-right depends on public outrage to drive the battle which often results in violations of the legal system and guaranteed defeat.

We should try to keep it that way, at least while we still have a functioning constitutional system.

There is a reason why "Occupy Wall Street" had to dissolve before "BLM" could ooze from the sewer. They are the same nut-job leftist professional thug protesters.

They wear masks because of facial recognition. Because many of them are the same people.

The left's violent militant wing changes their names.. Nothing else changes much, except the level of violence and the level of anger and hatred toward the American people.

Yup! Optics and semantics have taken the day! When honest patriotism and love of country can be renamed "white nationalist", and everybody buys in, we have already lost America. We're about to get a real education on just what the term "remnant" means!

The American Left Is Now The Party Of Fascism !!! History Repeats It's-Self !!!

August 9, 2017

The American Left Is Now The Party Of Fascism. The Democrats’ 'big lie', blaming own Fascist sins on Trump and Republicans.

Dinesh D'Souza
http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/sick-twist-american-left-is-now-party-of-fascism/


We hear the word “fascist” a whole lot these days: Trump is a fascist, if not a Nazi; The Republican Party is the fascist party.

As for the left, the Democrats, they present themselves as the anti-fascists, the people fighting fascism. We can see this in the names of leftist groups like Antifa, which stands for anti-fascism. Yet, when we look around, we see the Democratic and leftist protesters who are disrupting the inauguration. Who are organizing violent rallies around the country, who are stopping campus speakers from speaking.

These are people who seem to be using fascist and Nazi tactics. The masked Antifa thugs carrying weapons seem eerily similar to the fascist Blackshirts and the Nazi Brownshirts.

So isn’t it strange that the people purporting to fight fascism resemble the fascists in shutting down speech. And disrupting democratic debate through the use, or threats, of violence?

We need to look at fascism more closely and ask: Is fascism really a phenomenon of the left or of the right? Let’s begin with the remarkable statement by Adolf Hitler in a 1927 speech. “We are socialists,” he said. “We are the enemies of today’s capitalist system of exploitation and we are determined to destroy the system under all conditions.” Does that sound like Donald Trump? Actually, it sounds a lot more like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

Hitler changed the name of the German Workers Party to the National Socialist German Workers Party. He wanted to emphasize that the Nazis were socialists, and that Nazi economic policy involved complete state control of the private sector. Indeed, the very name Nazi is a compression of the two terms “national” and “socialist.”

All the leading figures of early fascism, not merely in Germany, but also in Italy, France and England – were men of the left. Most of them moved seamlessly from Marxism and socialism, to fascism and Nazism during the 1920s and 1930s.

Here are some examples. Jean Allemane, famous for his role in the Dreyfus case, one of the great figures of French socialism, became a fascist. So did the socialist organizer Georges Valois. Marcel Deat, the founder of the Parti Socialiste de France, eventually quit and started a pro-fascist party in 1936. Jaques Doriot, a French communist, moved his Parti Populaire Francais into the fascist camp. Belgian socialist writer Henri de Man transitioned into becoming a fascist theoretician. In England, Oswald Mosley, a socialist and Labor Party Member of Parliament, broke with the laborites because he found them insufficiently radical. He later founded the British Union of Fascists and became the country’s leading Nazi sympathizer.

In Germany, there was a similar traffic from socialism to fascism. To give a single example, the socialist playwright Gerhart Hauptmann embraced Hitler’s National Socialism and produced plays during the Third Reich. After the war, he called himself a communist and staged his productions in Soviet-dominated East Berlin.

In Italy, philosopher Giovanni Gentile moved from Marxism to become fascism’s leading intellectual. Many Italian labor organizers made the same journey: Ottavio Dinale, Tullio, Masotti, Carlo Silvestri and Umberto Pasella. The socialist writer Agostino Lanzillo joined Mussolini’s parliament as a member of the fascist party.
Nicola Bombacci, one of the founders of the Italian Community Party, became Mussolini’s top adviser in 1943.
Gentile’s disciple Ugo Spirito, who also served Mussolini, moved from Marxism to fascism and then back to Marxism. Like Hauptmann, Spirito became a communist sympathizer after World War II and called for a new “synthesis” between communism and fascism.

All of this is incomprehensible if fascism is considered somehow “right wing.” None of these men saw it that way. They didn’t “convert” from left to right. Rather, they viewed themselves as moving seamlessly from one form of socialism to another. From a purely class-based socialism to a broader form of socialism that took into account class as well as national loyalties.

We can see this in the example of Mussolini, who established the world’s first fascist regime in Rome, a decade before Hitler came to power. Mussolini was the leading Marxist in Italy, the recognized leader of Italian socialism. After his successful March on Rome, Lenin sent his congratulations, praising Mussolini as a fellow revolutionary on the left. Mussolini’s career shows how fascism grew out of Marxism. Marx had predicted that the increased impoverishment of workers would cause a socialist revolution to erupt in the most advanced industrial countries: Germany and Great Britain.

That didn’t happen. This created the famous “crisis of Marxism” in the late 19th and early 20th century. Out of that crisis came two new forms of socialism: Leninist Bolshevism and Mussolini’s Fascism.

“The foundation of fascism,” Mussolini writes in his “Autobiography,” “is the conception of the state. Fascism conceives the State as an absolute. In comparison to which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. For us Fascists, the State … represents the immanent spirit of the nation.” Replace the word “fascism” with “progressivism,” and we could be hearing these words recited at a Democratic National Convention.

Mussolini broke with Marx on a single point. Marx insisted that workers are loyal only to their class. “The working man,” Marxists liked to say, “has no country.” Mussolini knew that people are no less attached to their nation than to their occupation. Consequently, Mussolini, like Hitler, embraced socialism of a special kind, namely national socialism.

Like the Marxists, the fascists and the Nazis also embraced violence as a revolutionary concept. Nazi violence involved disrupting campus events, threatening and beating up dissenters. And enforcing a conformity of thought and practice in line with the regnant ideology. Notice the close similarity between this fascist bullying and the conduct of the American left today.

In ideology and in tactics, the American left today is the party of fascism. The only difference is that it denies its true pedigree. Their big lie is to blame their own sins on Trump and the Republicans. In a sick twist, the real fascists in America pretend to be anti-fascists. And accuse the true anti-fascists of being fascists.

For me, it would be a shame to tear down the Monument Avenue statues of Lee, Jackson, and Stuart, as they represent historical truths about their devotion to Virginia, and they do serve as a reminder that they fought for Virginia, not slavery, yet they also serve very cogently as a reminder that slavery is over and has been over with for 152 years. Looked at that way, it seems senseless to tear them down. One might ask "why now?" after all this time, must they be subjected to hate?

Well said Manning and Welcome as well..

Ripping down our statutes that have stood for years in symbolic gesture to the history of our country will not change the history of it.. unless of course they also impose blocking books of our history from teaching students as well.. To allow one is to see the disease spread to the next level..

I am disgusted by the effort and do not support it one bit!!

The wants of the few over the will of the many equal further division and escalation to a potentially dangerous change in the course of direction and patience..

Nothing is achieved in this act. And it's about time we stop all these childish division we create for ourselves based on what this government really want to achieve. Which is in fact obstruction, diversion, and most assuredly division...

One may ask why now after all this time and never received an answer. The only real answer to it is the progressives intent to change the foundation of our country. To change it's history. To force their will against the will of the majority....To make us all collectively equal and program into us the fact individualism is not tolerated in this country any longer. To that I say BS capitalized BS!!

As is your norm, another outstanding post!!!

There is nothing strange going on, it's all intended to chip away at our foundation as a country while converging their progressive Marxism front and center!!!

Remember they want us all equal, they don't want individualism, and they certainly don't want us achieving in this nation....

Dare they lose us, they lose the ability to control us! !!! I say yea buddy let's do it!!! Don't give them what they want....Resist as we have to in order to protect and defend our nation.....Stand of the fittest and fed up with the garbage produced by the progressives, it is time to be especially assertive in letting it be known we are fed up....

There are laws on the books to prohibit removal of the statute or defaming them or breaking them ietc.. why are we not enforcing these laws? Again those appointed to defend and protect the laws of this land used to usurp their responsibilities. Accordingly, they should be dismissed from office... Not only dismissed, should be charged. Dereliction of duty that amounts to inciting riots, getting people killed, or damaging our statues or artifacts must be stopped.

Bobby, the "whole truth" is in all the facts, ingested with common sense, and not with prejudice.

How come the Charlottesville violence occurred exactly how the Berkley campus violence did.

Why were the protesters (those who were supposedly peacefully protesting against the rally march of and for supporting the preservation of our historical statues and monuments, that was planned far in advance and had to apply twice to get a permit to march) masked-up to hide their identities, and armed themselves to go to what they claim was going to be a peaceful protest, the exact same modus operandi of those who had protested at the Berkley campus in California, which consisted of the same protest groups, the BLM and AntiFa, which was also turned into a riot where property was destroyed and people physically harmed?

Were some of the same BLM and AntiFa members attending the Charlottesville protest march, also attend the Berkley campus protest march, because both protest marches ended up in riots, by masked and armed people attacking and assaulting other people, that were there for a different reason than protesting, but for rallying people to support the preservation of our historic statues and monuments instead of protesting anything?

The BLM and Antifa said that the white supremist, KKK, and alt-right were protesting the destruction of those historic statues and monuments, but that is a lie, because those historic statues and monuments had not been taking down and destroyed by the authorities yet, because a judge halted them from doing so, because of a federal lawsuit that was filed to stop it from happening days before the rally march was scheduled, and whatever actions that had been planned had to wait until after this lawsuit was settled.

Another fact that is not being reported on is that the white supremist, KKK, and alt-right groups could not muster-up as many people that were attending that rally march, which was being done peacefully when it first started, and the extra people had to be regular citizens, like myself who wanted those historic statues and monuments preserved.

So who instigated the violence, with attacks and assaults on the people that they hate, because the reason for the rally march had no hate for anyone involved in it, but only the hope to rally enough people to speak up and get their politicians to take action to preserve those historic statues and monuments, while the protesters came to confront those rally marchers, who set up their rally march long before the event, and took all legal actions to get a permit to proceed with their planned rally march. Is this the modus operandi of those who plan violence on the people of that city?

This violence creating a riot out of a protest march is the proven modus operandi of the two groups, BLM and AntiFa, that came to confront the rally marchers in Charlottesville, as they had also done at their Berkley campus protest march, and also turned it into a riot where public and private property was destroyed, and people that didn't agree with BLM and AntiFa were physically attacked and assaulted. So if you were not involving yourself in the riot, that proved to the BLM and AntiFa that you didn't agree with them, so you were then pointed out to become, and were made, a victim of the attacks and assaults. Then they also denied everyone their constituional rights of free speech and peaceful assembly, by not allowing anyone to speak up that didn't agree with them, using violence to prevent such opposing speech, as the planned speakers on the Berkley campus were not allowed to give their far in advance planned speeches.

Now when the attacks and assaults were instigated by some of the groups against the other groups, the other groups started fighting back, not only defending themselves, but they also agressively went after the original attackers, and they are the ones that are getting blamed for the violence, because of their agressive defense against those who provoked them with the original attacks and assaults, while the people who didn't want to be part of the violence started clearing out, but was then attacked and assaulted by both sides of these warring groups.

Therefore both sides share some guilt, but to be honest, the instigators who came to start a riot by attacking and assaulting those that they came to confront, should bear the lions share of the guilt, but are being held innocent by the liberal biased media because they are advocates of the liberal, progressive, and Democratic causes, as the Democratic Party has embraced them, despite the fact that they have called for the murder of our police officers, and all white people.

If that isn't exactly how the Charlottesville incident, that was turned into a riot, occurred, it's pretty damn close, and common sense would dictate who the real guilty groups are, by the facts that brought all this, and these groups, together, and what they had supposedly planned to do, rally or confront, you choose the guilty party.

I personally detest and abhor both sets of groups, because I'm against what both sets of groups stand for, because both sets of groups are racist bigots, but one set proclaims to be conservative and Christian, while the other set are advocates for the liberals, progressives, and Democratic Party which has embraced them both, despite their call for murder of our police officers and white people, and is why you'll never hear anything bad or against the BLM and AntiFa from the liberal biased mainstrem media, who keep the facts hidden from you that they don't want you to see or learn about, so when an atrocious incident of violence occurs, you'll take the side of their advocates, because you wont have all the facts to make an intelligent and correct decision as to who is to blame, you won't have the "whole truth".

just what constitutes the whole truth Randy
The left's version of what happened?
or the right's version?
Will we ever know the whole truth?
We can listen to the right and get told it's all the left's fault
Then the left tells us it was the right who caused the mess
looks to me that people believe what they want to believe

I want to take a moment to issue my opinion about the role the Antifa takes in what appears to be a rise in violent confrontations between Americans. I don't personally know anyone who is associated with Antifa and to be honest, I don't know much about the organization, other than the fact that they consider themselves anti-fascist, which I am too but are they really helping the current resistance to fascism?

I have two separate reactions to the recent fuss over Antifa depending on the argument I am responding too.

To those on the right, who seem to jump at the chance to make Antifa the centerpeice of blame or a distraction from the antics of white supremacy groups. I say this... If you're going to promote bigotry and hatred, don't be surprised if you get some backsplash.

To those on the left, who support Antifa, I say this... Chill out.

As frustrating as the current government might be, it is still bound by a functioning framework of laws so it's not too late to leverage that constitutional system. In fact it's this system of laws that has so far stopped every white nationalist aspect of Trump's agenda in it's tracks. What the resistance needs is more emphasis on laws and local politics. A good example of resistance is the ACLU, an organization viciously hated by the right *because* they are so effective. And the ACLU is effective because they focus on our system of laws. Whenever you hear someone on the right saying "the liberals are destroying America", they are almost always describing their frustration (whether they know it or not) over ACLU victories within the context of our constitutional framework.

In contrast, Antifa is totally counterproductive. I *do* understand the frustration young Americans are feeling toward Trump and the white nationalists and the attraction of confronting them. I understand the feeling that you just want to beat the living shit out them. But this is the sentiment we hear being expressed by right-wing extremists about liberals, Jews, blacks and... well anyone who isn't a white nationalist. Do we really want to stoop to the same level? ...it's not a winning strategy.

Noam Chomsky recently described Antifa as a "major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant." Indeed they are because every time we accuse right-wing extremism of violence or intolerance, they have the ability to accuse the left-wing of the same thing and in the tiny minds that seem to gravitate to the extremes, one sin is a good excuse for another. So why give them such an easy pitch?

I'm not saying there will never be a point where violence *IS* the answer and I will admit that Antifa is a nice reminder that plenty of Americans are willing to confront the fascism of the white national movement but I don't think we've reached a point yet where we've run out of better alternatives. I think we need to give the constitutional system a little more faith because so far it's proving to be the better strategy.

Leave the violence to the fascists on the right and let the law handle it. Recognize the self-defeating nature of their violence. Look at Ruby Ridge, Waco and any of their idiot "stand-offs" did they win ANY of them? Look where their violence got them in Charlottesville... They went in with the intention of preserving one statue of Robert E. Lee and because of their violence (specifically, the murder of an American citizen) they came out loosing something like 19 different Confederate monuments throughout the country. That's what you call a backfire.

This is why the alt-right is loosing the America they want, because groups like the ACLU keep winning legal battles in the system, where the less-capable alt-right depends on public outrage to drive the battle which often results in violations of the legal system and guaranteed defeat.

We should try to keep it that way, at least while we still have a functioning constitutional system.

Linda my Joy, you are just too astute for me to be able to give you anything new, in facts or occurences, you are always right on top of everything, and have a very intelligent mind to use those facts to figure out what is really going on, which means you possess tons of 'Common Sense'. That's why I'm glad to see you on OPP, to help disseminate truthfulness of facts honestly, to help those who are uninformed, and who need to know the "real and whole truth", which you seem to be able to carry around in your pocket, and disburse it whenever needed, you are truly a GODsend. These people don't know how lucky they are to have you on this site, which makes me think that I am not needed here, but enjoy what you have to say too much to leave from here. You are always so complete in what you have to offer, that there is nothing that I need to, or can give, to add to what you have always already said. You humble me, for which GOD knows that I need, and I suspect that may have something to do with our meeting and our sharing of thoughts and feelings. Hope to talk with you again later, but also very soon.

There is nothing strange going on, it's all intended to chip away at our foundation as a country while converging their progressive Marxism front and center!!!

Remember they want us all equal, they don't want individualism, and they certainly don't want us achieving in this nation....

Dare they lose us, they lose the ability to control us! !!! I say yea buddy let's do it!!! Don't give them what they want....Resist as we have to in order to protect and defend our nation.....Stand of the fittest and fed up with the garbage produced by the progressives, it is time to be especially assertive in letting it be known we are fed up....

There are laws on the books to prohibit removal of the statute or defaming them or breaking them ietc.. why are we not enforcing these laws? Again those appointed to defend and protect the laws of this land used to usurp their responsibilities. Accordingly, they should be dismissed from office... Not only dismissed, should be charged. Dereliction of duty that amounts to inciting riots, getting people killed, or damaging our statues or artifacts must be stopped.

StraightUp –
I want to start by telling you that you have written a very accurate and comprehensive piece that I agree with totally. Now comes the However part: What you don’t say is that the ACLU always wins because they take cases that are constitutionally right, but always favors the left. Oh yes, they have their token right wing cases to claim impartiality, but they are basically considered a left wing organization and I believe rightly so.

In order to ask you the next question I have to express my despicable hatred For the KKK and all White Supremacy organizations in order not to be accused of supporting them and hopefully you’ll believe me. However, I need to ask if you can document a time in recent history when either these two or any other rightwing organization that were marching and demonstrating legally wherever - threw the first punch? I’ve watched many of these protests that have erupted into violence and yet to see the radical, so-called rightwing group, start the fight. As hated as they are they had every right to protest legally whatever without hindrance from radical leftwing groups, but for reasons you should know well, they are always given the blame.

Regardless of how we feel personally about these groups, right or left, the blame has to be honestly placed where it belongs. The stupid sap that ran over and killed a lady happened after a long day of rioting and did not cause the initial eruption. Do you know who started it?
Overall StraightUp, your post appears to have an overall slightly blue haze surrounding it. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Huck

Good Morning Bobby.. People do believe their own conclusions and will not deviate from it.. This forum a perfect example of such...

What I fail to understand is the total shut down to any other suggestion made just trying to debate the issue.. Narrow mindedness keeps us in a hole blocked from the reality of the world!!!


And a very good morning to you, Linda. You are so right about the narrow-mindedness of some people on both sides. One should try to keep an open mind to any logical conversation. Since Trump was elected to become President it seems to me the loyalists of the Democratic party have gone mad. I sincerely hope they can regain their sanity before it destroys this great country. Hope you have a great day in the sun today.
