The tolerant left!

 

I'm going to assume that's another video of the same event that B-man posted above that was subsequently made private.

 

It's disgusting. The left is increasingly fighting against freedom of speech & association, and they're resorting to violence more frequently toward those ends. That's an open acceptance of fascism, and it's as un-American as you can get.

 

No wonder so many are against private gun ownership.

That's been the trend since 2001 on both sides of the aisle on the federal level. It's the only true bipartisan achievement of the past decade.

You assume correctly.

So I guess not ALL black lives matter...just the ones that agree with the left.

 

Horrible, embarrassing episode. The guy taunting her at the end should have his own ass beat.

 

Fortunately, guys like that ALWAYS get theirs. You just have to be patient.

Conservative African-Americans aren't black. They're race-traitors.

 

(I wish I were indulging hyperbole.)

:huh: I don't get what you mean - I'm referring to the increasingly violent "protests" (let's just call them what they are: riots) and open aggression toward conservative and libertarian values, all in the name of some misguided, sanctimonious, self-righteous, socialist-progressive, holier-than-thou belief that they are sole owners of all that's right, just, and good.

 

Anyone who openly supports any republican political figure - Trump or anybody else - is routinely accosted, shouted down, or openly assaulted. The core principles of representative republican freedom and self-governance is a target, as are people who openly espouse them. This is not a symptom of Washington per se, but of a growing element that some people in Washington are fomenting. The right side of the aisle has been nothing but anemic, not like some of the metaphorical Molotov cocktail-throwers that are an ever-growing segment of the left.

Virtually all the violence has come from the Left, exactly opposite of we were all told about Trump enabling violent racists.

 

I'm beginning to wonder if Trump knew about the emails before he decded to run. He seems to anticipate every eventuality.

 

 

 

 

Is anyone else concerned for Trump's safety?

I was referring to the rise in fascism in this country overall. It didn't start this election cycle, what we're seeing now is the snowball that started rolling down that slippery slope way back in 2001 is really picking up speed and size.

 

People are angry on both sides, the tribalism is off the charts -- I've been speculating for months that's largely been by design. A divided population is easier to control, an impassioned one is even easier to distract. For 15 years numerous institutions have been overtly dousing the populace with kerosene in the form of multiple wars, a great recession, the implosion of the fourth estate in favor of infotainment passed off as journalism, and the erosion of several core constitutional protections.

 

As a country we're less informed despite having more access to information than ever before in human history. We're hyper-partisianized thanks to the example set by both sides of the aisle ever since Newt made it his mission to put party above country back in the 90s. And now we're all interconnected in such a way that virtual lynch mobs employing mob-rule and capable of destroying people's lives are able to be deployed in ways that'd make Machiavelli envious.

 

This election cycle didn't spontaneously mutate any one ideology... it just lit a match.

Okay, that helped me to understand your point. Cheers. :beer:

 

 

That being said, I do not see anything coming from the right that compares with what I see from the left with regard to intolerance and violence in promoting an ideal. The only thing that makes it easier for the leftist firebrands to justify their violence is the fact that the republican nominee is a loudmouth capitalist with boorish tendencies. A Trump for President sign in a yard somehow validates vandalism. You don't see Hillary supporters on youtube being threatened or attacked, while the reverse is becoming commonplace.

 

I'm not talking about what comes out of Washington, or what either political party has adopted as part of their platforms. I'm talking about the ever-increasing rank & file on the left that seems to think that their way is the only way, and that the perceived righteousness of their position justifies the open disrespect and violence shown towards those that oppose them.

 

They do not care about the constitution, they do not respect true diversity, and they are anathema to true American values. They need to be shut down at every opportunity and exposed as the fascists that they are.

So Libs, we're not worried about de-legitimatizing the foundational systems of our democracy any more, I guess.

 

 

 

And Harry Reid wants Comey prosecuted for violating the Hatch Act, now.

Someone on Twitter likewise commented that Reid says Comey is sitting on bombshell evidence that Trump colludes with the Russians.

 

I'm going to miss Harry Reid. Once he's gone, the left will have to get its comedy from a guy who worries that Guam will tip over because too many people are on it.

Harry .........that paragon of virtue, in 2015, about his lie on the Senate floor regarding Mitt's Taxes.

 

“I don’t regret that at all,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash on Tuesday in the interview clip above. “Romney didn’t win did he?”

So now the DNC, Hilary's Campaign Committee, the Main Stream Media are all attempting to obstruct the investigation of a criminal matter.

Throw 'em all in the clink.
