Seeing the Chicago Rally with a fresh perspective:
On 9-11-01 most of the passengers in the commercial jets cooperated with terrorists. Why? Political correctness dictated that they do so. Who turned out to be right?
The passengers of United 93 -- this century's first stark example of patriotic courage.
At the Chicago rally most of the Trump supporters avoided confrontations. Who turned out to be right?
In that case there was NO WAY that any patriotic civilian could do the right thing. The law plays favorites against patriotism, especially in thuggish hellholes like Chicago.
So sure, a man could keep his pride and defend women and children from thuggish vulgarity and intimidation tactics, but true chivalry leads to prison, fines, and legal fees.
If he has children? His chivalry destroys their lives.
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels: 'Whoever conquers the streets, conquers the state.'
Hitler sent his brown shirts out to the streets to demand submission to their politics.
Anti-patriots do the exact same thing. They send out their brown shirts to not only conquer the streets but to vulgarize and better yet -- suppress -- any political rally they are opposed to.
Trump had two choices:
1. A classic campaign that hides from the anti-patriots and look to Robot Romney as an exmple of how to avoid their temper tantrums.
2. A bold campaign that confronts anti-patriotism head-on.
Unlike Goebbels, Trump merely sought a chance to speak at his rallies, avoid lobbed tomatoes etc., and become an example of patriotic courage.
If anything, the Chicago Rally proved that Trump supporters are your typical law abiding citizens. A side of me is embarassed. They fled. They allowed themselves to be bullied.
Worst of all, I'm ashamed of myself. I had been part of that 'be civil and turn the cheek a hundred times' mantra. My attitute helped endanger the lives of those Trump supporters.
But then I remind myself that I'm not the problem. Our nation's Ruling Class and legal system are.
So patriots run away, hide, sometimes even grovel before the brown shirts while children watch. In the meantime never forget that being a Trump supporter is being a brown shirt, right?

[First hand account and reaction by bushwon ...]
I cannot tell you how angry I was to hear that quote from Ted on the news when I had just returned from the Chicago Rally ...
... and those people, the 200 that ambushed our car, hated me ... screamed at me and pounded on our windows because I was White ... and I was exiting a parking garage next to a trump Rally...I had no bumper stickers, no buttons, and no beef with these rent-a-thugs ...
They believed they had a right to hate whether based in reality or not...just like protesters in Ferguson.
Ted, on the other hand, sought sanctuary in the safety of a suburban fundraiser, with $120+ dinners...
So easy for Ted to come out and make outrageous smug statements...he did not have the guts to hold an open, free rally in Chicago...and now he states it is Trump's fault that mobsters want to squash Trump's speech because it is not PC. Some 'Constitutionalist' coward Cruz is! Shame on Ted!!!!!!!!!

'Police say at least five people, including a CBS News Reporter were arrested [at the rally]. A Chicago police spokesman said Illinois State Police arrested CBS's Sopan Deb. CBS said 'In the midst of reporting on this event, CBS News' Sopan Deb was detained by law enforcement.'

In St. Louis this featured at least one man stomping a flag while wearing a '**** the police' t-shirt.
In Chicago there were many Mexican flags flown, including some being worn as clothing, among the crowd, panned across repeatedly on live TV. There were hoards of people who swarmed the parking garage, smashing car windows. And who else was there, probably instigating it all?
Former leader of the Weather Underground (that's a domestic terrorist organization that actually set off bombs at the Capitol, the Department of State and the Pentagon along with blowing up a statue in Chicago and committing arson in New York City) Bill Ayres.
Obama literally began his political career in Ayres living room. [links provided at the article].

Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels: 'Whoever conquers the streets, conquers the state.'
I hadn't heard this particular Goebbels quote, but it is an important one, well understood by the Nazis and the Bolsheviks.
When the chips are down, you find out who your friends really are. The GOPe has failed the test — once again. It folds like the house of cards it is.
You are correct. Previous highjackings had shown that the best chance of survival lay in cooperation, so the passengers’ cooperation was rooted in pragmatism, not political correctness.
As for United 93, I recall hearing that the passengers had learned what happened to the other highjacked planes, so they were faced with the certainty of death unless they did something. I respect their bravery, but I think it was motivated by desperation rather than patriotism.
Thanks :)
Did that plank finally fall from your eye? Did you trip over it?
International business wants and domestic politics do not coexist very well. Multi national business gloBULList Cheap Labor Express types shouldn’t have place in any political party. The corruption factor is way too high. They should exist outside the political sphere and stay in the economic realm exclusivity.
I would never begin to judge someone in their last minutes when they know absolutely they will die a horrific death. I think it is absurd to parse whether it was patriotism or desperation. I would not wish that scenario on my worst enemy. It is easy to be an armchair hero. I cannot fathom the horror they went thru.
As a peasant, you could be prosecuted for interfering with a hijacking.
As I posted before, peasants could be prosecuted for interfering with a hijacking.
Interesting.
And interesting name. Black Adder is my hero.
Oh, BTW, I also really like Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson is a comic genius.
‘Otherwise, he was insanely lucky.’
I think he simply adopted an overall strategy. Bring on the flak, and if you survive then you become the leader, the battleship which everyone rallies to [other than partizan faithfuls].
English lawn enforcement uses ear recognition software. It’s as good as a finerprint and more useful in this digital age.
And people who cover their ears all the time help ‘out’ themselves.
Not ‘English lawn enforcement’. Maybe ‘Scotland Yar’?’
‘Passengers cooperated because previous highjackings resulted in detours, inconvenient delays and eventual release, if you cooperate and don’t try to be a hero.’
Some considered that dangerous even before 9-11.
‘Interesting article ...’
Thank you. And I respect your disagreement on that one point, BTW.
‘I personally don’t believe that the GOP can ever be reformed.’
The root problem is that there’s not enough ‘starboard’ in the port-veering education system.
‘The Best read all Month!’
One of the best compliments this year!
Means a lot.
I’ve noticed that other people who work a lot harder than me receive scant praise. But I bet you comliment them too now and then.
