Liberals believe your civil rights end when they don’t like you

I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The media has lost its collective mind. Mass insanity reigns.CBS This Morning opened with their senior journalist Steven Colbert and followed up with legendary reporter Jimmy Kimmel, all in ridiculing Donald Trump.  The media has a full court press on for Trump and is utterly ignoring ethics, principle and the Constitution.

Let's look at Trump's initial reaction to Charlottesville, for which he was widely derided:

"But we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Va.. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.

"I just got off the phone with the governor of Virginia, Terry Mcauliffe, and we agree that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now. We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true -- really, I say this so strongly, true affection for each other."

I am not seeing much wrong with it. But that wasn't enough. Trump did not express the pure hate the left demanded. So they've decided to rain hatred down on him.

CBS News (again) ran an analysis. It determined that the two sides were not "equal." Trump never said they were.

ABC News posts:

Trump blames counter-protesters for Charlottesville violence, hundreds protest in Loop

It's a lie. An outright lie.

CNN, home of fake news, ran article citing the most shocking things coming from Trump's conference.

2. On whether the attack that killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville was 'terrorism'

Ever see CNN get this bent when obama wouldn't call killing 4 Marines and a sailor terrorism?

5. On how he viewed the weekend violence and who was responsible

Both sides bear responsibility. Who forced the counter protesters to get in the faces of the supremacists? Trump?

7. Echoing the right-wing argument against removing Confederate monuments

Trump asked- where does it stop? It is a fair question.

9. On who was to blame for the violence

Both sides bear responsibility. That is not in question. All these were found "shocking" by CNN without even attempting to include facts because it would interfere with the narrative. For a smattering of perspectives, you can read this article.

The Charlottesville police chief proved himself to be a fool  when defended his actions- or rather, his lack of action.

The most disturbing thing I've run into over the last couple of days is the willingness of the left to suspend the civil rights of those they find repugnant. I've been called a racist and a supporter of the Neo-Nazis- all the things you'd expect from the left- all because the one thing I support is the Constitution.

I am a Constitutionalist. I am principled. I was trying to debate this with liberals today. This is how it went down today:

Me: Do you agree that this violence could have been avoided if the two sides were kept separate?

Them: You're a racist.

Me: Unite the Right had been given permission to hold a rally in Emancipation Park. The counter protesters did not.

Them: You're a racist.

Them: Funny John, even in that photo seems one side is the clear aggressor and armed, the other just looking to keep from getting beaten.

Me:  If they're looking to keep from being beaten, WTF are they there getting in the faces of the supremacists?

Them: John... I usually don't ask people this straight out.... but are you a racist?

the left & wapo give a false narrative.

the left did have permits( McGuffey Park and Justice Park). Just not for the same place as the right (Emancipation Park).

Plus this:

"Charlottesville spokeswoman Miriam I. Dickler told Moyer that only one permit was issued for Emancipation Park — the one received by white nationalists staging the “Unite the Right” rally. However, counter-protesters did not need permits to protest that rally, she said.

“Please bear in mind that people do not need a permit to enter a public park, even when another event is scheduled to take place there, nor are they required to have one to be on streets or sidewalks adjacent to or outside the park,” Dickler said in an email."

Except, the cops declared an illegal assembly before the protest start time...so nobody had permits.... but who cares, based on Dickler's statement, none was needed.

These people are all bat spit craxy....

Let the rallying cry of the rabid Democrat be “Terrorism for liberty!”

“Liberals believe your civil rights end when they don’t like you”

---

LEFTISTS believe your civil rights end when they don’t like you - there, fixed it.

Anyhow, my family unfortunately has a bunch of experience with Leftists (the Russian and the German varieties), and I know the proper response - be armed and ready to use those arms to defend yourself, your family and your property.

My father’s paternal grandfather had a water delivery business (pre-plumbing, at least in Russia) with dozens of carts and horses. Over the years, he saved enough money to build 14 houses - with his and his sons’ bare hands doing most of the labor. The Communists came, and took it all. He and my GGM had to share their house with 3 other families. Come 1937, the MFers in the NKVD dragged my GGF into prison and beat him (at age 74) so badly that he succumbed to his injuries shortly after they let him out. What kind of f’ing animals beat an old, broken man? What kind of threat is someone like that to anyone?

My family also has experience, being Jewish, with another type of Leftist, the nationalist German flavor. On my mother’s side, my grandparents counted up about 100 people that no one ever heard from - or about - again.

So I have not one single atom of sympathy in my body or mind for Leftists or what they stand for. The lessons of History for my family are to be well armed, well trained in their use, and ready to defend yourself against these demons in human form. At least then you can take some of the bastards with you.
