Well of course it’s ridiculous....I expect nothing less from the left. They are all about twisting and manipulating anything and everything to attain the “perception” they want seen and heard to the masses..... They are always masquerading behind something else.

BTW.... Welcome to FR.

You should agree and respond with :

"exploitin' the workers -- by 'hanging' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and' social differences in our society! .."

Welcome to FR.

But when white people assert themselves, it's patriotic. When black people assert themselves, they're thugs. They're criminals. They're rioters.

This isn't a matter of "asserting yourself." Those jerks in the streets of Baltimordor Monday were having the time of their lives.

The writer speaketh excrement. And that is as nice as I can put it.

Nice that fighting for their rights and standing up against oppression happened to endow some of them with a new wide screen TV, new Nike shoes, or whatever else — free of charge. I remember back when it was a crime to steal. Now I guess it is just free speech?

I've not once heard a conservative wish that the colonists, who felt they were not represented fairly by the ruling government, had instead held peaceful protests in order that parliament would itself implement changes on behalf of the colonists.

This is full blown hypocrisy.

This ignorant bloviator has never once heard a conservative wish that the colonists, who felt they were not represented fairly by the ruling government, had instead held peaceful protests in order that parliament would itself implement changes on behalf of the colonists. That is because educated Americans (i.e., conservatives) know that the colonists held months of peaceful protests over taxation without representation in the Tea Acts of 1773. In every colony except Massachusetts, peaceful protests led to the return of the taxed tea to England. In Massachusetts, Governor Hutchinson refused to return the tea because his sons would have profited from the shipment.

This is full blown ignorance from a liberal. Again.

I knew Jon Cole personally when I was in school. I graduated from Arizona State University with him in 1969. I had several classes with him and he used to come by wrestling practice after classes to work out with us on the wrestling team.

He was world-class powerlifter, Olympic weightlifter and all-around strongman. He also held the shot put and discus throwing records at ASU in the mid-60's. He was a versatile athlete, holding the distinction of being the only person in the world to win two AAU national titles is two sports, powerlifting and track and field.

He ran the 100 yard dash at an ASU track meet in 1969 at 258 lbs., in 9.9 seconds He threw a javelin 281 ft. in an AAU track meet in 1968, the discus 231 ft. and the shot put over 71 ft. at an AAU meet in 1972. He was documented and verified to have thrown a baseball 435 ft and placed kicked a football 68 yards in 1967 at ASU.

I lost track of Jon after school when I went into the Air Force. I heard from some school classmates that he passed away in 2013. He was the best all-around athlete in individual sports there was in the 1960s and 70s.

thanks for warm welcome. I will try to dig up the guy that wrote it. But it was a Facebook post that was being circulated like dogma. I thought you creepers would enjoy the read. You have to hand it to the leftist activists. They are very creative in twisting facts to paint the picture they want shown. Its really sucks that they are changing the perception of police and rich people. And the Demecrats ability to capitalize on this divisiveness is even more frustrating. Punish the rich and reward failure might as well be their slogan.

I located him on FB. He is a white guy from Athens, GA with hipster features. He goes on to excuse the actions of the few violent protesters in a comment:
“Also, to be fair, the violent protestors are the minority of the protestors... I don’t mean to paint the entire protest as violent. I was mostly responding to something I heard on Sean Hannity’s radio program yesterday & the general hypocrisy/unwillingness to understand that I see mostly coming from conservatives.

But even though the violent protestors are the minority & even though the violence may have been sparked by folks with ulterior motives, as Martin Luther King said, rioting is the language of the unheard, & this is no less true today than it was in 1773. To condemn the rioting is to condone the conditions that have created a widespread feeling of helplessness in Baltimore, & if the peaceful protests go unheard, the violence is then justified. So it’s up to those in charge to make the violent protests unnecessary by listening & responding to the people the Baltimore, & the people elsewhere who empathize with the protestors. And it’s up to us to vote in politicians who will respond.”

Our bill of rights says that all men were created equal

Damn - the guy didn't even make it through the second sentence. Our bill of rights says nothing of the sort. The Declaration of Independence does.

Black cops, black city council, black mayor. Whatever the rioters in Baltimore are protesting, it isn't lack of representation.

You want to declare independence? By all means, do it! Please! No more depending on the white man for your food, your shelter, your income, your enfranchisement ... GO! Found your own independent country and leave mine the F-— alone!

Unfortunately, I think the Jon Cole I knew, who’s picture you posted, is not the same Jon Cole who wrote this article He died in 2013 and the article was written in 2015.

Once and for all, the TEA Party is NOT named for the Boston Tea Party. It is the Taxed Enough Already MOVEMENT. We are NOT a political party (not yet, anyway and certainly not part of the Uniparty).

Allowing Liberals to continue this mischaracterization is as bad as they doing it.
