Your comments as to rioting in the streets is disturbing. We should all just shut up in case some fools take to rioting?

I’d say America needs a refresher on its history. In 1776 there were 56 men who were willing to risk their “lives, .. wealth and sacred honor” to commit the treasonous act of simply signing their names on a document addressed to an autocratic ruler, and also to confront the then most powerful military in the world.

In the ensuing war, most of them DID lose their fortunes, many lost their lives or family members’ lives, but none ever lost his sacred honor. Today we are hard pressed to find 56 public men who have ‘sacred honor’ to sacrifice. Nor do we have any Thomas Paines or Patrick Henrys.

We’ve become an ill-educated nation with no backbone if we are intimidated by street mobs. If that is the case, all that sacrifice, and the sacrifice for generations since is for naught.

[We’ve become an ill-educated nation with no backbone if we are intimidated by street mobs...]

I absolutely agree with your statement that we have become an ill-educated nation but I think we still have the backbone to fight for our Republic.

But, I believe, since the installation of this current regime, they would welcome street riots, in fact, they may be just counting on it. It has gathered an army of professional protesters who do not fear spilling blood in the streets to achieve their goal.

My question to you is, what action do you think this president could take once the rioting starts and blood is running in the streets?
