Progressives openly signaling the arrival of political violence as a tactic to obtain power
americanthinker.com ^ | 5/15/2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 05/15/2017 6:17:16 AM PDT by rktman

The message is being sent out loud and clear: the American Left is moving toward violence as a tactic in its quest to grab the political power to which it believes it is entitled. John Daniel Davidson is absolutely correct in his observation that the “The American Left is talking itself into Violence.” He cites a lot of examples. Here is a sample:

Jennifer Carnahan, the new chairwoman of the Minnesota Republican Party, received a torrent of racist hate mail and at least one threat of physical violence that forced her from her home for a weekend. Carnahan, who is Korean-American, was targeted after publically apologizing and calling for the resignation of those responsible for an offensive image posted to the 7th Congressional District Republicans Facebook page.

It didn’t matter that Carnahan didn’t post the image, or that she did everything right. The folks sending the hate mail called her racist, and threw a few racial epithets directly at her for good measure.

Uh, this is nothing new. Just ask billy boy and bernadine and their ilk from the '60's/early '70's. They even state it in the weatherunderground's "PrairieFire" about thousands needing to die to fulfill their goals. Oh, and re-education camps as well. I think they are currently called universities and colleges now days. The absurdity is that for the most part NONE of these assclowns would know what oppression and hard times are if it smacked them in the face. Some of them whine about which bathroom they get to use. Bathroom. Hello, you're lucky you have a friggin' bathroom. FIDIOTS!

I’ve been reading a book about the vigilantes.

Interesting concept.

And the Obama Admin took over so many local Police Departments and neutered them, the police back off now, when a protected minority is breaking the law. This will not end well for those who think they are entitled to break the Law. (At least, that is my prayer)

This time around leftist violence will be met with greater violence. There are millions of patriots itching to end the plague of leftist influence.

The radical left and Democrats are now engaging in guerrilla politics. This is another slippery slope that will only get worse and threaten what’s left of our republic.

Just as is the article from which he cites, this is pretty weak stuff. Lifson, a very astute observer, is noticing the obvious, though

When government reneges on one of the central provisions of the social contract—ensuring the rights and safety of all citizens—government loses its authority and citizens are no longer bound by the contract.

A civil war, conducted with extreme prejudice against the leftists (Rwanda-style, house to house, with no prisoners taken nor surrenders on any scale accepted) is probably the only thing that can ultimately save our republic.

"...the American Left is moving toward violence as a tactic..."

Are the Democrats threatening to once again fire on Fort Sumter?

“Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed”

It’s the same thing you said, and two centuries ago it was costly for the totalitarians to be forced to accept freedom. I hope they will back off this time around before it gets ugly.

But why? Lawrence Tribe says he can be impeached and Ann Skeletor Coulter says he is a failure. But wait maybe Skeletor will join Larry’s impeachment team. Such silly crap.

I agree...what is new is that the right is starting to fight back.
