The president’s coy rhetoric, dancing around these people for fear of alienating them, has to end. (I don’t expect it to end, but others on the Right need to speak up to condemn him.)

Dreher, practitionar par excellence.

The Left have gotten really comfortable bullying Whites, Conservatives, Christians, and Patriots.
When Obama was in office it was made patently clear that he would use the government to endorse that bullying.
The incredibly insane, monkey-poo flinging we are currently witnessing is a result of the bullies FINALLY getting punched in the nose.

Seems like Dreher is a practitioner of leftist doublespeak to me. Trump has condemned the radical rightists repeatedly. He hasn't "danced around" them at all. Trump just hasn't expressed the kind of faked outrage that the rest of the leftists, media, and the politically correct have.

What the leftists, and anti-free speech types want is for radical rightists to be denied the right to free speech. Some, like Senator Rubio have gone so far as to say violence against people expressing those unpopular ideas is acceptable.

But we either have free speech or we don't. Preserving the fundamental right of free speech is much more important than the annoyance of having to occasionally listen to someone spout stupid, repugnant ideas. If the radical left had just ignored the radical rightists in Charlottesville, then they would have had their march, a few people would have heard them, and it would have been over.

The violence never would have happened if the radical leftists hadn't decided to violently counter protest. And a young woman, who probably didn't support violence from either side wouldn't have lost her life.

Attacking Trump's statements based on false representations of what he said isn't something to admire.
