Good post, well said!

What is different now from then is the presence of an armed population. Never, never give up your guns.

Worth repeating BUMP!

[jazusamo]

Makes no sense to me either.

“Protesters” who in fact intend to riot wear masks or gas masks, helmets and various types body armor. They carry signs and flags of different sorts on oversize poles they use for clubs.

Some Mayors like the scum mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland, OR actually endorse leftist groups and tell police to stand down.

Wheeler and those like him should be tarred, feathered and run out on a rail.

Can you post your comment without taking the Lord’s name in vain. And changing the spelling doesn’t change your intent.

From the article: "The TMZ interviewer pointed out that there are right-wing activists like the Proud Boys who have engaged in violent protest."

The standard leftist response: "Both sides are equally bad. Nothing to see here. Move on, people."

Let's summarize:

• On the one hand we have dozens of cases of top GOP elected officials and high White House officials being hounded & harassed out of public places, egged on publicly by prominent political figures like MadMaxine, HRC & Holder, not to mention by numerous prominent "entertainers". We have dozens if not hundreds of cases of well-known conservative speakers on campuses being attacked by Antifa and their ilk. We have hundreds of cases of attacks against lower-level targets - whether local GOP HQ's smashed up & vandalized, or people committing the unforgivable sin of wearing a MAGA hat while exiting a Trump rally who are attacked by "The Resistance," or peaceful Pro-Life demonstrators violently attacked with their signs being destroyed and their own bodies being assaulted.
• And here on the other side of the scales, we have exactly one alt-right nutjob who drove his car into a crowd in Charlottesville - killing 1 and injuring others, plus maybe a half dozen cases of Antifa vs Proud Boy street brawls, for which MSM outlets like the NYT report that, "it's unclear who started it" ... which probably means that the grainy videos show Antifa throwing something first but Antifa claims the PB's threw first yet it somehow wasn't captured on video, rendering it "unclear who".
• And so the entire MSM, like this TMZ reporter, claim "There are two sides to every story; both sides here are equally at fault for violence & harassment".

You know, I'll bet it wouldn't be hard to dig thru old photo archives of the early 1930s and find at least *one* photo of one of Rohm's Brown Shirts who got his nose bloodied by a Jewish youth fighting back in the very early days before Kristallnacht.

Applying the standards of today's MSM, that photo alone could be used to justify a claim of, "Hey, there are two sides to the Holocaust. Both sides were equally at fault".

I'd not be surprised if the left writes a song commemorating the woman who died of vehicular assault at Charlottesville. It would parallel what the brownshirts did, singing their "Horst Wessel" hymn about one of their own who was killed by a Communist or Socialist gang in one of the frequent street brawls preceding the Nazi takeover, belting out that song at the top of their lungs in torch-lit marches and beer halls, as if this one single death justified every act of violence they committed against their political enemies and the Jews.

“Of course. It is how all dictators start.”

I think you mean dictatorship but either way, the one critical element the left is missing right now is...well...the dictator

once the left can find a true leader with charisma and a truly cruel heart.....then they will forcefully try to implement their agenda.

Obama was one of their attempts.....he was too lazy
now they try hoisting Ocasia-Cortez or whatever her name is but she is just tooo stupid.....

the dems keep trying to hoist someone onto the pedestal and it keeps failing...we need to be careful for the one who tries to climb the pedestal themselves—

History repeats. Who would have thought it would happen here in America so soon after WWII? Maybe in 200-300 years but not less than 100!

Gavin McInnes group?

Oh pshaw ....

“What was it about that those types? Couldn’t they strike up a relationship with a woman? Lack of communications skills I wonder?”

The Nazis at their bases on the moon and Antarctica were heavily into video games, too. ;-)

Yes, that is how the Nazis started out. They escalated into pushing, then punching, then stabbing people who didn't agree with them. See Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression which are all the documents filed during the Nurnberg trials in 1945. Look in the section of how the Nazis came to power.

1. Nazis threatened, assaulted or simply killed political enemies.
2. Nazis got complete control of the media. No newspapers were allowed in Germany unless you supported the party line.
3. The played all kinds of dirty tricks including voting on some new laws to give power to the Nazis while the rest of their congress was on vacation.
4. Nazis cancelled the Weimar constitution and replaced it with their own.

Each of these disgusting incidents--the Left's naked attempt to bully us into silence--are additional ammunition for those of us who adhere to the traditional decency of the political society of the Founding Fathers.

God Willing(!), we will take a major step in the restoration of America, two weeks from tomorrow!

Our Last Chance? [Can Donald Trump Revive The "Spirit of '76?]

[jazusamo]

Amen to that!

[Ohioan]

They also used the same techniques as the Antifa mobsters, to gain control of the German streets. The election in fifteen days may well determine if America goes down the same road. The 2018 Democratic Party has already done all they could to surrender our streets to those who would tear down our heritage.

Our right to a free future is the ultimate issue, next month.

Yeeep!

[griswold3]

The MSM would make that turkey a martyr for being attacked by Right Wingers!

Democrats = Dazis

I agree. In fact, I think our next civil war is going to erupt at the border when the Soros NPCs try to physically stop us from protecting the border from this caravan.

I think Soros wants a civil war. But he will be among the first to swing from a tree if it happens. He is not safe.
