What about the “alt left”? No, nothing to see there, never mind...

Excellent posts!

The main theme: as the left tries to use “ALT-Right” in the pejorative, reject their claims of racism, but keep the term to unify and name who we are!

Maybe let’s use “GALT-RIGHT”

So, Clinton is going to go all “vast right wing conspiracy” again.

It's pretty much the VRWC re-packaged and re-branded.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Hillary Clinton is set to deliver an entire speech on Donald Trump’s scary connections to a phenomenon known as the “alt right.”

Most of her followers are going to search their keyboards for Alt-right.

What most of us believe is essentially constitutionalism, classic liberalism with a Judeo-Christian foundation.

The Left will try to associate that with skin color in order to drive a wedge and create a barrier against it; if you aren’t white, to accept these principles would make you a race traitor; if you are white then accepting these principles prove your racism.

Its a propaganda game.

I believe in a certain set of principles, not to mention the Living God himself. If you believe in those principles, you are my brother whatever color you are. If you don’t accept them, then we are not on the same page whatever color you are. Making this about race helps any and all to avoid dealing with the actual principles themselves which are accessible to anyone willing to use his “right reason”.

Like the Tea Party, the alt-right includes anybody who considers himself so. Anybody who is fed up with establishment Republicans. Anybody who is fed up with “mainstream” conservatism like National Review.

The Tea Party was nice. The Tea Party was polite. The Tea Party attempted to be reasonable. The Tea Party was back-stabbed by it's allies (Mitch McConnell et al) and attacked relentlessly by the Media and the Left. (Same thing.)

It looks to me like the alt-right is the more vicious and confrontational response to the failures of the Tea Party to Accomplish anything.

Glenn Reynolds of "Instapundit" points out that we tried "nice" with Romney, and that didn't work, so now we are going to try mean with Trump, and see if that works.

If *that* doesn't work, we may have to escalate our methods of dealing with the leftists who monopolize the airwaves, and through them public policy.

As Glenn Reynolds has mentioned: "If you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable."

The left needs to consider the "Alt-Right" as a shot across their bow.

So, how have I never heard about this ‘thing’? I suspect that most here haven’t, either.

-JT

I've only heard this term "Alt-Right" within the last few months or so.

It's sort of looks like the meaner more serious/determined version of the "Tea Party."

I'm not liking what I hear about it's flirtations with Anti-Semitism or Racism, but I am starting to pay attention more to what these people seem to be about.

not too bad.
I, personally, would replace #14 with ‘Preservation and promotion of Western Civilization’

The new version of the “ultra violent dangerous Tea Party”.

This is what I was thinking.

The speech isn’t for the audience. It’s to give a few soundbites for the media to obsess over for the next week.

One sound bite on this morning is that Trump is bringing a hate group mainstream. So now if I support Trump am I part of a "hate" group? This needs to backfire big time on her imo!

On the down side, that freedom attracts an odd crowd to the comments board. While the stable of authors (at least one of whom is Jewish) are mostly at least skeptical of the place Israel holds among US conservatives, a significant number of those who comment at the site are frankly anti-Semitic, and a similar number openly express white supremacist views. Those folks really have a disdain for neo-conservatives (whom they see as Jewish infiltrators) and “cuckservatives” (essentially squishes on the right).

This is the feeling I have been getting from looking at articles posted on "Takimag". There are several other sites that I have noticed (usually through links with each other) that seem to be following this flavor.

I've actually been thinking of posting comments on some of these sites declaring support for Israel and shaming people for promulgating those stupid "Jewish Conspiracy" theories.

There’s a fine line there - IMO authors like MciInness, Goad, and Shaidle spit in the eye of political correctness without crossing the line into outright craziness, but that’s not the case for lots of those who comment there - they provide a view into the scary side of “alt right”.

I haven't been looking at any of these sites long enough to recognize any names. Still trying to figure out exactly what they are, and what sort of engagement (if any) that I want to have with them.

I had originally noticed "Takimag" because I found a John Derbyeshire (Fired from National Revue for writing "The Talk") there. John Derbyeshire had made the mistake of telling some ugly truths and he thereafter became the victim of political correctness.

I have seen ZERO evidence of anti semetism.

I have seen some. Often it is crouched in code words, dog whistles and a focus on certain events and issues.

I haven't seen it from any of the Authors of articles, but from the commenters, yes.

If you don't accept liberal lunacy...you might be an Alt-Right.
Hillary will most certainly umbrella anyone that doesn't accept her or The Establishment as Alt-Right (except for those 'cute' Berner-Socialists ;/)
I'm Alt-Right-Lite, I don't like the deep cellar-dwellers of Alt-Right but much of what they are fighting we all here fight too.

What Is The Alt Right?

As opposed to Fascist Democrat? They can make up all the words they want but it remains they are Fascists and they prove it every day in every way.

Are they gonna super glue the bottom of her shoes to keep her upright or will this be a sit-down speech?

For some reason, I am thinking of the stands they used in Victorian times to prop up dead bodies for photographs. This is probably because I saw a picture where someone was standing on either side of Hillary, seemingly holding her up.
