This is one of the best articles I’ve read, definitely the best at nailing what these riots, etc., by the left are REALLY all about.

Agree with the author 100%.

Another tenet of the left is that they think America is evil and hate everything it stands for and everything that made it great. They seek to wipe out U.S. history, negate the Constitution and remake this nation into a socialist dystopia.

Kaepernick was a symptom of this sickness. Patriotic people stood up against this disrespect when they voted Trump.

Doubtful. A lot of Trump votes didn't get counted. And a lot of HRC's votes got counted twice ... or more.

In any case, look at the red/blue election map. Yeah, there are pockets of communists and idiots scattered here and there, but not all of them are rioting. And there are yuge tracts of the country where there's nary a liberal to be found, your own great state among them.

So cheer up. We have them on the run. And now it's time to crush them.

This is why all of the excesses of these demonstrations—death threats, looting, violence—can be excused by CNN and MSNBC: They are the necessary extreme measures, justified in light of the threat to their ideology.

Perhaps, we the people, should teach the news media and these liberals a lesson on inciting violence and demonstrations.

This could be simply done by placing “TRUMP” bumper stickers
on protesters vehicles. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Leftists are great propagandists. They can raise a crowd and start a riot. Wat they cannot do is govern. When leftists come to power they fail utterly. They are a negative, hostile force in society. They have no beliefs, only anger.

I suspect that a lot of them really believed they were going to get “Free College”.

“immanentizing the Eschaton,” an exotic expression which, when properly parsed, just means viewing this world as all there is, and, therefore, the ultimate thing.”

More specifically, it means trying to bring about a Nirvana like state of existence in this world rather than waiting for the afterlife. Very popular among Marxists & atheists who believe in nothing else other than what they see.

Everything they are doing is right out of Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals.” Alinsky was a communist radical. They are trying to delegitimize the presidency of Donald Trump. They did this for eight years against George Bush and he did not push back and thus they were very successful.

Once Trump is president he will not push back the next day. He will push back the same day. Even today his spokesmen and spokeswomen are pushing back. Once president he also will. Right now he is busy forming his new government.

ps
The Main Stream Media is the enemy of the Republic of the United States. They are left wing globalists. They are the enemy.

> A very insightful article.

Actually it is. It makes you understand that they have completely different world views. Almost as if they are from another planet or raised by Satan with completely different values themselves...: )

I think they’re ‘brainwashed’, and don’t have the intellectual integrity to realize it and get out of it.

I wonder what she meant by ‘no election to worry about after this is over’...

FTA: Ideology takes politics from its more natural subordinate position in cultural life and exalts it to the highest position.

When I am with my closest friends, we don't talk about politics very much because we have more important things to talk about (eg. Jesus, making disciples and apologetics). But my non-Christian liberal sisters talk about politics all the time, since that is functionally their religion. They have no higher cause. Creating a liberal "heaven on earth" utopia is their greatest hope. Sad.

Given the most recent left statist meltdown, I thought this timeless classic could use a bump.
