Put the shoe on the other foot. What if some conservative had tried to shoot Democrat legislators?
A friend | 14 June 2017 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

A good friend just asked me this morning, "What would have happened if a conservative were to have tried to shoot Democrat legislators?" He went on to say that all hell would have broken loose in the media and across the country. Conservatives, however, have not had violent, in-the-street demonstrations and calls for reprisal.

Democrats shooting Republicans has been “normal” since 1865.

Conservatives like the law.
Conservatives are civilized.
Conservatives believe in God.

The press isn’t outraged because they secretly wished the shooter had killed all the Republicans. They are the haters that have created the climate that supports this type of violence.

The real difference is that if it had been the Democrat team practice, the media would be non-stop, relentlessly running the angles etcetera. There will be some mention of it now, since it plays into the constant gun confiscation and anti-2nd themes, but not like if it was Democrats.

Moot point. Conservatives don’t do such things.................

Of course. The POINT was, what would the reaction be? It would be FAR different than what is happening today.

I saw that already mentioned on Little Georgie’s show. Amazing in their consistency regardless of the facts.

Conservatives are too busy “turning the other cheek”, lambasting other conservatives for not being “conservative” enough, and are too busy groveling at the feet of the progressive socialist-democrats and their MSM lackeys to “like” them, and not say meen things about the wussy conservatives.

As this POS who shot up a baseball game today shows, conservatives just want to “get along”, while the progressive socialist-democrats and their MSM lackeys want the conservatives to “get dead”.

What part of socialist revolutionary uprising don’t you conservatives seem to understand???

>>Where is the outrage?

Per Cultural Marxist doctrine outrage, like pride, is reserved for The Cause(tm)'s officially designated oppressed and protected classes of the week.

"spiritual", tolerant opinion

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare.
 
What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.

“Blame the assault rifle. Don’t blame the victim of PTSD holding the gun. He also is a victim of our gun crazy system.” Did I beat anyone on the left to talking point?

Great point.

Reminds me of the poster that says “Conservatives have over 250 million guns and over 12 trillion rounds of ammo. If we were violent and dangerous, you’d know it by now.”

Don’t worry.

I am sure the old media will drag through the shooter’s past writings/postings, and found ‘tea party’ in some of them, egos, the white shooter is/was a tea party member.

If the framing doesn’t fool the public, they will scream Gun Control instead. All their bases are covered.

Important facts to remember:

25% of liberals are being treated for mental disorders.

That’s frightening, but not as frightening as the thought that the other 75% are running loose without treatment.

......Yet.

There, I finished the sentence for you. :-)

It will take a clear, unmistakeable trigger, but at some point conservatives will find their backs against the wall. That's when it will really start to get interesting.

The violent Left has lost one of its own today. Good! It is a start.

That is why political violence by conservatives is basically unheard of.
