I agree with you about McAulife who is as low as they come.

But I don’t care what he thinks or wants to do, these neo-pagan Nazi-wannabe losers have nothing to do with me or conservatism.

Personally, I think it’s a good thing the left continues to cast this as Alt-Right, Nazi etc.

Because White people watch and wonder: Why do they look like average White people, and why is everyone calling them Nazi’s for wanting to protect their heritage?

The racist left has crossed the Rubicon with their incessant, and unwarranted accusations. Now every White person in the country is awakening to the fact everyone else is in a war against White people and culture.

What Gov. McAuliffe is really saying is that unapproved ideas have no place in America. Obviously the ideas that might have been presented by some of the marchers are idiotic, and not representative of the beliefs of any but a tiny minority of Americans.

But our nation is based on the idea that people are free to hold beliefs and express their ideas that the majority rejects. And they should be able to do so without being attacked by other people who disagree with them. Nobody has to accept their ideas, but the state is still obliged to protect people with unpopular or even idiotic ideas from violence.

In many cases ideas which we all hold today were once very unpopular, and yet their proponents were able to march, or hold rallies without their opponents being able to silence them through violence.

Silencing unpopular, bad, and downright stupid ideas doesn't make the ideas go away, or those who believe in them realize that their beliefs are wrong. A nation where the only ideas that can be expressed are those approved by the group most likely to cause violence will rapidly descend into chaos and may well lead to the ascent of the very kind of evil and dumb ideas that are espoused by radical groups on the left, the right, and from the Middle East.

Although I too reject their idiotic ideas, they have a lot in common with conservatives, Republicans, and other Americans when it comes to how the left, and the leftist mayors and other politicians treat them. Just like the police in San Jose allowed radical ANTIFA leftists to attack peaceful attendees at a Trump rally, Gov. McAuliff, the mayor of Charlottesville, and the Charlottesville police enabled the violent confrontations that lead to the injuries and loss of lives this weekend.

Instead of preventing the radical leftists from attacking the radical rightist march, the state and local government set up conditions likely to cause strife, and did not defend the rights of the radical rightists to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. The ultimate outcome included the loss of lives and serious injuries.

Had the leftists, and the local government simply allowed the neo-Nazi types to march around and have some speeches nobody would have been injured, and everyone would have been able to see their ideas for themselves, and realize how idiotic they were.

Gov. McAuliffe and the other Charlottesville politicians and police have shown that no one can safely present ideas that are not approved by the left in a public space there. We've seen similar situations in Berkeley California where conservative speakers can't give a speech. Being unable to safely present ideas or support candidates that the radical left do not approve of affects all of us.

We are in a situation where nobody can publicly present ideas safely unless they are approved of by the radical left, something directly in opposition to the principles of free speech. There is no place in America for that kind of behavior.

Not really.

Your point of the extremist anti-white rhetoric of the left is true. And that they aren’t called on it by the mainstream is another double standard.

Yes. That was horrible. The leftist MSM ignores that, ignores actuall assassination attempts by democrats on GOP congressmen.

I learned something recently that the people at the Trump rallys who were violent against anti-Trump protestors who went to the rally’s were these same people who organized this Virginia event.

Not surprising to me.

All they do is delegitimize Trump and make him look bad in the eyes of people who can be fooled.

And they aren’t conservative. They are socialist pagans.

The group I refer to has “Workers Party” in its name.

Yeah, they’re real conservative lol.

These guys and these rallies are gifts to the Democrat fund-raisers.

And I wonder how many are just counter-agents manipulating people.

You are absolutely right. The left are fascist plain and simple and unlike the psychos loser neo-klan types, the left have power and are not out of the mainstream.
