I agree it's unlawful and despicable. I just didn't wish it took a you lady on social media to finally speak out about it. I didn't hear a single peep by the left when it's happening, but as soon as someone speaks out about it, it becomes unlawful and despicable. I just wish you were more consistent. 

for goodness sake man just because a person doesnt post about each and every topic in a chat forum doesnt equal  an opinion one way or the other. come on....do I seem like the kind of person who is going to applaud vandalism destruction of property, looting, etc etc etc and Must I post my every thought and  displeasure to actually feel those are wrong?  Or post in every thread for that matter?  absolutely not.

Does anyone else feel like half the country's trippin on strong acid and demanding that the rest of us see their hallucinations?

Personally, I think avoiding Barr's investigation is what this media-crafted outrage is really all about. I know it sounds like a "conspiracy theory" but it's far less outlandish than accepting this s

Hoax.  I simply repeated a freshly-uttered Trumpism. I’m sorry to learn that you think the trumpism is weak, at that its utterer by extension also is weak.  This is a point on which we can agree: Trump is a low-energy, weak, sad loser.   I’m glad that after all of our discourse we found common ground on this important point! 

I believe we would find common ground on many things. Just not what you said. I'm a very reasonable person. I don't let politics run my life. I'm sure we would get along just fine if we met. ?

No, you do not seem like the type of person who would approve of such behavior. That's why I think you should speak up against it. You have a lot more credibility than tibs and his alts. Believe it or not, I actually respect your opinion. Your denouncement would go a long way in putting a stop to such despicable behavior.

lol be careful westside there are folks whom post here who will not like you thinking Im credible OR genuine. I'll try to be more evenly balanced in my posting and point out all inferences of a post like hers example of where I agree with her and disagree. I like that actually....point taken. Thanks I appreciate that I'll understand you better and in the future and  vice verse.

Suprise Suprise, twitter is still a ***** platform. 

 

But I thought Antifa was this nebulous at best organization with no real structure or way of identifying members?  How can there be a threat of harm against a group we've been told doesn't exist?

I posted something about this last week. THIS takes the cake.  They could have found out in 2 minutes with an internet search like I did.

 

I guess no one pushed it to them on Twitter or FakeBook.

 


 

They were educated in the public school system. Most of these idiots probably couldn’t spell their own names if it wasn’t pre-printed on the SOL’s.

This is for the lefties who are openly cheering the violence.  They will come for you too, morons.

 

Gotta love the headline though 

 

"Protesters allegedly attack state senator and topple statues outside Wisconsin State Capitol"

 

Quote

 

A short time later, the same group pulled down a statue of Col. Hans Christian Heg and threw it into a nearby lake, according to WKOW. Heg was a Norwegian immigrant and abolitionist who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He led the predominately-Scandinavian 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment into battle against the Confederate Army until his death at Chickamauga in 1863.

....

At some point during the night, WKOW's crew reportedly came across state Sen. Tim Carpenter who claimed he had been assaulted by protesters for taking a photo of them. Carpenter, a Democrat, then collapsed and the news crew called 911 for an ambulance. His condition was unknown, according to WKOW.

ABC News has reached out to Carpenter for comment as well as police.

In response to a WKOW reporter's post on Twitter, Carpenter tweeted Wednesday morning about the alleged incident, saying he was punched and kicked in the head, neck and ribs by several people.

I would post the link, but there is a paywall. Very good article.

 

Commentary

Decades in preparation, the future United States of America that the international Left intends to fashion is near to hand.

Since the arrival of the Frankfurt School of Marxist philosophers, cranks, crackpots, and creeps on our shores in the 1930s, the Enlightenment foundations of our nation have been under constant attack.

Wielding their pseudo-intellectual doctrine of Critical Theory as a battering ram, men like Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm, and Wilhelm Reich saw it as their duty to undermine every legal and social American institution, from the family, to traditional sexuality, to academe, pop culture, government, and even the military. Nothing was safe from their iniquitous inquisition.

At first, they seemed vaguely ridiculous, a bunch of nutty professors with Dr. Strangelove accents. But don’t be fooled.

Reich, a Freudian psychiatrist who often treated his patients in the nude, invented the “sexual revolution,” later popularized by Hugh Hefner in the pages of Playboy. His quack theories about sexuality were called “a fraud of the first magnitude” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and he died, intermittently psychotic, in federal prison in 1957.

Adorno, who had been a “modern music” composer and critic back in Germany, moved to Los Angeles and hated everything about it, including the weather.

Worst of all was Marcuse—whose pomposity was gleefully skewered by Joel and Ethan Coen in their 2016 comedy, “Hail, Caesar!”—a social destabilizer who first penetrated the Office of Strategic Services (the OSS, forerunner of the CIA), then corrupted generations of American college students at Columbia University (where the expat Frankfurters first found refuge), Harvard, Brandeis, and finally the University of California at San Diego.

It was Marcuse who invented the theory of “repressive tolerance,” which might best be described as tolerance for me, but not for thee: “The realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed.” What he didn’t mention was that tolerance toward such inimical aberrations as Marxism would only last until it triumphed, after which “tolerance” would be abolished.

(For more on Critical Theory, and the Frankfurt School and their wholly deleterious effects on American and western civilization, please see my 2015 book, “The Devil’s Pleasure Palace,” and its 2018 sequel, “The Fiery Angel.”)

And so we’re experiencing now the full fruition of the Frankfurt School’s cultural revolution and what the German Communist Rudi Dutschke, referencing Mao, famously called “the long march through the institutions.”

What the Soviet Union failed to do economically and militarily during its losing 20th-century confrontation with the West, cultural Marxism has come close to realizing: the collapse of Western Civilization via the destruction of what the Russian Communists used to refer to as the “principal enemy”—the USA.

Setting Kindling Ablaze

Having drilled several generations of students in Marxist cant—whenever you hear words like “systemic,” “struggle,” “structural,” “change,” “fundamental transformation,” et al., you know you’re dealing with Marxists—the tinder was laid, and all the New Left needed was a match.

The election of Donald Trump four years ago at first shocked and then galvanized them, birthing the “resistance,” unleashing the “Russian collusion” hoax, the Ukrainian impeachment charade (Lt. Col. Vindman, anybody?) and, with the death of an ex-con named George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody in late May, an unchained the Black Lives Matter movement, along with its largely white auxiliaries (and Marcuse’s bastard children), Antifa.

And presto: the national media now marches in Stalinist lockstep with the shibboleths of BLM, beginning with the demonstrably false accusation that cops are targeting young black males for extinction.

In a trice, riots have broken out, monuments to American heroes, including some of the Founding Fathers, have been pulled down a la Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War, and whole areas of American cities are suddenly occupied by violent anarchists. How quickly the illegal Covid-19 lockdowns were forgotten in the name of “social justice”—and yet how long their unconstitutional effects have lingered.

It is as if somebody had given the signal, and suddenly, in “blue” cities across the land, not only BLM and the Antifa punks have risen to show their true colors, but the politicians who run those cities as well.

The white mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan, has been content to watch her city burn, its downtown illegally designated as the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or, latterly, the “Capitol Hill Organized Protest”—although she now says it will be taken back by the authorities.

Meanwhile, the black mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, seems indifferent to the weekly death toll of young black Americans, murdered by other young black Americans. On Monday, June 22 alone, 41 Chicagoans were shot, six of them fatally. Apparently their lives don’t matter, as they serve no political purpose.

‘White Supremacy’

Make no mistake: this assault has been planned and coordinated for years to strike America where she is weakest: in her innate sense of rightness and fair play. Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement was heavily penetrated by the Soviets, who cynically felt they could manipulate American emotions while appealing to the better angels of our nature. But how quickly we have moved from King’s plea that we judge a man by “the content of his character” and back to “the color of his skin.”

Marxists see the world in categorical terms: you are not an individual (individuals are too difficult to control), but a member of a group (mobs are easy), subgroup, or even many subgroups (hence the proliferation of sexual categories from the genuine two to 46, by one recent count). Meanwhile, the enemy remains the same: the white, probably Christian, male.

Accordingly—and with astonishing rapidity—Western civilization from Aquinas to Mozart to Ronald Reagan now effectively equals “white supremacy,” and therefore must be destroyed.

Monuments to Washington, Jefferson, Francis Scott Key and even Teddy Roosevelt have fallen or been marked for removal. Never mind that TR was the first president to host a black man, the great Booker T. Washington, at a dinner party in the White House (an event memorialized in Scott Joplin’s now-lost ragtime opera, “A Guest of Honor.” Joplin, who was black, also saluted Roosevelt in his rag, “The Strenuous Life,” after Roosevelt’s 1899 speech of the same name.) He must go.

Which is also why statues of both Robert E. Lee, who led the principal Confederate force, the army of Northern Virginia, and the man Abraham Lincoln selected to crush him, the Ohio-born heartlander Ulysses S. Grant, are both being pulled down. It doesn’t matter that they were antitheses in life. What matters is that they are both significant figures from the past of a country that in the Left’s eyes has no future, because it doesn’t deserve one.

‘Critical Theory’

Don’t look for logic in the Marxists’ selection of targets. “Critical Theory” seeks to undermine our self-knowledge and cultural self-confidence by insisting that everything is a “construct,” a plot by the “privileged” against the “oppressed.”

It holds that there is no received tenet of civilization that should not be questioned (the slogan “question authority” originated with the Frankfurt School), attacked, and destroyed. Our cultural totems, values, and taboos are declared either arbitrary, or the result of a long-ago “conspiracy,” steadfastly maintained down through the ages.

But where is the pushback? The GOP, the heirs to Lincoln and Grant, have fled the field. Led by the feckless former House speaker and failed vice-presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, the Republicans ceded the lower chamber to the Democrats in 2018. Partly as a result, President Trump is in the fight of his life: should he lose to the semi-animated hologram of a gibbering Joe Biden, and the Democrats recapture the Senate (very possible), who will be left to defend the nation?

Something to think about as we head into campaign season.

Michael Walsh is the editor of The-Pipeline.org and the author of “The Devil’s Pleasure Palace” and “The Fiery Angel,” both published by Encounter Books. His latest book,“Last Stands,” a cultural study of military history from the Greeks to the Korean War, will be published in December by St. Martin’s Press. Follow him on Twitter @dkahanerules.
