Don't let those glasses get too rosey, republicans protested and burned crosses both times Obama was elected. Both sides can be generalized based on the actions of morons, but that just makes whoever says it look ignorant.
With respect, that is a direct comparison between an elephant and an ant. Anyone who cannot clearly see the difference between the passionate but absolutely legal "protests" of the American right for the past six years, and the organized, well-funded, calculated mob violence of the left, probably doesn't WANT to see it. The Tea Party was accused of all sorts of nasty and violent things, but none of them were ever true. They did their protesting by the book and many blacks and people of color were right in there with them. I attended (and addressed) 4 major Tea Party events with between 4,000 and 12,000 people in attendance and it was like being at Disneyland everyone was so civil and happy. Black and white and red and yellow came together to protest INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT, OBSCENE TAXES and INSANE DEBT. The only problems (same as Trump's rallies) were caused by a few planted troublemakers by the democrats. THAT IS THE TRUTH.
Most liberals don't know that. It's a fact that these liberal mob "protests" are only possible because so many on the left
don't really know the facts about many of the issues they scream about. They are simply the screamers in our world.
Not all, but enough, and even those liberals who don't participate in this anger and destruction are tacitly supporting it. There is NO legitimate political reason to be vile and destructive. None.
That's why there is always the immediate moral equivalency. "The Republicans burned crosses when Obama was elected..." If there had actually been even one real incidence of this, that person would be in jail for life and you know it. Republicans would prosecute that person even if it was a republican. The left does all that stuff. Then they try to find examples of equivalency and those examples are always proven upon further examination to be horseshit. Every incidence (the very few) of a burning cross or a church that was defaced, turns out that democrats did those acts to blame the republicans, every one, and with a compliant media that usually works. I'm not going to run down each one here because everyone has google. Democrats accuse the right of racial hatred and always invoke "the KKK"...the KKK today is about a hundred hillbillies strong and is just some drunk loudmouths who are on nobody's side politically.
The KKK was originally a militia that was formed by the Democrats to intimidate and murder freed blacks and the republicans who supported giving them equal rights. Democrats accuse republicans of suppression when it was the
republicans who freed the slaves from democrats, voted for, and passed into law, the voting rights act and all the laws that allow blacks to own property,
all of it against the will of the democrats who have fought bitterly against all civil rights issues for 100 years. Hell, Robert Byrd, the senior democrat US senator for 4 decades, was once a KKK leader! The only reason so many otherwise good people are democrats is
they don't know ANY of this!
When one side is full of people who would NEVER support it
if they actually knew what that side is about, you have to misrepresent what that side is about to keep your
membership. That's why liberals generally buy pencils with erasers. They make a lot of mistakes and they love to rewrite history. And, the liberal strategy of rounding up lots of passionate people who know zero about real history seems to be in full operation. Shame that so many of those folks don't know they are being very cynically used as tools. And let's be honest, many in these "protests" don't give a shit about politics at all, they just want to destroy stuff.
MARIJUANA is NOT a political issue. It's just as much for conservatives as it is for liberals. And many "leaders" on both sides are misrepresenting aspects of the marijuana issue for purely political reasons.
TO MY LIBERAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS: I am the MOST LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE, EVER. I support a persons right to an abortion, don't subscribe to a religion, and want to protect the water, the air, and all manner of cute little animals. I don't want pipelines to leak, I don't want kids to go hungry, and I never met a lesbian or an immigrant I didn't like. Plus I grow pot.
But the funny thing is, none of these are asymmetrical political issues, everybody with common sense feels the PRETTY MUCH the same way about these things but the left calls many of those issues something they are not and politicizes them to KEEP AMERICA DIVIDED.
The real problem is
good people who don't understand enough about issues, and their fellow man, to realize they are being
used.
Let the cross burning in my yard begin...
Peace, Hyena
