As columnist Charles Krauthammer once pointed out, one the first acts of the Taliban in Afghanistan was to blow up centuries-old statues of Buddha carved in a mountain cliff. They did it not because they were built by the United States or Israel or represented Western colonialism. They did it because they represented civilization and culture and ideas that were different than their own.
Today statues of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and other “racist” figures, with the exception of statues of the late Sen. Robert Byrd, a KKK “Grand Kleagle”, are the new statues of Buddha and the black masked Antifa thugs that confronted those white nationalists at Charlottesville are the new Taliban. President Trump was right to say “both sides” were at fault at Charlottesville, including the Black Lives Matter and Antifa mobs that showed up in black ninja outfits complete with shields and blunt instruments. Ironically, Trump’s words after Charlottesville, clear enough for those not already hating Trump, were more than enough for Susan Bro, mother of Charlottesville victim Heather Hyer:
The mother of the woman killed at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., thanked President Trump on Monday after he spoke out against hate groups for their role in the weekend's violence.Antifa is a domestic terrorist group which, like the Taliban, wants to erase history and any national ideology that challenges their own virulent and violent ideology. They are, like their Taliban and brown shirt brethren, nihilists, bent on destroying anything that does not fit their jaundiced world view."Thank you, President Trump, for those words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred," Susan Bro said in a statement, according to NBC News.
The violent presence of Antifa at Charlottesville was typified by the assault on a black conservative student at a Charlottesville vigil for Heather Heyer, who was killed during the violence:
A black student says he was assaulted over the weekend at a vigil for the victims of the Charlottesville protests because of his conservative beliefs.A new report shows that even the Obama administration was aware of this violent group as it participated in and eve precipitated violence at places lik Berkeley and at Trump for President rallies:Caleb Slater, the president of the Ithaca College Republicans in New York, was wearing a Young America's Foundation hat at a Sunday evening vigil for Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed when a suspected white nationalist drove his car into a crowd of protesters in Charlottesville on Saturday.
The vigil was organized by the Syracuse, New York, chapter of Black Lives Matter.
When masked members of the militant-left group Antifa saw Mr. Slater, they approached him, asked him about his hat, told him to leave and attacked him.
He said his assailants grabbed him by his clothes, choked him with his camera strap and pushed him into the street.

Rule 803
How about rule 308?
These liberal bullies are more akin to the equally violent Great Leap Forward revolution in China, which sought to erase all prior history, assaulted its professors and required radical egalitarianism regardless the harm or death toll.
We’re letting Soros and ISIS tear down our history. But then, that’s the goal of the left.
ok. rule 308 it is. (embarassement)
Ha,Ha, a little dyslexia hits us all from time to time.
I’m ok with 803 too!
Ok guess I’m behind the times what is rule 308.
Our Matt Bracken(Travis Magee) came up with a short succinct poem for the times. I’m not sure how to find it at the moment. FReeper help anybody?
Rule 308 not a rule at all, but rather an informal collective understanding that if times get truly Schumeresque (times when law and order evaporate), you may have to handle your own law enforcement, with a rifle in hands. Hence, the number 308–which refers to .308 Winchester. (Also known as “Rule 303” in British Commonwealth countries, as popularized in the movie Breaker Morant–referring to the.303 British cartridge.)
Thank you.
Yeah, I'd say it's about as crazy as most AntiFa, and then.....well he really WAS Taliban, more or less.
