I think you are right about the statues being a distraction but there was an article in the last week that really opened my eyes. Briefly, the author started off with the observation we always hear, “Why do they (the street activists) do that? Surely they know that behavior doesn’t win people over, doesn’t change minds.”
Of course they know that but that isn’t why they do it. It is their way of showing the world and especially their opposition just who has the power. It is spiking in the end zone. It is the Victory Lap. It is telling anyone who might have the audacity to stand up to them that they will get their ass kicked, their skull fracture if they are lucky and possibly even murdered with absolute impunity because the police and government are behind them.
This is exactly what I have been trying to point out, why I have been explaining it is so important that they be stopped. I have reached a few people but most just don’t get it.

Can’t watch most of FNC anymore, and after what I just saw and heard on FBN, I can’t even stomach Trish Regan.

If you are talking about violence at antifa rallies, there have been counter rallies by right wing groups prepared to defend themselves. They have kicked antifa azz on several occasions. Look for videos on the battle of Berkeley.
And that has just escalated the violence. Kind of reaffirms my point I would say. I have been pointing out that on Friday night when Antigua was outnumbered about 5 to 1 there was no violence. A little name calling and they put their tail between there legs and slicked out. Which is why I say it is important to greet them each time out in massively superior numbers. That will end the violence.
(Of course the people opposing them have to get the FreeRepublic Offical Seal of Approval. We are working on a screening process so that only the ideologically pure can participate. In this way we can be certain the BSM won’t call us racist Nazis.)
“And that has just escalated the violence.”
Disagree. If anything antifa toned down the violence once they realized they were no longer up against defenseless people. There haven’t been more any clashes until VA.
We’ll see. I hear they have another shindig in Boston soon. My prediction is there will be deaths. They have a martyr to avenge.
Very cool! Time for Molly to become a star.
Now the question is, is Mitt on their Payroll, or is he just piling on Trump because he is jealous?
I listened to the presser. Trump did great. Krauthammer is delusional. Screw the alt-left and their minions. Attack them mercilessly.
