I disagree with Derek. The next time Antifa “leaves their house” they will be bent on murder. They have a martyr to avenge. The BSM has told them so.

President Donald Trump needs to stop equivocating and condemn the concept of violence.

He's done that you great ass.

Several times, in fact.

Townhall editor missed ‘disburse’ for disperse?

This piece is incoherent. He admits the left is committing mob violence to provoke mob violence. Then he criticizes Trump for blaming both sides.

Let’s cut to the quick:

Even though we don’t want it, civil war is coming to our country, to our towns, to our neighborhoods.

We need to plan for that eventuality NOW.

We need to disburse firearms to the good folks in order to make the bad people disperse.

You stated:

“I have no desire to save Confederate statues or memorials. I couldn’t care less about them. It’s a little weird to have memorials to people who waged war against us anyway”.

“...people who waged war against US”???????

Us is we, we is them, they were us. This isn’t Nazi Germany declaring war on the USA. This is the CSA declaring war on the USA who already declared war on the CSA.

This is not about them and us, this is 100% us and that is why statues were built in honor of the other side of us.

Together after the war we were us again and not them and us as if it was an outside force.

So, get it straight, it was called Civil war for a reason.

The THEY did not attack US. WE attacked each other...

I remember on vacation with the Family around 1964 in TN near some Civil War history. I saw a poster of state flags and many flags of the south had the stars and bars on it.

In moment of childhood innocence I asked my dad why they were allowed to put that on their state flag, after all they lost and we are one USA now. He said, don’t know I guess they are proud of for some reason. I replied well I don’t see Germany or Japan’s flag today look like the one in WW2.

This piece is incoherent.

Salem Media specializes in incoherent content, ranging from Townhall to The Michael Medved Show.

Trump needs to stick the FBI on the BOTH hate groups ... peel off the veneer and find out who they really are - and who's the funding and training.

Who's paying for the leftists, their weapons, travel, and organization? AND the same for the white supremacists... who's paying for the tiki torches, weapons, travel and organization.

Who understood the optics behind tiki torches? That type of psy-ops and organization is beyond the normal ability of hate groups. If I was guessing it looks like both hate groups - both sides - were funded and guided by the same sources.

Excuse me, but that’s President Trump, but I agree with you.

#9 - Yes, that line absolutely jumps off the page, in a gross way. For me it undermines any credibility the author has to speak of what’s going on. He clearly believes in too many of the Left’s memes.

That is not the issue.

The Confederate flag is as much a part of the history of the entire nation as our current flag. It is from a nasty period in our history but it is an integral part.

The fact that the south chose to fly or display those flags is in all actuality the only thing left they have to be somewhat proud of.

The South was decimated, abused, torn asunder and not rehabilitated. So, in a way, flying the Reb flag for them was a mild form of protest. Did we care from 1865to 2017??
No. We ignored it like adults.

Didn’t people joke after Carter the d__ head was elected, that the “South will rise again”? I think Time magazine (or was it National Lampoon?) showed a picture of the Iwo Jima flag raising being done by a bunch of rebel soldiers in front of the White House.

The bottom line is that while Nazi Germany changed their flag(s), their national anthem to this day is Deutschland Deutschland uber alles...and Japan’s flag no longer has the Imperial sun rays but their flag is the same and they were allowed to retain Emperor Hirohito, a war criminal if there ever was one!

‘Excuse me, but that’s President Trump’

you sound like that idiot George Clooney, who snarled and glowered at Jesse Waters for referring to President Obama as just plain Obama...

This will be a different civil war, unlike the first, which had standing armies to battle each other.

Even Townhall has gone left! Couple that with Faux Snooze going decidedly left, there are no longer any conservative news/opinion sources.

‘which had standing armies to battle each other.’

well, in C-ville the other day there was a standing heavily armed force present, and ‘standing’ is an excellent way to describe its actions...
