When fear wins: Brexit, the vicious cautionary tale
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 24, 2016 | Mark Morford

Posted on 06/24/2016 5:50:49 PM PDT by artichokegrower

This is what happens when you enflame and provoke to the point of vicious irrationality. This is what happens when you make vague and heartless, crass, openly racist, fear-based, hyper-jingoistic promises that are impossible to deliver and will actually only make things far, far worse.

Cameron issued his own threats, don’t forget he warned that he would immediately invoke Article 50...AND..that he would not resign if the Leave side won.

No, this is what happens when you take people’s freedom away and replace it with leftist fascism. This is what happens when you tell an entire people to eff off and enjoy the trip.

This is what happens when people won’t tolerate slavery anymore.

The only sad part is that it was peaceful as you liberal Nazis should have been the first ones against the wall.

Thank you for posting this. It’s been a long time since anyone has posted something written by Ms. Mark Morford, and I missed the comic relief.

Anybody else notice how liberals over simplify things? And how they argue ad hominem to make their points? In this case, this writer says hate wins. Its all about hate and bigotry according to him. This passes for deep.intellectual thought among liberals.

“Remain was running on fear”

Fear and threats, and now, punishment. The stock market turmoil and loss was no doubt pre-planned; they know that only inexperienced investors panic and they can afford to wait. There will be more. The globalists are fighting for their very way of life.

Less government = more freedom. Wisdom before beauty. The young English will thank their elders some day as we do our Founding Fathers.

“——anxious older people and the working classes”


Another elitist knocking the working classes.

Shame on him.

I thought he was dead, too. He’s certainly in his usual foul mood, so we haven’t missed anything.

This is what happens when you kill one of your own under a false flag operation and the vague and heartless, crass, openly racist, fear-based, hyper-jingoistic promises that are impossible to deliver and will actually only make things far, far worse .... doesn’t work!!!!!!

The Democrats are now the Step N’ Fetchits for the globalist fascist oligarchy. Thank God Trump rescued the GOP from that hideous fate. We are the Party of Lincoln and don’t let your exalted backside ever forget it.

It’s like pulling a bottle out of a baby’s mouth. The baby doesn’t get it.
