Good Observation LP
I have to say that I am not familiar with the acronyms so I looked up Antifa in the Urban Dictionary and it said...
Short for (militant) anti-fascists.
Middle-class champagne socialist/communist/anarchist white boys who don’t like nationalists or fascists. They consider themselves to be rebelling against the establishment, whilst upholding all of its ultra-politically correct views.
Antifa only dislike racism when its carried out by whites, and do not have the bottle to stand up against anti-white racism; leading to many people on the right to refer to them as ‘traitors’. I’d rather just call them morons.
Most are teenagers and university students who grow out of the fad when they start paying taxes.
Antifa is stupid.

Next I looked up BLM, I thought it must stand for something else than Bureau of Land Management, evidently its what they meant???
So then I listened to the talking heads on the news today to come up with my opinion.
For those interested to this point, here it is:
The confederacy is part of our American History, as such the flag, the statues, and the historical evidence is as much a part of America, as Slavery, for Blacks, as well as whites, asians, and every ethnic subgroup that comes to America.
It is foolish, and ill conceived to remove any element of our history, it is rather essential to LEARN from our experience and make ourselves, ALL of our peoples better from the lessons, and to leave in place as reminders of our history, all those pediments and documents, that make us what we are today.
It is also evident, that what is not allowed today, was allowed yesterday, all one has to do is go back to recent history, in which protests over Trayvon Martin in Furgeson were allowed to go on unabated, with much damage to both persons and places, with no stepping in to quell it, as was displayed yesterday.
It should be pointed out that the legal rally, was abruptly stopped, at the time it should have gotten under way at noon. The timing was eloquent for the dispersal of the crowd. We will never know what would have been said. It was equally evident that the protestors were bussed in for the event, some wore paramilitary garb and were armed, so you could not tell if they were offical or not.
As was reported, many were there out of curiosity, many were there because they wanted the statue left in place or at least put in a museum.
The liberal agenda (IN my opinion) is that if you disagree with them, they do not move on, you cannot have your own opinion, it must be quashed. It cannot be voiced or given credence, and it must be vilified in the public square, and only their opinion can be give legitimacy. Unfortunately, it seems the MSM is marching lockstep (I used this word purposely) with the Antifa, and the Left.
Finally, I agree with Trumps statement, it was wordsmith-ed correctly. I think he knew exactly what he was saying, and the point was made and the MSM went crazy over it...Way to go Mr. President. I am proud I voted for you.
Today for those in the Left, like the MSM who are so insistent to get the meme they need, Trump patiently spelled out what his obvious statement meant. Still he did not say that, and I wish he would have, that we cannot forget history, good or bad, for to do so, would doom us to constantly repeat it. For this to stand unchallenged would mean that to stay relevant, we must remove every MLK street in America, but, that is just my opinion.
