White nationalists are planning a rally in Lexington to oppose the planned removal of two Confederate statues from the lawn of the former Fayette County Courthouse, and they’re considering a lawsuit aimed at blocking the move, a leader in the movement said Tuesday.

Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party, said his group and others allied under the umbrella of the Nationalist Front are discussing plans for the rally.

Heimbach said people in the Lexington area asked his group get involved. The group has members in Kentucky and plans to try to recruit more, he said.

You don’t have to be a white nationalist to oppose removal of historic
statues. U do know that, don’t u?

[The Toll]

I’m saying that if you have white skin, the left has already enrolled you.

[blueplum]

I’d be beating feet down to the local courthouse and suing the beetles out of the municipality for not showing the prescribed honors that must be extended to any Veteran memorial when moving, storing, transferring, conveying, etc. etc., especially those on historical registers.

If a Ft Sumpter incident happens don’t think for a minute that half of Congress will stand with the people. The government will put down a “rebellion” quicker than Reagan took Grenada.

[wyowolf]

I wouldnt go that far. I mean you cant paint people with a broad brush like that, then cry foul when libs do the same thing...

are there black racists?? hell yes..
are there white racists?? hell yes..

but one can be white or black and NOT racist...

Two sides of the Socialist coin are ripping this country apart. The flames are being whipped up by Obama,Clinton and Soros.A coup is taking place. If something is not done,the left will set this country on fire,American VS American and EVERY monument that we know of will be prone to destruction or removal. This is all Alinsky and Communist playbook. Obama is not done transforming for his ilk is a plague. I never knew America was weak enough to be ripped apart so easily. Woodrow Wilson would be delighted.

Trump knows if he were to call out the NG his order might be refused. He can’t take that chance.

Reconstruction & Creating Hate In America Today

Hate & ignorance on the march. And many Conservatives remain silent, lest they offend those who would plunder the multi-generational heritage of America. This is the end game of a movement over a century old, launched by White Leftists seeking to destroy the heritage achieved by better men in a more honorable era.

Note that the great Negro educator, Booker T. Washington, went to his grave in 1915, warning his people against the new movement. Here is his plea for racial good will:

Here is how this works.

They demand the removal of American history. You think that’s bad. You show up to help preserve American history. They show up and punch you for being a Nazi. You don’t like being punched so you punch back. CNN shows you throwing a punch and demands the President denounce Nazi’s like you. Then you log onto Free Republic and demand that you would never be affiliated with yourself.

Disagree. It took 4 bloody years and 620,000 plus casualties to put down CWI.

How many millions of Americans will die in our next Civil War?

[wyowolf]

lol... vivid imagination...

i’d be out fishing somewhere...

[CivilWarBrewing]

I agree. There is a reason for my FReep name and I've seen this coming for years. All out Civil War by 2020, that is if we don't get NUKED FIRST by NK, Iran, etc.. Either way it won't be pretty. It's only 3 YEARS AWAY OR LESS, plan accordingly.

We need to pray HARD for Trump's presidency. With friends like McConnell, McStain, Ryan, Graham, etc., WHO NEEDS ENEMIES? No president in our history has been confronted by the threats Trump is up against. The media, our universities, Hollywood, AND EVEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WE HAVE WITNESSED IN CHARLOTTE is owned and operated by Soros and his minions!

George Soros needs to be put down or arrested, prosecuted AND HIS BANK ACCOUNTS THAT FUND THIS ORGANIZED COMMUNIST ASSAULT ON OUR HISTORY BE FROZEN!!!

[Chgogal]

Worker Party is usually a Socialist organization.

IOW, this is a NAZI association. NAZIs are Socialists. They are LEFT of Freedom, Free Markets and the US Constitution.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Sigh.

There are only two reasons to announce you’re holding an alt-Right rally somewhere.

1) Because you’re dumb and attention-hungry and actually subscribe to the notion that “all publicity is good publicity,” or

2) You’re gaslighting antifa into showing up and rioting so that they continue to look worse and worse with Average Joe American.

[Terry Mross]

In CW 1 hi Both sides were equally armed in the beginning. Not the case now. I’m not sure citizens have won a shoot out with the cops since Bonnie and Clyde. Local police are just as armed as the military these days.

[Ohioan]

You do not respond effectively to stupidity & hatred--the key characteristics of what passes for Leftist purpose--by aping their actions. Someone needs to stand up with Trump and defend the honorable intentions of those who defend the heritage of the America that was once the envy of the world.

Anyone who would trash the monuments of the Americans is no friend of America. There is no moral, logical or reasonable justification for what is going on. It is indefensible in morals or logic.

Here is a perspective from the era, the thugs claim to be avenging:

Edgar Allan Poe's Insight On Fanaticism

Here is a perspective from the great Negro educator, half a century later:

Good post and absolutely spot on.

If only Senator Joe McCarthy had been listened to and we had taken appropriate action in the 40s and 50s, maybe a lot,of this could have been avoided. But even then the communists were masters of the smear and turned his name into a massive smear.

It is astounding that DOJ has never gone after Soros for his treason and sedition. I understand why under Obama, but not before or after Obama.

I read a couple weeks ago that Soros’ son is taking over for dad and is equally bad. I thought maybe the old buzzard kicking off would help, but he has spawned and funded so many groups that they will long outlast his miserable shriveled carcass.

[Terry Mross]

Hey, I’m with you. But a few thousand people fighting in the streets is not going to win. And I’m not sure you could get a thousand people to participate in a real fight. Just MO

[montag813]

I don’t think many people outside of NYC, DC, and LA think destruction of public property to appease one group of people is a good thing.

But soon, very soon, let them say so publicaly, and lose their Facebook account, their friends, their job and perhaps even their children.
