Breivik the Norwegian also offered his killing services to Islamonazis. He said that they wouldn’t be looking for a white person such as himself.

Do you have a source for that?

And when? Some people who are attracted to extremist ideologies run through several before settling on one they really like.

He wasn’t against Islamonazism. He just didn’t want them in his country.

He studied al Qaeda's tactics. He imitated them. He even admired them in a way. But so far as I know he saw them as the other side.

He was like Nazis who found things to admire in the commitment and fanaticism of Communists (or Communists who admired the drive and courage of Nazis). I get that some people are going to say that he was a leftist (and that the Nazis were too), but the guy who writes pages and pages attacking "cultural Marxism" and kills scores of young socialists saying "Today you will die, Marxists!" doesn't really count as a leftist either.

So lazy and stupid. Like country music = Trump voter? Life doesn’t work that neatly. I’m a Trump supporter but would likely never go to a country music festival or event.

Yes, and I said this before, I know many Canadians that love country music. And believe me, they are NOT Trump supporters. Maybe at one time you could make this generalization but country music has been so mainstreamed now.

Isn’t there a photo of him at a rally protesting Trump?

Reminds me slightly of the Nazi approach. You have a slight trickle of Jewish blood in your bloodlines, so you must be one of those evil conniving Jews.

Breivik was a neo-Nazi, which is fundamentally Leftist. This confuses a lot of people because Nazism is so different from the Leftists we typically encounter, but Nazis view the government as a positive force and believe in enforcing equality (if you’re the correct race); both of these are Leftist traits.

Conservatism also believes in adherence to the law (except for extraordinary circumstances, such as during the American Revolution), while mass murderers fundamentally do not.

Mass murder (when done to people not known personally, and planned out) is fundamentally done by Leftists. I will concede that a guy attacking people while on bath salts may not be thinking of Leftist political ideals at the moment, but it was Leftist thoughts which brought him to that state.

I don't think that it's been confirmed that it's him.

Republicans, Christians and Conservatives need to go to war against CNN.

This statement is beyond the pale. Folks died and their politicizing it.

Un-freakin’ real!

CNN probably is indirectly (or directly) responsible for Hodgkinson’s massacre on the Baseball field, as well as this one.

They’ve been plying their hate for conservatives and Trump for over 2 years now. Finally their bots are moving the way they want them to apparently.

A “gay” bully, like Zeleny and so many in his “profession” are, deserve the epithet. If you don’t like it, tough.

Then Trump supporters are the victims of a horrific crime. And the liberal response is ... to ... disarm Trump supporters with additional demands for gun control. Yup. It's bizarro world and this bat-guano only makes sense to liberals. But the media will help them pitch it at the fan.

Definitely agree with you on CNN and the rest of the media being responsible for the Hodgkinson incident. There’s likely 2 or more degrees of separation from the media and Paddock, but they are partially responsible for this shooting as well.

And that’s not even getting in to Antifa and how the media has deliberately tried to ally with them. (Antifa thanked them by beating up MSM journalists, fortunately, and that cost Antifa a good deal of its MSM support.)

We can do our parts to stop terrorist attacks by reporting anyone we personally know who expresses liberal opinions to our local police and the FBI. In the meantime, make sure make sure you have a plan to deal with Leftists you encounter which both keeps you and your group safe, and keeps you legally in the clear.

This confuses a lot of people because Nazism is so different from the Leftists we typically encounter, but Nazis view the government as a positive force and believe in enforcing equality (if you’re the correct race); both of these are Leftist traits.

Nazis fit in with one variety of the European right wing, which historically did believe in powerful government and in enforcing inequality (between classes or races or religions or ethnic groups).

Some liberals will tell you that the left was always peaceful and tolerant and kindly. It wasn't. But neither was the right, especially in 20th century Europe.

Conservatism also believes in adherence to the law (except for extraordinary circumstances, such as during the American Revolution), while mass murderers fundamentally do not.

People who turn to political violence usually do believe that we are living in extraordinary circumstances that justifies taking up the gun or bomb. They aren't conservative. But they may be right-wing. They usually aren't liberal either, though they may be left-wing.

Mass murder (when done to people not known personally, and planned out) is fundamentally done by Leftists. I will concede that a guy attacking people while on bath salts may not be thinking of Leftist political ideals at the moment, but it was Leftist thoughts which brought him to that state.

Sane, healthy, responsible people don't shoot up people they don't know. You can take pride in being sane and healthy and responsible I guess, but putting all good on your own side and all evil on the other side of the political spectrum looks like special pleading.

I don't believe that every mass murderer who happens to be a white guy is right wing or that Nazis or racists are conservatives, but I also recognize that not every awful thing people do can be blamed on leftists.

Maybe calling Breivik "right-wing" is wrong or inaccurate, but calling who somebody who ranted against "cultural Marxism" and political correctness a leftist doesn't get us closer to what he was.

So apparently CNN goes wink, wink, crocodile tears. I try to give the benefit of the doubt that the reporter is just ignorantly spouting until the next commercial.

Excellent advice FRiend!
Worth repeating!

Nazis fit in with one variety of the European right wing, which historically did believe in powerful government and in enforcing inequality (between classes or races or religions or ethnic groups).

If they believe in government as a positive force, they're Leftists. Your position on the political spectrum is not determined only by how anti-Communist you are, even though Communism is necessarily Leftist. The big intellectual leaders of the European fascists were ex-socialists, and had similar beliefs in that people should serve the government, that capitalism was destined to fail, and in belief of some form of welfare (Mussolini and Hitler both proposed a form of nationalized health insurance to help the poor, for example). Where fascists and socialists/communists differ is that the latter are insistent upon equality of condition, whereas the former do not believe in equality quite to that extent and usually has a greater emphasis on exacerbating arbitrary differences. Conservatism believes in equality under the law, and nothing more (no "equality of opportunity" gibberish which liberals spout, but really want "equality of condition").

Some liberals will tell you that the left was always peaceful and tolerant and kindly. It wasn't. But neither was the right, especially in 20th century Europe.

Neither liberals or conservatives are fundamentally peaceful and tolerant, but only one of them lies and claims that they are. (Only anarcho-capitalists can reasonably claim that, and anarcho-capitalists are pretty naive.) Conservatives, at least, are only intolerant towards people who seek to be rewarded for their mediocrity and failure.

I also recognize that not every awful thing people do can be blamed on leftists.

When every awful person happens to be a Leftist, it's easy to look for where to point the blame.

calling who somebody who ranted against "cultural Marxism" and political correctness a leftist doesn't get us closer to what he was

Again, anti-communism is not exclusive to the right wing. Very few people of any political orientation deliberately call themselves "politically correct" (I've only even heard of stupid college kids who hate conservatism call themselves that); it's a term of disparagement used by people of all political orientations.

Yes, country music fans are likely to be Trump fans, Christians, and white. The perfect targets for a muslim convert!
