Free Republic

I have a lot of material posted on Facebook, including on Free Republic’s page there. Now, as the Mid-Terms approach, it’s all gone.

Blatant fascism!

Prescient!

This is why I won’t touch Win10; it is a virus.

Win7 is their last strong, user-friendly platform, so that’s what I’m running — including ‘downgrading’ a Win10 computer to Win7.

There you go, using logic, reason, evidence to explain why a Leftist policy is harmful.

Doesn’t matter; we will soon suffer under a One Party state in which all of the statist, collectivist, social engineering programs will be rammed down our throats.

They will soon pass a $15/hour minimum wage, which will wipe out many low-paying entry-level jobs. Unemployment will increase dramatically as employers spend the same amount of money on fewer workers.

Try explaining that to AOC who is already complaining that the proposed budget is not bigger.

That is an excellent point. All Trump rallies and the GOP Convention had AntiFa/BLM going after the crowd. Their typical formula was to wait until the majority left the scene, then scream at and jostle elderly couples having an outdoor meal.

That’s a good point. Republicans can cry about how 2nd Impeachment would divide the country, but it’s already divided. Let the Democrats make fools of themselves — and then be cross-examined. What would be especially telling if it comes out that the violent ones actually have AntiFa/BLM backgrounds.

“...for days before they were publicly saying that was exactly what they planned to do.”

Do you have a links to quotes?

Apologies for the formatting. The long dashes were supposed to have carriage returns before and after.

"...'We won this election, and we won it by a landslide' This is three minutes into his speech and repeats a false claim that Democrats say is the starting point for the incitement charge."

It is by no means a Fact of Nature that Biden won the election. There was plenty of evidence in the form of sworn affidavits and videos. The Courts refused to consider it one way or the other. We all saw with our own eyes poll-watchers being ejected to the cheers of the vote-counters -- some of whom were sporting Biden gear. Then the lead mysteriously switched in the wee hours. To assert that questioning the election results under these circumstances as 'false' is demagoguery. -------------------------------- "...'You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore.' At one point, the president says the Biden presidency has to be challenged. 'You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can't let that happen'..."

Let us not forget that the Hard Left and their #PartyofJimCrow has been saying that Trump is not legitimately PoTUS since before he was sworn-in. There are numerous examples of Trump Admin officials, Republicans being harassed and even assaulted [e.g. Rand Paul, Dan Bongino & wives] after being instigated by Pelosi, Waters, Booker, et al. People wearing #MAGA gear have been beaten up and even killed. So spare us your crocodile tears. --------------------------------- "...'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore' This is the longest quote from Mr Trump's speech that appears in the charge sheet. It could also be the one that his lawyers will find hardest to defend if the impeachment goes to trial in the Senate."

Democrats have literally been fighting Trump and his supporters since Day 1 resulting in bloodshed. Again, crocodile tears. --------------------------------- "...'I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.' The language is very different from other sections which borrow more from combat or war."

Let us remember that the context of these remarks is subsequent to AntiFa/BLM Sturmabteilung looting, burning, cracking heads. Our Constitutional Republic was born from battling against illegitimate government imposed w/o popular mandate. This is precisely what the Democrats have done to the majority of the legit American voter. ------------------------------------- "...'We're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them'..."

And that's what peaceful, patriotic protesters did while Congress was dismissing calls to audit the election results for 10 days. If the Democrats were confident that they won a free and fair election, they would have agreed, so their legitimacy to govern would be beyond question. But they knew their conduct at the polls would not withstand such scrutiny.

It is also curious how the media is not curious as to the actual identities of the violent rioters. They certainly didn't look like the actual Trump supporters. Some may have been wearing MAGA gear, but they also wore body armor, helmets, goggles -- and clubs. Has anyone seen such people at a Trump rally before?

Furthermore, the fact that the police had advance warning of possible mob violence before Trump's speech gives lie to any assertion of incitement.

It is not reasonable to call for unity after trying to overturn the previous election via fraudulent, illegal means [e.g. FBI spying, fraudulent FISA testimony, perjury traps, Russia collusion hoax, Ukraine quid-pro-quo fabrications].

The Left considered Trump to be illegitimately PoTUS precisely BECAUSE the American people overcame Democrat dirty tricks in 2016 and chose their own Head of State. Now that we have had the most feckless, addled, corrupt person possible installed in the White House by a fascist junta, we are supposed to keep our mouths shut and accept it? Unity by instituting censorship, propaganda to obtain submission?

What Trump said is mild compared to what he, his Administration and supporters had to endure during his entire presidency from Democrat politicians, the media and entertainment industry. And most of the attacks against him were actually directed at a feared, despised American people.

There are consequences for voting Democrat.

Yes, those who say Eric Garner was murdered by the police for selling cigs are perpetrating dangerous demagoguery. Recall the numerous assassinations of LEOs during Obama’s watch.

James Holmes slaughtered 10 people in a Colorado theater. He was taken alive, unharmed because he surrendered peacefully.

Eric Garner was a repeat offender selling individual cigarettes. He unilaterally decided that the law did not apply to him and was therefore entitled to fight the police. For that, he forfeit his life.

That the latter incident was racialized and used as an excuse to kill cops and beat up elderly veterans who happened to be the wrong skin-color is the real atrocity.

These are the laws the people in that jurisdiction voted for. If we allow the law to be changed because someone doesn’t think it should apply to them, so they fight the police, that replaces civility with barbarism.

The laws are not the fault of the police. To fight them when enforcing it, is to put one’s own life, the lives of the police, and those of innocent bystanders in danger.

So to hell with that fat scumbag! You don’t like the law? There is a peaceful process of changing it.

And this is the sort of jurisprudence for which the people of NYC voted. It is a heavily regulated society. That’s what the voters apparently want.

This is why I have little sympathy for people who have found themselves subject to unchecked riots accompanied by grinding lockdowns. When I see a shopkeeper being interviewed complaining how their outdoor market is closed while the outdoor canteen for a movie set is open, my question always is, “did you vote Democrat?”

Leftists are True Believers who think it’s a sin to allow the Infidel freedom of speech, freedom of association — and self-defense if attacked by their AntiFa/BLM Sturmabteilung.

Consider this; during the Summer of Love, people were rioting in the streets against freedom in favor of tyranny. The public schools and media have been very successful in dumbing down the heirs to our Constitutional Republic.

I fear you are correct. Regardless of one’s level of optimism, America is in for some hard times — including those who were duped into voting Democrat. Their leaders despise them and take them for granted.

Not the begining, not the end. Smack dab in the middle. The american people are nearly at the boiling point as a nation of working class people. The lefties are to full of themselves to stop poking the bear. Trump will start a social media platform and a new political party. Trump will serve two terms.

The Left and their Party Of Jim Crow have successfully criminalized freedom of speech by having AntiFa infiltrate this rally and then spill blood.

They are going to turn the screws hard on us.

the guy who was illegally selling individual cigarettes died, because he resisted arrest.
Or he died as a result of too many laws. Selling onesies is a crime? In America.

That law was enacted by his elected representatives. One does not change the law by fighting the police on the street. That would reject Rule of Law with Might-Makes-Right.

Well, let's consider what has happened this past year, culminating in what happened on Jan 6.

The year opens with the Democrats making a second attempt to overturn the 2016 election with yet another fraudulent set of accusations that would have been summarily dismissed if the PoTUS were a Democrat.

While this is still in-progress, a deadly pathogen from China emerges. The Politburo orders Wuhan to be quarantined from the rest of the Mainland, but allows it to spread throughout the world, resulting in, as of this writing, more than 2 million deaths worldwide. The WHO tells us that it's not contagious among humans. Pelosi parades through Chinatown, inviting others to join her.

If Trump and/or the Republicans were this responsible for Wuhan, they would have been rightfully brought up for charges of Crimes Against Humanity. Instead, the Chinese regime is appeased, apologized for defended by the Democrats, media and international corporations that benefited from the status quo of cheating, exporting jobs, stifling wages for their own countrymen.

Nonetheless, Trump is successfully blamed for the contagion and deaths. He is called a racist for blocking travel from Hot Zones in China and Italy.

Then, the lockdowns, shelter-in-place orders that were only supposed to last a few weeks so medical facilities are not overwhelmed all at once drag on to this day -- particularly in Democrat-run jurisdictions.

Subsequently, there was a series of police shootings involving a certain demographic of those designated as Born Victims. What would have otherwise been considered local crime blotter stories were blown up to be international news, with the inevitably finger-pointing -- and misdirected hand-wringing.

What is scrupulously ignored is that in nearly all of these fraudulently racialized incidents -- starting with what precipitated the 1965 Watts riots -- was the subject deciding to fight the police over a minor offense. The guy who shot up the movie theater in Colorado was taken into custody without injury because he surrendered peacefully. The guy who was illegally selling individual cigarettes died, because he resisted arrest.

The #DefundPolice movement emerged, resulting in horrific increases in violent crime in the minority communities and racially motivated attacks elsewhere. Democrat state and local politicians ordered the police to Stand Down as AntiFa/BLM infiltrated the protests, looting, burning, cracking heads.

As the #SummerOfLove dragged on, the enhanced unemployment benefits were allowed to abruptly expire. Pelosi took the House on vacation when Senate Republicans would not pass a Covid Relief package that included the Green New Deal, bailouts for bloated pensions in Democrat jurisdictions, taxpayer-funded benes for illegal aliens, racial/sexual orientation quotas for companies that accept aid, prohibiting localities to require VoterID, etc.

Thanks to the Left-biased Establishment Media, this and all other suffering inflicted by the Democrats was blamed upon Trump.

As Election season approached, Democrats changed the rules, sending out mass unsolicited ballots, not requiring signature verification -- or whether those who returned these ballots even lived in the localities or were even alive.

Those who raised objections to this blatant nullification of legit voters were ironically -- and successfully -- accused of #VoterSuppression.

Finally a 2nd Covid Relief package was signed after the election -- most of which did not go to any Americans, instead to be frittered away by hostile nations.

Then on the night of the election, we saw Trump in the lead in key Battleground states. Then as the days dragged on, we still did not know who won as ballots were counted in the wee hours after poll-watchers were triumphantly ejected. Even with Court orders in hand, poll-watchers were blocked out as the leads curiously changed.

There were plenty of eyewitness accounts and even video showing questionable vote-counting. We all saw the differences in crowd size at the Biden and Trump rallies before the election. Nonetheless, anyone who dared question the election results as declared by CNN were smeared as Conspiracy Theorists and even traitors.

For their part, the Courts -- including SCoTUS -- refused to consider the evidence one way or the other at all, thus showing that they too are beholden to the #DeepState.

Then came the demonstrations at the US Capitol as Congress convened to certify the election results as official or to request a 10-day audit. For over half of the legit voting population, it was more than questionable whether the election was legitimate.

If the Democrats were actually confident that they won a free, fair election, they would have welcomed the audit, so their legitimacy to govern was reinforced. But they knew that their election results would not have survived such scrutiny, preferring instead to rule under a cloud as they took to smear, persecute anyone who questioned the election as a means to consolidate their ill-gotten gains at the ballot box.

Up to this point, pro-Trump rallies have always been peaceful, with the grounds often left cleaner than before. But this time, a small cadre showed up wearing body armor, goggles, respirators, helmets, clubs and other hand-weapons. Some wore MAGA gear, but otherwise fit the demographic and tactics of the very same people rioting in Democrat-run cities unchecked for months.

Some commentators -- including Republicans and Fox News -- said that if these violent agitators were AntiFa/BLM, the police would have beaten them down. We all saw the videos of thugs running rampant as the police stood in lines and watched.

All of this was blamed upon Trump by the media, Democrats -- even some Republicans and conservative commentators. We have seen these past few years Democrats and Leftists calling for violence against Trump supporters -- and getting it.

The result is that all speech, peaceable assembly that is pro-America, pro-freedom, pro-law enforcement, pro-free markets will be successfully deemed treasonous -- and thus righteously subject to harsh, smothering suppression.

Hence we see Social Media shutting down Trump's ability to connect with the American people directly, without being filtered by the media. We even see people losing their non-political jobs for daring to question the election results, question Born Guilt, support the police, support the President.

So is this the beginning? Yes, it is the time when it will be marked that America's fate was sealed in becoming a fascist, one-party, banana republic, Third World shithole.

Is it the end? Yes, it is when our freedom of speech, freedom of association, right to self-defense, right to have a loyal, non-violent opposition to the Ruling Party came to an end. It will be marked as when our Constitutional Republic, our free society that allowed for so much prosperity and innovation was in its death knell.

This editorial has since been turned into a meme in which Clint Eastwood is the alleged author.
