When are conservatives going to fight back against the violence of the left? It's glaringly obvious that the radicals in the Democrat party are using tactics that put many people in fear of physical assault or damage to their property. This became clear during the Trump presidency, when proud Americans were beaten up in public for wearing hats supporting him. Viral videos of hats being snatched from the heads of people in restaurants, in shopping malls, or just walking along a street became common.
Did we ever think the time would come when people wearing caps that read "Make America Great Again" would be subjected to vicious attacks? Contrarily, those who displayed support for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, even Fidel Castro would have no fear of reprisal for wearing political apparel.
A few years ago, while attending a family reunion on Long Island, I was reminded of the potential for danger if I wore my red "MAGA" hat. We were gathered at a family member's home in East Hampton, a well known enclave of wealthy leftists. The family member, a conservative, was an anomaly in that ultra-liberal community. One afternoon, when we were preparing to take a walk along the well manicured sidewalks of the exclusive shopping area of town, I asked if it would be out of place to wear my cap. Although it was unlikely that I'd be risking my life, I was cautioned about the looks I'd receive from the local gentry. Moreover, I was told there was always a chance that someone would do more than glance disapprovingly at my dauntlessness.
Just as I was about to abandon the idea in order to avoid controversy during such a happy, fun-filled weekend, two of my nephews spoke up.

Why is violence tolerated by the left. Is it because the left accepts evil or is it because their thinking is inverted?
It’s only a matter of time. But when we start, let’s not be “liberal” and not end it without complete, utter victory, and pain for the enemy.
Nothing new here. The KKK was once the militant wing of the Democrat party. After Lincoln took away their slaves they transitioned to the universal slavery of Socialism and needed a new batch of thugs to usher in their ‘utopia’. How they got blacks hoodwinked into voting for them ought to be taught in marketing school.
Has anyone been arrested since the protests near the Supreme Court Justice’s homes? Haven’t heard of any, but there should have been many by now.
Yes. I don’t see half measures working. I don’t think a bit of fisticuffs will be sufficient to set our opponents straight. It’s not likely that a gentle drubbing will get them to once again value civility and free speech. No. It will take more. It will take a lot. When the gloves come off, it’s going to be really, really bad. Our union of 50 states is ending, I think, and it’s not going to be pretty.
The three branches are supposedly equal. Why can't the Court get its own people to round up these thugs ? Surely self defense of the Court itself is an implied power . Why depend on the Executive Branch, especially one as obviously lawless as this one?
Ha. No
“Bob Weir is a former detective sergeant in the New York City Police Department. He is the executive editor of The News Connection in Highland Village, Texas.”
(doesn’t say if he sings or plays guitar) ;~ )
It started decades ago in black neighborhoods, where a lost white person was fair game for murderous thugs. It was accepted by America that that is how it is. Then, we had people like Ann Coulter physically threatened when attempting to speak on college campuses. Threats directed against George W. Bush and Bush Administration officials were ignored and condoned. Conservatives harassed and threatened with violence and lawfare. All of this before Trump. Now, Supreme Court Justices threatened and harassed at their homes. We have seemingly passed the point of no return.
‘Not that Bob Weir, is it ???’
perhaps we should be grateful there’s another Bobby out there...
