Rep. John Lewis Wants To ‘Take A Bullwhip’ To People So They Care About Civil Rights
The Daily Caller ^ | September 21, 2017 | Liam Clancy

Posted on 09/22/2017 7:50:54 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Democratic Rep. John Lewis said Thursday he sometimes feels like “taking a bullwhip” to people in order to make them care about civil rights.

“It doesn’t matter whether they’re black, or white, Latino, Asian-American or Native American. When you see something that’s not right, not fair, not just, you have an obligation to do something, to say something. They’re just too darn quiet. I really wanna use some other words sometimes,” Lewis told the audience of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Town Hall on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C.

“I believe in the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolence, but sometimes I feel like taking a bullwhip and just saying to people, ‘You get your butt up. You go out there and do what you must do,'” the Georgia congressman continued.

Lewis added that young people must become “fighters” and “warriors” for the cause of civil rights.

Activists “just need to be radical” and “extreme” in order to fight racism in the United States, Lewis opined.

“Lewis added that young people must become “fighters” and “warriors” for the cause of civil rights. “

But his talk about making them radicals and warriors is more of an issue with me.

**************

He’s inciting others to violence. Its what demogogues do.

> I wonder if he understands how many TRILLIONS of rounds we have stored up?

That’s why gun control is so important to the masters. The rounds aren’t so dangerous after guns are rounded up (as if that could happen). Yet so many slaves think it’s about stopping a few thousand criminals a year. And they’ll get the whip if they stop protesting guns.

Now with a bullwhip.

Said it before: Blacks don't want equality, they want Whites to pick their cotton.

Don’t bring a bullwhip to a gunfight, Congressman.

Bullwhips have an effective range of less than a few yards.

Rule .308 reaches much farther.

Mr. Lewis lives in a “Shall Issue” state.
He is welcome to try his bullwhip.
His seat might open up suddenly, though.

Exactly. Being the weasels that they are, when asked would say “We are speaking metaphorically...”

BS. They fully endorse and want pain and suffering with resultant violence. They are all Alinsky acolytes, and are less interested in solving a problem within a framework that is not theirs, but destroying the framework they disagree with by exacerbating, magnifying, and ripping off the scabs on existing or healing issues to turn up the heat in order to destroy the framework they disagree with.

For example, if there were a water shortage in an area and the “community” is angry about it, instead of fixing the water shortage, Alinskyites might well sabotage more water sources to exacerbate the issue as a way of “turning up the heat”.

Is that photo from his meeting with Anderson Cooper and Bathhouse Barry? He seems to be suggesting something.

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation? How much of our tax dollars are subsidizing their fellowships, scholarships, internships? And their galas like the Celebrate African-American Leaders in the Fine Arts set to honor Spike Lee, Yolanda Adams and Simone Paulwell Hosted by Tichina Arnold who?

These separatists sneak around getting privileged govt information to advance THEIR causes....not the USofA's causes.

The Congressional Black Caucus, itself, is bad enough....each member gets an extra 10,000 tax dollars to spend as they like.....plus.

=============================================

(HAT TIP GAIJIN) We are witnessing the rise of the **non-state GOVERNMENT.** A group of people governing from the shadows. THEY ARE SECRET OCCUPIERS. Our country FARMED by separatists.....smaller, parasitic groups of individuals that suck-up our information and our tax dollars.

ANALYSIS These are calculated pressure groups whose only purpose is to ride the US gravy train. Assorted catastrophes are threatened if they don't get what they want. Sums up the burdens taxpayers suffer from:

<><>Pay-Me-I'm-a-Victim types,

<><> color-based victimhood,

<><> hyphenates of all denominations,

<><> economic refugees, immigrants, border-jumpers,

<><> corrupt foreign aid greedsters demanding billions of our tax dollars.

<><> groups that separate us...rather than uniting us.

=========================================

Another despicable Me-First breed inhaling our tax dollars:

<><> multiple color/ethnic-based Capitol Hill Caucuses including a Caribbean Caucus,

<><> ex-pols exploiting their elected offices for cash like the Clintons and Obama,

<><> pols using govt inside data to profit themselves,

<><> eternal bureaucrats cashing govt checks long after you think they're gone.

CONTACT CONGRESS----no more tax dollars for these separatist groups.

CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

The good news is that more and more people who might otherwise be completely non-political see this as nothing more than the rantings of the perpetually malcontent.

I don't know anyone with an IQ over 70 who really believes there is even a need for basic civil rights laws in this country anymore.
