Of Cannibals and Kings (Liberals are eating their kings - VDH)
nationalreview.com ^ | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/27/2015 4:16:59 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Black Lives Matter and other, related groups are still demanding that Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel step down well before his term expires. It appears that Emanuel did not release for over a year a police video showing the possibly unjustified shooting of criminal suspect Laquan McDonald. He apparently was too afraid of losing his reelection bid to another liberal--and expected that, as a former Obama confidant, he would be granted immunity from inner-city anger.

Is liberal anger at the liberal Emanuel a new trend? Will populists one of these days go after the newly declared populist Hillary Clinton for her Wall Street shakedowns? Will greens cannibalize Al Gore and John Kerry for their dinosaur-sized carbon footprints? Will reformers swallow Barack Obama for his scandal-ridden administration?

In Baltimore, crowds of angry minorities rioted and burned stores over the death of detained suspect Freddie Gray--despite the reassurances of a black mayor, black police chief, and black prosecuting attorney. Community anger at police is now a hallmark of nearly every major American city.

*snip*

How can all this anger arise when there are almost no conservative administrators or professors on most major American university campuses? Has there been any liberal demand on campus that has gone unheeded in the last half-century? Do activists hate even more those authorities who cave in to them, as if unprincipled weakness is more contemptible than principled resistance? It is almost as if students would prefer to be told no by John Wayne than by Tom Hanks.

I hate to say this but... they’re waiting until they can firmly blame it all on a President Trump or a President Cruz. When the big ship starts to right its way, that’s when the real violent commie revolution will go into overdrive.

God help us...

They created this monster. They run most inner cities. Let it shred them.

Mischief, thou art afoot! Take thou what course thou wilt!

Laquan McDonald could have been America’s loss.

He could have been elected president some day just as was a totally unknown Barack Hussein Obama or a Barry Soetoro.

What a pleasant ring: President Laquan McDonald.

They are going to blame the bitter harvest of all they have planted on the Republicans, anyway, just as they took credit for the economic trends which started under Ronald Reagan.

When the big ship starts to right its way, that’s when the real violent commie revolution will go into overdrive.

God help us...

...and steady our aim, if need be.

Eventually, yes, the masses will turn on their liberal handlers. Eventually, the low information masses will discover that Clinton, Emmanual, Gore, etc, etc can not deliver what they have promised. However, these plantation owners will simply be replaced with more of the same.

Until they bring the entire system down with abject misery for all but the elite. Then comes The Terror. Then a warrior-dictator. Then world war. Then collapse, famine, pestilence. Then a renewal, and on it goes...

Libs played the race game, now they’ll pay for it; unassimilated blacks now demand blacks in all positions of power as it relates to black populations, rather than just serving as low-level managers/zoo-keepers.

This trend doesn’t bode well for Hillary’s campaign; she’s going to need that 104% turnout in Philly and other welfare reservations...

Yeah the commies tried that in 1967-68 .... had every inner city in America rioting and burning, to start their “revolution” .... and what was the result?

People got fed up with the chaos and elected a law-and-order Republican. Ooops.

Here we go again.

Will they all descend on the 2016 Democratic National Convention?

Will they trash Philadephia?

Will Mayor Nutter and Governor Wolf go all Bull Connor?

2016 has the makings for an interesting summer.

ah yes, human nature strikes again. Something that libs just don't understand is the common denominator that drives men with all their dreams of transhumanism and transgenderism.

Looks like someone has organized the community out from under Emmanuel. Wonder if the agitators have gotten a nod from the Organizer in Chief, or if it’s just a local thing.

Some revolutionaries are not sufficiently revolutionary for the revolution.

So just keep your powder dry and wait it out, ok? I think we`re in the most dangerous times now. They see the writing on the wall, they know they`re going down on election day, desperate people do desperate things to hold onto power.
