Bay Area Conservatives Keep Meetups Secret Fearing For Their Safety
CBS SF Bay Area via Drudge Report ^ | February 4, 2017 11:01 PM | KPIX Staff

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Some East Bay conservatives say they live a secret life. They can never tell anyone what they really feel like in fear of their safety.

Robert Ward is coming out conservative, but in a place he says is risky for those who share his beliefs.

“If you witness what happened in Berkeley, actually they are so violent on top of it. I mean being a conservative in the Bay Area is like being a heretic,” says Ward. “You lead a double life. You can never tell your friends and co-workers.”

Keep using that excuse and see where you end up.

It’s a question of priorities. For the left it is a high priority to make you kow tow to their beliefs and policies. Apparently for you, sacrificing your beliefs is not a big deal.

The wife and I laughed about what would happen if I were to say “Rush says....” like he was a familiar family member in front of her uber-liberal sister. I didn’t do it, but I was sorely tempted!

"Our silence confuses them. To this day they do not understand why they lost. They confuse our lack of childish reaction with non-existence."

And they'll be as equally confused and shocked when the day comes for them to see our rage.

I have learned a great deal about my Pittsburg High (Contra Costa County)high school classmates via Facebook since the election was final. So many of them have expressed their lunacy that I don’t even bother to rebut.

Granted I grew up in a factory town where Unionism was king but the atmosphere of the 60’s and early 70’s before I left wasn’t anything as nasty and remorsefully repugnant as that which I am reading.

Hope they get over it; they haven’t much choice.

That's because the general culture had not yet caught up with it.

According to this article: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/11/20/lawsuits-prompt-bay-area-sheriffs-to-issue-concealed-weapons-permits/
There are only 1616 CCW permits in the Bay Area.

Good luck legally carrying where the fascists have already won.

“Many of us have jobs and lives and no time for protest.”

Well then you have no damn time for a nation, and no one OWES you one that you would want to live in.

You seriously think the people on the left are all unemployed, and living in basements?

I am so sick of hearing that damn excuse.

Perhaps this might be what you’re looking for. Via Wiki

Usage and deployment[edit]

An NYPD officer stands ready with the LRAD 500X at an Occupy Wall Street protest on November 17, 2011 near the city hall
Extremely high-power sound waves can disrupt or destroy the eardrums of a target and cause severe pain or disorientation. This is usually sufficient to incapacitate a person. Less powerful sound waves can cause humans to experience nausea or discomfort. The use of these frequencies to incapacitate persons has occurred both in counter-terrorist and crowd control settings.
The possibility of a device that produces frequency that causes vibration of the eyeballs — and therefore distortion of vision — was apparently confirmed by the work of engineer Vic Tandy[1][2] while attempting to demystify a “haunting” in his laboratory in Coventry. This “spook” was characterised by a feeling of unease and vague glimpses of a grey apparition. Some detective work implicated a newly installed extractor fan that, Tandy found, was generating infrasound of 18.9 Hz, 0.3 Hz, and 9 Hz.

Like I said, were taking it by winning.

Let’s keep taking it by winning more. This is just the beginning.

Their activism has backfired and they aren’t learning.

Don't get me wrong - I'm with you. But if by some miracle you could get the powers that be in California to "grant" you a CCW, and you went down among these asshats, and you maybe took one (or several) out because they were going to attack you, then you would be in deep crap because the local DA would convince a jury that you were "hunting" and therefore you would spend a lot of time in the can and as a convicted felon you would lose your Constitutional rights.

I have friends and family who are stealth mode.

I am apparently the only one out in the open, which must be why I receive so much ridiculous, tiresome bile from so many so called friends.

I take it so I can make them look stupid but they continue talking about staged incidents as well, promoting the violence going around, which makes them fascists on the one hand and loud mouthed cowards who egg on others from a distance, so it doesn’t cost them anything.

Ok. Post the time and location of the next protest you are leading and I will follow you into battle.

Until then, you are just pontificating.

And pontification plus $4.95 will get you a coffee at Starbucks (in selected locations).

We are all geographically separated. The fascist democrats won’t do that shit in Alabama. They are fighting in their own back yards.

“Ok. Post the time and location of the next protest you are leading and I will follow you into battle.

I’m not your mom, dude! Are you not a self-starter?

Your are looking for yet another justification to sit on your ass.

I DONT need to lead you, you need to get up and LEAD YOURSELF.

I’ve been busy the past 4 months writing, calling, being active on half a dozen websites where we are engaging in efforts to push back against a massive propaganda machine.

This takes place on my days off, before work, after work, on my breaks at work.

I’m also sending money to (as of today) 12 YouTube channels where the people there have quite their jobs, and are working full-time to be the alternative media to help counter the left in their own way.

The point is that “I have to work” is a bunch of bull right up there with “I’m too busy taking my kids to soccer practice”.

You think I want to do this all damn day? I’d rather be watching TV or not neglecting other crap I’d rather do instead of being on month THIRTEENTH of non-stop politicking and debating, and countering stupid leftists.

But I’d rather not see some shooting war start where we will find ourselves with even less free time.
