A long history of violence among U.S. liberals

Recently on HBO’s Real Time, Bill Maher had this to say about the attack on Republican legislators: “We would never really think this would happen on the left. We think of the right as the people who pick up guns and do crazy things like this.”

And that’s just what they think. Liberals are peaceful and conservatives are violent. Even those who take pride in their political incorrectness repeat it. But you don’t have to be an American historian to know how little it holds up to the facts.

Every year on the anniversary of JFK’s assassination, media people talk about right-wingers in Dallas. But the real shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a Soviet sympathizer. And Robert Kennedy’s killer was a Palestinian radical.

Last year at the Super Bowl, America watched Beyonce’s half-time tribute to the Black Panthers, who loved their guns as much as any NRA fanatic, and used them enthusiastically.

The media did everything they could to make us forget about Barack Obama’s friendship with fellow Chicagoans Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, both members of the bomb-wielding Weather Underground. This month’s Puerto Rican Day Parade controversy resurrected the ‘70s leftist terrorist group the FALN. Today we have the Antifa, whose black mask image has become an emblem of America 2017.

The production of this opinion piece is fascinating in that 1) it is a featured opinion piece on Philly.com from The Inquirer (not a conservative bone in their body there) and 2) written by an English Professor at Emory University (absolutely no conservative school...home of The Chalkening and the University President's insane response to Trump's name written in chalk on the campus...)

Not just the US. Look at Liberals around the world.

Just like the D’s blame the R’s in the south for being KKK members when the opposite is true. With the help of the Media, they have twisted the truth for 50+ years on who the racists are and who the violent political activists are. And the R’s let them get away with it.

Thanks to the public school system the historical memory of this country is now so bad that people can’t recall incidents from the SDS and the Weather Underground a mere half-century ago.

In their own minds the lefties are right because they think that while the violence is 95% engaged in by the left it is always because of the “incitement” by the right which is perpetual because the existence of a different view of the world is irresistible incitement that ineluctably “cause” the leftist violence.

Leftists/liberals/progressives are the enemies of truth. They are the enemies of normalcy. They are the enemies of Godliness. They are the enemies (within) of America.

Enough is enough. Their damaging time is over. Shut them down wherever you see or hear them.

Democrats claim Republicans exhibit hateful behavior and racist attitudes towards black, which is of course the Big Lie.

But if blacks were voting 90% for Republicans instead of for Democrats, the Dems would be calling for them all to be shipped back to Africa. And doing it.
