A call to GOP Christians: Silence in the face of Charlottesville racism is complicity
Sacramento Bee ^ | August 14, 2017 | Rob Stutzman

Posted on 08/16/2017 6:03:35 AM PDT by artichokegrower

It didn’t take Charlottesville to confirm that President Donald J. Trump is a hollow man. But it did take Charlottesville to provide a tipping point for the Republican Party to find its distance from this egomaniac who hijacked the GOP to get to the White House.

Everyone is a little racist, or tribalist. Its unavoidable. The US does not hold an exclusive position here. You want to see racism? POCs are infinitely safer in white neighborhoods than whites in POC neighborhoods in ANY country. Fact.

Totally agreed.

But what we need to understand here is that “racism,” as it is *actually* being used in the current national debate, is not actually about “hating or being negatively prejudiced against people of other races.” Rather, it is being used as an ideological signaling device. If you hold one ideology, you’re not racist. If you hold another, you are. And since “Nazis” are the atavistic blood enemy of the radical Left, as well as being the “racists par excellence,” the transmutation of merely being “racist” into being “a Nazi” is an entirely logical step for them.

I guess if I were Trump I guess I would ask reporters what’s wrong with them. I would say I don’t support neo-nazism or any other type of racial hate.

Polite Conservatives are going to bleed out on the sidewalk with their heads bashed in, and while they lay there dying they will hear themselves be called a Nazi racist anyway.

Trump could also say that the idea of racial supremacy is wrong. There is no place for racial supremacy in the United States.

Don’t you love it when heathens try to hit you over the head with your own bible.

SacBee admits this was a PsyOp intended to drive a wedge between Trump and the GOP.

Mission Accomplished. Not like they weren’t 90% of the way there anyhow.

Racism is simply a diversionary tactic of the left to draw attention away from the true nature of the conflict: Left vs. Right. By tying their political opponents and their motives to race, they effectively silence them. They have been doing this for fifty years, and it’s high time we simply tell them to do anatomically impossible things and re-focus on the real conflict, which is ultimately godless heathenism vs. western Christianity. Anyone who even acknowledges their nonsense is part of the problem; Trump was smart and did the right thing by calling them on it.

It didn’t take Charlottesville to confirm that the deep state uni-party is an evil entity. But it did take Charlottesville to provide a tipping point for true Republicans to find its distance from the supporters of violent anti-democratic forces who hijacked the GOP in order to get into Congress.

See how easy that was? This is an information war, where language is weaponized to defeat the enemies of freedom. It's not difficult to mount these types of attacks against neo-anarchists. Rather, those that refrain merely reveal themselves as allies of leftists who seek to use physical violence to suppress basic civil rights.

Yes, we must not be silent THAT THE ANTIFA GROUP WENT THERE TO DELIBERATELY PROVOKE A VIOLENT SCENE.

But unlike Berkeley or Portland, they met a group, some of whom might be just as despicable, who were not going to be intimidated by Antifa’s fascist tactics.

All of us have condemned Nazis ... we have no connection with them. We have no connection with the KKK - the closest Republican have come to the KKK is their association with Democrat Senator Robert Byrd - a KKK member and officer and for years the head of the U.S. Senate.

Democrats are the party of the KKK and the White Citizens Council. Democrats are the party of ‘identity politics’... with a dangerous idea that ‘identity politics of me but not thee’ was just. It’s not. Eventually it breaks down. We either all see ourselves as Americans and work at that - or we can break up into ‘identity’ groups. As usual it appears what the democrat left feels ‘identity politics’ is good for THEM but not OK for anyone else.

Who do we stand against?

We stand against liberal mobs tearing down statues. We also stand against ISIS mobs tearing down Buddha statues. We stand against mob rule. We stand against people who want to destroy history because THEY are ‘offended’.

If cities vote to take down historical markers - that’s fine. We back that... We back elected city officials making that choice - either way they choose. We back citizen having the right to stand up to liberal mobs.

We do not back left wing thugs putting their ‘feelings’ above the rule of law.

You may be a victim of auto-correct, but the phrase is "high DUDGEON."

Thank you.

The digital know-it-all in my PC didn't like that spelling!

It never stops. If you do say what they want you to say then the response is “then what are you going to do about it?”... the inference being that if you don’t do what they want, then you don’t get credit for doing what they say.
