I’m of two minds on this...

Fighting the Antifa is always good and commendable. Good on him for being my proxy.

At the same time, I’m very, very uncomfortable with those who support the Nazi and white nationalist movement. They are racist and I want nothing to do with them. I don’t know his background well enough to say where he stood on that so I’ll keep my powder dry.

Thank you. You expressed my position eloquently. I don't want to support Nazis or White Nationalists, but I do think these violent left wingers need to be beaten back with force.

I also think we are setting a dangerous precedent if we allow a "hate speech" veto of the right to assemble and the right to speak.

The Liberals will move the goal post on what constitutes "hate speech", and then any advocacy of Christianity will be called "hate speech" and banned.

I seem to remember us as being labeled as racists and White Sumpremacists for taking to the streets as “Tea Party”. Maybe I have been experiencing an alternate reality.

Since they seem to be the only folks will to trade blows with commies and racist blacks, I only have sympathy for them.

You don’t expect the William F. Buckley type conservatives to actually get into the trenches do you?
