Charlottesville, Trump, and the Bubble
American Thinker.com ^ | August 22, 2017 | Tom Trinko

The outrage about Trump’s comments on Charlottesville has been somewhat surprising for most sane conservatives.

He condemned all violence. Who could object? Two groups of haters attacked each other; it was like the Soviets fighting the Nazis -- sane people wanted both sides to lose. But the voices from the Bubble are telling us that only one side was bad and that condemning all violence, like saying all lives matter, is evil.

The liberal and media response was expected since if Trump were to say that the sky was blue or that the sun rises in the east they’d attack him.

In this case the specific reason that we knew that liberals would object is that they have now gone full fascist and completely embrace the idea that they can use physical violence against those who use what liberals have declared to be “hate” speech.

According to liberals, speech that they don’t like is violence.

The reality of course is that liberals oppose free speech because liberal beliefs are intellectually indefensible. The only way they can win over people is by denying those people the truth and by ensuring that those people go by their feelings not rational thought.

Having a mob of violent blackshirts helps to ensure that people never get any information that liberals don’t want them to have.

So the attack on Trump by Democrats and the mainstream media was not unexpected.

But why are so many “conservatives” attacking him as well?

That picture is worth a 1000 words. Post it again, and again and bump it to the top. LORD, save us from Robert Byrd.

The outrage is the most fabricated thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life.
Both are sub human groups, and you could argue that Antifa is even worse.

They are mostly media-made creatures. Their friends are in the media. They need sustinance from the media.

Considering that President Trump's dessert choices were criticized for days by every mainstream media outlet, it's hard to be surprised that the rest of the #FakeNews is also anti-Trump.
