Covington Catholic Is the Terrible Sequel to the Kavanaugh Case
National Review ^ | January 22, 2019 | David French

Posted on 01/23/2019 7:46:12 AM PST by EdnaMode

Over the last 72 hours, I’ve been asking myself a simple question: What would happen if a group of Black Israelites had spent an hour taunting my son’s high-school football team? How would they have reacted if a Native American elder had walked into their midst – apparently not saying anything intelligible to them, but rather banging a drum and chanting inches from one kid’s face. Would they have thought that was an effort at “peacemaking,” or just more taunting? What would they have said if some of the people walking with that elder had yelled insults at them?

I ask those questions, but I’m pretty sure I know the answer. The boys wouldn’t have reacted all that differently from the kids at Covington Catholic. They would have sung different songs, they would have chanted different chants, and maybe one or two of the kids would have lofted an obscene gesture in the direction of the Black Israelites. In other words, they would have been kids, and barring some sort of overt criminal act, the blame for any tension that followed should rest with the adults who behaved so aggressively and strangely [snip].

But this is America in 2019, and it’s full of rage and hate. And parents of young men know that hostile people would instead want to destroy your child’s life. They would want to destroy your own livelihood. They would wish violence on him and you. They would try to destroy your school, and they would mock your faith. And then, even when their rage is proven to be unfounded, they would spend days hunting through your background and your school’s history to try to find some reason to hate you anyway.

Hopefully this will backfire against the left.

It’s not a sequel, but stems from the same blind irrational angry hatred for all that is good.

“the same blind irrational angry hatred for all that is good.”

Exactly, and every public facing entity is infested with hate filed leftists. Grinding away day after day destroying every tradition of the culture until nothing will be left.

I get the feeling that the average Leftist considers these to be Dark Times — perhaps the darkest in history — with Republican tough guys rampaging in the streets, terrorizing and oppressing anyone and everyone in accordance with orders from the White House, where an evil dictator named Trump resides.

But I don’t watch the MSM, so I don’t see it that way.

“Still calling this leftist loser a “Native American Elder” are we?”

We’re in a race war and most people on the right don’t know it. They think they can reason with or appease these maniacs.

Nancy Pelosi is a disgusting human being and she should be fired by her Democrat House Caucus. Number Two House Democrat Leader, Steny Hoyer has already challenged her, publicly & laid the groundwork for her dismissal and his taking over her Speaker duties....the crazy, unbalanced, woman is simply insane and a major disgrace & embarrassment to the country and our people!!!

take heed, Democrats....Bounce Her, Broom Her, Get rid of Her...today.

Only Pelosi? Good grief, if I wanted to hypothesize that women were an inferior breed and quite stupid, I’d simply list the vast majority of female Democrat politicians.

OK, OK, the same could go of Democrat males.

Darn, my back’s against the wall, a good many RINOublican male-like lemmings too.

And anti catholic.
They were going after kavanaugh for alleged, unsubstantiated activities when he was 17, but he was 51 years old. This kid is 16 now.

Anyone calling themselves a Democrat today is an immoral, indecent and sick individual.

I was in a situation at a bus stop a few months ago where some unruly thugs were acting in a way that seemed to be testing if I was fearing them, thus a potential victim. If I'd shown vulnerability, I would've been in danger. In fact, a very nice black couple came up and started a conversation with me, as if we were all life-long friends. Not showing fear and not being willing to cede our space kept me safe.

Just sayin'. The boys did the right thing. This was an attempt by the evil ones to take a snippet of an incident, frame (twist) it to their liking, and attempt to get the MAGA hat thought of as offensive and a symbol of hate.

That's exactly what happened with the Confederate flag, with a lot of help from useful idiot (or traitor from within) Nikki Haley.

Why is the anti-white National Review even aloud to speak on this topic? Haven’t they already made themselves perfectly clear?

Even if this were as bad as it was hoaxed out to be, so what. Not a national issue. It would just be a matter of some teenagers being rude to a man. That’s news? Happens everyday.
How many times in the past week have teens assaulted, robbed or killed a person? Where’s the outrage?

That there is funny.

As to the main point, and the reaction of effeminate pansies like David French, all I can say is "duh".

When are normal people going to wake up and finally realize that proglibs are the enemy? Just because they were born in the US doesn't mean anything. They don't subscribe to common cultural value systems, agree with the basis of the economic means of production, nor concern themselves with carefully considered and well crafted government institutions and procedures.

Not only do they not support the "American way of life", they are actively attempting to destroy it, and anyone who represents its foundation. OK, so hopefully we've got that issue cleared away: the left is the enemy. Now, once that notion is settled in, a few conclusions come to mind. First of all, there's going to be a battle for control. Two, when assessing enemy strength, one must look to their native advantages, as well as their inherent weaknesses.

As we all know, the left is driven by emotion; it's their forte. It's why they control the arts, media & entertainment. It also explains why the current theater of war is primarily waged in media - it's the proglib's natural territory. The right, OTOH, is logical - STEM et al. Our time frame is much longer, not being driven by the need for 24/7 content filler. However, the great scientific and technological advances occur on a very steady pace. The war will be won by right when they finally decide to fight back. But fighting on the proglib's day-to-day media turf is very foolish.

As a preview, let me tell you how this is going to go down. Essentially, the left hates because they are life's losers. But what if they could join the winners? Be attractive, be smart, be sexy, be admired? And it's all rooted in genes - oh how they hate that realization. But what if applied gene therapies could be widely and commercially available? I think you get the picture. Play the long game and simply co-opt these freaks, weirdos and losers, making bank while you're at it.

POTUS, Trump should defy Pelosi and announce nationwide, the he will deliver his SOTU address next Tuesday in the Nations Capital, in the House Chamber...period.

That way all the Congress folks will attend, including the cabinet, the military and the SCOTUS. as many “Angel” Moms, Pops & families should be guest of the POTUS. Let us see how many of these political folks do not show up. If Pelosi blocks the POTUS entrance, she should be arrested, cuffed in public and be promptly brought to nearest insane asylum to await trail. This would be so cool!!!
