Amd they want to condemn President Trump as a 'fascist' for simply saying he wants to make America better?

I thought it was President G. W. Bush who was Hitler.

I'm so confused...

I remember when Reagan was Hitler.

Thus the oft stated and debated, ‘is it too soon to start shooting?’

It’s conceivable that the founding generation or even the civil war generation would have already started.

I fear it won’t be long at the rate the godless socialist totalitarian despots are taking over:

..our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure...

But I believe they let the other side fire the first shot in the civil war. I know, that’s debatable. as is everything that happened back then.

But our founders did caution us to be patient:

...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...

President Trump was elected to secure our nation, drain the swamp, stop or even reverse the slide into hell and make America great again. Many feel he was raised up by God to do exactly that. He is fighting great battles against great odds and deserves our support, our patience and our prayers.

If they succeed in taking him down through a coup, it very well could be, Katy bar the door.

Yes, I suppose that’s true.

And none of these idiots will ever be able to comprehend exactly how the country got destroyed.

And once it’s destroyed, why it’s impossible to fix.

I have never seen so much idiocy ever.

You never want to ask what stupid thing they’ll do next because they’ll do it. And something more, too.

Before you know, it those same people will want to expunge

“They don’t seem to understand that nobody’s perfect... Even Jesus Christ blew one out of twelve.”

Bad comparison. Christ was and is perfect. Christ chose precisely the apostles / disciples His Father wanted Him to choose.

The fact that Judas turned against Him proves that some people will not be satisfied with the truth, with grace, with perfection, no matter what privilege is granted to them.

The betrayal of Judas was prophesied in the Old Testament, as were many other aspects of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.

While the selection of Judas might be perceived by some as a tactical error which led to Christ’s early and gruesome death, it was all part of God’s sovereign plan for the redemption of mankind.

“SFUSD Values”? Just what are they? A horde of homeless people living outside and openly crapping on the sidewalks? They ain’t my values and they are assuredly not American values. Perhaps they should leave - we would get rid of 51 electoral votes, 43 congressfolk (including sickening Swalwell, Schiff and Maxine), two leftwing nut senators, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

I figure the KFC will be enough to get some part of the Left going.

Of course, they always make excuses for their own.

Imagine if President Trump had a bucket of KFC. It would be non-stop 24/7 coverage with “experts” “analyzing” the “hidden messages”, etc., etc., etc.

No opposition to Confederate statues. Nobody got shot removing them.
The commies got bold and moved on.
Now a Washington mural.
Next year, Mount Rushmore?

More of the mural:

The man sitting with the Indian, holding the peace pipe, says it all.

Step 1) Demonize Confederate leaders.
Step 2) Demonize Founding Fathers.
Step 3) Demonize Founding Fathers’ acts, such as creating the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as a ‘product of vile men’.
Step 4) Overthrow the Constitution and Bill of Rights and install a Soviet tyranny.

This is a lefty v. lefty debate. The murals were painted to put Washington in a bad light:
________________________________________

Robert Cherny, a professor emeritus at San Francisco State University who wrote a biography about Victor Arnautoff, believes the artist was presenting “a “counter narrative” to the prevailing high school textbooks of the time because his representation of the westward expansion included the slaughter of Native Americans, and he presented Washington as a slave owner, both facts the official narrative back then tended to either ignore or gloss over.” [Richmond Review]

“He put those ghastly gray pioneers literally walking over the dead body of an Indian to demonstrate that the settlement of the west was an act of conquest that involved the slaughter of Native Americans,” Cherny said at a 2018 Board of Education meeting. “That was a very bold effort on his part to counter the kinds of textbooks that students were seeing.”
__________________________________________

Now the really really stupid lefties think the depiction of minorities in the mural is offensive because they don’t understand the mural at all!

If anyone wants to see the murals in person, they are being open to the public from 10-Noon on Saturday, May 4 at George Washington H.S. which is only a couple of blocks from where I live.
