Screw Michael D. Rich !

What makes him think that our populist movement is less legitimate than the left’s extreme unAmericanism.

Or that his business needs to “fight forces” that are not politically acceptable to him?

No advocate of liberty he .

He needs to read a little history:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.”

Samuel Adams , Speech at Philadelphia State House, August 1st, 1776

Lying about so-called “peaceful” protests sure doesn’t help anything. Everybody saw what happened last summer.

How in the world did this doofus become a president/ceo or is he simply a bald-face liar?

“Countering the forces”?

He means The Deplorables.

It was not a siege and not deadly except for the AF veteran who was executed by either a DC cop or antifa, or one in the same.

People otherwise dying from medical emergencies happen. It is no reflection on on the condition of the siege.

Besides, it was mostly peaceful.

GOOD LORD - DID THIS IDIOT NOT SEE WHAT HAPPENED ALL SUMMER LONG?!

THIS IS BS

I will NOT be lectured too by these people who refused to stand up for actual Americans all summer but decide to dogpile on command when a mere fraction of what happened across America comes home to the capital. (And far worse has happened on the capital - lest we forget one of the BLM leaders actually bombed the senate building and the black panthers took the capital WITH GUNS.)

This is a country founded by rebels Mr. Rich, rebels against tyranny. If you can’t deal with that, can’t accept it, then get the F out.

Hey Genius, what’s your plan to keep Communist China from intentionally releasing pathogens into the USA while enjoying fellatio from corrupt politicians?

Statistical analysis is a true science and very good evidence that this election result is impossible. Most liberals have no interest in math OR science. They are easily brainwashed and have no logical thoughts of their own. This criminal insanity going on with Democrats, castrated Republicans, big business and the CCP WILL LEAD TO WAR.
Even leaders of other countries are SHOCKED!

Much of the burning, looting, and murdering have been peaceful, until Jan 6. Oh okay.

You have to remember that the RAND Corporation is a whore totally dependent on government grant money. They are bought and paid for, and are ready willing and able to serve their masters in a Biden administration.

Yes I think the mainstream media never learned the definition of the word “siege.” If they spent any time listening to War Room with Steve Bannon, they’d learn a lot of military terms.

This is a failure of our public K-12 education. When they teach the Civil War, for example, they no longer teach about the battles—only the “societal pressures” that led to war.

Luckily my daughter in her new private Christian high school will be taught using the curriculum “A Patriots’ History of the United States.”

Now that Big Tech has decided that “Patriot” means “Domestic Terrorist!”
