We could very well see a major revolt in the future.

If it hasn't happened by now, it isn't going to happen. Americans shrugged away their birthright.

It will happen, not today, or tomorrow, but down the road and you can take it to the bank with this prediction I made.

I'm 65, but I want to participate. I hope you are right, but I don't think so. We allowed the perversion of our youth through the schools and the media.

Yep, I doubt we’ll see the ‘oppression’ in my lifetime, but it will come, all in the name of “what feels good” instead of using logic and common sense.

We haven’t hooked up in a very long time. There needs to be some organizing in the Atlanta area. For such a big metropolitan area, this place is lame.

I have met a really great guy, The Toll, we plan to get together for some good old American fun this weekend. Send me a phone number to hook into it.

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically attack Whites.

I am more correct then you realize.

Do you have a red telephone that connects directly to God? Please indicate how you can be so sure. I don't think there is any evidence to support that claim. Americans sat idle while heinous thinks have happened to the Republic and our society. They no longer have what it takes to keep this Republic.

Will it be considered "hate speech" when liberals say that conservative women and conservative blacks aren't really women and aren't really black? Would that not be an insult to their gender and race? Naw, they'll say it's a criticism of their politics, which will not be a "protected class."

Criticisms of Christianity will likewise be classified as political commentary, whereas criticisms of Islam will be considered anti-religious hate speech. Libs always cover themselves to make sure that THEIR brand of hate is always protected.

Are we headed to chaos? Are we "there" yet?

We are headed for chaos, because those seeking to impose a Nazi type regime on America are totally clueless as to how human societies actually function--that is with respect to the ongoing dynamic interaction that leads to predictable results. But in the meanwhile, we are living with a combination of the confusion in the streets, that predated the Nazi takeover in Germany, with a large dose of the even more extreme Bolshevik theory being spouted by the leaders of the new morphed Democratic Party.

I focus more on the Nazi aspect of what is transpiring, because of some of the street action--largely misunderstood by the Leftwing apologists in the media. What happened in Baltimore, the other week, was very similar to the Crystal Night riots in Germany in 1938, where shops were not only looted and destroyed; but those who controlled Law enforcement actually protected the organized thugs. This is an interesting, but extremely dangerous, evolution of the street riot in America.

I was particularly struck by it, because the Mayor who ordered the Police to effectively "stand-down," was a graduate of my Alma Mater! As confused as the "Liberals," there in my day; they would not have gone that far.

The Leftists in Washington largely turned the lights out on the First Amendment, in Washington, a half-century ago.

The First Amendment does not just guarantee free speech & freedom of the press--the latter obviated by contemporary practices in the mass media;--but it also contains guarantees of the freedom to exercise religion & to peacefully assemble. The provisions of the Civil Rights laws that prevent people from giving any preference to those whom they believe accept religious principles that make them more trustworthy as employees, tenants, etc., are a prime example of how the Left has gotten away with curbing basic freedoms.

Just as one inquires who is to define what is hate speech; one used to inquire, who is to define what is fairness in interpersonal dealings? A recent example of how the Left plays the game, was displayed in Indiana, where the State Government was intimidated, rather than allow free Hoosiers to decide not to do business with those flaunting the sanctity of marriage.
