President Trump lit every one of those torches in Charlottesville.
Yes, the white supremacists have always been with us. A parade of racist bigots is no surprise to anyone familiar with our history, especially those who have been the target of hatred and violence for centuries.
But when the mob of white men marched in Charlottesville carrying flaming torches Friday night shouting Heil Trump as the curtain-raiser for a day of violent clashes with counter-protesters that left three people dead, they showed the world that America is once again playing with fire.
And Trump was the one with the match.
Yes, there are many sides in the culture war that the racists keep trying to hitch their flaming wagon to.
But this abomination that happened in Charlottesville over the weekend is not up for debate. Its not a cultural take or a political platform. Racism, bigotry and terrorism in the name of white nationalism isnt a side. Its a poison.
And doing anything other than calling it what it is, defining it and snuffing it out is simply unAmerican.

Sure hope JB's delivery service has records and will publish the info in an upcoming edition of his DC blog.
Did all of the participants originate in the Charlottesville area?
Were any of the concerned individuals bused into the area?
Has anyone preserved a copy of the instructions to the police?
My guess is that Paul Harvey would have a teaser: ...and now for the rest of the story.
I’m surprised by all these comments, didn’t you read she said it’s not up for debate
Well, his/her parents got it slightly wrong. Should have been "Petulant Dvorak."
The Charlottesville city council lit the torch trying to revise history for a bunch of snowflakes.
This already stinks, with pictures of the perp driving not matching the guy who was arrested. Regardless, of course he is an idiot, and of course he should be in jail, and of course it’s not about supremacy, it’s about rejecting self-hatred.
It’s possible this young man was in the wrong place at the wrong time and made a bad decision. I will wait for the facts.
Folks I am getting damned tired of this crap. The Democrats and the rest had an opportunity to bring the country together with a unifying speech and yet they continue vilify and continue to spread hate and make racist statements. Do they not realize that we are watching and hoping. Apparently not!
Where is a MLK when you need him.
I despise everything that the White Nationalist, the KKK, and the Nazis stand for. They are no better than BLM and their ilk from the left however at some point I may have to choose between white racists who don’t hate me and black racists who do. Very sad!
Maybe I’ll just pack up our belongings and head for the hills and never look back and not compromise my beliefs. Completely disconnect. And knowing history will help me to make the right decision at the right time.
Folks, this is how the Nazi’s gained power in Germany and we all know how truly evil they were and still are. Yes, the Democrats and their kind are creating a perfect environment for them and they don’t even know it.
May God help us!
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has called for civil war in the United States, demanding marching, blood and death in the streets until President Trump is dragged from office,
Can I get one fact out of all this racist BS swirling around? Weren’t the ‘whites’ protesting the removal of veteran Robert E. Lee’s statue from Charlottesville? Wasn’t that the original point?
I think we need to realize that when these writers lambast “White Supremacy” they really mean Western Civilization overall and not just the fringe Neo Nazis, Aryan Bros, Christian Identity, and other “Blood and Soil” organizations.
They want to silence any voice that defends concepts that came out of Western Judea Christian culture. Whether political, legal, moral, or educational. So lumping ideals such as defense of a country’s history warts and all as racism is necessary. Telling people that free speech is too dangerous in the hands of certain groups is also necessary. Make no mistake they want to pin the label of too dangerous on a very wide group of people. People who don’t believe as they believe and who threaten their version of Utopia.
That’s you and me and anyone who thinks this country is worth preserving under a system of government set up over 200 years ago. For them to have the unity they desire that system must collapse. Calling those who supported Trump and Trump himself racists fuels that collapse. And they know it.
Facts have no place in the America of NYT and WP.
Soros is referred to as the Demon by foreign h1B contractors in my company. They say he brings down countries. Trump’s main enemy is Soros. Most American co workers I know have never heard of him even though hes been after our country for 20 years (at least when I first noticed).
If not a false flag, then this is push back against Antifa. But somehow this is bad and Antifa are just fighting fascists and Nazis. The MSM is as much of an enemy as those actually fighting. More, probably. I hope to see more pushback against Antifa and the communist BLM.
Watcha gonna do, sugar? Watcha gonna do?
We’re done talking.
Good LORD! The media are so lost and effed up. All of them.
They’re the ones causing all of this. Period. This 24/7 non stop agitation and rioting has finally caused the push back they wanted.
The police and the city or university are at fault at these rallies for not keeping things under control and keeping opposite views separated. It should be safe for both Antifa and the Klan to demonstrate. if not, dont issue a permit to the second applicant and arrest the side that has none. But letting people face off in the street and yell and throw things at each other is a formula for tragedy.
the city had an obligation to establish adequate safety when they issue a permit or know a large crowd is coming to the city. laving the street open and letting people throw things at each other and yell from opposite sides of a narrow street is not adequate safety and this and other incidents prove it. So the city IS responsible to prevent such incidents. Any rookie cop would know that people have been driving crowds into cars all over the world and here in the states.
None of the precludes a jury from finding the driver guilty. but the officials are also culpable and the DOJ or state AG should be all over that investigation . In Cal when coulter was scheduled,the chancellor of UC should have been sent to jail along with the campus police chief or the Berkeley chief for failure to protect the public and the property of the university and the first amendment rights of the group that invited her and of course Ann herself. But the governor of Cal was too busy raising taxes and hugging trees.
if these crimes and ministerial negligence were dealt with the incidents would decrease.
Actually I believe it was so good old boys from the dmonrat party that lit the torch of white supremacy.
The Washington Post is why I no longer buy anything on Amazon if I can possibly avoid it. Walmart and Ebay are good substitutes.
I can’t seem to find any articles by this pos condemning the thugs in BLM for attacking innocent people leaving Trump rallies.
