EXCELLENT article. It gets to the heart of the matter.

"Charlottesville is what happens when civil society fails."

Democrats need to take an honest look at...

LOL. Sure...

In fifty years I haven't seem them take an "honest" look at anything.

Either all racism is bad. Or all racism is acceptable.


That’s good to know. I’ll take door number two.
If someone calls you a racist, say, “So what?”

As long as the left sees that what is happening now works to advance their agenda, they will keep on doing it. When they see that is is not working for them, they will double up. But, they will not quit.

Law and order seems like a big part of the cure for this. Arrest ALL of their violent and disordered loser butts and if they aren’t jailed make sure that there is plenty of community service to be done putting the communities back together that they destroy which will leave them unavailable to wreck havoc elsewhere.

It’s easy to see where this is going; one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.

We’re looking at a huge disaster if this isn’t brought under control.

Of course, this is the sort of insane revolution that Obama and the agitators fostered and are counting on.

No they aren't, they might think they are, but they are just too stupid to realize the consequences of what they believe.

If they got what they think they wanted, it would burn them up like chaff in a furnace. Idiot socialists are always unleashing forces they don't understand and cannot control.

“We’re looking at a huge disaster if this isn’t brought under control.”

Why would you consider an all out civil war between the left and the right a disaster?

Surely you know who would write the history of that war.

It would not be like the first Civil War where you had two sides nearly evenly matched.

In martial terms, the American Left and Right are not even close to evenly matched...more like 10-1.

Two months and it’s over.

"We’re looking at a huge disaster if this isn’t brought under control."

And it must be brought under control before it reaches the "point of no return." In my opinion, that point of no return is when a sufficient segment of the population can take the issue personal, and that usually takes place when a member or members of their families have been killed by an identifiable enemy.

We are currently witnessing the beginning of a Communist Revolution right here on the streets of the U.S.A., and the "Useful Idiots" of this revolution is, of course, our African American population that will probably be destroyed in this Communist Revolution turned "Race War."

Perhaps. I’d prefer you were correct.

Oftentimes, once these things start, they’re hard to shut down.

Nevertheless, barring a major attack by terrorists or some such, this society is not calming down.

I mention terrorists because a good portion of the country is distracted by all this insurgency - not surprisingly.

Yes. And I repeat, this is no accident. There are forces that know EXACTLY what they are trying to do. This is every bit about destroying the U.S.A. as a nation.

The idiots are the cannon-fodder in the streets; your run-of-the-mill, CNN-believing liberal SJW.

This is the best article I’ve read on this. Greenfield is brilliant, as usual.

The big questions are 1) WHY do a core cadre of leftists WANT communism / totalitarianism when it has failed everywhere, 2) HOW such a small part of the population has gained such outsized control against normal people (the usual hangers-on and useful idiots of all stripes are enabling this leftist takeover), and 3) how in the world can this be stopped?

We are doomed unless people are once again put in power who want to preserve the Union, people like the judge and jury who found anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti guilty and executed then seven years after conviction (both men adhered to an anarchist movement that advocated relentless warfare against a violent and oppressive government); people like Atty General Alexander Palmer who deported anarchists; FBI Directors like Hoover; and Senators like Joe McCarthy and Representatives like Richard Nixon who vigorously fought communism in Congress.

Our current AG is standing idly by and watching the coming apart of America on his watch.

“””Two months and it’s over.”””

And, then what? Will those on the government dole go out and find jobs? Will the illegal aliens pack up and leave? Will the antifa put down their weapons? Will the millions of people on medicare buy insurance?

Will the snowflakes suddenly grow spines?

Yes! A fine article.

The take away phrase, for me... “the extremists want to eliminate consensus..”.

This consensus killing is an imperative that is behind the of re-defining of words and the re-writing of history. These dark forces are stoking division, chaos and confusion in common understanding, aimed toward destroying America and her traditions.

Killing Christianity was first on the list and public education. The fruit of that accomplishment is everywhere seen.
