No, Jim, what you originally wrote was NOT limited to the excerpt you refer to.
Your ENTIRE argument was focused exclusively upon what you called “the Lying Left”.
Quoting you:
“The Delusional Lying Left are purveyors of
- racism,
- anti-semitism,
- Nazi/fascist violence and
- Jacobean reign of terror,
but wants you to instead focus on nits like The John Birch Society.”
AND
“The Enemy Within is the Lying Left that has abandoned the Constitution and whose goal is Global Totalitarian Government. The Dems are the Obvious Left while the GOP is Left Light.”
AND
“The Second American Revolution is to defeat the tyranny of the Left and REINSTATE the Constitution as the Rule of Law and Supreme Law of the land over the central government and thereby RECOVER our Free Constitutional Republic.”
Consequently, my subsequent comments are entirely accurate. You want us to totally ignore EVERYTHING that does not fit into your paradigm.
The basic problem with your approach is that political extremists (left or right) seek out targets of opportunity to exploit. The ONLY chance that right-wing extremists have to accomplish anything of substance in our country is if people like yourself convince Americans that we should totally ignore political extremism which originates from the right-side of the political spectrum.
As I mentioned in a previous message:
1. First, an extremist organization may have only a small or modest size membership (i.e. dues paying and regularly active people) BUT, typically, there are 10 times that many “state-of-mind” supporters/sympathizers.
2. Second, an activist group (even if relatively small) can easily cause problems in local communities. For example, when the JBS came into existence, there were numerous reports of local controversies involving JBS members attacking teachers, libraries, PTA’s, public speakers, etc.
3. Political extremist groups (left or right) are opportunistic and attack vulnerable targets and try to mold public opinion about specific issues and controversies. If they disseminate FALSE information, they can warp our decision-making or cause us to adopt policies which exacerbate legitimate problems.
4. Lastly, many people do not know that many very wealthy and influential people associated themselves with the JBS — including several billionaires. Regardless of how many members an extremist organization has — if it has extraordinary financial resources — it can be disproportionately effective at spreading its poison.
This was a month ago. As I recall you were trying to split hairs about something and missing the overall point that the Left, not the JBS, is the threat today to our society and well being.
Do “right-wing extremists” exist? Of course they do, but the Lying Left calls American patriots, “right-wing extremists”. Is the JBS a “right-wing extremists” group? Maybe. Are they the threat you and the Left think we should focus on? Absolutely not. If you got rid of the JBS today, it wouldn’t effectively change a thing.
Focusing on the REAL problem - the “clear and present danger” - is NOT denying there are other problems or issues. But if you treat minor or secondary problems with the same focus and energy as major problems, you’ll lose - you don’t have unlimited energy or resources. You’ve got to mobilize your limited forces and energy on where the real threat is. That is NOT denying there are other problems but for now, relatively minor problems like the JBS should be on the back burner.
The point you miss is the Lying Left wants you to focus on “right-wing extremists” so you’ll get your eyes off of today’s REAL problem: the Lying Left. You seem to be accommodating them very well.
While you’re contemplating that, contemplate this: the list of the Top 10 leftist groups leading the “Trump resistance movement” and wreaking havoc across America. The JBS pales in comparison to this threat. http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/top-10-leftist-groups-wreaking-havoc-across-u-s-sabotaging-trump/
These delusional, hypocritical, and dangerous Lying Leftist groups represent the REAL hate, scare, intimidation and violent tactics of Jacobin Reign of Terror, Nazi fascists, Communist thugs. They are the REAL enemies of America and must be opposed with force by our police and punished by our courts.
1. Workers World Party (WWP) - a hard-core Marxist-Leninist group, have appeared at anti-monument and anti-Trump events across America. The party was founded in 1959 by a group led by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party. It has supported the Weather Underground Organization and had a strong presence in the Black Lives Matter movement.
2. Color of Change –has launched a new petition titled, “Take Em ALL Down: Remove Every Confederate Symbol in America.” It has also called on members of Congress to remove all Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol Statuary Hall. It and its parent organization, Citizen Engagement Laboratory, has received $550,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundation since 2009, according to Activist Facts.
3. Onward Together - Launched by Hillary Clinton in May after her failed bid for the White House, Onward Together is a political action organization that seeks to be “part of the resistance” against President Trump by funding many of the leftist activists organizing against the administration. Clinton reportedly sent $800,000 from her presidential campaign funds to Onward Together on May 1.
4. Indivisible - their parent company, The Action Network, which was involved in the Ferguson protests, is located at the same Washington, D.C., address as the George Soros-funded United We Dream, which has organized anti-Trump protests on college campuses, the Washington Free Beacon reported. “Members of the [Indivisible] movement have caused representatives to flee town halls and, at times, cancel public events altogether,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “They’re corralled constituents, visited district offices and made phone calls en masse demanding answers.” Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz. stated, “Groups called ‘Resistance,’ ‘Stronger Together,’ ‘Indivisible,’ ‘We Are the People,’ and ‘We Feel the Bern’ are far left front groups determined to inflict the kind of violence that we have seen before,” Rep. Schweikert wrote. “These groups believe that even Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are too moderate. They drive a radical social agenda and will stop at no turn to ‘clash with police,’ ‘incite violence,’ ‘light cars on fire,’ ‘incite mass arrests,’ and ‘use men, women, and children, and families to mass confusion.”
5. MoveOn.org - funded by billionaire George Soros, this far-left group funds other radical and violent far-left groups focused on pushing the impeachment of Trump that claims it has 8 million members across America. in March 2016, Roger Stone, a friend of President Trump, claimed MoveOn.org helped organize a protest against Trump at Trump Tower, “Infiltrating the crowd, I learned most were from MoveOn or the Occupy movement,” Stone wrote in the Daily Caller. “Soap was definitely in short supply in this crowd. Several admitted answering a Craig’s List ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.”
6. AntiFa - a black-clad, bandanna and helmet-wearing group of self-described anarchists and revolutionary communists known for violence and threats. In February 2017, Antifa activists rioted and set the University of California at Berkeley campus on fire, causing $100,000 in damages. They threw rocks through windows and forced the cancellation of a speech by Milo Yiannopoulos. On Aug. 27, approximately 4,000 Antifa agitators and other leftists shut down a “No to Marxism” rally and prayer vigil being held by about 400 conservative Christians in Berkeley, California. The San Francisco Chronicle, which had reporters on the scene, referred to the Antifa crowd as anarchists, stating, “The masked… anarchists chased away the right-wingers, and in one case four or five pummeled a man with fists and sticks before a radio host for Reveal, Al Letson, jumped in to shield the victim. Anarchists also attacked reporters who documented their actions.”
7. By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) – an Antifa-linked group that helps organize the fiery riots with AntiFa that includes violence, destruction of property, throwing firebombs and commercial-grade fireworks at police and slamming metal barricades against buildings.
8. UltraViolet – an ultra-left feminist group dedicated to disruption, as organizer Melissa Byrne did recently on the second floor of Trump Tower, received $65,000 from MoveOn.org Political Action in 2016. MoveOn.org is a far left group funded by billionaire George Soros.
9. Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) - a Chicago-based organization of socialists, anarchists and Marxists with ties to the Triangle People’s Assembly, Industrial Workers of the World and Democratic Socialists of America, clashed with police on May 20 while protesting a permitted remembrance of “Confederate Memorial Day” in Graham, North Carolina. Two IWW members were charged with assaulting the sheriff and police officers.
10. Organizing for Action (OFA) - the community organizing group that formed from Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and Organizing for America, has offered “online trainings.” In a February Facebook post, OFA urged activists to reference the Indivisible guide for tips on crashing lawmakers’ townhalls across America. The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers. Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says. “Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition,” the document states, “because these actions create the impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents.”
