Random Politics & Religion #26

Ravael, The Federalist is pure opinion. I try to avoid quoting sources that are pure opinion like it or Slate.

Both the Huffington Post and the Drudge Report publish actual news. But if I find something of interest in either I try to source it from elsewhere. Preferably BBC or Reuters.

It's so sad how little people understand...

This is matrix like ***here, President Trump was an eventuality guaranteed after President Obama went full sock puppet and the Progressives dialed up their policy of social change. Outside candidates like Trump are what happens when a countries political system fails to keep itself in balance.

It's the fault of both the left and the right. The right ceased listening to moderate fiscal conservatives in favor of religious ideologues and warhawks. The left ceased listening to any reason at all and went full SJW on everyone. The result was a huge middle group of people feeling dissatisfied, disenfranchised and disillusioned with the current political system.

When that happens you will always get a populist candidate that the power structure hates. The newly elected leader will have a power struggle with the established old guard over who's really in charge of the system. Friction from this struggle will spawn dramatic events until one or the other is defeated.

What we are observing is this friction. The old guard is using every asset in their arsenal to attack the newly elected leader, that leader is fighting back using all their tactics and assets. It really is a life and death struggle, if the new leader wins the old guard is broken and gets replaced. If the old guard wins the leader is broken and they continue staying in power until challenged again or a civil war starts.

There is no such thing as pure news anymore. Most of it is either news drenched in opinion, or news spun and prettied up so that it is presented in an angle that is designed to not offend their side's opinion.

At least many of the opinion pieces treat themselves like opinion pieces. The mainstream news is just a masquerade.

The left continues to go 110% full potato in this 279th day since Trump was elected....

The Norks have backed down! Trump wins again!

Not as tasty as your tears about how you're denied first amendment rights when the government hasn't tried to silence you.

No I don't. Can you name just a single time where I brought up, supported, or even talked about these people outside the usual liberal talkingpoint?

Hate to break it to you but denying permits to assemble because you don't like the speech IS an assault on free speech bud.

So when you show up in armor with shields, batons and AR15s you screwed the pooch on proving your intent was having a peaceful assembly and not to incite violence.

Hate to break it to you but if your speech has the intent to incite violence it's not protected. See Beauharnais v. Illinois, Brandenburg v Ohio, R.A.V v. City of St. Paul and even the recent Snyder v Phelps to get an understanding on how and why.

It's a bit scary how Nausi devolved into a nazi over the years.

Actually....

That stuff isn't sufficient cause, especially if those involved have had a history of being attacked by other groups. You would need written statements to the effect that the protesting group was planning on inciting violence.

But hey proof and due process are just inconveniences for you these days.

I would welcome all attempts of hard left wingers here to "bash a fash" if they think Im a nazi.

I could use a good laugh.

Name checks out.
