How Can We Learn from the Past If We Erase History?

Removing monuments from the Civil War to erase history is a mistake. This won’t be a popular opinion, and I’m okay with that. Because for now, we still have freedom of speech. While I can understand why some people would strongly disagree, I’d like to respectfully offer a different perspective. My opinion that those monuments should be left alone isn’t because I support the horrible things that have been done in our history. It’s exactly the opposite. Every country’s history has a dark spot in it. More than one, if we’re being honest. But the fact that we aren’t still mired in those dark places means that we have made strides toward becoming ...
Antifa Flag Comes Directly From The German Communist Party In 1932

Everything these Alt-Left thugs use today is exactly the same as back then. Their logo, weaponized words, double standards and lack of logic. Its all from Germany 85 years ago. They call everyone Nazis because that is who their opposition in Germany was. Antifa prefaced The National Socialist German Workers’ Party and empowered them. Without Antifa’s violence the Nazi party would have never won anything. On the Left, the 1932 flag of the paramilitary wing of the Communist Party of Germany. On the Right, the 2017 flag of the paramilitary wing of the Democratic Party of America.Antifaschistische Aktion The first German movement to call itself Antifaschistische Aktion was ...
Fox's Shep Smith: We couldn't find a Republican willing to come on and defend Trump

(A video of the little pansy is at the link) Fox News host Shepard Smith said Wednesday that the network tried and failed to get a Republican on-air to defend President Trump's controversial comments on violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend "Our booking team — and they're good — reached out to Republicans of all stripes across the country today," Smith said on his show "Shepard Smith Reporting." "Let's be honest, Republicans don't often really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn't get anyone to come and defend him here because we thought, in balance, someone should do that," he continued. "We worked ...
Fox News Host Eboni K. Williams on Receiving Death Threats After Segment Criticizing Trump

Eboni K. Williams had never received anything like the responses she garnered after she aired her grievances with President Trump while on-air on “The Fox News Specialists.” The co-host addressed Trump on Monday in her “Eboni’s Docket” segment, which she writes herself, berating him for failing to specify white nationalist groups in his condemnation of the violence that occurred at Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. She told Variety in an interview on Wednesday that her personal website, which usually receives an average of 10-15 emails after each segment, was inundated with over 150 emails, only three of which were anything other than “seething, ...
Police Won't Say Whether Cops Caught Fabricating Charges Were Disciplined

In Hartford, Connecticut, three state troopers stopped Michael Picard at a sobriety checkpoint in 2015, confiscating his pistol, pistol permit, and camera, according to a lawsuit Picard has now filed. The troopers also told him (falsely) that recording them was illegal, but they weren't aware the camera was continuing to record after they took it. On the video, they can reportedly be heard calling a local cop to ask if they had any "grudges" against Picard, who they knew to have organized a previous protest at the state capitol. After learning that the permit was valid, one of the troopers told the other two they had to "cover" themselves, and another responded, ...
Speeding is Good for You

Speeding, like exercise, is good for you. It is lack of motion in both cases that ends up causing problems.This is no joke.First of all, “speeding” does not mean driving excessively fast. That is the shibboleth, the cliche, the tired and formulaic claptrap used to justify the roadside ritual of mulcting drivers almost at will – because nearly every driver “speeds” at least a little bit every time he goes for a drive. That is to say, he drives in excess of the posted speed limit – which is always set to ensure exactly that. Fish in a barrel. It’s odd that this fact – obvious to all – largely goes by without any raising of hands, if not ...
Federal managers have some bad news for government workers

The Office of Personnel Management has been fielding some unusual and uncomfortable questions from federal departmental managers this summer according to Government Executive. It seems that a terrible bit of reality is dawning on them at last and they need some professional assistance in figuring out how to perform a management function which most of them have never experienced before. They’re going to have to start laying some people off, and for much of Washington, DC, that’s a completely foreign concept. Federal agency managers are privately telling members of the Trump administration they will soon lay off employees, according to Office of Personnel Management officials, and ...
Let Ukraine Defend Itself [just don't drag NATO into it]

Say an expert tells you that if you don’t follow his advice, the world or a substantial part of it might go up in flames. You do nothing, and two years later no fire is apparent — but the same expert returns, offering the same advice. Would you take his suggestion the second time around? That is roughly the position of those who argue that we must arm Ukraine. Two years ago the Brookings Institution put out a proposal for arming Ukraine and warned that failing to do so could bring about “worldwide conflagration.” If you haven’t noticed, most of us are still walking about. Casey Michel, writing here at National Review, disputes my characterization of Ukraine ...
How The Alt-Right Won The Battle Over Charlottesville

17 Comments
The alt-right is a movement of people united by the common premise that white people deserve an identity politics of their own, and that Western civilization is inherently tied with white ethnicity. They’re not a major movement; they’re a fringe group. They’re extraordinarily loud on social media; they abuse their enemies, worship their perceived friends, and generate the feeling that they are far more of a powerful force than they actually are. Over the weekend, they went to Charlottesville for the same reason they’ve gone to cities around the country: to gain attention. More specifically, they had three goals in mind. First, the alt-right wanted to grow its ranks by ...

Steve Bannon argued Wednesday that President Trump would benefit politically from his much-criticized response to the violent Charlottesville, Va., rally organized by white nationalists, claiming that liberals are engaging in "race-identity politics." "President Trump, by asking, ‘Where does this all end,' connects with the American people about their history, culture and society," Bannon told the New York Times in an interview Wednesday. "The race-identity politics of the left wants to say it's all racist," Bannon, the White House chief strategist, added. "Just give me more. Tear down more statues. Say the revolution is coming.

After watching the events of the last 7 or 8 days surrounding the Charlottesville riots, it's come to my attention that 99% of the tactics that these anti-Trump groups use in their protests are absolute fascism. So, we have groups like ANTIFA, whose stated mission is to fight fascism, engaging in fascist tactics to get their message across. I'm only 32, but I've never been more disgusted with politics in my entire life. Thoughts?

PayPal is making it clear that hate isn't welcome on its platform. The online payments processor said it works to make sure its services aren't used to accept payments or donations that promote hate, violence or racial intolerance, according to a blog post on Tuesday night. That includes groups that encourage racist views, such as the KKK and white-supremacist organizations.

Robert E Lee himself was opposed to Confederate Monuments
Post Date: 2017-08-16 18:30:42 by Willie Green
26 Comments
The violence that erupted in Charlottesville over the weekend, which left one woman killed and dozens more injured, stemmed from a white nationalist and alt-right protest over the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Debates about the removal of Confederate statues have been ongoing for many years, and opponents of removing the monuments often decry such attempts as an attempt to erase history. In light of all this, it's probably best to remember one relevant historical fact: Robert E. Lee was opposed to Confederate monuments. “It’s often forgotten that Lee himself, after the Civil War, opposed ...

Why The Destruction Of The Durham Confederate Monument Is So Despicable

Ever since the Charleston Church shooting, the Left has been obsessed with purging every element of Confederate iconography in this country. No flag, statue, or bumper sticker has been safe. They want it all gone. The fact that most people who sport the Confederate flag aren’t racist at all, and merely view the flag as a totem of southern pride, matters not. The fact that statues of Confederate soldiers and generals are a part of our history, also doesn’t matter. To people who view everything in life through the lens of race and oppression, these symbols are offensive and must be erased.This irrational rage culminated this week after the protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, which ...

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com “This is not about racial healing or racial unity when you see property being destroyed,” Ingraham said. “That’s not what it’s about.

President Trump Needs To Stop Breaking The Law Over Obamacare Like Obama Did

Over the last several months, this space has highlighted that President Trump has an opportunity and a challenge: Restoring the constitutional rule of law his predecessor often ignored. Such a move would require ending the Obama administration’s ad hoc rewriting of Obamacare, implementing the law as written—no more, no less. Into that debate stepped the Conservative Action Project on Friday, with a memo noting that the president can and should lead on Obamacare. The title suggests a continuation of Obama’s “pen and a phone” mentality, emphasizing executive unilateralism in the face of Congress’ inability to pass “repeal-and-replace” legislation ...

In reviewing the latesst issue of the New American wherein is published the Freedom Index I find the facts most appaling.

Amash of Michigan is the only other one that has supported it 90% of the time. All the rest have violated their oath of office. Moving on to the senate we find only two believe in supporting the Constitution all of the time. They are Paul of Kentucky at 100% and Lee of Utah with 90% This, friends, is a national disgrace that all the rest swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United ...

New York (AFP) - US President Donald Trump sparked another political firestorm Tuesday when he doubled down on his initial response to the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville that ended in bloodshed, saying there was "blame on both sides." The Republican president -- who one day ago solemnly denounced racism and singled out the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis as "criminals and thugs" -- also hit out at what he called the "alt-left" over the weekend melee. Trump has faced days of criticism from across the political spectrum over his reaction to Saturday's unrest in the Virginia college town, where a rally by neo-Nazis and white supremacists over ...
