    We don't always agree but this is spot on.

    Even at the height of Obama's outrages we weren't looking to destroy the country, we weren't out vandalizing property, shooting cops who "represent the system" or even trying to shut down rush hour traffic.

    We only wanted our rights and freedoms respected. In the meantime we were trying to accomplish that by working within the system (even when it was futile) and most of our time was spent working trying to pay our own way and provide for our families. That meant we were usually the one's stuck in traffic by idiot protestors who never worked a day in their lives.

    We don't want to fight a war of any kind, many of us actually understand what that would look like. We sure as shit don't want that to happen while we are trying to protect our loved ones, nobody wants their kid to have to fight that war.

    But after 8 years enough of us said "enough already", and amazingly it worked. But never forget this isn't a left / right war. We didn't elect McCain, we didn't elect Romney. Might be fair to say most people voted to prevent another President Clinton, but we also sure as shit didn't vote for Romney either.

    What we need to do is get our house in order or it's going to be a very short 4 years. That means Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and John McCain all need to have a tall glass of STFU and figure out what side they are on. That means don't try and defund planned parenthood (which probably prevents more abortions by providing cheap birth control than would otherwise be performed) while you are trying to dump Obamacare for something better. We all detested that "qualifying" health care plans had to provide women's health care regardless of if the person was even female, well that works both ways and if you try and eliminate things like planned parenthood completely you are going to polarize and unrealized majority and they will inaugurate some nightmare like Pelosi.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Don't underestimate the power and the interests of the Deep State, the real "Fake News" agencies and the moneyed groups behind the scenes. All of these are already at work fueling the rage of the useful idiots, if the latte left does not have the stomach for revolution well then then you might say "George Soros, importing the revolutionaries to to do the revolution American revolutionaries won't do", as a matter of fact they have already been doing so.

    The Fourth Estate has been the Fifth Column for the better part of the last century.

    Watch and compare the Trump interviews by ABC's David Muir and FOX's Sean Hannity just this past week. No journalist ever questioned Barry from Honolulu like Daivd Muir questioned Trump. In fact Hannity even made a commit to Trump that Obama would never even grant him an interview.

    Great article, thanks for the link.

    Just bear in mind even though there are many on the left who look like this . . .







    and this . . .








    The left have their Sturmabteilung (brown shirts) too . . .

    While many know about BLM and their militant murders of LEO's in NYC, Houston, Dallas, and Baton Rouge along with countless acts of looting, arson, shutting down highways, etc. many more have never heard of Antifa, their the anarchist clad in black burning limos, trash cans, and newspaper kiosks at Trump's inauguration.

    They are global and look who is starting to join their ranks.

    Days of Rage, by Bryan Burrough, is worth a read. It covers the activities of the radical left from the late 60s through the early 80s.
    The advice above is worth exactly what you paid for it.

    A person I went to school with wrote on his Facebook this morning that as long as Trump is in office, they will be ungovernable and that the riots are just a "warning shot".

    They will use the media to spin-up the rhetoric against Trump...and the media will willingly comply. But until they start competing with us for guns and ammo, they'll use their stashes of bongs and dildos against us...

    Why aren't we charging those who actually commit acts of political violence under federal domestic terrorism statutes?

    The DC rioters, including a female firefighter caught a bunch of felony riot charges but not a domestic terror charge to be found. Why is that?

    Thanks for mentioning Antifa. I was in the dark on this myself. Just read up on them. Surprised the national media isn't hailing them as heroes fighting to defend democracy.

    There won't be a war of any kind. Given some time from the inauguration, most of these protesters will lose interest and go back to business as usual. There will be protests, some burned cars and broken windows, but no organized resistance and certainly no armed resistance outside of a few BLM thugs continuing to wage their war on cops. Which of course has nothing to do with Trump...just an excuse to burn and loot.
