Where we are as a nation right now....

Well the left has done a truly stunning job bringing the crazies out. As evidence I offer the fact that some idiot just set himself on fire in front of the White House.

I used to go trolling at DU. There was a guy over there who registered under the screen name "Preacher" and got banned after one post IIRC.

Thousands of people have been banned after one post. Really all it does is give them an astronomical membership number and make them seem like a big deal forum.

I used to raid them with reality back in 2000 but after awhile I realized there was nobody on the fence, contrary opinions would simply be filtered out and I was wasting my time.

I say we should encourage more of his ilk to follow his lead.

Self-immolation - political protest

Among the things that self-immolation has been used to protest in the US and Europe:
-Inefficiency and corruption at the VA
-Family court injustice and the lack of father's rights
-Communist rule in East Germany
-Communist rule in Ukraine
-Communist rule in Lithuania
-Communist rule in Romania
-Communist rule in Czechoslovakia
-Polish participation in Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia
-Soviet/communist whitewashing of the Katyn massacre
-Military rule in Greece
-Ethnic cleansing in the Balkans
-The spread of Islam in Europe

And this is in addition to the usual and more global protests against the persecution of Buddhists by Ngô Đình Diệm, against Communist rule in Tibet and China, Taiwanese independence, wars, civil wars, &c., &c., &c.

So, yes. Those idiots.

What have you sacrificed for a cause lately?

Are you really putting the liberal whackjob who burned himself because "Orange Man Bad" at the same level as the ones who were willing to die for a cause? Please...

I don't think you need to worry about my sacrifices.

Sounds like at some point, we will be forced to pick a side.....”I am a Republican” or “I am a Democrat” won’t be good enough. Might even be...”Are you a Leftist or a Fascist?” I hope not.

Ocasio-Cortez backs boycott of New York Post over cover attacking Ilhan Omar

But she said the paper’s coverage of her is not the reason she tweeted an endorsement of the Post boycott over the weekend.

“It can be annoying or agitating, but I didn't call for this when they were going after me,” Ocasio-Cortez said about the Post’s coverage of her record in Congress.

Rather, she says she was motivated by the paper’s front page cover last week highlighting Omar’s controversial reference to the Sept. 11 terror attack as a case of “somebody did something.”

“‘Here’s your something,’” screamed the Post’s front page cover over a photograph of the Twin Towers in flames on 9/11.

That “was just beyond the pale, you know?” Ocasio-Cortez said on “Skullduggery.” “There’s aggressive politics. There's people that won't be fair to you and things like that, and I understand that that's part of the field that comes with it. But, you know, I think that this is unacceptable.”

I've got your something beyond the fvcking pale - someone attacked our country and killed 3,550 Americans you simple bitch, what about that don't you understand?

“And also I think it is important to, to assert that I didn't call for a boycott of the New York Post,” she said. “What I'm, I'm amplifying, I'm amplifying organizing that's happening on the ground, and I, I do think that there's a substantive difference between the two.”
