On Civility of Political Differences

Rep. Waters, You Are Sullying Martin Luther King’s Legacy

 

 

To me, a black man who has lived in the South most of my life, strategies like Rep. Maxine Waters’ sound more like that of the segregationists than those of our civil rights heroes and heroines.

 

What Lincoln Foresaw Would Occur If Maxine Waters, Others Got Their Way With Mob Justice

 

 

In 1836, Lincoln said, “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

The Next Real Threat Is Closer Than You Realize

With Pres. Trump initiating talks with North Korea's Kim Jung Un most of the public believes that, should it result in signed accords to end hostilities between our nation and theirs, our greatest threat will have been neutralized.

Wrong!

Most people aren't aware - because the mainstream press is too busy making up fake assertions about Trump and his people who support his agenda to make our country prosperous again - that our neighbors to the south are about to elect a socialist for their president who most likely will take the country into darker territory politically.

Dick Morris reports in his "Lunch Alert" and in Breitbart today that this will be the case very soon, while Victor Davis Hanson has written a new article about the same topic.

So, what's going on? Is there a long range plan afoot? I wouldn't put it past the liberal leftists in way!

Given the rhetoric and actions of leftists in our country over the recent past, it seems to me that there may well be a connection of sorts here, if not an outright possibility of a long range plan to overthrow our country.

Knowing how the Democrats have evolved over the last decade, I wouldn't be surprised if information is ever uncovered that they are in league with this political development shifting in Mexico with their rabid support of open borders when it comes to the issue of immigration.

Why would the Democrats be so adamant about taking our guns away from law abiding citizens? Oh, I don't know, but it doesn't take much of a stretch to figure it out in light of this news.

Who's The Target Audience?

When watching this latest video from Prager U titled, "American Media, Soviet Tactics", it's obvious that those who support Pres. Trump already understand this message all too clearly. 

Those who supported either Hillary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders, or are rabid leftists wanting to make the country a socialist utopia, also understand this message.

The great hoard of the public who either don't care about politics, don't bother making the effort to pay attention to what's really going on by applying degree of critical analysis to the situation, or form their opinion on the bits and pieces they hear from a variety of sources; friends, news outlets they happen to watch or catch passing by, are the ones this message is really for.

These swing voters are those who will make the difference in the coming election(s). But, they won't necessarily have to watch this video when the impact of much of Pres. Trump's policies surface to the point of being noticed; like their tax cut/take home pay increase, the availability of jobs, etc, some of which will most likely take years before it's actually noticeable.

Hyperbole Run Amuck!

Hyperbole run amuck. Never mind the truth behind the issue, just use emotional ploys to stir up the ignorant masses for your political agenda.

Here's a perfect example of hyperbole turned on its head. 

M.L.K. Jr. NEVER was promoting uncivil or confrontational actions. It was the Bull Conners and George Wallaces of the day who were being confrontational and uncivil to those who were peacefully and respectfully demand civil rights.

The ending remarks of this woman reveals her ignorance of the facts of that day's activities in the civil rights movement and is injecting socialist/communist style rhetoric into the issue which was never part of that movement.

I just wish the leftists would do their own research about what their "leader" said only a few years ago about immigrants and their children. See below...

Political Opportunism & Misdirection

The leftist politicians - with the help of their willing accomplices in the media - are masters at concocting an issue to tug at the emotional heart strings of the public while having absolutely no remorse over having totally ignored the multitude of situations of children being separated from their parents in everyday situations, or having created the welfare state which, for decades now, has incentivized separating the father from the homes of millions of black mothers just to get the per child funds.

This video by Brittany Hughes of MRC-TV's Reality Check, makes the point succinctly.

But, just for contrast, let's look at what happened during Obama's administration regarding the actions of I.C.E. and Homeland Security agencies. And, of course, the Media gives these facts no mention now!

No more needs to be said.

I.G.'s Report Finds "No Bias"?

For those with no inclination to read the complete 568-page Inspector General's report, here are some  excerpts.

Surely there was NO BIAS!  Interestingly, I knew we were all irredeemable deplorables, but I didn't know we were POS (pieces of s##t) until reading the comment at page  417.  And I had no idea we actually emitted foul smells at Walmart. . . The good news there is that they have no idea who the Trump base really is. . .

There's much more in the report, including one agent trying to get his son a job with the Hillary campaign, but the following is enough to show that there was likely at least a smidgen of  bias.  The unanswered question here is:  "Where are the pro-Trump and/or anti-Hillary text messages?"  Easy answer: There are none!  Case solved!

It's my understanding from following this carefully for several months now, that, for the November 9th texts are FBI employee = Peter Strzok, while FBI attorney = Lisa Page; his mistress.

 

IG Report, page 400

August 26, 2016, Strzok: “Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support....

October 19, 2016, Strzok: “I am riled up. Trump is a fucking idiot, is unable to provide a coherent answer.”

November 7, 2016, Strzok: Referencing an article entitled “A victory by Mr. Trump remains possible,” 

Strzok stated, “OMG THIS IS F*CKING TERRIFYING.”

Page 403

August 8, 2016: In a text message on August 8, 2016, Page stated, “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”

Strzok responded, “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it."

Page 409

September 2, 2016: . . . 09:50:29, Page: “Yes, bc potus wants to know everything we are doing.”

Page 413

In a December 6, 2016 exchange, Agent 5 complained to Agent 1 about being required to be on call on the day of the presidential inauguration. In the middle of expressing displeasure about this, Agent 5 sent a message to Agent 1 that stated, “fuck trump.” 

On February 9, 2017, in the context of an FBI employee
receiving a presidential award for public service, Agent 5 messaged, “...I think now that trump is the president, i’d refuse it. it would be an insult to even be considered for it.”

Page 417

November 9, 2016. . . 

09:55:35, FBI Employee: “I can’t stop crying.”
10:00:13, FBI Attorney 2: “That makes me even more sad.”
10:43:20, FBI Employee: “Like, what happened?”
10:43:37, FBI Employee: “You promised me this wouldn’t happen. YOU PROMISED.”

. . .

10:51:48, FBI Attorney 2: “I am so stressed about what I could have done differently.”

10:54:29, FBI Employee: “Don’t stress. None of that mattered.”
10:54:31, FBI Employee: “The FBI’s influence.”
10:59:36, FBI Attorney 2: “I don’t know. We broke the momentum.”
11:00:03, FBI Employee: “That is not so.”
11:02:22, FBI Employee: “All the people who were initially voting for her would not, and were not, swayed by any decision the FBI put out.
Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. They probably didn’t watch the debates, aren’t fully educated on his policies,
and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm.”

Page 418

11:11:43, FBI Attorney 2: “I’m just devastated. I can’t wait until I can leave today and just shut off the world for the next four days.”
11:12:06, FBI Employee: “Why are you devastated?”
11:12:18, FBI Employee: “Yes, I’m not watching tv for four years.”
11:14:16, FBI Attorney 2: “I just can’t imagine the systematic disassembly of the progress we made over the last 8 years. ACA is gone. Who knows if the rhetoric about deporting people, walls, and crap is true. I honestly feel like there is going to be a lot more gun
issues, too, the crazies won finally. This is the tea party on steroids. And the GOP is going to be lost, they have to deal with an incumbent in 4 years. We have to fight this again. Also Pence is stupid.”
11:14:58, FBI Employee: “Yes that’s all true.”

11:15:01, FBI Attorney 2: “And it’s just hard not to feel like the FBI caused some of this. It was razor thin in some states.”
11:15:09, FBI Employee: “Yes it was very thin.”
11:15:23, FBI Attorney 2: “ Plus, my god damned name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff.”

Here's Tucker Carlson's show for 6/15/18, the day after the I.G.'s report was released. Quite the show! 

And here is Tuesday, June 20th's House Hearing questioning of the I.G. Horowitz by Congressman Trey Gowdy, who is the Chair of the Committee. (Note that @ the 7:20 point & then the 12:45 point, Gowdy begins to make very direct observations regarding the bias Horowitz couldn't seem to find any evidence of regarding bias.

Falling Into the Same Trap

Too many times over the past several years I've seen examples of liberals labeling conservatives with broad terms that apply to anyone who doesn't think the same way they do; claiming we're racist, fascist, bigots who only deserve to be annihilated for committing "hate crimes".

But Prager U's most recent video about progressive ideology at colleges and universities seems to clearly fall into the same trap of the left's broad stroked accusations in "Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Kids".

Here's what the introduction to the video states:

You are currently funding some dangerous people. These people are indoctrinating young minds throughout the West with their ideology that’s built on resentment. In this video, Jordan Peterson, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, explains who they are and how American parents and taxpayers have found themselves funding this dangerous gang of nihilists.

While I agree with the concepts and  claims presented, I disagree with the fact that he fails to point out that there are still a few exceptions of conservative, or surviving "Kennedy type Democrats", who understand our freedoms and liberties are in danger from these nihilists who've infiltrated our institutions of higher learning. 

These rare individuals with the fortitude to stand up against such threats to free speech and diversity of ideas have been under attack for defending our long held values by these very people. Yet, this fact is completely ignored in this video.

Why do I make this point? Because, as a conservative all my life, I experienced this circumstance as a career educator. I watched it creep into the K-12 level of our public school over the length of my 30 years in the classroom. It was disturbing to watch as administrators gradually eradicated our long held values in exchange for producing the "snowflakes" and "sheeple" which now dominate our social situation today, rather than the reasoning, critical thinkers who understand the concepts behind our country being the magnet to the rest of the world's people.

Socialist/Communists have long practiced implementing five, ten, and twenty-five year plans with specific goals to accomplish within a certain period. This evil force appears to have successfully managed to destroy much of our American culture developed over the last two hundred years.

Whether our current leader and his administration will succeed in stopping this movement is something only time will reveal. 

BTW... for a different perspective of falling into the same trap, I highly recommend watching this video. It will make you think where our culture is going.
