Back to today's violent protesters. Just ask the police who they would rather see protest -- the right or the left.
What is it a part of our faith that NAFTA is an unfair trade agreement? Once again, you continue to make logical errors.

The discussion was about how the media condones violence on the left, yet blames the right. NAFTA was just a distraction.

See any news reports from Wash DC protests over the weekend?

Once again, let me restate my position -- I disagree with all KKK and white supremacy gatherings and messaging, though they do have 1st Amendment rights in the US, so let them protest, and ignore them.

ANTIFA however uses this as a guise for violence. Who out there is condemning their actions? Media? Democrats? ANTIFA attacks black police officers as KKK white supremacists. Does that make sense?

The facts point to a simple conclusion -- ANTIFA is the real danger to America. They are anarchists, pure and simple. The media often promotes their cause. Democrats incite them. Most law enforcement refuse to arrest them. Most courts do not file charges against them.


Then zeek deceptively digs up 25 year old stats using the OKC bombing (anti-govt backlash for Waco and Ruby Ridge) to "prove" that today Portland "Patriot Prayer" and such are more violent.

Violence against police and journalists doing their jobs is wrong. Vox documented it.
"Antifa clashes with police and journalists in Charlottesville and DC
Antifa says it fights fascists and neo-Nazis. But this weekend, members attacked cops and journalists." https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/...nite-the-right

Are you now actually beginning to understand that ANTIFA has little to do with supposed anti-racism, and has everything to do with anarchy and the rule of law? The message coming out of Charlottesville last year was merely a ruse to attack Trump.

Look at ANTIFA's chants and messaging:
  • Antifa Chants Death to America: ‘No Borders! No Wall! No USA at All!’
  • Antifa Counter-Protester Rages Against D.C. Police: ‘You’re All Ameri-KKK, Fascist Pieces of Sh*t!’

FACT CHECK: Brit Hume Claims That The Number Of Unaccompanied Minors Dwarfs The Number Separated At The Border
Quote:
“I wonder if the journalists working this story are aware that the overwhelming majority of immigrant minors separated from their families arrived at the border without families,” he tweeted Wednesday.

“There are far more children separated from parents who arrive that way then there are children separated at the border,” he elaborated in a tweet Thursday.

Verdict: True
Yet 50% of Americans believe the initial lies that were spread.

Even supposedly "enlightened, unbiased, Christian" posters here on the forum still believe these lies.

Why? Simple. Hatred for Trump has blinded them.

This story has been repeated a hundred times the last two years.

This appears to me to just be an asinine attempt to attack what you perceive to be liberals out here ... and everywhere.

Why is it when evidence reaches you to change your point of view about Trump you see it as an "attack" on all liberals?

This to me is a little scary. What frightens the liberals the most is the truth. When it comes to the unending media smear campaign against Trump, you gleefully gulp in down. When ... Over time ... The actual facts become known, then you become fearful.

C'mon, man. You know what the Bible says. "Whatever a man sows he will also reap." Trump sows hate. So, it shouldn't be surprising to you that that's what he reaps.

C'mon man you know what the Bible says. "The god of this age has blinded their minds."

The Dems, the Obama deep state intelligentia, and the media have mounted a coup since the day Trump won the Republican nomination.

All the facts confirm what I have been saying. To disprove my statement all you need to do is show me one piece of evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election.

Are you also blaming Trump "hate" for the firing of Strzok, who exonerated Clinton and launched the investigation into Trump?
