I'm Done With The Left's Nonsense

This is gonna end up like prison, bud. You will HAVE to pick as side to survive. It has been practiced time and time again.

Yup. This is how people are when stuff starts to get ugly. This is a bummer to admit, but my brother is a lifer in the California state prison system. In prison, if you don't pick a side, you WILL be alone, vulnerable, and probably end up dead eventually because you didn't pick a side. Sadly, it goes down by race.

One may say, well, that's prison, and those people are bad people, etc. For the most part, that's true (although, if they weren't bad when they got in, they'll turn bad eventually because it's a jungle). But this is what happens to people when they are in a cage.....or a sick society. People will clump together for safety, and are drawn to those who feel as they do.

Thank you for this post. I simply can't understand what the hell is going on in the US today. So, we're fighting hatred and oppression with more hatred and oppression? Sure seems like it to me.

Destroying history is vile. So horrible. I'm sickened when I think of the parallels with Muslim extremists destroying the cultures of others they believe to be offensive to themselves.

How did this country sink so low? I remember just a few years ago, if you dared to point out how the PC culture was sinking the US, you'd get laughed out of the room. Most people were so clueless about just how damaging this garbage is. Now look at what's happening.

The US is imploding and at some point, something is going to break in a spectacular way.

Sad when things reach that point. I'm more libertarian by nature, but if I absolutely had to pick a side, I'd go with the alt-right. Why? The far-left are a bunch of testosterone-deficient beta males/females; they would be so easily defeated that anybody who intentionally joins them is either delusional, or has a death wish.

It's interesting that Dylan Roof cited an "online" community, and rather than smashing the internet, people are going after, in this case, a 200+ year old statue that suddenly seems to have the power to go online and create online racism or something.

I have a theory about these kids that do these horrific things. They all have the same look about them. If you work in mental health long enough, you get to know it quite well. It's called a 'flat affect'.......not one muscle in their face is doing anything. Their eyes show nothing. If they have a little bit of something showing, like a tiny bit of emotion, it's 'blunted'.

They all have this look to them. My mind always goes back to "The Manchurian Candidate".

But I digress. I don't want them to censor the internet, but since Obama set up massive spy and data gathering centers, they might as well use it to pick out the ones who let everybody know that they are planning something terrible.

Destroying statues, etc., is destroying our culture, no matter how ugly it was. Screaming for Washington's statues to go down, screaming for Teddy Roosevelt's to be taken down......now they want the pictures off the money.....it's crazy-making for normal people.

You cannot eliminate the American spirit until you completely erase the slate and fill it with new false idols for the masses.

I would completely be on board with ending the veneration of Columbus though.

But you are all about "venerating the left"... The same left that has done unimaginable things, not 600 years ago, but in the 20th and 21st century... Enslaving whole nations while claiming "socialism will free you all, give all equality, and the poor will make lots, and lots of money...

Instead what generations got was an atheistic system that systematically sought to oppress all religions, imprisoned millions, and put over 110 million people to death for "being capitalists, being religious, or for daring to be against socialism, and communism...

What the left in the United States are now doing, is similar to what the left, and the brainwashed mobs did in Spain, the U.S.S.R., China, Vietnam, Colombia, Venezuela, etc, etc.

I don't condone what Columbus, and many of his people did. But guess what? What is the history of many indigenous people?

The Aztecs, the Inca, and the Maya among many others sacrificed people of other tribes, and when they couldn't get other people from other tribes, they sacrificed their own. Many such indigenous people ate human hearts, chopped heads off, and shrunk heads of those they ate/killed so they could wear human heads as adornment...

The samurai in Japan also cut peasants heads. They tested the sharpness of their blades by chopping peasant's heads. if a peasant didn't bow fast enough, they were murdered.

If we look at almost any "indigenous people", all have committed unspeakable crimes. Yet the left, including you, simply want to use this "fake outrage" to simply implement yet another left-wing oppressive system.

The whole "native people's lived in harmony with nature" is a made up claim from the left, and Hollywood. Native Americans in the U.S., before Columbus arrived, were killing other native tribes, and did unspeakable things to people of other tribes. We have found mass graves of buffalo that were herded by the hundreds towards cliffs so they would fall to their death, and tons, and tons of meat rotting in the sun and not being used.

Stop using the past so that you can impose your leftwing, globalist government. The same type of leftwing movement that enslaved millions of people, and caused the deaths of millions more.

Long time lurker, rarely log in, but had to star OP(I think I did it right). I don't see Democrats winning anything in the near or distant future. The silent majority will continue to speak at elections. What concerns me is they are desperate and can't win anything. Desperate people do desperate things when it comes to elections, or anything else for that matter.

GREAT post!!! You're right, indigenous people were quite savage in their own right. The mountain that I live on is called "Blood Mountain", due to two Native American tribes who had such an awful, bloody battle that they say the rivers were red with blood. So yeah.....it wasn't all peace pipes and gentle stories of ancestors around a fire.

But their culture gets a pass on that, for whatever reason. Oh hell, we know the reason.

Desperate people do desperate things....EXACTLY!! Good observation. The Dems are desperate and their actions are getting more outrageous by the day. C'mon here more often, Valve! The waters are choppy but if you sink a battleship before they sink yours, you win a prize! Or at least, a star or two.

oh noooo
not a statue of Christopher Columbus.

Sounds like you have some anger issues.

And a few good points, buried within.

Well, glad you discovered those points. Yes, I am very angry. My parents immigrated here, assimilated, taught me and my brothers "English Only", and thus we were American. The entire time I was going to public school in the 60s and 70s, we were taught to be 'good citizens'. Movements came along that were good and changed some bad behavior, such as the civil rights movement, and the ecological movement. Los Angeles used to be a trash bin. People stopped throwing trash out of their car windows, thankfully.

When I had my kids 30 some odd years ago, I figured they were inheriting a wonderful country where my two girls could grow up to be whatever they wanted, hindered only by themselves and nobody else. The memories I have of carefree days as a child in southern California I still treasure. The holidays we ALL shared. Halloween and the 4th of July were my favorites, because everybody came out of their houses and mixed and talked and laughed and it was pure magic to me. So were the block parties.

Neighborhoods, in the afternoons and on weekends, had lots of kids running around. Now you drive through a neighborhood and see nothing but closed up houses.

My kids were given wonderful childhoods in country settings, because the cities were starting to get a little creepy and dangerous.

Now as adults, THIS is what they have inherited.

An angry person such as myself is not a danger to anybody unless I am attacked or cornered. I believe many of us are angry, because we remember.....and we know, this was all done on purpose. That is the biggest slap in the face of all who remember what was, and grieve over its destruction.

But to correct you, I am not always angry, except when I see destruction, or injustice being done. Both are coming from the same group of frothing hyenas currently.

All of this is coming from beyond this world..prepare to assault the real problem...the ones who never give us any real choice.

Blaming humans at all is boring and meaningless.....

All cultures should get a pass, because the past is the past. Europeans committed some savage atrocities to each other in their time as well. Scandinavia was like the trailer park of Europe many centuries ago.

Help me out here.....are you saying that off-world entities are controlling us and we have no choice or say in the matter?

Well, by definition of the word "discover", he actually did.

He dis-covered america, currently not known by the society he was living in. If I follow your logic, nothing is ever "discovered" by anyone because you can´t proof it. Nothing is ever "invented" by a single entity because you can´t proof that no one before has ever done it -or not.

English is my third language, yet I´m very confident what you wrote is wrong.

verb (used with object)
1.
to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find, or find out; gain sight or knowledge of (something previously unseen or unknown [sic: to the one in the act of discovering]):

You think aliens are doing this? Are you seriously serious? Aliens?

I don't believe aliens exist. The keyword here being ' believe'.

a reply to: alphabetaone

But you know who Ted Bundy is. I'm assuming you didn't know him personally. The fact that anyone over a certain age knows who he is and what he did makes him historically significant. Same with Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer and more recently, Adam Lanza. And who could argue that the Oklahoma City bomber was not historically significant?

I'm just saying that if it's a good thing to keep a statue of someone who did horrific things, then let's do more of those kinds of statues.

If we do, then let's include people like serial killers, mass shooters and bombers in our statues. We can make them beautiful pieces of art. We can keep them around forever as our legacy.

What is stopping you? Hell, make them bigger and better than the ones you dislike.

Gonna need to increase your taxes to pay for it. But I know you won't mind.

Nonsense. Given the political climate, donations will get you pretty far (perhaps to retirement!).
