    I should have resisted such a diversion. My bad.

    I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who condemned the violent elements on both sides - good on you. Anyone seeking to score political points out of this situation is on a fool's errand.

    I live near C'ville and even before the rioting started we were getting reports out of the local media that both sides had shown up looking for a fight. It wasn't hard to see that things were going to end badly and not surprisingly they did.

    I said this two days ago and I'll say it again - both sides sucked. They should stay home and riot in their own communities - that crap isn't welcome here.

    Why deny such an overtly obvious thing? Do you think it makes you look credible?


    'Shut you up', prog?

    Here's a life lesson for you: next time you think a 'rightie' is 'trying to shut you up', recognize an argument for which you have no rebuttal as what it is:

    An opportunity to learn, and adjust your ideology. It isn't a muzzle.

    There is as much left wing extremism in the USA as right wing extremism. If Nazis are representative of the typical republican, then antifa is representative of the typical democrat.

    It's not "overtly obvious". Marxist professors get fired regularly because the universities and colleges are profit-making corporations, so they favor capitalism and don't like to see Marxism taught to students. Note, I didn't say there are no Marxist professors. There are a few token ones to "prove" the universities are "neutral", but there is no trend.

    Oh, now there's real logic! "If Nazis are representative of the typical republican" then that means that typical democrats are "antifa". LOL!!!

    And note that I never said nor implied that "typical republicans" are Nazis.

    Well, I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't get paid to talk to delusional people.

    No reason to take his word for it. David Duke said exactly that.

    if you can prove to me that Antifa invited the criminal to use his car in that way, I'll gladly believe you

    White nationalists or supremacists, whatever they want to call themselves, are an anachronism. They don't belong in and can't face up to today's real world.

    They are not going to "take America back". That's not going to happen and on some level I think they know it. Instead of constantly trying to move backwards, they should use their tenacity and intellect (if they have any) to try to move the country forward. The chances are, for the most part, that they won't. They'll just leave the heavy lifting to the rest of us Democrats and Republicans alike.

    Sad!

    I believe the argument to which you refer is that of whether or not Marxist professors and common, -maybe a majority, -on campuses. You and others like Aphotic have expressed opinion on it. I expressed opinion on it. So it's just a bit premature to speak of "an argument for which you have no rebuttal".

    If you took America, and collected cities into one huge city, then collected the rural area into it's separate government, which do you think would be democrats and which republicans?

    Do you see any difference in Americans?

    i compare their slogans to Obama's of hope and change. Obama was pissed off at America for not being what he wanted. So he told us all he was to change it. Well these guys think he want backwards and wish to cancel his changes.

    Forward used by Democrats is both jingoist and false on it's face. They do not mean forward, they mean under tighter control by government as they choose to make government.

    And don't pretend you do not believe in fighting government. This is going on daily and done by Democrats.

    Why is David Duke a guru for Democrats?

    We don't quote him. Democrats quote his words to us daily.

    This lad, were he a Democrats criminal, would be spoken of as needing mental treatment. They would call out his parents as lousy. They would try to call him disadvantaged.

    The lad no doubt is mental, but he will be tried and convicted. What he did, none of us support. He was not even part of the group that got the permit to protest the removal of the two statues.

    No clue what you're rambling on about or what that has to do with skin color.
