    In recent days we have seen the effect of identity politics spill into the streets.

    The thing we are all asking is why.

    The best explanation I have come across is that it consolidates power. It you need to puts women against men, White against black, religious against atheist, and the gays against straights.

    If we're busy fighting against one another it's easier for the wealthy elites to outsource our jobs, and bring in more agreeable people from the third world.

    So what do we do?

    I dunno. Tell people to grow the hell up, accept personal responsibility, and cease watching MSNBC or CNN?

    I don't think they're going to listen. They risked life and limb to set the nation on fire to tell you no.

    Some people have to be made to accept responsibility. This is what law enforcement is for.

    What I'm getting at is the time for talk is over. We have to look around ourselves and see that we're already at War. A war for our country. We haven't got to the bloody battlefield yet but that is the crescendo not the opening salvo.

    Unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done aside from police chiefs with actual functioning testicles telling Dem Party mayors that they are NOT going to let their cities burn at the altar of leftist political correctness; and aside from exactly that having recently happened inside Houston, Texas . . . how likely is THAT to happen in the nation of insane Political Correctness?

    Here's the deal; the nation hating ideology of the political Left has been wearing away at the foundations of this nation for decades. Patriotism and Mom and Apple-Pie have progressively (ha!) been replaced by selfishness and self-indulgence and outright ideolgical insanity along the lines of social engineering and political correctness and . . . there is now very little chance of walking back from that because along the way, conservatives allowed the political Left to take control of both the nation's educational system and media outlets. It's probably now simply too late. Call me a political cynic.

    I guess it depends on who you want your God to be. Do you want it's to be your personal God or the government.

    I have to ask this question, are you conservative?
    if only we were at that stage I think we passed that point a long time ago. Nation hating ideology has breached into the school and it's whispering in your children or grandchildrens ear. It has convinced your neighbors that you are racist that you hate gay people.

    I'm not here trying to scare people just want people to wake up.

    PC rules universities, it rules public schools and private schools, it rules your place of business. Maybe even your marriage.


    no it's not it's just it's going to take effort. Think about the revolutionary War who's the right peg bunch of people that fight against a world controlling empire. You and I can do something. It may not seem like much but if all of us do it it will be something.

    Simply don't be shamed into silence. Don't take what the school tells you is the ultimate decision regard to your child.

    If we love this country what it stood for if we really really want to make America great again it's going to take us not a president.

    There are some folks who have been wanting a second Civil War for a long time. I don't think they realize just how ugly war can get.

    Some things are worth fighting for. Some things are worth dying for.

    Perhaps Joe Biden's 10 to 15 percent of 'bad people' should cease rioting and looting, mugging, and murdering in the name of Social Justice; this mind you WHILE the justice system is already addressing their concerns.

    This bullshit has been going on for over fifty years but look how much it has accelerated in four years. Just have to keep moving ahead and strengthening the conservative resolve. You know it was always the left who divided us and I was down with putting up with that, but after these riots and all that happened I can see no other alternative but to annihilate the left. By that I don't mean killing people but we need to go after and destroy every avenue they have available to exist. A good place to start would be end tax exemptions to all nonprofits. Harvard has a $40 billon dollar endowment, why do they need an exemption? We start hitting them in the wallet and those that continue to support this bullshit should suffer the most. As taxpayers we have the right to decide what kind of education our children receive and education needs to be free of political indoctrination. Political correctness isn't officially or legally sanctioned, therefore we do not have to put up with it. If some one insists on using psychobabble, or enter some ridiculous imagined precedent to an argument we need to politely tell them we're just not interested in continuing the conversation. If they insist on pressing the matter there's nothing wrong with saying what you really think. When the government acts PC or is malfeasant in protecting the citizenry in the name of PC we must remove those responsible from office. Things are insane because we allowed it to happen. Fifty years of pandering to the left has brought us to where we are now, Trump has been a speed bump, America has to become a dead end for leftist politics. They hate America so let's claim it, all of it, for us.

    That is true. I remember hearing that the United States of America was just an experiment.
    Maybe the experiment has failed and it's time to destroy it and start all back over from scratch.
    Do you agree, Polydectes?

    Absolutely not. It isn't the experiment that had failed it's the subject that has been corrupted by the elites who benefit from turning the people against each other.

    Falling for scapegoating isn't failure it's selling meaning in ideology because meaning was stolen from you.

    It's conservatives that let it happen too. The left didn't always control schools and Hollywood, colleges, human resources, they crept their way in by attacking any resistance as racist homophobic and all the other phobic and ists.
    You can effect this change by not backing down from what you think is right. Just remember they are going to lash out at you for it.
    EXACTLY!!! When you let them control what you say, they control what you think.

    Not just pandering. Being shamed into silence. If you think abortion is wrong they claim you hate women. Your response should never be that you don't have women they already said you do and their allies believe it.

    Just say that you don't believe in murdering babies.

    Stand up for your values... If you value them. That's why we voted for Trump. He was a middle finger to all those that screech racist. That's why they hate him. He doesn't bend a knee to their authority he does it with words.

    WHO said Anti-Choicers hate women?

    They've only been accused of wanting to deprive women of the same rights everyone else has ...and that can look like hate...I mean if you want to deprive someone of their rights it doesn't look like you like or respect them.....

    The Slave Owners of the 19th Century, both those in the South and those who held surrogate slaves from the far off North, LOST the Civil War.

    Then they decided to rebrand themselves into Progressives and tried to regain political power by erecting Confederate statues, segregating DC, and by backing the national Klan.

    They will also fail, and the country will move on while some will hold tightly onto their, "I'm a Victim," badges.
