Progressive Columnist: Riots Are Hurting Our Cause
Granted this columnist has awakened somewhat; BUT!...why do progressives; communist and marxist by nature, (if not way under qualified to govern anything; including their own lives), embrace rules for radicals and Violent Protest?:
“The direct costs of violent protests are fairly self-evident. People who may not have anything to do with the underlying grievances get injured or killed, their livelihoods are impaired, the communities in which the rioting takes place suffer property damage that can linger for decades, and the inevitable police response creates new dangers for innocent bystanders.”
Oh...so next time they will bake us cake and cookies so we will vote for them and not against them.
This isn't a protest...it's just a chance to act up!...those that act this way do not know the issues except the issuance of a paycheck from georgie sorass...
“It is surely the case that some positive social reforms have emerged in response to rioting. … But the question is not whether rioting ever yields a productive response, but whether it does so in general. Omar Wasow, an assistant professor at the department of politics at Princeton, has published a timely new paper studying this very question. And his answer is clear: Riots on the whole provoke a hostile right-wing response. They generate attention, all right, but the wrong kind.”
"Hostile right-wing response"???...how about a reasoned defense in favor of self responsive liberty!
The left operates from a false premise, learned from false and revised history, from a misguided, misunderstood stance of all the values collected by our forefathers in constructing America.
"Many Americans simply want to go about their quiet lives and accept change as it slowly comes."
What!...do You go about your daily routine accepting "liberal or harmful" change as it slowly comes?
I don't...maybe I missed something...

nothing a bit of lead can't fix...just sayin'
I want the dumb woman who on the women's march called for the killing of all boy babies to be charged with anything! I want the press to completely covering stupid Madonna, the over the hill slut who has long sold us far more profanity than talent. d Guess that is enough, for now. As a college educated female, I am sick of the liberals trying to sell their garbage, not buying it.
My mother didn't raise my sister and me to be idiots. We are both secure in who we are. We don't derive our personalities from our husbands, but we do love them. And we absolutely do not want a bunch of liberal nut cases to think that they are speaking for us.
The Best way to cure someone's mischief, vandalism or theft is to pay for the damages themselves, even if it's $5.00 a week until paid in full. It's a hard lesson but next time they will thing twice. Jail does squat in these cases...they get everything free...Make them uncomfortable in their recompense!
All they generate from the parties they seek to intimidate is revulsion and resistance.
What the fetid fat toad globalist George Soros actually blows his billions on.
Rush Limbaugh said that we should all pray that Sally Brown becomes the head of the Democrat party. She is a piece of work.
And I agree with Rush. The more those DimDems clown it up, the more secure I feel about our future.
Just after I left Detroit for a job in another state, the mayor told the white people to leave. So most of them did. Then a few years later the mayor said that troubles in Detroit were the fault of the white people because they left!
"All this is not to say that we don’t need change in certain areas. We do. But would we be more effective in making that change through rational discourse and reasoned debate, rather than emotional riots? If so, is it time we returned to teaching the next generation how to actually engage in rational, logical discourse? "
Uh, I have not heard any rational, reasonable debate in a hell of a long time. DC lost that in the 90's or before. Remember Felony Pelosi, ramming Obamacare through the House? Yet no one on their side, or even the other side, want to go back and say "You brought it on yourselves, with lies, misrepresentation and fearmongering".
Teach it? Do you think they have not been "taught" enough? The current couple of generations of snowflakes have been taught by the current educational establishment that all this stuff is what you do, protest, whine, and need a "safe space". How would you teach, when the teachers are just as dysfunctional?
All you 125 lb tree hugging zealots, come get us. Demonstrate precisely why you believe the 2nd amendment is flawed with your pathetic, whining behavior.
St. louis, Detroit, Birmingham, Memphis, Milwaukee, Rockford, Baltimore, Little Rock, Oakland, Kansas City, etc.)
Their Ivory towers Will fall!!!
The Democrats have become a group of tribalists, choosing to separate America into favored and unfavored collections and emphasize social conflict between them. They seek to divide people by color, gender, religion, age, and economic status.
I'm tired of the words "multicultural" and "diversity," as these promote tribalism, serving to divide us. I always thought America's strength came from being an "inclusive" culture, where all who seek individual freedom and economic opportunity are welcome. Instead, we've invited invaders who want to change our society into one like the dysfunctional world they've escaped, and have no interest in being included in the American experience. The TEA party and the Trump election is a rejection of the misguided track the Democrats want to impose on America. If they stubbornly continue down this track, they will go the way of the Whig party.
Then again, this is nothing new. The British General Strike flopped big-time in the 1920's, because the strikers "put people out" and even brought bodily harm to some.
"Burn this bitch down", repeat over and over.
We have a law that prohibits inciting a riot but alas it is pick and choose who to charge.
But...claims mr professional...they lost because they lost it and the rest of us got pissed and vindictive.
And I thought blaming climate change was bad enough!
Guess that's the Big Bang.
I enjoy talking to you, carl.
How could anyone develop a "body of knowledge" based on a philosophy of "contradiction"?
The answer is: They can't.
And then acted as if he or they had just come up with some really original and innovative thoughts.
But as far as "civil disobedience", I have a good friend from high school who is a professor of Political Science at Gonzaga, who told me that Gandhi's method of achieving independence from Great Britain probably wouldn't have worked with any other government.
And then Britain went and pulled out of India and let that poor divided country almost destroy itself.
Lessons from the past.
WAIT!...however, I am sure this view was a minority view from the few sentient conscious humans that took part in the effort.
The Near and Middle East and Asia Minor are a different story.
West and Central and East Africa? There was exposure throughout the last 2 millenia to both Islamic culture and Christian culture, yet not much of the good in those cultures seems to have taken root.
What the "World order" of idiots don't understand is that just exposing them to western civilization via "multiculturalism" will not work, and has never worked. It is a competence in a language that is "chock full of heavenly" Metaphors that awakens them...that's how mankind began to awaken and that's how they can wake up and smell the desire for self regulated liberty, inventiveness and free market benefits also. (English pretty much does that, the english language encompasses all the worlds great languages and their metaphors).
I wouldn't say this either: Montesquieu came up with reasons for that (his climate theory on differences in human nature) and it boiled down mainly to the fact that in his opinion the southern climes induced laziness. Now, I didn't say I agreed with that.
But I do think those regions of the world had, and still have, more exposure to diseases, and thus the people developed a rigidity of sorts. That one must always follow certain "protocols"---in the form of magic and ritual---in order to stave off disease. That any departure from these routines caused more sickness to result.
I think there is something to that...one more piece to the whole puzzle.
Just look at the south and VOODOO!...good thing it's really Not warming or we'd be in deep doodoo voodoo!
When the Leftist/Liberals decided never to call any people's culture "primitive" and to use "traditional" instead, it pretty much hampered any attempt to find out why some cultures advanced and others didn't.
I believe Progressives wanted everyone to believe one culture's morals were as good as another's.
Oh, yeah, a libtard once sang it to me: "Di-ver-sa-ty."
That's what he sang after saying I should be comfortable with all the Muslims flooding the country.
So I asked what will he say when he gets blown up.
He did not answer that question.
Don't know if he went away mad but he went away.
I've also read that at about that time, maybe 600 BC or before, there was a great flowering of not just math, science and technology, but also a spiritual awakening, around the world, including even Siddartha Buddha.
Yes recognizing that "something" brought about existence and that it wasn't some weird creature, the moon,a star or a planet...only, even with their new awareness they still stuck to the meme of the time and expressed it mystically.
You'd be surprised to find that a whole lot of natural and unusual things were happening at that time as well.
The times we find ourselves now is interesting also, as far as we can tell, a grand solar minimum And rapid magnetic pole movements have not occurred at the same time.
These things have an effect upon mans brain and health...needless to say...we are in for an interesting ride.
The variable changes in Space Weather and solar wind parameters lead to perturbations in the environmental electromagnetic fields, certain frequencies of which can “significantly alter the cellular calcium ion fluxes and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) waves in brain tissue” (Cherry 2001).17
The collected evidence reveals that the effects can go from environmental ULF/ELF signals to directly altering our cellular calcium ion homeostasis, which is capable of altering primate and human EEG waves, thereby affecting cell-to-cell communication and impacting reaction times.
There is evidence that “at days with high neutron activity (CRA) there were more medical emergencies and more deaths… A strong trend of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) (mostly of fatal cardiac arrhythmia, fibrillation) occurred more often on days of high CRA (neutron activity)” (Stoupel et al. 2014). During periods of low Solar Activity and ‘zero’ geomagnetic activity, data showed that those at risk were more likely to die of SCD; this illustrates the inverse correlation between Solar Activity and Cosmic Ray Activity.
On the other hand, in the scientific paper “Geomagnetic Storms Can Trigger Stroke,” the authors purpose was to present evidence for the impact of geomagnetic activity on stroke occurrence, which has been “limited and controversial.” They conclude that, “Geomagnetic storms are associated with increased risk of stroke and should be considered along with other established risk factors” (Feigin et al. 2014).18 Perhaps it is the balance, the middle ground, which is most prevalent compared to high Solar Activity and CRA, which are short-term events and less prevalent than active conditions.
Previous research shows that geomagnetic variations of a solar origin have been correlated with enhanced anxiety, sleep disturbances, altered moods, and greater incidences of psychiatric admissions (Persinger, 1987).19 Babayev and Allahverdiyeva’s findings indicate, “there were an indisposition, weakness and presence of indistinct localised headaches during the days with severe Geomagnetic Storms in experiment participants.” They concluded that “geomagnetic disturbances affect mainly the emotional and vegetative sphere of human beings… changes in geomagnetic conditions mostly affect the activity of the regulating systems of the right hemisphere and the ability to adapt to changes in a physical environment.”
Other than the extreme physical effects, the rest of many of these effects upon mood etc. can be dealt with awareness and mental control.
That's why I say that those unaware will be effected to most.
So, let's put this together: 1 teach the kids bull crap...which amounts to ridiculous mysticism. 2 feed them crappy food, 3 distract their attention with social media, destructive game playing and false ideology, 4, teach them not to work for their needs and give them everything, 5 now, piss them off, wait for atmospheric disturbances then pay them to destroy other peoples hard work because the rest of the conscious world is the cause of their misery!
Presto! you have chaos and riots.
See?..it's a simple formula to keep yourself in power.
God, that is, the God of all, has said that no sincere, genuine search for knowledge is displeasing to him.
Not sure I agree with you about the extent of the "heaven's" influence on the evolution of intellect. (Reminiscent of astrology.) Certainly there is some affect on physical and random mutations.
Let's just imagine that the lack of a voice of our own and the illusion of the voice of others present in bicameral mans brain was do to the lack of a sufficient shielding in our magnetosphere. Then for some unexplained reason our shielding gained strength via rapid sunspot flaring or some other mechanism sufficiently blocking certain frequencies that kept us from evolving into self awareness.
Observing the past it would seem that conditions on earth our sun and our solar system, (all of which have an electrical effect on each other) might have been very different from now.
Perhaps just the addition of Venus into our system was enough to change things a bit. We also suspect that other stars in other systems have an effect on ours.
It's not like we are just sitting still in the middle of nowhere. Our solar system is moving at 433,000mph around the Galaxy and the Galaxy is moving around the local universe as well.
There is still many lifetimes of knowledge we have yet to discover.
I bet you've had more than one "Venus" get into your system, haven't you? ---That was a joke!
Only 433,000MPH? Thought we were moving faster than that.
You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
There is a whole lot of stuff we were never taught, however, I will say that some of this wasn't known when I was a kid...Our Vikings, now exiting the heliosphere, (our sun's protection from strong cosmic winds that surrounds our solar system.), have filled in a lot of info.
Check out this body of work...bet you will watch it over and over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENyy...
Note: 1 early in the video you'll see measured connections between the stars. 2 note our position in all this...kinda makes one wonder.
One thing though: position and motion are relative in this universe. Do these scientists start out with a reference point?
Ref point? Not sure but I bet they started with the closest objects.
I had a thought in relation to the "great attractor" and the Electric Universe Theory. I wondered if the Gal. and Univ's going away from us would meet at the great attractor kinda like a Giant Generator.
But then that malignant 19th century European philosophical thought intervened, and I guess Liberals lost the sense of the rule of law.
