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...

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.
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.
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.
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.
Just look at the south and VOODOO!...good thing it's really Not warming or we'd be in deep doodoo voodoo!
I think there is something to that...one more piece to the whole puzzle.
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.
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).
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.
WAIT!...however, I am sure this view was a minority view from the few sentient conscious humans that took part in the effort.
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.
But then that malignant 19th century European philosophical thought intervened, and I guess Liberals lost the sense of the rule of law.
Their Ivory towers Will fall!!!
