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...

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!
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!
And I agree with Rush. The more those DimDems clown it up, the more secure I feel about our future.
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.
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.
Rush Limbaugh said that we should all pray that Sally Brown becomes the head of the Democrat party. She is a piece of work.
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.
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.
nothing a bit of lead can't fix...just sayin'
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!
"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.
