Poll the Gulch – Who is more detrimental to our republic, the KKK or Antifa?
Curious of what everyone thinks on this? Personally, I think the KKK and Antifa are two sides of the same coin of division. The KKK is ridiculous and only services to recruit the naive and dumb into its membership. They will never amount to a true threat, no one cares about their cause because it’s a moronic ideology to judge a whole based on skin color.
The Antifa which is short for Anti-fascist (I’m guessing here) which is anything but anti-fascist. Something about this has not made any sense to me, why here and why now? The KKK has existed for a long time and we just ignore them but now it’s a moral imperative that we fight? Are the ranks of the KKK growing at rates that I should take notice? Are they planning something else that has made this a necessity?
The Left is desperate for division so it can label people as it sees fit and to peg these idiots as “Far-Right” is idiotic. The KKK is closer to the far Left but they have been successful in labeling this group as far Right.
As for my poll question, its these Antifa because they want to oppress free-speech and change history, they seek to divide and not heal, they endeavor to sow the seeds of civil disobedience among the youth that has been brainwash in our public schools, they are the anti-capitalist and I just witnessed for the first time the thought police at Google (1984).
The Antifa is fascism…

All of that spells bad news.
Antifa, however, is just a different name for the same communists or communist directed useful idiots that are pressing the collectivization of the USA. They are winning.
The clash in Charlottesville on the surface looks like a confrontation between Nazis and Communists during the fall of the Weimar Republic, but the Communists definitely have the upper hand and, as said elsewhere here, set this up to damage Trump who is serving to slow down their efforts.
I told you my guess, and you began with the word "wrong". I think they mean to pick up the slack for parents who don't have their act together, and the results is level of quality that's about what you'd expect from a gov't-provided service.
"Now, just as there was in Teddy Roosevelt's time, there is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let's respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. "The market will take care of everything," they tell us. If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes – especially for the wealthy – our economy will grow stronger. Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers. But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesn't trickle down, well, that's the price of liberty.
Now, it's a simple theory. And we have to admit, it's one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. That's in America's DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But here's the problem: It doesn't work. It has never worked. It didn't work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It's not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s. And it didn't work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, it's not as if we haven't tried this theory..."
You see government regulation and control works - capitalism doesn't. The full text of his speech can be found here:

I'm going to go with neither.
This has disenfranchised me from my parental rights to rise my children in the fashion I see fit. The government has no right to teach my child to be sexually promiscuous with others. Who do these idiots think they are?
I thought most of the primary loons came in from all over, albeit with a permit. What percentage of the counter-loons came from out of state?
That sounds weird. We haven't seen anything like that in our area. What we see is a lot of the school teaching things parents should teach. I think the school is responding to the fact that some parents don't have their act together, and the school is trying for better or worse to pick up the slack.
Sending our kids to Baptist Camp has been very helpful. The kids know we're not religious. My 8 y/o challenged us if science and reason aren't actually another form of religion, the religion he's heard all his life before hearing the Baptists view. We explained why reason is not a religion. It's caused us to have discussions we never would have had otherwise. Sometimes their questions are beyond my knowledge, like how exactly some stories get tied to politics and then turn into mainstream religions but others turn into fairy tales.
It's causing us to get less upset when their school teaches something we don't agree with. The biggest thing I don't agree with is the public school's obsession with safety. The Baptists, OTOH, have my view of safety, that kids should get out and take some reasonable risks. So their learning different people have different conclusions, and it's okay to work with them even if some of their conclusions are just out-and-out wrong.
Can't remember which kind of racist was being targeted for being surprised at the sight of fire being used as a counter-protest weapon.
Both these group are from the same cesspool. If you imagine a light bulb shape with the top being center, then right and left away from the top according to your ideology, the cesspool is the bottom, neither right nor left. That's where these two groups are, along with other groups and some individuals. An ideological cesspool.
Cesspool residents, like KKK and Antifa, are the kind of people that will ask you to give them $10.00 and if you do, they insult you and demand 2 $5.00 bills.
Both groups are either mostly or all fakes, for the purpose of smearing the Right. The best defense is to laugh and point this out, while never saying anything that could help the lying media smear us by association with the thugs.
