The Left is going what each wing does when its side is doing stupid things: It's refusing to address it honestly or effectively. It's placing its base over what's best for the city or state or country. And as I've said a zillion times, when we refuse to hold our side accountable for its actions, all we're REALLY doing is enabling MORE of them.
To drag this back to the point of the thread, it's essentially impossible to effectively address the problems we face when neither end is willing to honestly look in the mirror. The mayors in the cities with violence have clearly taken sides, and it's up to the Left to hold them accountable. I'm not seeing much of that, if anything.
That's my point though in the post... How can you honestly look at yourself in the mirror, if you aren't working with complete information? How can I blame someone who supports what's happening, when all they have to go off of is the manifesto of the people doing it, and what's reported to them by what seems to be their only source of news information... Rather than their actual actions?
I think they'll happily look into the mirror, the problem is they don't understand that it's not a true reflection of what's happening. RIOTS ARE BAD... It's not like there are too many of us that disagree with that here... Problem: There are people who actively watch the news, and not know that they are RIOTS in some cases.
They are just supporting equality.
CNN and MSNBC are ******* things up pretty badly on that front. We need an informed populous so they can actually honestly look at themselves in the mirror.
You can have a respectful political discourse with one side having a more accurate representation of the real world... But it won't be intelligent or productive.
