To Those Who Love America

[Toro]

We cannot deny that we are in a civil war. 10 months of violence by the democrats and their Brown Shirt henchmen of ANTIFA and BLM have spilled out of the cities and now threaten to consume the nation.

The democrat controlled press is engaged in the most vile demagoguery since Hitler's regime. The openly fascist propaganda slanders and libels enemies of the party with no pretense of facts. The democrat party is drunk with power and is engaged in fascism, seeking to destroy anyone who opposes or threatens the party.

The burning down of Parler by the omnipotent state and their big tech Nazi thugs shows the utter and complete contempt the fascists have for liberty, free speech, and America.

The acts of the fascists, the Nazi democrats, have created much righteous anger. The democrats and their press smear election fraud in the face of America and then slander us for using the courts to redress grievance. The well deserved anger spilled over into violence; albeit extremely subdued violence (despite the lies of the little Goebbels), last week. I have condemned this violence and continue to do so. The acts weren't just wrong, they were stupid.

I'm not going to lie to people and say that violence isn't the answer. In 1776 violence was the answer to gaining our independence and becoming a nation. in 1861 violence was the answer to subduing the democrats who waged war against this nation. democrats again wage war against America, and violence is very likely the answer to them.

But not the mindless and aimless violence we saw last week. IF the protests next week degrade into that sort of violence, it only empowers the fascists, it gives the democrats justification for crushing liberty and imposing the tyranny they seek on America.

We must be smart, we must be focused, we must be calm, we must be just - all of what the fascists are not. There will be a time when we must subdue the democrats with force of arms, but this is not that time. The fascist will engage in atrocities, we all know it, and when they do, we must respond with force of arms. But until that time, we must be the people of justice, the people of peace, the people of order.

Protest by all means. Condemn the fascists, expose them. Boycott Amazon and Apple. Petition the courts to break up the Google monopoly.

This is the time to show America that we are the people of rationality and peace. When the fascists become violent, respond overwhelmingly - but do not be the instigator.

Dude, as much as I commend you for your condemnation of violence and telling people to remain calm, Big Tech pulling Parler isn't fascism nor is it censorship. They - as is this is place - are private platforms. They are not controlled by the government but by private shareholders. They - as this place has - have terms of services that people must abide by. Simply because a platform exists does not mean anyone has a right to it. People don't have the right to go on the CBS Evening News and say whatever they want. They don't have the right to publish whatever they want in the WSJ. That's up to the owners of the companies. The infrastructure providers don't have to host USMB or any other site either. Saying they do is saying that the government is right to impose actions on private institutions. That's closer to fascism than what you are arguing.

One side is trying to overturn a free and fair election. The attacks on the republic and lies by Trump amplified by his media sycophants and supporters are an attack on the rule of law. These companies abide by the rule of law. If the election was overturned, then so is the rule of law, and what comfort do these companies have that the rule of law won't be overturned on them when it's politically convenient to do so?

Private companies have no obligation to give you or anyone else access to their private property. They set standards and apply the standards as they see fit. Is it unfair? Maybe. But many people who have been banned from here also believe they've been banned unfairly. The owners of USMB have every right to choose who gets access and who does not. As does Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Stripe, etc.

Don't you ever tire of showing the board how stupid you are?

Of course not, you're too stupid to realize that.

So that's a "no," then?

Run along now and burn down a newspaper critical of Xi's man.

This is the time to show America that we are the people of rationality and peace. When the fascists become violent, respond overwhelmingly - but do not be the instigator.

We can longer use the peaceful tools and rules of a corrupt system to work within a corrupt system to attempt to change a corrupt system. We cannot take our grievances to Congress, the members of which believe themselves to be untouchable royalty entitled to infinitely enrich themselves. We cannot take out grievances to the courts, as the courts will not hear them. We cannot take our grievances to the press because it is no longer a FREE press independent of control by one political party. And we can no longer take our grievances to the ballot box because systemic organized mass voter fraud has rendered our sacred votes null and void, dead on delivery. Where and what then remain the place and the method for voicing our honorable, patriotic and benevolent REAL grievances? But one option remains. The very same option exercised by the men who would become America's Founding Fathers.

Every word you wrote is true.

And yet the violence of last week only makes the fascists more powerful and justifies their tyranny.

We see the little Goebbels slobbering all over themselves "Trump supporters must be fired from their jobs, must be driven from their homes, must be denied food and shelter, because they staged and attempted coup."

Now the vile and violent scum who are the Nazi democrats are lying. What happened wasn't even in the same zip code as a coup. What Nancy Pigshit did a year ago was an attempted coup. There was no attempt to take over and form a new government by Viking helmet and his fellow morons. But the Nazis will take ANY act and lie about it, hype it. I guarantee there are little Goebbels and the fascist press as we speak demagoguing about a "coup" and how frightened our aristocracy was to have the unwashed breach their inner sanctum.

The demagogue vermin will defame and slander any action by Americans standing up to fascism.

We must not give them the opportunity. We must expose them as the liars and fascist tyrants that they are.

Violence without purpose is just evil - it's what the democrats do.

What can we do? Take down Apple, take down Google, take down Amazon.

Walmart has free delivery. Yeah, they may be just as much scum as Amazon, but a message must be sent.

DEMAND that anti-Trust laws be enforced, that Apple is not immune to the laws of the land. If the courts refuse to uphold our laws, then know that storming Congress is the wrong target.

Be smart, be focused - recognize your targets. Attacking the capitol will never get you anything but infamy.

BLM burned down a major Amazon distribution center in Redlands CA last June. Amazon now enforces thuggery for the left. Congress is a stupid target, pick them more wisely. Apple, Google, Amazon, et al operate with impunity - immune to the laws of the nation. They need to learn that a lack of law doesn't mean a lack of accountability.

Redlands? Hmm. Didn't hear about BLM being responsible for that. Must be one of those "living in your own reality" moments that Trump supporters are famous for. It's unsolved. Not even a hint of arson.

[Dr Grump]

By whom, Comrade?

By the 95% of Americans who think you're nuts.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I think what's happening is much bigger than most here realize. It's a global thing. And the PTSB want you to think it's a war between left / right, but the war is actually on ALL of us. Most people just haven't realized that yet. The misguided Dems who are cheering on the tyranny will have a rude awakening at some point, when their bootlicking comes back to bite them in the @ss.

But that said, I agree that for now conservatives and "the right" are being targeted (that has actually been going on for many years now, but it's getting worse) because we are the ones against the globalist agendas and try to expose the traitors, while Dems naively trust them and go along with it.

Establishment dems and your standard cookie-cutter brown-shirts are in for the same rude awakening that establishment repubs are being woke up to now.

What comes around goes around. Celebrate it.

Let me ask you something.

Remember back during the '08 and '12 campaigns? You were there. You were involved. Not nearly to the extent that I was, but you were there.

We blew them away in every sense. We raised more grassroots money. We filled more buildings. We won the polls. We ran the delegate game. When they changed the rules so we couldn't get our guy on the debate stage at the national convention, even after he'd won the right to do so, we had to fill a building down the road from the Republican National Convention so that our guy could speak. And he did. Heck, we had 10,000 people in that joint on a moments notice. We had more people than they did.

What happened during those campaigns? Do you remember how the so-called right-wing media completely blacked us out? Remember when they would leave us off of the results reporting on their nightly programming, even when we were running in 1st and 2nd place? Even when we were setting all-time political records? Remember how they would put another candidate's photo next to our candidates name and then it looked like the guy in the picture had our numbers? I could keep going. Remember how when they did decide to put us on the reporting list of results, they put us at the bottom of the list, even if we were in 1st or 2nd?

Do you remember how the so-called right laughed and called us crazy for having the audacity to speak on matters of Individual liberty and critical policy? Do you remember when they shared in the so-called right-wing mainstream media's joy in mocking truly principled candidates? And now all of a sudden when it's their turn, they're suddenly griping about censorship? It's important to them all of a sudden? They were fine with it when it was us on the receiving end? Remember? They thought it was funny. They mocked it. They've proven time and time again that they're no different and that they have no problem doing the same thing that's being done to them now if it benefits them.

Well, guess what. They'll do it again when we run another principled candidate against another one of their neocons and they won't lose a second's worth of sleep about it. Have you seen the names of the warmongering, Keyensian neocons they're touting for the 2024? Pft. Fuck them. They can reap it, for all I care. What comes around goes around.

We should continue to mind our own house. If we happen to get caught up in the circus, then handle it and move along quietly.

But yeah. Just as it came around and bit the so-called right in the rear end, it will come around and bite the so-called left in the rear end. In time. History is ripe with example.

Your first paragraph is a bit of a deeper discussion. Not really gonna touch on that here in this thread, but it's good topical discussion.

We have nothing in common with the left. They hate us and we are learning to hate them.

 

[TheParser]

1. The Dems feel that they can never forget or forgive Pubs for the 01/06 Capitol incident.

2. The Pubs feel that they can never forget or forgive the riots & looting of Spring and Summer, 2020. And during the COVID pandemic at that!

3. It's pretty clear that two nations are arising on this continent.

4. "Never the twain shall meet."

5. It is only a matter of time that a formal divorce is demanded.

6. In the meanwhile, we can only hope that some adult Dem and Pub leaders can work together to cool passions.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Dude, as much as I commend you for your condemnation of violence and telling people to remain calm, Big Tech pulling Parler isn't fascism nor is it censorship. They - as is this is place - are private platforms.

In 1903, the New York Gazette wrote a series of articles harshly critical of J.P. Morgan. Morgan then bought the paper distribution companies and even an upstate paper mill, along with ink distributors and the manufacturer of movable fonts in New York.

Morgan then cancelled all contracts with the Gazette, putting them out of business.

Now Morgan was operating a trust of private businesses - in fact his trust was not set to public access the way the tech tyrants are. Even though Morgan operated through a series of private companies combined into a trust, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the actions by Morgan amounted to restraint of trade and violated the Sherman Anti-Trust act.

This is now precedent.

The trust formed by Apple, Twitter, Google, and Amazon expressly engaged in restraint of trade in their coordinated and hostile actions against Parler.

They are not controlled by the government but by private shareholders. They - as this place has - have terms of services that people must abide by. Simply because a platform exists does not mean anyone has a right to it. People don't have the right to go on the CBS Evening News and say whatever they want. They don't have the right to publish whatever they want in the WSJ. That's up to the owners of the companies. The infrastructure providers don't have to host USMB or any other site either. Saying they do is saying that the government is right to impose actions on private institutions. That's closer to fascism than what you are arguing.

Laws are the government imposition on private companies and individuals.

Until the last decade, America was - or at least had the pretense of being a nation of laws.

One side is trying to overturn a free and fair election. The attacks on the republic and lies by Trump amplified by his media sycophants and supporters are an attack on the rule of law. These companies abide by the rule of law. If the election was overturned, then so is the rule of law, and what comfort do these companies have that the rule of law won't be overturned on them when it's politically convenient to do so?

Private companies have no obligation to give you or anyone else access to their private property. They set standards and apply the standards as they see fit. Is it unfair? Maybe. But many people who have been banned from here also believe they've been banned unfairly. The owners of USMB have every right to choose who gets access and who does not. As does Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Stripe, etc.

The right of the people to petition the government for redress isn't restricted because they left won.

To deny legal access as you suggest is fascistic.

By whom, Comrade?

By the 95% of Americans who think you're nuts.

Comrade traitor, 75 million Americans voted for Donald Trump, and those are legitimate votes.

Try again.

Half of which probably now wish they hadn't...

Talk radio has lost control of what it created.

No doubt the democrats will burn it down next, as you did to Parler.

You are dedicated to crushing any opposing speech to your filthy fascist party.

But I disagree with what happened to Parler.

You are simply ignorant of my politics.

That isn't my fault. Evidently being ignorant is fine with you.

You just disagree with Trumpers so much that you forgot to say anything about Parler because it actually achieves your agenda to remain silent and continue supporting those trying to de-platform 50% of America.

1. The Dems feel that they can never forget or forgive Pubs for the 01/06 Capitol incident.

2. The Pubs feel that they can never forget or forgive the riots & looting of Spring and Summer, 2020. And during the COVID pandemic at that!

3. It's pretty clear that two nations are arising on this continent.

4. "Never the twain shall meet."

5. It is only a matter of time that a formal divorce is demanded.

6. In the meanwhile, we can only hope that some adult Dem and Pub leaders can work together to cool passions.

The gulf is too wide.
