Its rare to have so much ignorance on display…
as I don’t watch the news, I rarely know what is going on in terms
of this type of violence…I have no idea if this person is a Bernie supporter
or not and to be honest for my purposes it doesn’t matter…
all of this is part of the ongoing demonization of the left that
has been going on for decades…driven by the wealthy types like
the Koch brothers and others of that ilk…
the claim that violence is driven by the left is easily disproven
because of the difference between the left and the right…
the left fights for freedoms and the right fights for security…
security which is why the right needs greater security…
the right is always calling for more police and more military
and putting guns into the hands of the mentally ill and children…
this need, I would say even a mania, shows how the right is driven
by fear and hate and anger… the right feels threaten and being driven
by their fear, demand greater and greater security for themselves…
fear is a great motivator and the right feeling afraid, would arm every person
in the U.S thinking that somehow it would make them feel safer…
and that is the thing… because fear is such a great motivator, no matter what
you do, you will always feel afraid because that is your motivation…
not love, not hope, not kindness, but fear…
the left doesn’t feel that fear… we are driven by different motivations…
we fight for justice and freedom…we fight for something, not just against
something like the right… we say yes, the right says no… look at the
GOP for the last decade and all it has said is no… we even call the GOP,
the party of no, and everyone understands what you mean…
I have pointed out before that even if the right succeeds in killing all the
left in America in some really stupid attempt to create right wing utopia,
it won’t solve a thing because the problem isn’t the left…
we aren’t the ones driven by fear or violence, the right is…
a few years ago, the FBI stated that the greatest threat to America
was not Islamic Terrorist but right wing terrorist like Timothy Mcvay
who tried to blow up an entire building in OKC many years ago, 1995 or 96,
and the FBI is right, the greatest threat to American peace is right wing
terrorists…
the left doesn’t advocate violence, the right does with its gun culture
and threats like 45 when he tried to suggest that someone who is a
second admendment advocate, to you know…to Hilary…
and of course the right jumped on that saying that Clinton deserved it…
thus showing the rights commitment to hate, violence, anger and fear…
I would suggest if you want to make the world a better place, you would
be best served by looking in the mirror… and asking yourself…
is fear and hate and violence really the answer for America?
the thing about fear and hate and violence is that it leaves nothing behind
but more fear and hate and violence… fear and hate and violence only begats
more fear and hate and violence which continues the cycle…
as I must work shortly, I shall continue this later, perhaps tomorrow afternoon…
