Really? If so, please provide proof. There is none, btw. Now, a year and half on, no one is still making any such claims because it didn't prove true. Arrests, convictions, etc. Not to mention the pride some took in their anarcho-communist chaos. It is anarchy, rioting. Chaos is the goal of Communists to bring about a people's revolution. I don't believe the right wing currently has such an ideation. Y.

I could change everything from Seattle to Portland and it read true. I agree there is a similarity between the two time periods, on many levels. Anarchists are repulsed because the see the similarity and must instantly deny. They broke over a half million in glass in their last march in Portland.

That protest organizations are not required to have a policing plan leaves them negligently vulnerable to the violence and property destruction to which Cliff objects. The requirement for protest organizations to have a self-policing or external policing plan should be legislated. Free speech does not organizational responsibility, nor should it license organization without protection against anarchy. <br /><br />For an example of how it has been done right, see the numerous articles about how Yolanda Deaver invited the Camden, NJ police to join a peaceful protest march after the killing of George Floyd. <br />https://www.inquirer.com/news/camden-george-floyd-peaceful-protests-20200531.html Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919277561577787336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-20288545673674086802021-02-01T13:48:40.362-08:002021-02-01T13:48:40.362-08:00Amen!

He did not state or imply that there was an equivalency of the events and times. Speaking personally as a Jew who has spent a great deal of time thinking of the Shoah (Holocaust), and the roots of fascism, I see some similarities between the intolerance on both the hard right represented by Trump and the radical left. Both use intimidation and both dehumanize the other sides. Cliff is to be thanked for his work, at least by me, as a citizen, teacher and scientist. He has zero to apologize for. I get that you wish to ensure that people do not trivialize the Holocaust. This was no such event in what he wrote. Read it carefully with eyes open.

I wonder if you know if he compared the BLM/Protesters or SPD/Law Enforcement as the modern day equivalent of yesteryears Nazis?<br /> As a 1st generation Jewish American, I also take exception when comparisons are made that conflate Nazi germany of the 1930\40’s with the current events,however awful and Unamerican, with those of these modern times under president trump. <br /> It only serves to trivialize the murder of the 6 MILLION. <br />I’ll see if I can find his comments online,or perhaps you could forward me a link to it ? <br />Emotions run high, and the station made its choice to censor and remove a valuable voice of science and climatology, who unseemingly wandered into the realms of social and political science. <br />Perhaps Dr Mass deserves a 30 second on air spot for his apology and admission of an error in judgement.So we can all move on and get back to his and Bellamy’s Friday segment? Or as A-Rod put it, a “MISTAKE “.

I think there are Marxists assigned to troll sites and to give the impression that the BLM has broad support.

Love your enemy and pray for him. Bless those who curse you. Do not worry about what you will eat or what you will drink or what you will wear. Your Father in Heaven knows you need these things. <br /><br />Today is the day of your salvation. Repent of your sins, ask Jesus into your heart, confess Him as your Lord and Savior, and be baptized. He is coming soon to deliver His church from the wrath that is to come on the whole world.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806076466188025979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-21902528451650133392020-08-16T03:25:29.233-07:002020-08-16T03:25:29.233-07:00https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate...https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate-you-heres-why/Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101713884752756606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-71186024611694364242020-08-16T03:24:29.903-07:002020-08-16T03:24:29.903-07:00That’s right.

Not only did they wreck the tradition of peaceful transition of power, they’re attempting to encourage widespread destruction and mayhem in order to further suppress the economy and blame Trump. It’s madness, but what’s even madder is that a large portion of the population sympathetic to their views has allowed themselves to be brainwashed essentially into believing that what is happening now is good and normal.<br /><br />Real protestors for social justice, like MLK, like John Lewis, would find this violence and carnage unacceptable. MLK was called the America Gandhi. That’s the kind of protest tradition we must return to. It’s far more effective anyway. It would be simple to invoke these figures in our contemporary fight against racism, but no Democrats are willing to stand up for liberal western values anymore. Our society is in trouble if we allow the neo-marxists and critical race theorists to control a major political party. As well, their BLM party planks are 100% marxist in origin too.Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101713884752756606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-68369877394209693722020-08-16T03:13:09.827-07:002020-08-16T03:13:09.827-07:00I would encourage everybody looking for answers ab...I would encourage everybody looking for answers about the riots and the ideology of the people causing violence check out James Lindsay.
