So, here’s my question.
What do people, who are so interested in freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, think they will accomplish by blocking those who are seeking the same rights and freedoms but have a different point of view?
It would seem logical that there will be clashes of these ideals, as one believes in those rights so long as the viewpoint is the same as theirs, much like the Nazis and the Communists in Russia and China and Islam. All those who have contrary views are either eliminated or displaced so as to allow for unity of their thoughts – no others allowed.
American freedoms are being exposed and they are aligning more with the fascists of Communism, Marxism and Islamism more and more. Good thing the percentages of the general populace of these short-sighted and selfish groups are the minority and the common-sense majority still have the patience and temerity to hold their rising anger and temperance below the boiling point.
The time of restraint seems like it is melting like a spring lake thaw. Hope the Commies and followers of the prophet (who shall remain un-named) know how to swim in very cold water.
Really nice to see the Police towing the vehicle blocking the highways and arresting the agitators.
Its Sheriff Joe Arpaio territory, he doesn’t EFF around, one of the few lawmen in the country who still does his job, WHEN it needs to be done.
Let the kids runs the house. The ones that don’t earn anything. What could go wrong?
I would have bulldozed them into the ditch.
Liberty for me but not for thee types who are protesting here. It’s what fascism looks like.
You are describing the Left, they only believe in free speech if it agrees with their ideology. This is a good example of what the American people are fed up with, this could give them exactly what they are protesting against,Trump will become POTUS. Most of these boors have no clue what they’re protesting,they’ve possibly been hired by some of the same assholes who protest issues right here in Canada, a bunch of thugs who have no real jobs.
If those who protest Trump aren’t enough to make you want to vote for him, not sure what could.
Think about it: the fringe left abhors Trump but Cruz rallies? They go off without a hitch.
Oh and I read in the comments somewhere that it’s a federal crime to block commerce. Not everyone on that road is going to see D.T. If I was there I would plant my ass in the driver’s seat of one of those cars and claim it as salvage of an abandoned vehicle.
It will be worth having Trump as President just to hear what he has to say about Justine the spawn.
These leftist flotsam would rather use their time to try and get the change they want with disruptive, violent protests. Trump’s supporters will use their time at the ballot box and elect a President. Who is being more effective? 😀
That 66% is now down to 59%. More SDAers votes needed now.
7 plus months away from a vote and this is happening, egged on by Fox ABC etc and the despicable old Soros and the establishment politicians, one has to wonder why, what is so worthy of protection from the eyes of an astute “businessman” that these lunatic lefties would coagulate like this? These people are crazy, there was a time when the crazy were shunned and kept in hiding, now they are given podiums and millions from the evil bastards that have made their billions under the framework of capitalism, to attack that very capitalism..Unbelievable but here it is.
America loves a winner and despises a loser. Donald never lets us forget that he is a winner.
The Tolerant Left on full display for all to see … tolerant of ALL ideas (except those with which they disagree) 🙂
Their goal isn’t to get trump elected. It’s to get him nominated.
And then be destroyed in November.
During one of the news segments on FoxNews this morning they showed the anti-Trump protest in New York City. There were a number of the anarchist flags visible among the crowd. Same flag that Nestor Makhno used in Russian Civil War and Spanish anarchists used in the Spanish Civil War. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/qt-a_%28a%29.html
In my experience, all of these leftist protestors believe they are recreating the anti-Vietnam war protests of the late 1960’s. They have been told by their college professors (sic) that they can STOP anything they don’t like or don’t agree with by radical action and protest. Tear it all down, maaaaannn.
What they don’t understand is that not all “causes” are equal, and not all actions acceptable. This sort of trampling of constitutional rights won’t play well in America. This kind of shIIIIt-show may work in Argentina, Brazil or Colombia … but NOT in America. These protesters are simply galvanizing support for Trump. Their leaders are WRONG … this is NOT winning converts, nor dissuading support for Trump. Their “cause” is not equal to a half-assed war in Indochina started by a dead-Kennedy.
BTW … the actual TAX-paying citizens are going to have to FIRE police who do nothing to stop these protests. and if little police departments lack the manpower to deal with it … then we will simply be forced to become a police state. Just another unintended consequence of these simple-minded rabble-rousers.
Sean 2:43PM “Think about it: the fringe left abhors Trump but Cruz rallies? They go off without a hitch.”
Very simply, the reason the protests are at the Trump rallies and not the Cruz rallies, even though Cruz is more of a conservative and further to the right than Trump.
Is because they know Trump will destroy Hillary during the campaign and beat her in the general election. Whereas Cruz’s attacks on Hillary will appear more misogynist coming from him, and he’ll never win the general. Trump will have a bigger tent, including Dems and blacks. Did I mention that Trump isn’t a conservative,,, neither was Romney,,, but at least Trump has a back bone.
Zerohedge is featuring this video of Oprah interviewing Trump 25 years ago.
“I’d make our allies pay their fair share” “I’m tired of seeing what’s happening with this country.” “I’m tired of seeing this country ripped off.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOKi5YeNtRI
Say what you will, but Trump is consistent.
Consistent on who he votes for?
On abortion?
On immigration?
And a dozens of Other things?
THE most consistent thing about trump has been how inconsistent he is.
I think it is the exact opposite – they know trump will get levelled in November. He trails Hillary in almost every poll – especially in purple states.
CAS – It’s now 68% NO! The headline compared to the results of the on-line poll is exactly opposite. It shows which way IPSOS leans…
I know it’s off topic, but this thread is somehow intertwined and it does involve leftism’s version of “truth”..
@Gord Tulk:
“Their goal isn’t to get trump elected. It’s to get him nominated. And then be destroyed in November.”
Like, I totally accept your analysis. Like, it’s a conspiracy man. Like, you know, it’s planned! Like, like SPECTRE or something.
REALLY? You give those leftist morons far, far too much credit.
And by the way, besides losing their vehicles, 3 went to jail for blocking the highway. Good plan.
I must say that I’m enjoying the pin head explosions on both left and right.
How many of the organizers/financiers are getting their cars seized/incarcerated?
Carl: “Think about it: the fringe left abhors Trump but Cruz rallies? They go off without a hitch.”
As a Trump supporter said last night on Fox, that’s only because Cruz isn’t the one leading. Let’s never forget all GOPers are racists, according to the progressive potentate and its university dumbed down duffus enablers. Trump is but the latest incantation of their hatred of anything as LizJ says, that doesn’t fit their ideology (which it is, in the most classical sense of the word). Many GOP gravy sippers agree, apparently out of their self-interest.
The leftist identity politics rioters get a free pass because since they’re cool but hate what Trump says, so clearly hateful, insert racist, therefore they have a right to stop racists from getting their HATEFUL message through because it’s WRONG (after all nobody wants a racist for president. A indictee? C’mon racist: only she is entitled to due process) – by having a meltdown, throwing punches and shutting down all dissenting views, with debates an unnecessary use of the mind when they “know” in their hearts they are “correct,” with no need to challenge their conclusions of the world, hewn from the seminar room or mom/dad’s basement suite, surveying the mailbox for their next allowance/entitlement, pondering others’ bigotry & unearned wealth.
The ones is Salt Lake City were asked what their problem was with Trump. Besides saying they hate him in their various self-serving ways, we got profanity laced invective. Charles Krauthammer is quite sure Trump supporters words equal Trump haters actions (the crucible of his unworthiness), though the Torstar called it a “clash,” with not one report of violence, except the “protesters”). I guess the “tone” hadn’t set in yet with the Trump attenders whom he was unable to whip into violent frenzy. Remember: words are bad; but actually organizing a violent event – “fighting for us.” No thanks Hillary.
“Crowds who chanted “Donald Trump” were met with “Mr. Hate Out of Our State” as police in riot gear blocked the entrance to the Infinity Event Center in Salt Lake City. Protesters tried to rush the door of the building and got into screaming matches with Trump supporters who were barred from entering the venue. According to KSTU-TV, people who were exiting the building were being pelted with rocks. Some protesters were seen tearing down a security tent that the U.S. Secret Service used to screen attendees before they entered the building.” IOW the Trumpites were peaceful, despite being assaulted. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/03/19/trump-supporters-protesters-clash-outside-rally-in-salt-lake-city.html
My guess is some people didn’t want to get their butts kicked. Of course that would be Trump’s fault. Not the idiot who rushed the stage in Chicago recently, “clashing” with several security guards, only to turn up an hours later, after the cancellation announcement, in a fist fight with whomever he could. Sorry, right – Trump made him do it without even entering the building; such unadulterated nonsense.
Trump does use strong language, punch him in the face, I’ll pay some misguided 80s old school who had enough with cowardly twits acting in threatening manners towards others (they’re allowed since they’re not racists, they just hate it and have extra sensory powers to spot racists in a crowd); that’s true. IOW Trump knows how to face down a bully. I doubt he’ll be toning that down, and attendees are now asked to let security officials deal with provocateurs. But if some idiot starts throwing punches, I don’t blame Trump one bit for saying “punch him in the face.”
Then again I’m not going into the thing with the prejudiced (aka bigoted) thinking Trump is a redneck racist. Far from it actually. I think the public will say no deal to the freedom of speech censors.
Protesters who have morphed into blockaders preventing people from driving on public roads deserve to be arrested or in the absence of police, invite and earn kinetic persuasion. They win if the common decency of people they infringe upon prevents them from applying kinetic persuasion and instead alter their actions. Shutting down democracy is the same as inviting the only alternative left which is brute force. Progressives are looters and thugs and anyone who disagrees with them is a Racist, Nazi, Poo Poo head, etc.
yah well no Gord, pols have been soooooooooooooooooooooo accurate lately. Hillary can’t debate, and Trump will level her when they have an at it. Will Trump win, maybe maybe not, but there could be a lot of Berny supporters who stay home, and the blacks aren’t too keen on the witch. And if Trump pulls in some centerists plus some Dems, he’s good to go. Only Nov. will tell, so git yer crying towel ready, Justin case you are wrong!!
The polls have by and large been very accurate. Go through the primary results like I have and you will see maybe one in twenty was wrong. Certainly the average at rcp has been a very good predictor with the one real exception being Michigan and many think that that was because of comments Hilary made 48 HR befor the vote.
Stop calling them protesters: they’re Brownshirts.
Heard someone mention today that Reagan trailed Carter by 25% in March.
And don’t forget that Mulcair was supposed to win our last election right up until the point that he didn’t.
Monster Trucks & Dozers at the ready.. a Grand jury arrest warrant for George Soros.. The brain dead children are all alone without mommy or daddy….
The group funding the anti-Trump campaign are DEMOCRATS… The head Loon was on FOX spouting the usual Marxist nonsense. NOT A REPUBLICAN
Zeppo, I totally agree.
I would also add don’t call them NAZIs or fascists either because that would credit them with some measure of political acumen. In fact most of them are mindless thugs filled with self-importance based exclusively on belonging to a group of mindless thugs. “Brownshirts” are simply the tools of their evil masters notwithstanding political ideology and they will kowtow to whatever force that strokes their fragile egos. Brownshirts is a good name.
You sound like the soccer fan who sits by and watches the Hooligan’s antics with indifferent amusement … entertained … right up until they set YOUR section on fire … and YOU get crushed to death under the collapsing stands. Enjoy your indifference, but remember that it won’t inoculate you from the destructive consequences.
With all due respect Gord, I used to wait for your take on things political,,, I think you are still drinking that Danielle koolaid on this one. Hopefully Donald can shake this UN applecart up otherwise we will be communicating through thermoses and tooth filling radios not the internet, in a Justy/Hillary run north America.. Yes I’ve been to the war museum of Akershus castle Norway.
Ken:
“Managed decline”, whatever that is, is not really much of an option for me, nor for anyone else in this household, as you well know.
I well remember the words of a Canadian soldier, who went over Juno Beach, with a brother or two, who were both lost at Caen, when the Germans counter-attacked: “It was not in our nature to withdraw”.
I’m seriously okay with Trump in the GOP, and am looking forward to “America being great again”.
“THE most consistent thing about trump has been how inconsistent he is.”
Absolutely, or to put it in different words, the most consistent thing about Trump is that he wants Trump to be the next president. Those who disagree with the above, please point me to an example of Trump, consistently holding on to some set of controversial unpopular political beliefs. The floor is yours, don’t be shy, go on….
… crickets chirping….
But his absolute lack of principle, in the eyes of a typical voter (whose attention span is roughly comparable to that of a retarded amoeba) may work to his advantage. Everyone will be able to find something they like. It also means that once he wins (and I believe he will) those who support him, will be rather surprised with what they got.
“Will Trump win, maybe maybe not, but there could be a lot of Berny supporters who stay home, and the blacks aren’t too keen on the witch.”
And you expect them to stay angry at Hildebeast for how long? And you expect them to be soooooooooo angrrrrrry that they will hand the victory to Literally Hitler Trump? Really? A week after Bernie is done his supporters will all fall in line to stop Literally Hitler Trump and all past squabbles will be quickly forgotten.
Literally Hitler Trump will still win but not because of Bernie supporters or blacks staying home. He will win, because he is a perfect candidate for low information voters, for the 60% of morons in the middle. Since he has taken a principled stand on both sides of every issue, everyone will find something they like and since they worship him the same way other idiots worshiped Ogabe all proofs of Literally Hitler Trump’s inconsistency will be ignored as propaganda. He would be a perfect leftist candidate, well he sort of is, every second day or so.
Agreed. In my opinion for what it is worth we have been experiencing “managed decline” for quite a few decades now. Kind of like the left took words attributed to Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s, “Two steps forward, one step back”, and have been running with them ever since.
“The press is our chief ideological weapon.” Nikita Khrushchev
“I once said, ‘We will bury you,’ and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.” Nikita Khrushchev

It wasn’t that much less than 10 if I recall. Bush trailed Dukakis by 18 prior to the convention.
But the dynamic in both cases was very different. No one has had negatives as high as trump and won.
And unlike those two his statements will be used by the left to energize their bases of support.
“Literally Hitler Trump will still win but not because of Bernie supporters or blacks staying home. He will win, because he is a perfect candidate for low information voters, for the 60% of morons in the middle”
Oooh, just like Turdeau in Canada.
Riot against the people’s choice!
Absolutely, Literally Hitler Trump, Ogabe and Justine have a lot in common: they appall to the nonthinking morons who are too lazy and too stupid to listen to arguments especially if these include words with too many syllables. Literally Hitler Trump is beating the left in their own game… his supporters (the thinking fraction of them that is) may pause here for a second and reflect on the wisdom of the old saying: “be careful what you wish for, it may just come true”.
I used to read PJmedia, NatReview and some other “conservative” blogs regularly in the morning, while awaiting my coffee and boiled eggs. Now, no more. Although not a Trumpet, I am revolted by these so-called conservative medias, assault upon Trump, whose only crime is to be popular without their beneficent assistance.
Well , I am here in Tucson , I was in the byway blockage, several police cars were there and ambulance…typical liberal protest.
They are so lucky I was not at the front of the line , I was on my way to phoenix to pick up my wife and daughter that I have not seen in 4 months my wife is pregnant as if I am stopping for these shitheads.
Lol just think of the news headline
Canadian plows through protestors rest of America follows….lol.
Trump/Cruz
66 % ? ? Is that like 97% of scientists agree . I’m pretty sure if you take a poll on SDA it would be a lot less than 59 % . But then the readers here know what a dog does to polls !
am I being too simplistic here in asking if the for example very common American foreign policy view of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ applies here?
do the protesters/fascists/brownshirts/whatever WANT the romney types back on top and in the running? do they? the entrenched special interest gang, cater to the lobbyists because they finance the next campaign specialists? do they?
election rule #1: vote for the one who will do the least damage. and that is . . . . ?
So, here’s my question.
What do people, who are so interested in freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, think they will accomplish by blocking those who are seeking the same rights and freedoms but have a different point of view?
It would seem logical that there will be clashes of these ideals, as one believes in those rights so long as the viewpoint is the same as theirs, much like the Nazis and the Communists in Russia and China and Islam. All those who have contrary views are either eliminated or displaced so as to allow for unity of their thoughts – no others allowed.
American freedoms are being exposed and they are aligning more with the fascists of Communism, Marxism and Islamism more and more. Good thing the percentages of the general populace of these short-sighted and selfish groups are the minority and the common-sense majority still have the patience and temerity to hold their rising anger and temperance below the boiling point.
The time of restraint seems like it is melting like a spring lake thaw. Hope the Commies and followers of the prophet (who shall remain un-named) know how to swim in very cold water.

Absolutely, or to put it in different words, the most consistent thing about Trump is that he wants Trump to be the next president. Those who disagree with the above, please point me to an example of Trump, consistently holding on to some set of controversial unpopular political beliefs. The floor is yours, don’t be shy, go on….
… crickets chirping….
But his absolute lack of principle, in the eyes of a typical voter (whose attention span is roughly comparable to that of a retarded amoeba) may work to his advantage. Everyone will be able to find something they like. It also means that once he wins (and I believe he will) those who support him, will be rather surprised with what they got.
“Will Trump win, maybe maybe not, but there could be a lot of Berny supporters who stay home, and the blacks aren’t too keen on the witch.”
And you expect them to stay angry at Hildebeast for how long? And you expect them to be soooooooooo angrrrrrry that they will hand the victory to Literally Hitler Trump? Really? A week after Bernie is done his supporters will all fall in line to stop Literally Hitler Trump and all past squabbles will be quickly forgotten.
Literally Hitler Trump will still win but not because of Bernie supporters or blacks staying home. He will win, because he is a perfect candidate for low information voters, for the 60% of morons in the middle. Since he has taken a principled stand on both sides of every issue, everyone will find something they like and since they worship him the same way other idiots worshiped Ogabe all proofs of Literally Hitler Trump’s inconsistency will be ignored as propaganda. He would be a perfect leftist candidate, well he sort of is, every second day or so.
Agreed. In my opinion for what it is worth we have been experiencing “managed decline” for quite a few decades now. Kind of like the left took words attributed to Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s, “Two steps forward, one step back”, and have been running with them ever since.
“The press is our chief ideological weapon.” Nikita Khrushchev
“I once said, ‘We will bury you,’ and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.” Nikita Khrushchev

It wasn’t that much less than 10 if I recall. Bush trailed Dukakis by 18 prior to the convention.
But the dynamic in both cases was very different. No one has had negatives as high as trump and won.
And unlike those two his statements will be used by the left to energize their bases of support.
“Literally Hitler Trump will still win but not because of Bernie supporters or blacks staying home. He will win, because he is a perfect candidate for low information voters, for the 60% of morons in the middle”
Oooh, just like Turdeau in Canada.
Riot against the people’s choice!
Absolutely, Literally Hitler Trump, Ogabe and Justine have a lot in common: they appall to the nonthinking morons who are too lazy and too stupid to listen to arguments especially if these include words with too many syllables. Literally Hitler Trump is beating the left in their own game… his supporters (the thinking fraction of them that is) may pause here for a second and reflect on the wisdom of the old saying: “be careful what you wish for, it may just come true”.
Right, then:
Back at you, and here’s why, as you well know:

I used to read PJmedia, NatReview and some other “conservative” blogs regularly in the morning, while awaiting my coffee and boiled eggs. Now, no more. Although not a Trumpet, I am revolted by these so-called conservative medias, assault upon Trump, whose only crime is to be popular without their beneficent assistance.
Well , I am here in Tucson , I was in the byway blockage, several police cars were there and ambulance…typical liberal protest.
They are so lucky I was not at the front of the line , I was on my way to phoenix to pick up my wife and daughter that I have not seen in 4 months my wife is pregnant as if I am stopping for these shitheads.
Lol just think of the news headline
Canadian plows through protestors rest of America follows….lol.
Trump/Cruz
66 % ? ? Is that like 97% of scientists agree . I’m pretty sure if you take a poll on SDA it would be a lot less than 59 % . But then the readers here know what a dog does to polls !
am I being too simplistic here in asking if the for example very common American foreign policy view of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ applies here?
do the protesters/fascists/brownshirts/whatever WANT the romney types back on top and in the running? do they? the entrenched special interest gang, cater to the lobbyists because they finance the next campaign specialists? do they?
election rule #1: vote for the one who will do the least damage. and that is . . . . ?
