    Then I'm hoping you're learning a thing or two about lending your support to the violent overthrow of our government.

    I never said you did. I said you implied it. Your refusal to accept that the protests were mostly peaceful is why I suggest you implied it.

    What's interesting here is the false dichotomy that you have created with this so called group labeled 'I and most of the right leaning posters' and the so called 'left.' Its merely a form of sophistry wherein a false group of angels and demons is created for the sake of creating a smoke screen so that a false narrative can be created. In other words, the poster is merely blowing smoke.

    To support the notion that this post is no more than frail smoke blowing, consider this quote:

    "the left has every organ of the establishment to cover up their double standards"

    The fact is that Fox news is very much a part of the establishment, so your smoke blowing has been exposed.

    That said, what the so called right (and I said so called right on purpose because there is little that is right about them) has been consistent in is pandering to white racism, and that is a problem that is coming back to haunt them. Not only that, but it is helping to destroy the US as we know it.

    No the riot started when right wing elites started pumping these types of people up to gain some temporary political advantage. What has been consistent is the right's stupidity and short-sightedness in this regard, and it needs to stop.

    Consider

    For all the virtue signalling we see from the Left about how they are for peace and unity, we sure see a lot violence and double standards.

    ABC News Political Director Calls for ‘Cleansing’ of Trump Supporters.

    When does love actually trump hate for the Left?

    Answer: We’ll tell you just as soon as the boxcar reaches the reeducation camp.

    Key points:
    • It’s not an insurrection when the Left does it
    • Yet another media personality wishing death upon you and yours
    • 2021 rides off into the Apocalypse

    When does love trump hate for the right? When its white supremacists tearing up stuff? Is that what they love? If not, then why do they consistently pander to such people?

    Typical liberal. Just blame every problem in America on the other side because your party can do no wrong. Biased much?

    You don't want to see anything other than what you want to see. That is your problem.

    please ride off with 2021 if you can't turn that frown upside down and help us truly MAGA ...you remember MAGA, don't you?
    we are peace, all day, until you insist we get up out of our chair and do something about it. now you want to bitch about a spanking, well you just keep crying and we'll give ya'll something to cry about. we're going to cleanse the corrupted Gmt. of traitors and deal with partisan hack Judges. you admit to insurrection, that's illegal, you should be turning in everybody you know if you care about Democracy, especially the many who want the entire Left to be exterminated. would that include yourself?

    why would I do that when the only nasty spec in God's glory is what you've pointlessly wrought upon this Earth.

    Fake News. The entire purpose of our government is to secure each other's rights. There is nothing particularly noble about securing the rights of everyone who agrees with you, the true test that demonstrates one's commitment to securing the blessings of freedom and liberty is when one works to secure the rights of those they disagree with.

    We have a long and rich heritage of just this kind of commitment.

    Why John Adams Defended British Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials
    The future American president represented Redcoats accused of murdering American patriots in an incident that helped spark the Revolution.

    [​IMG]

    https://www.history.com/news/boston-massacre-trial-john-adams-dan-abrams

    His neighbors were white-hot with anger, but John Adams believed that everyone was entitled to a defense. He thought there was a legitimate defense—and that the events were not as clear cut as some patriots wanted to make them out to be.

    [​IMG]
    After the volley, 5 patriots lay dead.​

    To give you a sense of the depth of fair-mindedness on display here, Dr. John Jeffries, testified that one of the Boston Massacre victims said on his deathbed that the soldiers fired in self-defense. He was able to see the situation from the viewpoint of his enemy that killed him and he was frankly truthful about it.

    [​IMG]
    The heavy handed red-coats were truly hated for their continual violations of the civil rights of the Patriots.
    The colonists were frustrated at the result, but they realized the trial had been fair. The mixed verdict was generally unsatisfying to the colonists—and yet they accepted it and the "reasonable doubt" standard that was first applied in this case, continues as a bedrock in our law.

    Patriots accepted the mixed trial verdicts without violence, demonstrating their faith in the rule of law. This is the standard we were born to, this is the standard we are called to uphold.

    No. None of you have.

    No partisans are ever consistent.

    Where is the condemnation of the Capitol attack in OP?

    "...the false narrative is that the riots are without merit..."

    OK now we're getting somewhere. Yes I believe riots are without merit. You apparently believe they can be justified, which of course is the point of this thread, so I thank you for your contribution to my thesis.

    Now please admit Trump didn’t use a single violent word to incite anyone to riot at the capital. Let’s hope you can admit it too. Let’s see if you can also be objective and honest?

    It seems that what you think is going on is that what I'm doing is calling actual peaceful protest rioting, when really you seem to be calling rioting peaceful protest.

    I understand you so much better now.

    You think this is flamebait instead of the fairly easily proved thesis that it is?
