    That is in fact the irony. Anti-Fascism should be a noble enterprise, but not when it uses the violence of its opponents.

    No need to fear Trump being anything like Hitler given your opinion that "Trump is by far the worst public speaker I've ever seen".

    Trump falls short of Hitler in many areas, body count and a propensity to use violence against political opponents being just one. I think Trump is racist but he can't hold a candle to the general anti-Semitism that existed in Europe during Hitler's era.

    So you judge them by the name they've given themselves rather than their actions? It shouldn't be that easy.

    Yes, mentor, in your Trump-hating, self-annointed omniscience, I'm sure you do feel that you know why Trump's effort was no Salute to America -- and that with your vastly superior mentality, you also know "why".... :spin:

    I differ with you, and I'm seeing an unfortunate day coming when we, Left and Right, will SETTLE our remarkably different opinions about a LOT of things, as well as our different visions for the United States, once and for all. It is finally coming to that.... Better get your ANTIFA 'paladins' ready....

    Right. However there is no evidence of Donald Trump ever having been a racist. There would have been some evidence of this during his 50 or so years during his very public life.

    I'm not sure what you mean. I think that Antifa has two elements - a group that feels they are fighting extreme right wing elements (which let's face it exist and are dangerous) and within that group is a violent element. That subgroup is nothing new in protest movements and many peaceful protests are plagued by jerks who want to break things.

    It's really sad to watch the left throwing a tantrum about celebrating the birth of our nation. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I am. We live in the greatest country in the world, but there are the leftist who are acting like spoiled little brats by burning and crapping on the flag? Who raised you?

    To know if patriotism is real or fake you first have to know what patriotism is.

    Given the cameras, antique boomboxes, old clothing and setup, this is at best from the early 1990s, and maybe much older.

    Maybe Righties who like to copy and paste old propaganda could try to update their rhetoric a bit?

    At least after the year 2000?

    What 'extreme right wing elements are those? I see them beating on innocent people and seriously damaging public property but have not seen them challenge any 'extreme right wing elements'.

    You have a point.

    You don't. You could but you need to hold your politicians accountable for messing up. They need to pick it up.

    The "Salute to America" turned out to be exactly the opposite of what the left-wingers claimed it would be.

    It's funny how that always seems to be the case.

    Their opposition to anti-Semites in Charleston is just one example. Both the protesters and the violent factions of Antifa were involved there.

    Wrong. Guess again.

    If you prefer video, there's some from today with revcom lighting a flag on fire in front of the White House and throwing it on a uniformed Secret Service agent. You might enjoy that one.

    Then why did Obama say he wanted to "fundamentally transform America"?
    Why are you describing yourself?

    Bad day for flyovers.
    They kind of looked like the old news reel movies of WWII in black and white.
