You got that right. Namely, Bannon.

Well you know what they say about opinions. They're like a certain body part. Almost everyone has one, and some smell worse than others.

Being that they are both based on race, and the action of the "our lives matter" people seem to indicate that the lives of others don't matter... it's not as far apart as you think.

Well we say what happened when they tried to peacefully protest. They were attacked, violently by antifa, radical leftists.

Strawman argument. Michael Brown robs a store, resists police, winds up dead, and Obama says we gotta talk about race. Joke.

Pride based on race is stupid. Dividing people up based on race is stupid. Both groups are wrong for engaging in this behavior.

I am for absolute freedom, freedom from oppressive/bully government, freedom from manipulation and propaganda, and freedom for people to seek happiness, fulfillment and enrichment in their lives. So long as the rights and freedoms of others are not disrupted in this pursuit, of course.

Politicians and race based movements will never take you there. That responsibility rests squarely on our shoulders as individuals. That is why it is up to each individual to seek the best path towards prosperity for themselves, instead of rioting, disturbing the peace, and infringing on the rights of others. It is up to individuals to become empowered to accomplish the goals they set for themselves in life. It is wrong to expect the government, or other people, to do what you can and should do for yourself.

Live and let live, and you will be much happier.

Those protestors..I bet most of them have never had a job, they are sissified snowflakes who think life is a Tom Clancy video game. They use their allowance to buy torches and march around talking tough...then they go back home, get cozy in mom's basement and turn the x-box back on.
I can only assume this post was satire. Because it is all bull****.

If they're protesting the removal of statues then they can leave the swasticas and hate speech at home.

I find this need to remove statues of people like Lee ridiculous. Men like him fought for their homes, not slavery. I doubt most of us would openly admit it, but in their position you'd choose your home and the people in it over the federal government.

Ultimately, it was 150 years ago and whether you agree with it or not, it's still a part of our history. But whether history is invovled or not, there is zero reason to tolerate the flying swasticas and yelling things that I'm sure will be censored here.

I just don't understand, a pet peeve of mine is hypocrisy!

1 president doesn't call out a hate group specifically=cool

Another president won't call a hate group specifically= HATE!

Quit the pearl clutching and be an American!
