Bring it on, I'm ready.
Let's see how the cowards who run around dressed in black with black masks really like it when people go after them. I bet they all will have to change their panties when the party is over.

or hire Betsy DeVos's brother (Blackwater) to "protect the nation"...

Husband has worried for while about this--ever since the 08 market/housing crash

I agree that following the media too closely heightens anxiety but there is a lot of rage in today's society which manifests itself in various ways

I just don't think a country that has been built around guns and vigilante justice is going to turn the other cheek if push really comes to shove...
There are plenty of liberals --not just antifa--and minorities who own guns...that is not just alt-right goon territory...we just don't flash them in 7-11...
lmao,,,you and your husband are blind partisans if you think it's Trump that's hoping to start anything. Just look at how the MSM (Leftists) are putting Antifa on a pedestal and making excuses for their violence. That only emboldens them. If ANYONE starts anything, it will be them, with the help from Democrats, DNC and the media.

Ok, that means being intolerant towards Leftists. I'm down with that.

This is very true. And of course the liberal-biased media plays it up to the hilt (nothing new).

And we know that the majority of these so-called activists are organized and paid by George Soros.

Amazing that some think President Trump is dangerous and they're wrong, they're as wrong as they can be.

George Soros, Al Sharpton and their cronies are the ones to fear.

Right, anytime I imagine fighting Fascism, I only come up with using Fascist tactics.

Well I just heard a report about an active shooter in Charleston. If anyone is wanting senseless, stupid violence it's here. Careful what you wish for....

Ah yes, the love of harming your fellow americans who disagree with you. What a patriot, and OH SO brave!

Civil wars are among the worst horrors imaginable, anyone cheering on the idea of one in the US is among the worst examples of humanity.

So you denounce Antifa, Black Bloc and BLM! Thank goodness some of the liberals are waking up.

We now have a president that has given the green light for these types to come out of the shadows and be proud.

Why do you think I want to live in a Communist country? I'm politically moderate left but I guess in your mind that make me a communist. Meh, whatever floats yer boat...
What you said in your post are communist traits. Everybody has to think the same; nobody can have a independent thought. Where did you learn such crap? What you just described is what the left is doing right now. I am 71 years old and have never seen such hatred in this country in my lifetime. You may make people speak what you want to hear but you can't make them like it. Good and evil will always battle each other. Better let people speak their thoughts freely so you know who is who and what you are dealing with.

Just in case you don't realize it, I think you need to know a communist movement is what we are dealing with right now. Obama was raised by a communist leaning mother and had many communist friends. He hates America because we are a free country but it looks like that will not be lasting long. It is terrible that people are being fired and bullied just for saying what they think. Trump is the same age I am and we both see the wrong direction this country is headed. We are a nation of laws that many of you think should be ignored. I fear for the next generation but my faith thinks it will be O. K. Please learn to think for yourself. The country you save may be yours. And even more important; learn you don't know it all and learn to respect the speech of others. People marching saying to hate other groups of people will never take hold in a free speech country.

Out of the whole country the groups demonstrating in Charlottesville have about 5,000 members. The ones we all need to be concerned with is that 40,000 college indoctrinated marchers in Boston. That many people drinking false Kool Aid is problematic.

And here is an example of why we're getting close.
