Anti-Trump Protests Intensify on Morning of Inauguration

You think the American Revolution was peaceful?

...

I don't know how to respond to that.

The American revolution was against a government. It was not a large group of idiots marching down the street and deciding to assault people and break ****.

The left wing, including the Obama administration, spent the last 8 years setting Americans against each other based on race, economic status, gender, and whatever else came along. They had, for all practical purposes, a "zero tolerance" policy when it came to even the smallest items of disagreement with their agenda. That same attitude is what we are seeing displayed in the DC protests yesterday and today.

I'll grant the left wing this much, they have been adopted by various anarchist groups which are likely the instigators of much of the violence. That being said, the effort of the left to rid themselves of that kind of "protester" or to disassociate themselves from those protesters has not been readily evident.

What a silly lie. The right has been playing divisive politics every bit as much, if not more, than the left. We didn't make a "conservative logic 101" meme.

Not at all. However, there are some 70 million left wing Americans in this country. Do you really think that a handful of violent people, cherry picked for the sake of the conservative fauxrage entertainment complex, well-represent all 70 million? Can you even honestly claim that the non-violent protestors are well-represented by the violent ones? The answer is no.

Hurr-durr, the protest is not directed towards the mechanism, but the person.

yes, the people have spoken, and the agreed to method of electing a president in a lawful democratic way, your so called "protestors", are essentially protesting democracy. or they are simply having a tantrum. which is it?

Attacking the source of your oppression v. attacking random stores and people that have nothing to do with it. Hmmm...

It is however interesting that you think anything going on here the founders would approve of.

Some of us still manage to value peaceful protest, even when part of the media is trying really hard to convince us otherwise.

Cherry picked? :lol: You guys go down the middle of cities all over the country and riot every few months or so and somehow the right wing is at fault for cherry picking things. The fact that the left keeps acting violently every few months tells me that the left has a rather serious problem in their ranks with people thinking it is ok to destroy property and assault people.

That's a really strange way of admitting that i was correct in implying that the American Revolution was violent.

Thankfully our founding fathers did not have nearly so cowardly an attitude toward protest.

But when some of them start throwing bricks into businesses, attacking people and police, and setting off smoke bombs, that's crossing the line.

What part of what MSNBC is showing right now at 2:32pm Friday January 20th, 2016 is a peaceful protest that you still manage to value?

War is violent. What is even the point of your argument? The revolutionary war is not at all comparable to what the left is doing now.

That doesn't surprise me.

Skinheads are isolated thin-skinned individuals incapable of accepting views other than their own.

Now that's irony...


Skinheads started as an offshoot of working class kids adopting among other things Northern soul, reggae and ska. As well as combining the looks of Jamaican rude boys and the mod culture. Back in the day where I grew up, lower east side of NYC, most of us weren't even white. :lol:

but hey, it was the same media that's been lying to you that's probably tainted your view of a subculture.
 
This is so childish. Democrats demand unity. They demand peace. Until they don't get their way. Then it is ok to burn cities down and risk the lives of innocent people whose only job is to keep order.

Um, if it was a democracy, we wouldn't have a president. If the president was elected by democratic principles, we'd have a female president right now.

You've missed his point, and you're conflating an organized rebellion fought by a militia and an organized army for a newly forming government against a tyrannical government that was restricting the liberty and freedom of those that rebelled. Your analogy is so far off on so many levels that it is not even possible for anyone to defend it as reasonable.

So just to be consistent, those protesting the elections of 2008 and 2012 were protesting the process?

PS...the election of Dump was not democratic, it did not reflect a majority popular vote. But again, the protests are not primarily directed towards the process, it is directed towards Dump, the person. I have no idea why this is so tough for you to understand.
 
These people don't seem particularly bothered by the inconvenience of employment.
 
Watching this one video of a stupid hippie holding up a flower to the peaceful officers who are just trying to keep order. Message is pretty stupid when it isn't the police slinging bricks at people.
