You have to look at what was being protested. The Tea Party was protesting goverment spending and taxes. Yes, they discussed the issues over ice tea, and gave speeches, waved signs and went home. Protesters in Baltimore and Ferguson were protesting young blacks kids being killed by the police. One just might expect a bit more emotions here than white men's outrage over their taxes.[
Of course it probably won't come down to that, but let's face it, it is the left who is trying to start a civil war. They protest, attack and kill our police. .
Since when is protesting trying to 'start a civil war'? There is nothing more American than protesting. It was even embodied in our Constitution.
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
Who is 'killing our police'?
Criminals- who generally are neither on the right or the left- but are criminals- usually really stupid criminals.
The
only ones who I have seen calling for a Civil War here at USMB are the usual collection of right wing nut jobs.
Yes- and they are just looking for an excuse to be able to shoot Americans they don't agree with, thinking that in a civil war, they won't have to worry about being arrested for doing so.
It's not the left or the right? Where do you live, under a rock? Of course it's the left and these protests. What were the riots in Baltimore and Ferguson about, Republicans upset that there are too many criminals? No, they were the left upset with law, order and civility. They were upset with our police officers. Remember the chants "Pigs in the blanket--fry them like bacon?" How about "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" And yes, they've killed our police officers because of these "peaceful" protests.
You want to see a right protest? Dig up some videos of the Tea Party rallies. A bunch of people that gathered to hear speeches, drank lemon tea sitting in their folding chairs, went home the same day at a decent hour, cleaned up after themselves, and not one arrest. Not even a parking ticket. That's your right protesting.
Occupy Wall Street? People sleeping over for weeks at a time. Using streets, public buildings, public grass lands as toilets. People getting loaded, buying and selling drugs, a few reports of rape. Damage to public and private property, arrest after arrest, injured police officers. When they finally did leave, the left the place like a tornado went through the area. That's your left peacefully protesting.
Nobody on the right wants a civil war, but if the left is going to bring it to us, we're not backing down. When Satan opens up the gates of hell to attack good people, good people have no choice but to fight against evil.
