Strange rules exist in politics..... Dems calling for.... and committing violence against Republicans... is not their fault.... its the fault of Republicans for being so.... attackable.

Republicans calling out the vile rhetoric and the anti Americanism of the left is the same as calling for violence against the Dems.

Also note.... Dem Logic tells us.... Republicans and Christians are all bad and must be silenced.... but Dems and Muslims saying Anti Semitic Slurs don't really mean bad.... its just when Juice and Republicans hear it... then its bad... because the Republicans are Anti Semitic and Islamophobic!

If this makes no sense to you.... you'd be right!



Dude, this isn’t your blog.

This. I come to NS to discuss things, not to hear what people on other sites have to say. As much as I *love* the educated opinions at Breitbart, perhaps it would be more advisable to refrain from cross-posting a selection of comments from that site.

Diversity is the term that really means Liberalism, communism, and an attack on America. The greatest thing about America were the Europeans who started it with Christian values and the desire to create the greatest constitution ever created. Liberty, freedom, private property..... That's what makes America great, not Fooking Diversity!!!

Apparently “diversity” excludes white people, heterosexual men, and suburban housewives.

Breitbart doesn't represent what the more sane people think. Donald Trump's comments, for the most part, were condemned.

Trump speaks at level of 8-year-old, new analysis finds

It's always fun to juxtapose that against his claims to be the smartest President ever.

I mean it is illegitimate because despite being legal, the electoral college itself is illegitimate, but in all honesty I haven't heard anyone talk of muh "not my president" ever since early 2017. That is to say, except by fine people of intellect such as yourself while on a feable attempt to maintain your false "ebil democrats do the same thing republicans did to Obama for 8 years" narrative.

I interfered in the election by the means of posting on the Internet potentially influencing voters.

Will there be a congressional panel investigate the extend of sinister nakenaian influence in the elections?

Cool. We've established the relatively narrow circles that Tarsonis runs in and the presumptive nature in which he does it. Perhaps we can move on...
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
