Tragedy and Division
The
State of Virginia was, again, the scene of home-grown terrorism,
this time taking the life of a brave, young woman, in her 30s, who was
standing up for her beliefs and courageously and righteously opposing
neo-Nazis. With not much other than confusing reporting by the
mainstream media to go by, it appears that those who were simply against
the removal of a Confederate statue did not, by and large, attend the largely neo-Nazi rally.
The terrorist act that day injured several more people. There is great sympathy from the Revived Citizens Party for the victims, and condemnation for any terrorist. Thanks to President Donald Trump, who condemned the terrorists that inspired this latest act of terrorism on American soil.
Some left radicals, however, are taking a page from one of their heroes, Saul Alinsky, and trying to use this tragedy to broad-brush and tar with nefarious tags anybody that doesn't agree with their overall philosophy or globalist outlook. Now, anybody that doesn't agree with them, by and large, is a neo-Nazi; not that this tactic is anything new, but just more prevalent. A leftist in the Seattle area used this tactic just recently, regarding his apparent distaste for all supporters of the president. Saul Alinsky tactics 101, unfortunately.

Post-script: Seattle's ethically-challenged mayor, Ed Murray, has gotten on the memorial removal band-wagon, and believe it or not, wants to remove a relatively tiny Confederate memorial from a cemetery. Of course, this blog is not a supporter of the old Confederacy, but also doesn't support, in general, removal of historical markers or memorials, especially those erected within a generation or two of the event or person's or persons' passing. Admittedly, it's interesting where a lot of these memorials and markers, outside of the old Confederate States, are located.
