This is a very interesting conversation (via WiscoDave).  We seem to be in a weird transition phase between empowered prosecutors and dystopia.

That’s lying in wait to take a life, and the Scriptures categorize it as murder.  So what did Antifa/BLM do?

They thought it was just special.

The Sheriff’s Office put out on social media that protesters were blocking the entrances to the hospital and ambulances and paramedics were having difficulty getting through.

To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling "We hope they die" referring to 2 LA Sheriff's ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People's lives are at stake when ambulances can't get through.

Antifa/BLM dress trashy and dirty.  They allow their bodies to become trashy because of lack of personal hygiene.  Their choice of clothing is trashy.  Their speech is trashy.  The people they hang with are all trashy.  Their intent is trashy.  Their world and life view is trashy.

Yes it’s true that they are all communists, and that makes them loathsome anyway.  But beyond that, they’re all trashy people.  Their mug shots look awful, they’re all ugly, they have done rude things to their bodies, their women try to make themselves look terrible, their men try to make themselves look like women, and it’s obvious that they hate themselves as well as others.

Antifa and BLM are trash.

David Codrea.

“There’s no voting our way out of this,” the more bellicose voices on gun boards and in blog comments sections will declare. “Molon labe!”

Ya gotta wonder how many of these would-be warriors have ever actually involved themselves in using the remarkable system bequeathed by the Founders before deciding that “Civil War 2” will be the less demanding course of action. If that turns out to be the case, ya also gotta wonder how many anonymous chatroom tiger talkers, who won’t lift a finger while things are still easy, will prove to have what it takes when they become cataclysmic.

Readers know that I’ve always made my own philosophy clear.  Never turn in your weapons.  Never.  Ownership of firearms is a God-given right.

Also, vote for the candidate who best represents your philosophy.  We never get the choice of the perfect candidate – we haven’t in my entire lifetime, and that even includes Ronald Reagan.  Reagan appointed O’Conner to the Supreme Court, withdrew the Marines from the ME after having been attacked, and opened the borders due to the first amnesty.  On the second issue, the argument can be made that the Marines should never have been there to begin with, and while that may be true, they were, and allowing them to be attacked without retaliation was the weakest thing I’ve ever seen a president do, with the exception of leaving good men to perish in Benghazi.

I would still vote for Reagan today over any democratic candidate.

Perfection in a candidate is never one of our options.  But I’ll tell you what.  You know the platform of the democrats, and it includes passing children through the fire, i.e., sacrificing them to Baal.

I’ve never been quite able to understand men who can go to worship services and drive away from the parking lot with “Obama” stickers on their bumper, except for awful pastors who won’t teach the truth.

Doing this or doing that, voting or refusing to turn over firearms, is not an either-or choice.  It is a both-and choice.

Trump has been awful on firearms ownership.  President Kamala Harris would be worse.

It’s a terrible thing for the American public to be so stupid to think that any of this has to do with climate, and to be so cloistered and gullible that you must believe the FedGov when they tell you this has nothing to do with the communist revolution.

When the enemy tells you exactly what he’s doing and why, and when people refuse to believe it, the enemy is winning.

Then there is this.

Then there is this:

I had seen this piece before and honestly felt robbed of the five minutes of my life it took to digest and then regurgitate this drivel.  But since David links it and makes some comments it brought the acid reflux back and I decided to post on it.

Concerning “boomers.”

Sacrificial Lamb nobly attempts to explain to the Boomers why they are, and will probably remain, the most despised generation in recorded human history, before they pass from the stage…

This sounds like a first grade class in a temper tantrum.  I want it all, and I want it now, now, NOW, NOW!

First of all, as we’ve explained before, sins do not redound to guilt of those who did not commit them.

” … the Biblical doctrine is, as Deuteronomy 24:16 makes clear, one of individual responsibility … guilt cannot be shifted to others or passed on to the people around a man.  Guilt is non-transferable; a disposition or nature can be inherited, but not guilt.”

So before posting such idiotic tripe again, the author should go do some study.

Second, there is historical misunderstanding in this tripe.  “Boomers” … whatever that is, are not per se responsible for the mess in which America finds itself.  Someone has been asleep.

This all began long ago, with Horace Mann, who decided that the state owned your children rather than you, and that you are unqualified to educate them in either mathematics or morals.

Social Darwinism took hold many years ago, and invaded the church.  The manifestation of the project at that point was to jettison the creeds and councils of the early church in favor of falsehood.  Communists infiltrated institutions of education, and mathematics and physics were jettisoned in favor of social management.  Those graduates taught the children who taught the children who taught the children who today teach your children in centers of communist indoctrination.

Wicked men brought premillennial dispensationalism to the American church, in which the church decided to sit back, wait on the “rapture” (which isn’t taught in the Scriptures), and turn over sports, Hollywood, entertainment, scholarship, and government to the evil one.

You see, this project has been ongoing just about since the beginning of the republic, and in fact, this project has been going on since Genesis Chapter 3.  Every individual who didn’t do what God commanded is guilty in some way, but let me make it clear, individuals are guilty and will answer for their own actions.  Generations are not guilty.

I can recommend some very good studies in the American project, how it started well, and how it was hijacked.  You can begin with many of the books and papers R.J. Rushdoony wrote, beginning with “This Independent Republic” (you could also study C. Gregg Singer [Theological Interpretation of American History] and Douglas Kelly [The Emergence of Liberty in the Modern World]), but let me make this one final thing clear.  You need to read thousands of pages in order to understand it.

Misunderstanding theology and history (the title of this post) occurs because you don’t know theology and history.  You’re an impostor, not a scholar.

Writing about a first grader temper tantrum is unseemly and embarrassing to the authors, even if they’re too stupid to know it.

Matt Bracken.

So let me be very clear: if Democrat Party governors, mayors and DAs have hamstrung their police for political reasons, and won’t allow them to protect the lives and property of their local citizens using all required force, abandoning their primary mission in order to bow to the ABR mob, then it is time for their undefended citizens to apply the clear intent of the Second Amendment. There should be deep regret about the abandonment of the Rule of Law by the Democrat Party political ruling class, but there should be no moral quibbles or hesitation by American citizens concerning the legitimacy of armed community self defense, in the absence of expected law enforcement protection.

Therefore, it is my carefully considered opinion that black-clad and masked ABR mobs, rampaging and terrorizing innocent citizens under the cover of darkness in the style of the KKK of old, may morally and ethically be taken under preemptive fire by armed citizens at any level necessary to drive them out of their peaceful neighborhoods and away from their businesses, before the terrorists can reach their targets and throw their Molotov cocktails and other explosive and incendiary devices.

I agree with all of this, for reasons not mentioned.

First, in today’s America, I believe in the right of lethal action to defend property.  In OT times, robbers became slaves to the ones from whom they stole, until they paid back the debt in multiples.  Failure to honor that obligation of debt would get the robbers thrown into a pit at the edge of town and rocked to death.

Today in America, the FedGov sees debts as to society, and the offended never gets relief.  Insurance doesn’t even come close.  The laws and rules under which we currently live were intended for people who no longer exist.

Second, and perhaps most important, I would turn you to an article I wrote in which I cataloged an elderly couple whose home had been invaded, and after plundering the home, the invaders doused the couple with gasoline and set them on fire, killing both of them.  I won’t bother to find the link.

You cannot entrust your safety to an assumption.  You do not know the intent of the invaders, and maybe they don’t even know their intent.

Third, even if the rioters don’t intend to douse you with gasoline and set you on fire, there can be unintended consequences and collateral damage.  It’s extremely dangerous to have rioters and looters rampaging through neighborhoods.

Regardless of intent (which can’t be known anyway), women and children can perish.  Men cannot allow that to happen.  Men cannot allow increased danger to come to their loved ones if they can stop it.

Having said all of that, be careful.  Your enemy isn’t just Antifa/BLM.  Your enemy is the state as well, who will prosecute you for self defense.  They did with Kyle Rittenhouse, and they did with the McCloskeys.  They’ll do it to you too.

American Thinker.

Clara Kraebber, 20 years old, the school-smart, life-dumb, over-educated, under-knowledgeable daughter of wealthy, highly accomplished parents, recently profiled on this blog for her protest demonstration temper tantrum for over six years, is currently confined in her family’s second mansion — complete with four fireplaces to complement the ecologically correct heating system — in an upscale Connecticut suburb, awaiting the next step for damages caused in a riot in which she participated.

Elsewhere, some of her peers are also suffering similar fates.

Elliot Rucka, 20, nabbed in the same riot (I repeat, not “peaceful protest”!) as Kraebber “that caused at least $100,000 in damages, authorities said,” is also the offspring of prominent parents …

Meanwhile, shed some tears — perhaps of laughter — as Natalie Van Norman, from the comfortable California beach suburb of Redondo Beach, sobbingly wants to know “Where the f— are my rights?” as she is arrested up north in Portland.  Not so amazingly, she showed no concern for the rights of the average Portland citizens whose lives and businesses have been upended in the 100 days — count them; they did — of violence as she dashed from the taxpayer-funded ambulance where police placed her to be treated, at taxpayer expense, for injuries sustained while she resisted arrest.

Loewy Malkovich, a software engineer in Portland and son of noted actor John Malkovich, joined other rioters as they violently protested against the middle-class police trying to protect their union building and other middle-class businesses.

Andy Ngo notes yet another.

I said in an earlier post that “This is just a bunch of bourgeois, trust fund white kids being supported by their parents.”

I was partially right.  It’s a combination of those and the very poor.  The very rich and the very poor have aligned to take down the middle class.

That’s you and me.  They want to destroy the middle class.  All communists do.

Because the mob apparently owns McDonald’s too.

When he touched him, that was assault.  He should be hunted down and thrown (back) in prison.
