If the pro-confederate statue protesters were all protesting based on the historical aspects of the statues, I'd be very sympathetic with them. Unfortunately, way too many white supremacists got involved. Rowdy counter-protestors were inevitable at that point. I tend to overlook just how leftists many of the counter-protesters were, just because the Nazis needed to be countered.Middle-of-the-road swing voter. Feel free to sway my opinion.

Antifa want the conflict. The supremacists want the conflict. Which is why I say both are equally guilty of wanting to incite violence and both should be condemned.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

I think it's hardly tenable to write off the alt-right as too fringe to take seriously given that there is one senior adviser in the White House who has explicitly (by name) allied himself with them."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYes, Steven Bannon did once say that Breitbart was "the platform of the alt-right", but as with anything, context is important.
Of course that was before the left embraced the term and attached to it every hateful ideology they could think of, including those that have their roots in liberalism.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

it used to have a much broader meaning. these days almost everyone who still identifies with the label is at least a white nationalist and the media uses it as if every member walks around in a white hood swinging a nazi flag around. The more moderate individuals previously associated with the label have long stopped using it."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I strongly disagree with the hatred and racism espoused by the protesters, but I'm neutral on whether or not the statue should be up. It seems like more people want to take it down, and I don't mind them doing that, but our country has bigger problems than statues of people on the wrong side of history.Find my speling strange?
