White nationalists haven't been a problem in the US ever since the Demoncrats stopped backing them.<br /><br />Humans, as the ancient Hebrews, always needed an Azarael escape goat. Put all the sins on the goat, chase it out of the holy place tent/ark, and drive it over a cliff so that it dies and will never come back contaminating the people. Even Japan has a similar legendary ritual.<br /><br />The ancients had witches, christians, cathars, heretics, and minorities. Americans had blacks, Mormons, other minorities, and women to look down on. Modern Americans have white people... shrugs.<br /><br />Humanity is the problem. Maybe when humanity gets killed, then the problem goes away.<br /><br />The feds and the gov, have been ordered by the Deep State to create the conditions for a Red vs Blue, white vs black, man vs woman, race war.Ymarsakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-64225737077788547932017-12-11T15:18:52.118-05:002017-12-11T15:18:52.118-05:00Of course I understand that the First Amendment on...Of course I understand that the First Amendment only prohibits government interference with speech or assembly. There's no private duty to give aid or comfort to these odious types, and I don't blame the winery for not wanting to be in any way associated with them. It could only hurt them as a business, even apart from moral considerations.<br /><br />The problem is that the government isn't protecting them either. When they rallied in Charlottesville, the government denied their permit at the last minute and then used the police to drive them into the arms of the protests. Then the government came after them every way it could, e.g., as mentioned in the article by banning one of the guys from the country. This is supported by the culture, which hates these views (for good reasons that I share). <br /><br />So the cultural hatred for these viewpoints is enabling the government to get away with sliding off its duty. Probably other viewpoints are safe that are not so much detested, but... well, but. The slippery slope is a logical fallacy in that there's no guarantee you'll go down it, but we've seen our culture and government sliding right on down it every time it's come up recently.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-68440740323573887082017-12-11T13:45:46.314-05:002017-12-11T13:45:46.314-05:00I agree with Texan.

It's a general breakdown of law and of due process. And while the one deprecates the ability of fringe extremists to disarm themselves with their own foolishness, the other cheapens the legitimate charges that should be investigated.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.com
