    The writing is on the wall. It's in plain sight folks. The left is not trying to hide this. Im not a right wing nut job. But, there is a storm coming. I do really believe that there will be blood shed and a tragic ending to all of this. The double standard is glaring. Now the dems want to re open, business, schools, etc.. The very thing they accused the Right of doing. I am all for it. But I think it's very interesting that now they want it and want it now...BS

    Let me give you my grandmother's (father's mother) phone number. She is 89. Her father died in a concentration camp in Poland when she was a girl. Talk to her and see if she agrees with you.

    I'd find that a fascinating perspective. Whether there was an analogy or not...

    There were and are today levels of evil in these regimes. The ones targeted for elimination, those that are willing compliant and those forced into compliance out of preservation. Those in each group, such as in Germany, saw/see these regimes at different level.

    as I wrote earlier, my Grand Parents/Great Grand Parents came from Czechoslovakia, they seen the power of the Nazi's first hand ..... it is why they came to America ... What the Biden administration is going to do, is from the playbook of the most evil regimes ever ... I was right about Obama, and he will pale in what is about to happen next under Biden and Commie-la ....... mark my words ...

    Then I assume you are happy to explain the double standard? Riots for the last 4 years were applauded as Americans standing up for what is right and a march on the capitol was labeled a treasonous act and people are being arrested and losing their jobs over it. When Federal buildings were occupied in Portland and others, all was forgiven by the liberal media and powers to be alike. Now, the same action by conservatives is labeled domestic terrorism. I am very seriously asking someone with a more liberal or moderate leaning to please explain to me the difference and why. Dead serious about this one, I really want an answer.

    Ahhh your correct and thank God I'm " moon struck", (you will need to look that up) in my full spectrum veiw on events. To have such blinders on as to see ONLY the specific pin point of events through history , to block out all historical connections in consequences would be much worse.

    Trial, those who are ignorant of past history, only allow those mistakes to be made again .... Biden is well on his way as being a huge mistake ...

    Fletch what double standard is there in the historical comparison of any of todays events to genocidal extermination of say six million people by nazis in Germany and occupied Europe? Because that is what your making reference to when you quoted me. Maybe you feel differently and should explain yourself in that, but I am very sure your think it's an absurd comparison as well.



    However in regards the the Riots/protests of the last year and the protest/storming of the capital. I feel that anyone , regardless their of group, leanings or persuasions defacing public or private property are equally abhorrent. Personally I think they should all be punished according to their respective crimes.
    If you think that I am somehow answerable for hypocrisy of politicians or the media or anyone other than myself, then I would be interested to know I gained such an exalted position?
    That would be like me asking you to answer for politicans on right that decried the roiting in the summer but gave credence or sympathized to those people responsible for capital tragedy? I don't believe that answer is incumbent on you. And quite frankly the whataboutism gains nothing for anyone.

    So it should've been apparent, violence and the damage would be criminal. The trespass, when you push through the fences, also a red flag. Sorry, no sympathy. What started as a protest definitely got well out of hand. And no doubt went way rabid. Sure, call it a riot.

    But, when the media spoke it at a coup, I roll my eyes.

    Now, apart from the 2020 protests that also turned riotous aside, I had forgoten this closer to parity example (less the violence and damage)... The quotes by the Dem reps around this event, fascinating, in contrast.
