You have to love the irony of peace activists turning violent as they are doing at the Republican National Convention this week. These self proclaimed anarchists march through the streets, dressed in black throwing bottles, knocking over trash cans and shattering store windows. They remind me of a bunch of chickens: feathers on end, clucking excitedly. They look so proud and important. Yet they’re so stupid and cowardly.
This is really how you activists are going to change the world? By smashing store windows with hammers? They seem to think that they’re making this grand point about the minor crimes that they’re pulling off are getting harsher punishments than the major “crimes” of the War on Terror.
They’re trying to demonstrate that our government is out of control by the way police are handling them as demonstrators. Of course, from what I understand the guy who is directly in charge of the twin cities (that would be the mayor) is a Democrat but these people never let logic get in the way of their arguments.
Case and point: These people say they are fighting the modern day Nazi government as enshrined by George Bush which only proves how ignorant and uninformed they really are. If our current government was anything like Nazi Germany, these guys wouldn’t be marching in the streets. They would be rounded up and taken to concentration camps immediately. Ironically a good number of protestors describe themselves as Communists. The Nazis shot Communists on sight. The fact that these people are still walking around is proof of how wrong they are.
History is devoid of open protests against Hitler. Is there any wonder why? The Gestapo would arrest people who were dumb enough to talk about their grievances in the streets. If you complained about the treatment as Hitler’s police were dragging you away, they’d backhand you.
There certainly were no batteries of lawyers with operators standing by to fight for the “rights” of the “political prisoners”. Friends of the enemies of the state were often investigated themselves.
If there is anything going on in all of this that reminds me of the Nazis, it’s the protesters themselves. The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) liked shattering store windows too. One night they actually coordinated their efforts at shattering windows naming the event “Kristalnacht”. Another favorite tactic of the Nazis was trying to cause chaos by goading otherwise innocent people in to fighting them. Sound familiar? Activists on Monday stopped traffic as a part of their protest.
Hitler had a purpose for all of this: he was trying to manufacture incidents that would be twisted by his propaganda machine and create sympathy for his cause. Does this sound familiar?
Self titled Communist Amy Good of “Democracy Now!” and her producers Nicole Salazar and Sharif Abdel Kouddous were amongst the people rounded up. The left wing blogosphere is already going crazy with charges of a tyrannical government squashing the freedoms of press. It’s their right and duty to bring us the facts and stories about what is going on without interference from Government thugs and they’re hanging themselves on crosses in their attempt at martyrdom.
The only problem is that in none of the stories or blog posts can I find what they were charged with. The closest I can get is Goodman’s self righteous accusation that she was trying to help her producers (one of which was supposedly bleeding.)
Amy was officially charged with a misdemeanor. Her producers were charged with felonies – meaning they were doing something serious even though I can’t find out what that serious was. I guess getting the story out means getting the story about everyone else out. It’s okay if they want to spare us details about why they’re in trouble and just buy their line about out of control bogeymen because after all they have a long record getting the story straight.
Yeah right.
It is really funny too because media types were rounded up during the Democratic Convention but that isn’t worth discussing anywhere. In fact protestors during that convention were dragged to barbed wire cages in a warehouse on the far side of town. But that too isn’t worth talking about.
You libs are truly pathetic.
