Portland is a mess

[BlackBellamy]

Anyway, riots.

Editorial: Where is the leadership?

https://richmond.com/opinion/editori...f2a41982f.html

When will...City Council members acknowledge that putting down riots to protect lives and property is a very real function of their elected positions? Keeping mum and refusing to take action in fear of making tough decisions is not governing. It is cowardice. Enough is enough. Show some leadership.

Those are pretty harsh words from Richmond.com/Richmond-Times Dispatch which is pretty liberal as far as media outlets go and generally supportive of whatever the local Democrats are up to.

I'm getting a feeling the continuous alternate media coverage (such as independent streamers) is finally breaking through the 'peaceful protest' mantra being promulgated by the mainstream.

Where were Barr's mallcops when rednecks were taking over the state capital in Michigan? There was no FPS in Michigan to deploy?

If there's a problem in Portland, Seattle, etc, let the citizens of those towns/states punish their elected officials at the ballot box. Trumptards are on the wrong side of this, but they know it. They just don't care because it's all about learning the libs and they're too naive to think it could happen to their side down the road.

Being a republican used to mean something. It either doesn't anymore, or it means something ugly. Fighting fire with fire is one thing, but now they're supporting fighting stupid with stupid.

Several undercover members of Khufti PD transporting an incestual trans activist in an unmarked barge. Notice the belted cargo skirts. What a giveaway.

I'm sure they were guarding the federal buildings and FCI Milan down the road while they watched the non-destructive non-spray-painting non-rock-throwing non-arsonist dork crew file into and out of some state building.

This was almost my exact thought, word for word.

When I joined the Republican Party, that night Governor Reagan appeared to me in a vision. 'Come with me BlackBellamy', he said and I took his hand and we flew to the Land of Conservatism.

'You do know I'm a former Communist?' I asked him.

'It's ok, look at that young law clerk down there, that's James Comey and he's going run the F.B.I. one day' he chuckled like only Reagan can. 'He's still carrying his card, unlike you.'

Relieved at receiving his approval, we flew on in silence. Soon we approached the Right Gate and were let in by William F. Buckley and his boyfriend Barry. We walked the rest of the way, approaching a lake of the purest water I have ever seen.

'That's the Pool of Conservatism" he said anticipating my question. 'It is filled with the purest substance in the universe'.

'Conservatism?' it seemed obvious to me but I still asked.

'No,' he explained like a stern yet patient parent, 'It's filled with Hope!'

'You don't understand?' he shook his head and sighed. 'Take a squat, I know you like that, and I'll explain.'

Suddenly wearing an Adidas tracksuit, I let his gaze fall on me and filled with his warmth and love I listened.

'Hope is generated by all living things. It collects here but it also flows through the universe. Every being wants to live in peace and prosper. To be surrounded by family and friends, to express themselves, to build for themselves a better life in safety and good health while surrounded by love and friendship. This desire extends to everyone and manifests itself in this form. This is Hope.'

He paused, one of those famous pauses I would see later in life right before he gave one of his jokes, but this time I could see it was important.

'Hope is fragile and Hope is naive. Excess Hope can seize men and torment them just the same as the lack of it. Men seeking Hope can be deceived, they can have their desires turned against them. Men need to stand strong in the face of temptation. But alas many are not, and their weakness can pollute these waters until they stand for nothing'

He let that sink in. I had a sudden vision of Lyndon B. Johnson with his dick out pissing right into the pool but it passed quickly!

'What can we do?' it was a simple question whose answer would form an ideological foundation for the rest of my life, but little did I know it at the time.

'We must be the Shepherds of Change my young friend' he said. 'Change is inevitable and it's almost always good, when it comes at a pace that is Right. Sometimes change comes too slow. Progress is slowed, so we must give men something that drives them forward. We must allow them to compete, to challenge themselves. We must remove barriers to competition and allow Hope to flourish!'

Then he grew stern. 'But the greatest danger is from those who propose the least restraint. Some are emboldened by Charlatans, some by wrongful thinking, and some are men like other men, and thus Evil. They think not of consequences or they care not and grow more powerful as they promise the Hopeful masses the Earth and Heavens Above!'

I knew he was serious by his noticeable use of capitalization.

'It's up to us to damper the flame, but we must never snuff it out.' he was looking right at me again. 'There is a delicate balance but we must never forget that the best Change is the one that come Slowly and Deliberately'

'Slowly and deliberately' I repeated like a moron. 'So that's why I should be a Republican?"

His face fell. I could see I was failing him.

'No. That's why you should be a Conservative!'

'But this dream is because I joined the Republican Party and you're a Republican..."

He struck me then and I welcomed it.

'Republican! Democrat! These things mean nothing, they're just names, if the Republicans are more Conservative than the Democrats that's fine but your loyalty can only be to the Idea. Look! Look at those waters again!'

I did and then I finally understood. I knew then what was important and I realized that while the task might be enormous, nothing would be so rewarding as selflessly working and sacrificing so that others might have a better tomorrow. Conservatism Über alles!

I turned to Reagan in my newfound joy but he was gone.

I was back in my bedroom.

My tracksuit was gone.

Yeah man, and when they come and burn *your* house down, take no action to stop them! Just change hearts and minds at the ballot box! Sure your house is a pile of charred rubble now, but at least you didn't support trump's STORMTROOPERS. I do not really like trump at all, but bending over backward to make excuses for this insanity is beyond naive
