Biden Must Condemn ANTIFA

Antifa

Political violence is the enemy of a free, orderly, constitutional republic. Left or right, political motivation matters not a twit. Respecting rule of law is key, the only way a self-governing republic survives.  As ANTIFA steps up destruction across the West, in Seattle, Portland, Denver and beyond, President Biden must step up – and unambiguously condemn ANTIFA by name.  See, e.g. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/22/chuck-grassley-prods-joe-biden-condemn-protest-v; https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/antifa-s-inauguration-day-message-we-re-not-going-anywhere/ar-BB1cYsO2?ocid=uxbndlbing; https://www.foxnews.com/media/dana-loesch-antifa-portland-seattle-biden-democrats.

ANTIFA’s self-described credo, mantra and mission involve anarchic disruption, motivated by claims of equity, socialism, communism, anti-fascism, anti-Republicanism, and – operationally – Marxist-Leninist-Maoist anti-establishment violence.  That is their dominant method of operation, means for advancing their ideology – through violence not dialogue. They make no bones about it.  In short, they are fundamentally anti-American, bent on destruction not construction, rampaging not reform. See, e.g., https://www.foxnews.com/politics/what-is-antifa; https://www.nationalreview.com/news/just-an-idea-extremism-experts-explain-the-online-organizing-behind-leftist-riots/; https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/06/blmantifa_violence_is_prelude_for_november.html.

Honest national leadership – in both political parties – is on the spot.  Moral leadership requires an honest assessment of the “state of our union,” which is not good.  Pretending the nation is not roiled by ANTIFA violence, that it was not roiled in 2020, is simply untrue.  It is also disingenuous, to the point of becoming a fatal omission.  Silence, alas, can be deadly.

Yes, half the nation is profoundly disappointed in the election, the other half somehow content to ignore rising ANTIFA violence.  Biden is President – for better or worse – and now the show is his.  He must act like a president. That means calling a spade a spade and calling out ANTIFA.

ANTFA is the uninvited extension, as the “weather underground” was during late 1960s, of groups that raised legitimate questions about lingering societal divisions, national policy, and equal protection – but they are neither peaceful protesters nor legitimate anything.  They are animated by, and unrepentant defenders of, raw violence.

In the 1960s, BLM stood not for Black Lives Matter (itself now implicated in political violence) but for Black Liberation Movement, an arm of which was Black Liberation Army, another of which was Black Panthers, neither peaceful, both apologists for political violence.  That is not opinion, interpretation, discrimination, or disinformation, just facts.  Crosscheck these facts with on any objective historical tract, treatise, or website.

Then, take a deep breath, look out the window, and just think.  Look what we got in the 1960s, at both the state and federal levels. By moving too slowly against political violence on the left, we got mass destruction of property, death of innocent citizens, federal buildings attacked – eventually blown up – tragic high-level shootings, assassinations of a president, attorney general, and civil rights leader. We got chaos, division, escalating violence, and deep national hurt.

Here was a decade too when foreign adversaries took advantage. They perceived us as weak, provoked us, dragged us into an extended hot war, redoubled their investment in Cold War aggression, leverage and duplicity, missile production, nuclear ambitions, espionage activities.

They strived to widen perceived divisions within American society, bore holes in the planking of our republic, tried to sink us. They aimed to unsettle, wound, upend the American people – our cohesion, belief in ourselves, in our extraordinary, people-centric, trust-based government.

They almost succeeded. But Americans hobbled along, somehow aware, reminded by moral leaders that we are a unique people, more blessed than burdened by our history, endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.  We realized it was up to us, and we turned things around.  We realized it is up to each new generation of “us” – to protect the institutions, laws, ideals.

We are here again, alas. In this turbulent moment, the obligation of the American People is to stay firm and peaceful, not depart core principles, faith in institutions, nor in our history, each other, rule of law, our Constitution, or our collective resilience.

But there is more. The President – now Biden – and leaders on both sides of the political divide must step up.  If far right violence is anti-constitutional and it is, rising leftist violence, which is fundamentally destructive, outside our political process, unacceptable in America – must be roundly, directly, unambiguously, and swiftly condemned.

Law enforcement, state and federal laws, federal agencies and buildings, citizens and property must be completely, affirmatively, unapologetically protected, defended, and respected.  That starts at the top, with national leaders in both parties – especially with the President of the United States. Silence from him, would be unforgivable – and empower those aiming at destruction.

History is a wonderful teacher.  It involves far less conjecture and fiction, far more contemplation of facts and recorded depiction.  What does it teach?  Appeasement never works. Political violence not forcefully, specifically, immediately condemned begets more, often leading to a cascade of destabilizing political chaos from early offenders and those reacting.

To stop this cycle, to affirm belief in laws, in those commissioned to enforce laws, in civil discourse, in love of America – the world’s most exceptional, self-governing, constitutionally anchored, and resilient republic – leaders must speak.  The new president must stop signing executive orders, hemming and hawing, dodging a true call.  He must be equal to the moment, and unequivocally condemn ANTIFA and every incidence of leftist violence, just as he has condemned violence from extremists on the right.  Honest leadership is urgently needed. If we lose this moment, if President Biden does not speak out, we may lose more than the moment.  Enough said.

Biden stop Antifa. Just who do you thing the aggressors, were during the so called : Electoral College of the Capitol Building in Washington D.,C. Good people that stood outside and was shocked at the events that took place. They should be. They were a perfect target for the Democrat / Antifa Goons to make a big show, Have all the Republicans Blame Mr. Trump ( He was and is innocent) of all those noise makers. That doesn’t matter. The enemy used them for their own agenda. This was about the Electoral College and use it to to confirm Joseph Biden, as their elected President. It isn’t hard to see but as usual. The Republican Establishment screwed up again. So whats new. The Democrats are becoming to be known as the aggressors at all levels and the Republicans are a bunch of Noise Makers, with no loyalty to anyone but themselves and I might add just like the Democrats do. (but without China’s Aid).
The Republican Leadership had no control over President Trump and when the Republicans had the opportunity to get some work done for America. They sat on their collective hands and stomped around and did nothing.
Corporate D.C. is immune to the public. Once in, They are in for life unless the Party Leadership looses control and then the Money Dries up and the candidates are finished! Your Vote counts when they say so!
It wasn’t always like this but because of American’s Complaisance over many, many years! It is the norm now!
I could go on and on. Why?
I watched Mike Huckabee fall for the bull being held about the Capitol Building and heard but he did not see. As Usual with a lot of mouthing hosts for T.V !

Sorry Mr. Charles, this is a useless article. If anyone types in ‘Antifa.com’ on their web browser it goes directly to the Biden White House website. If you do not know this, it is to your discredit on this article. All of what has taken place over the last four years and through November 3rd is a slap in the face to Americans who think rationally. The rest are willingly deceived. There is an egregious sin of depravity and sickening demon Cult in this country which involves the kidnapping, torture and ceremonial consuming of children’s flesh. I believe Planned Child Murder is the activism behind it. This is why the Commiesocialist movement in our country so vehemently defends them. It is a multibillion dollar industry involving Science based research in extending Life Expectancy. Cosmetic and other skin products contain fetal and Placenta tissue. I also believe those who hold high authority positions and those of great wealth have a financial stake in this ungodly industry, and that is why the Left and Rinos in our government, and even in our Court systems support Abortion. Those within the demonic Cult supplied through child sex trafficking are even in our government of elected officials. The way these people act in their blatant disregard for Constitutional Law and not giving one damn about what we know about it, reminds me of when I first heard of what Mad Cow Disease does to those cattle that are fed their own flesh in their feed. These people, aren’t really people anymore, they’ve become demonic beings. I read where one source said that some had been made Clones. Well, it sure would explain a lot at this point!! God created man and breathed in him the breath of life and man became a living soul. Mad Scientists can REcreate what resembles a Man or Woman but without one main important qualification to make them a human being, an eternal living soul.
So, are we being governed for the most part by Clones?
I’ve got a word or two for Nancy Pelosi, “No matter what, God is in control of all existence. And He will determine the outcome of His Election!”

To paraphrase, history is a teacher, but only if history is taught as history occurred. We benefit from history so the mistakes and misgivings of the past are not to be repeated. But, unfortunately there are the uninformed and some well educated that exploit the ignorance of others.

I wonder if the pollical leader could be charges as Co-conspirators since they assisted after the crime by either ordering police not to stop and/or arrest the riot villains; or fail to prosecute or even hold them. Thus they did violate laws and endanger everone

Antifa must be outlawed by the President and Congress. If not, they will take over the entire country. They are maiming and killing, not only law enforcement, but the average citizens. Law enforcement must be allowed to arrest and make the convictions stand. Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line each time they leave their home to report for duty. They are being persecuted and this should not be allowed. Antifa wants no laws – they do not want a president of either party and they do not congress to make laws. They must be dealt with immediately before their rhetoric spreads across the country.

ANTIFA is an idea —- not an organization. Isn’t that what Democratic Predidential candidate Joe Biden once told the American people? Now President, this man will never publicly condemn ANTIFA, BLM or any other destructive Leftist Marxist organization. Why risk angering the base that so loyally supports his agenda? Besides, Biden has made it very clear that the real subversive threat is from the Right. Sadly, with mainstream media repetition, this is what many in the electorate will accept and believe.

Exactly! This level of unaddressed violence should have been nipped-in-the-bud when it started! But Leftist Governors and Mayors not only did NOTHING to stop the destruction, they supported it, FUNDED it, and in some cases, INCITED it! Why are THEY not being Impeached?! Trump had the opportunity to declare Antifa a Domestic Terrorism Group, but he failed. I do not see Biden’s “Handlers” allowing him to do it, either. This will come down to a street war.

We have let this happen! How you ask, we did not stop this in the 60’s, after they found out that they could get away with acts such as AFTA and BLM are putting on today they went to ground and started working to get the schools converted, was not hard work just steady. After 70% or better of the college professors were commie the high schools followed. There was a steady flow of commie educated business people that became todays bankers, CEO’s, and elected officials.
We that worked for a living, trusted/ignored, the elections after the first couple weeks of the new/same people in office. Trusted/ignored our schools, as long as Jake and Pattie, were getting fair grades, or coming home too messed up on drugs or booze life was good. What the hell we had to work, and get high or drunk or self!
Now we got that tiger by the tail and he has his fangs on our neck, would not help now if we did turn loose of the tail. I as a twenty year Marine stand convicted of all the above, and will soon face turning in my only real hobby (my hand guns and rifles), or paying a tax (that I cannot/will not pay) or going to jail or worse, as I watch a group of people that hate America destroy, America as we think we know it, and our way of life.
They say wait for two years the next election. Like the old boy that on the radio use to say WAKE UP AMERICA, you are too late. Look at the damage that has been accomplished in less than one week. I am angry, frustrated, and more than a little scared, but mostly pissed at me and us. Don’t know what the fix will be, at 76 year old, (and in good health) I know what needs to be done but most of the people I trust is not in the same condition or dead. It is their way to do so much as quickly as they can so we know not where to start at. So in closing this, God pleased do not turn you face from our nation, but your will be done! Gunny Joe

Let me get this straight. Joe Biden has two choices, 1) denounce the actions of Antifa, and Black Lives Matter, or 2) look the other way and let those thugs precipitate more property destruction, not to mention injuries and deaths.

Denouncing these liberal marauders might make Biden appear to be a responsible President, but ignoring the chaos in the large cities would embolden the violent prone liberal goons to perpetrate even more outrageous acts on innocent citizens and their property. Does anyone think that dementia Joe even understands the choices, …..or the repercussions? You can bet that Democrat backer George Soros does, the rich guy whose hobby it is to destabilize America.

It’s not very hard to predict what Biden will do. He will read the messages on his teleprompter with a straight face, ……(because he’s clueless). Those messages will cite Donald Trump, and all conservatives and libertarians as being the miscreants behind all political violence. It won’t be the first time that a political group blamed the innocent for the deeds that it brought about. Think about the brown shirts in Germany in the 1930’s.

Appealing to Joe Biden to act like a competent leader who could unite our divided nation, would be the height of futility. Joe Biden was never a bright light, and now that he is obviously afflicted with dementia, he lacks the ability to tie his shoe laces, much less lead a nation of 327-million people.
The Democrat hierarchy needed a puppet to act like a brainless dummy, Joe Biden was the perfect choice. Rumor has it that slow Joe was provided with a personal attendant who’s job it is to watch his body language and lead distressed Joe to the restroom and, then to operate befuddled Joe’s zipper. Hey, it’s job creation, right?

CNN got a repreieve from Schumer. He calls for the Trump joke trial to begin Feb 8. This gives
CNN another 2 weeks to bash Trump and claim that he is “current”. I thought that after inaug
day the Communist News Network would have run out of their agenda. But they have another 2-3 weeks left. What will they have to focus after, say, Feb 15. What will they do ?

First of all the second phony impeachment of President Trump is ridiculous. Someone needs to stop this stuff. Anyway, since so much negative stuff is going on, who do you contact to complain? I have written to Abagail Spa(m)burger, Tim Kayne and Mark Warner telling them that impeaching the President again would only divide the country further while their boss, China Joe, is calling for “unity”. His calling for “unity” is a joke as he continues to put out divisive executive orders daily. The old saying applies here, “Actions speak louder than words”. I wrote to Facebook today and suggested that they drop the aggressive political agenda trying to silence conservatives (for what it’s worth). Va has become a blue state although when you look at a map you’ll see a large portion of it as being red. We need help in Va!

Christ Jesus is coming back. Arguing over who mankind thinks is ruling this nation, or any other nation and arguing over who is right or wrong in our opinion only distracts us from the Truth and Fact that each one of us must get right with GOD. He is GOD, the Creator, King and only Ruler of the universe! GOD the Father sent His Son, Jesus, down here the first time to save us from our selves. Jesus is coming back to gather the children He has redeemed and His Father has given Him. All others and all evil will be destroyed. Now is the time to talk directly to GOD and submit to Him in order to become the child He created us to be. All for His sake and glory!

Ah, another “Biden and the Democrats better do this or very bad things will happen to America” article. What part of the Democrats have already seized control of both the WH and Congress, as well as intimidated the SC into silence don’t you understand?

The first action that Biden did after being sworn in and returning to the WH was to issue 15 executive orders and 2 executive actions. Pelosi and Schumer remain fully committed to an unconstitutional impeachment of a President that has already left office. In essence what they want to put on is a Soviet-era show trial, where they get to publicly flog a former President for daring to stand in their way.

Pelosi wants the National Guard to remain in Washington, D.C. until AFTER the sham Senate impeachment trial of President Trump is concluded to ensure the correct optics, of vengeful, petty little tyrants of the Democrat party, are showcased to the entire world. Just so everyone in the world knows they are “in charge” and they will lash out at anyone not on board with their agenda.

By the way, the question I asked was a rhetorical question. So no need to response back. This article reminds me of a similar interview I saw this morning with Karl Rove, where he echoed many of the same points in a recent WSJ op ed piece. It seems that many from the G.W. Bush administration think that the path back to getting another establishment Republican (Jeb or one of the younger Bushes) into the WH is this sort of approach. I don’t think many will be foolish enough to fall for it.

“Be careful what you wish for.” Biden is what the democrats wished for and now their wish has come true. Killing the Keystone Pipeline will put thousands of Americans out of work, and here comes $3.00 a gallon gas. Inviting illegal aliens into our country while many American citizens are jobless is repugnant and a slap in the face to those who badly need a job. Before COVID-19, the economy was surging, unemployment was going down and America was energy independent for the first time in a generation. Of course, Trump was President. But wait; there is more to come from Basement Biden. If you think Biden is bad, just wait until the democrats use the 25th amendment to oust him and install Harris as #47. I really fear for our country.
