Somebody's going to die over the out of control Left's abusive actions. Who will be first to set off the firestorm?

Thank you Lexington, VA for standing up. Against RED HEN AND THERE OTHER COMPANIES>

Very appropriate for the building to be painted red. If leftists want this as an "icon", they better add a hammer and sickle.

Now even she can not eat in Lexington in peace. The sign in the window though is a little confusing, because she does not have much love. Wounder if the workers will be paid by her anyway because it was their decision according to her.

There WILL be something violent, maybe even by someone on our side, or faked, or by right wing lunatics and it will all be SUCCESSFULLY blamed on the left.

And so it will go...

Come on Patriots .. go Support her/them there.. I would if I were closer.. and Fuck the Civility Police.


"The Red Hen owner is right. Stop defending decorum and do something about Donald Trump".


snip//

As Donald Trump lies and his anti-immigrant smears turn into child abuse, you can act like it's normal or, like the owner of the Red Hen, you can do something about it.

snip//

This near perfect example of misguided rage from the president’s backers has not stopped the civility police from leaping to the defense of our precious decorum. Nor has another pointed Trump attack on a private business, or his near daily Twitter missiles aimed at due process, the rule of law and special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation

snip//

The problem is these critics are doing exactly what Trump’s fans did. They're attacking those with no power for trying to make their voices heard amid the shrill screams of the biggest demagogue ever to sit in the Oval Office. They're aiming their rhetorical eggs in the wrong direction.

snip//

The fear of giving Trump exactly what he wants and thus empowering him into even greater horrors is often used as a cudgel. Critics use it to bash almost anyone who makes the brave decision to risk rebuke from the most powerful man in the world — a man who wields that power the way a 2-year-old wields a rattle — and his rabid fans.

These lecturers imagine that a measured, monotone Jeb Bush-like response to the Trump administration will make this all stop somehow.

A WH spokesidiot was asked to leave a restaurant. Drama much? And also funny how this was uncivil, yet numerous DEATH THREATS against people who own restaurants that just happen to have the same name EVEN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY somehow is ginger peachy. These wingnut s are totally untethered from reality.

How to counter that whole psyche ?

We certainly can not "go gentle into that good night."

Use of facts with some INTENTIONAL emotional content ! Spread EVERYWHERE we can !!! 24/7

There is a difference between an unconscious, uncontrolled display of anger over a perceived slight, and true conscious, INTENTIONAL, righteous fact-based anger.
