JAG Writes:
* It looks like the Mob is winning.
* Where are our national leaders that are standing up to the Mob?
* What are their names?
* Maybe I have missed some that are?
* Help me out.
* It looks to me like that old culture warrior,
Patrick J. Buchanan is right {article below}.
* The Mob is winning.
* Or more accurately, the Mob has already won.
* I think we need some General George Patton types in DC.
* Aggressive leaders and not meek followers.
* Looks to me like most Conservative leaders in DC are
scared to death of being called a:
~ Racist
~ Homophobe
~ Misogynist
~ Xenophobe
~ Nativist

"Are Uncivil Protests And Mob Violence Winning?
by Patrick J. Buchanan

Says Buchanan:

"Consider what else the radicals and rioters
have accomplished.

They have made mass civil disobedience an
acceptable and even praiseworthy form of
protest, if you are justifiably outraged. They
have won near-immunity for burning and
looting stores. Blanket amnesties at the
state and city level appear to be in the
cards."___Pat Buchanan


Buchanan Continues:


Start quote.
"“Durkan called for charges to be dismissed against
those who were arrested for alleged misdemeanors …
The mayor also said that Seattle arts and parks
departments would preserve a community garden
and artwork and murals that protesters created
within the zone.”

Hard to believe. Statues of Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and Theodore Roosevelt
are dragged down, while the murals and graffiti
of misfits who trashed downtown Seattle are to
be preserved.

This raises a larger question.

Have the six weeks of protests since the death of
George Floyd — weeks featuring riots, looting and
trashing of city centers, desecration of monuments
from Columbus to the Founding Fathers, presidents
and Confederate generals, proven to be a cultural
and political victory for the radical left?

More precisely, is the mob winning?

The case can be made that the mob has won
already
. People have gotten away with massive
demonstrations blocking roads, highways and
parks. Shopping areas in elite and working-class
sections of scores of cities have been torched
and looted. Police have been insulted, taunted
and showered with debris.

Result: Mob demands to “Defund the Police” have
been met by political concessions and capitulations.
Minneapolis is moving to abolish its police force.
New York Mayor Bill De Blasio has slashed $1 billion
from the NYPD budget. Protesters camping out at city
hall are demanding more."
End quote.
