So you're just trolling? Are you disingenuous wrt to the issue? Just a little thread crapping?

Look up the word outrage, maybe just a little righteous indignation.


Not thread crapping. I’m also not "outraged". Pointing out the differences in responses, and you’re trying to twist everything up using technicalities and such. Protestors across the nation protested something I’d imagine many on the right disagree with. They were allowed to do so peacefully without being attacked. Ironically at the same time protestors on the right were being attacked. Weird

It's not weird at all, the alt-right and antifa are two groups that choose to use extremists tactics.

He's not outraged, yet felt the need to go off topic


What is the topic, protests? I talked about one happening that same day.


If you can't figure out the topic, why are you posting?
You have thoroughly trashed this thread with your off topic postings.
This is not about antifa, its not about partriotprayer, its not about Oregon.
But you knew that, didn't you.

Oh, another one in a different place by the same group for the same thing as the OP, great, good job.

Or, if you actually cared about Portland's long standing protest battles, you would've started a new thread.

Your game is played out.

Why didn’t the “alt-right” attack any of the demonstrations in the OP?

You would likely know that information prior to me. No need to put quotes around the alt-right, that's literally what the extremist groups calls themselves.

Why do you ask what the thread topic is when you have an agenda that makes you unable to even comprehend what the OP was expressing. The topic of this thread was a shout out of pride Perknose had taken in his community, heavily and historically deeply red, rejecting that past in growing protest over the monster they helped vote in. There is a bridge that is beginning to appear in the aftermath of our 2016 temper tantrum, that latent American decency just might not be willing to cross.

Had you not been morally still asleep or actually dead to what a real American is, you might have recognized this.

This wasn’t a thread about protests, it was a thread about the love of decency. What happened to yours? How did the very important right of moral filth to express its opinion in Portland become so central a moral issue for you that you needed to crap in a thread on an expression of human decency?

Allow me to exercise my free speech and express my opinion that your sacred beliefs and moral priorities are whacked.

One thing I have noticed in my many years of self confrontation is that the feeling of disrespect and ignorance of my own self expression as a child by tha adults around me, created a desperate need to be heard, and that feeling expressed itself later in life as ridiculous and insatiable need to defend the expression of opinions, my own in particular, but also of others, both without regard to how offensive or distasteful to others they may have been and also with the same deaf indifference once shown to me.

I'd be interested in how many people protesting are traditionally republican, because what's being protested against should be an anathema to a lot of old school Republicans.

Damn UC, you ruined what was probably going to be a perfectly good circle jerk.

Good job!

Celebration of non violent protests is now a bad thing for the republicans in the thread so far, but they do t like violent protesting, so basically...republicans dont want any kind of protesting of their reign.

So many on the Right believe family separation is a good thing?

Oh, my... You know that's really fucked up, right?

Would this be the right place to talk about Christmas Tree protests

With all the Duhversions I figured this would be the right time.

If you're not for premature Christmas sales, then youre part of the war on Christmas, and Portland Oregon wants to talk.

D-Town Represent!

The crowds went down the street both ways far more than you can see in my craptastic video. There were maybe 300 plus folks there. It was . . . hot . . . out. I showed up to add my body to the crowd because I am a citizen of the United States of America, and what this administration did with these immigrant kids DOES NOT represent the values and ideals of the country I grew up in.

My area is long legacy Republican majority, but the times, they are a changing. In the last Presidential election, I was heartened that the four counties -- Chester, Montgomery, Delaware and Bucks -- of "The Delaware Valley" of SE PA all voted for President Hilary Clinton, as did American voters country-wide, by a margin of more than 3 million votes.

All four counties have been historically Republican. The county I grew up in, Delaware County, voted for Alf Landon in 1936, in the midst of FDR's landslide, for instance.

I still tell my friends in Philly that I live up with the Cows and Republicans in Bucks County. ;)

Anyway, don't blame us, we voted for Clinton!

You should have hired an illegal to protest for you and at least given one a job.
