Need to stand up to idiots. Hitler would have folded on the bridge if the other army had dispersed his group. They did not and it emboldened him.
Look what happens when we stood up to NOKO.
Ronnie was the man!
You're right, we wouldn't be in the place we are now if government officials and law enforcement would have grown a set and started telling these malcontents NO.
NO - You can't set up tent cities in the middle of parks and public areas and call yourself "occupy"
NO - Rioting and property damage IS NOT freedom of speech.
NO - Interfering with the public's right to go about their business IS NOT freedom of speech.
NO - Blocking streets and entrances to stores IS NOT your "right".
We gave them an inch and they took the mile.
Once again proving that when it comes to the left...... "If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow."
It started with the hippies and groups like SDS grew from all that "FREEDOM". Protests are fine in my world but they have to be like MLKs type of protests. Once you start going full bore you're inching into anarchy which we had a sample of at UCBerzerkly.
This is the original and most effective communist Russian interference in America. Academia is still full of marxist. You know, the ones Hussein writes about seeking out.

My deceased brother had all the makings of an Ocasio-Cortez. He was a Chicano Power advocate, a Columbia University student, and a Liberal atheist, newspaper columnist. Oh how many arguments we had and when he couldn't bring a viable retort he would always tell me, "tu que sabes" (what do you know). It turned out that I knew more about life than he did where he suffered to support his family and me who had none of those "virtues" did not. I guess having a God fearing, conservative outlook helped me more than his progressive leanings.
