A monster went to Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend and used his car to kill a pedestrian standing on the street. This criminal deserves the worst the law can do to him not to mention that his name should become a black mark in history. But, liberals don’t deserve to use this creep as their focus for moral outrage or to use him as a weapon to attack “the right” because liberals wasted their moral authority by ignoring the many deaths and other outrages perpetrated by members of the Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street movements.
After literally years, now, of liberals claiming people from “the right” are “dangerous,” “bloodthirsty,” “murderous,” “violent,” and any other label they care to use, the left finally got their monster. But on the way to this ONE guy “from the right” who committed murder, they’ve time and again ignored murderers when they came from within their own ranks.
Before we get to the left’s wasted moral authority, though, we need to clear up so definitions.
There is factually no difference between Nazi-styled racists and the Black Lives Matter movement. Both are racist groups bent on separating their favored races from society and creating a segregated section for themselves. Both constantly spout hate against every race but their own. Both have been responsible for riots, property destruction, and deaths. In fact, BLM is guiltier of such things than any Nazi, Alt-Right, or white supremacist group. But they should be loathed equally, and both denounced as domestic terrorist groups.
Yet, the left will use this James Alex Fields, Jr., as a rallying point to claim that “the right” is dangerous and deserves to have their free speech curtailed.
First, we need to clear up this “the right,” nonsense.
White supremacists are not from “the right.” Neither are Nazis. Modern white supremacists have no traditionally American political affiliation. If you think they are part of the conservative side of the aisle, you are simply ignorant of what they say about themselves. They do not identify with the conservative political ideals of small government and individual responsibility.
White supremacists also do not love America. They hate our religious freedoms, they hate our individual freedoms, and they hate that our society is generally a meritocracy wherein regardless of race one can “make it” based on his personal talents. They want a race-based society enforced by the power of government. Those are neither right-wing nor conservative ideals.
Indeed, the original American white supremacists, the deservedly hated but currently powerless Ku Klux Klan, came from the Democrat Party. So, they are hardly from “the right.”
Nazism is now and always has been a left-wing ideology. It is socialist in origin and does not contain a single tenet that can be aligned with the American conservative ideology. In fact, Nazis are little different than the liberals at our colleges and universities. Both want to use the power of government to quash and eliminate their political opposition. Fascism and Nazism are left-wing ideas and both should be condemned as un-American.
Incidentally, both the so-called Antifa AND the Neo-Nazis/white nationalists hate the Jews. So, there is another place where they are no different one from the other.
That having been said, let’s get to the left’s use of murderer Fields.
Neither the media nor liberals deserve to use this creep as the focus of their moral outrage. Why? Because they have ignored at least ten years of liberals rioting, destroying, raping, and murdering their way across the U.S.A.
You don’t get to have moral outrage about one murderer when you’ve ignored dozens of other such incidents merely because all the others came from political ideologies that you want to protect and promote.
Just to name a few, we had Bernie Sanders supporter and Illinois Democrat James Hodgkinson who drove to Virginia to try and murder as many Republican congressmen as he could. The media dropped this story like a hot rock as soon as they found out Hodgkinson was on their side of the political aisle.
There were the five Dallas police officers shot last year by Black Lives Matter fanatic Micah Johnson. Not to mention Louisianan Gavin Long who shot several Louisiana police officers, permanently disabling one of them.
Another police murdered police officer was New York’s officer Miosotis Familia, who was ambushed by a Black Lives Matter fan. And her death was only added to the pair of officers shot just before Christmas in 2014. Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were killed by Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, a criminal who was tied to a black supremacist prison gang and who said he perpetrated his murders in revenge for the deaths of other African Americans killed at the hands of police.
There are others, of course, but we add the most recent murders perpetrated by Black Lives Matter fanatics to the deaths perpetrated by Occupy Wall Street protesters back in 2011.
And the deaths are not the only area where Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street before that went off the rails. There are the many riots, the billions in property damage, and the rivers of hate spewed by these people, too.
Don’t forget that Occupy Wall Street got so debauched that women began setting up “women-only” protest camps because Occupy Wall Street males were committing rapes and sexual molestations.
And where were the media and the phalanx of liberals to denounce BLM and Occupy when all this was happening? They were utterly silent. And when they did bother to address it at all they excused it away saying it was “just a few” bad apples who don’t reflect the totality of the movements.
So, sorry liberals. You don’t get to act all morally outraged over this disgusting crime in Charlottesville. You wasted your moral authority over the last decade by ignoring all the murder, rapine, rioting, destruction, and violence coming from your side.
