In defense of Mr. Schappert

November 12, 2020

All I can say is Mr. Schappert apparently hit a raw nerve. Not one, not two, not three but six letters disputing Mr. Schappert’s comments which are based in fact. Facts are a tricky thing for the folks on the left, including Messrs, Sian, Smith, Henry, Peterson, Flood and Cohen. When your collective heads are stuck in the mainstream media outlets of NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN, and you listen to NPR, you have no diversity of opinion or facts. It is your own little “echo chamber.” I thought all of you leftist folks liked “diversity.”

Apparently the six authors do not realize that there have been riots perpetrated by BLM and Antifa from May of this year until today, in many of our major cities. Of course, all these riots are in majority Democrat-controlled states and cities. To this day they are still occurring in Portland and Seattle. Recently there have been riots in Philadelphia. I guess you do not see this over on CNN and MSNBC or hear about it on NPR.

Yes, in fact, BLM and Antifa are Marxist organizations. Patrice Cullers the co-founder of Black Lives Matters describers herself as a “trained Marxist.” There is a YouTube video of Cullers where she espouses her Marxism. There are various media outlets the NY Post and Washington Times with stories referring to Cullers’ Marxism. And it must be my lying eyes when I see on the television the riots in the major Democrat-controlled cities where the Antifa thugs (easily identified by Antifa written on their clothing) looting and burning businesses.

What this country is going through has nothing to do with race. BLM, Antifa and the left use “race” as a cudgel to pit one race against another. This is not a racist country. What we are going through is an ideological civil war.

I take issue with Mr. Cohen’s assessment of the Sainted George Sores and his Open Society Foundation, has anything to do with helping to establish “democracy building efforts in the United States.” Sores has helped to elect radical district attorneys all over America that do nothing to stem the radical BLM and Antifa rioters in such cities as St. Louis and Philadelphia. The police arrest these perpetrators causing property damage and injury to civilians and police, and these DA’s just turnaround and release them.

Brings me to Kamala Harris by the way, as she and many of Biden’s campaign staff members donated to Minnesota Freedom Fund. This fund bailed out the rioters in Minneapolis this past summer. This was found on the Washington Post website and a tweet by Harris herself to chip into the fund.

Of course, Mr. Flood states that it is the far right that is behind the riots and unrest. The various incidents he states that have happened pale in comparison to the damage and death perpetrated by BLM and Antifa.

You gents live in a bubble. You are either intellectually challenged or just lack any intellectual curiosity.

And by the way, the 71 million people who voted for President Trump will not be having any of this “unity” being espoused by the Democrats and mainstream media. Trump and his supporters have been called everything from racists, deplorables, chumps, white supremacists to Nazis. That is the short list. So, I think we will take a pass on this unity thingy. The Leftist Democrat party should not push us too far because we might just push back. See we have an ace up our sleeve.
