Yet another manufactured outrage has occurred, and is now gripping the American Left and all their institutions – corporate media, especially – in the form of President Trump’s now infamous “many sides” remarks following a violent clash between left-wing Neo-Nazis (i.e. National SOCIALISTS), along with members of the KKK (formerly the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party), and farther-left members of the ironically named ‘Anti-Fascists’ ANTIFA.  The most tragic part of the story, which took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, was of course the murder of a beautiful young girl named Heather Heyer, who was killed by a piece of sh*t Nazi sympathizer, whose name we won’t mention, when he ran his car into a group of protestors.

President Trump, in remarks after the brawl and then subsequent murder, condemned the violence, but instead of singling out so-labeled “far-right” white supremacists, instead chose to say that “many sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville.  This, of course, sent the leftists into a level-9 meltdown.  Why? Because Trump dared to steal a move from the Left’s playbook – drawing false moral equivalencies.  Except, in this case, the moral equivalencies weren’t so false.  The far-left thugs of ANTIFA, as well as the neo-Nazi and KKK punks, both showed up with enough bottles, bats, sticks, mace, and other street-fight weaponry to bludgeon, beat, and possibly kill each other and the cops with.

Admittedly, the single murder in Charlottesville lays solely at the feet of a neo-Nazi, and for that reason it would have been best if Trump had singled out that group for, in whatever way, helping to inspire a would-be mass murderer. In such a violent and chaotic event however, in which both sides came prepared to commit aggravated assault on one another, and rage and passions can and did easily get out of hand, it was only luck that each side didn’t rack up a homicide or more.  A swung baseball bat or thrown lump of concrete to the temple can easily kill someone, and ANTIFA, also, showed no hesitancy to try their best to injure their opponents in such a way. So, again, Trump’s statements are in line with the truth, and he is absolutely justified to condemn both sides for the violence perpetrated.

Not only are the leftists in the media furious over the suggestion that their out-of-control Stalinist children could be put on the same moral plane as neo-Nazis and the KKK – which they are – but more than that they’re furious at the perceived lack of moral accountability that they believe Trump, and conservatives in general, should feel regarding these white supremacist groups.  There are no shortage of RINO cucks, like Paul Ryan, who jump at the opportunity to disavow groups with zero affiliation to conservatism, just to show their Progressive drinking buddies in D.C. how virtuous they are, but Trump doesn’t seem to be on that sad team.

I don’t know Trump’s mind, and I have plenty of constructive criticisms of our Commander in Chief and the way he communicates sometimes, but if I were in his shoes, this is why I too would not immediately jump to denounce, specifically, “far-right” white supremacist groups, and why I think he and others are wrong to even suggest the political Right has or had anything to do with this:

You may have noticed “far right” in quotations, twice.  There’s a reason I did that, and it’s because there is nothing right-wing about these groups.  In the American context, the left/right dichotomy relates to a spectrum of belief regarding the level of government involvement in society and individual citizens’ lives.  A far-left extremist, aka a simple Communist, is someone who believes government should run every aspect of the economy, and every aspect of societal life.  This, as history has shown, invariably results in a 1984 Orwellian-type world, in which people live in an open-air prison and are nothing more than gears in a machine. Then there’s the little problem of mass murder and gulags of course.  Inversely, on the other end of the spectrum, a far-right extremist would be an anarchist – someone who believes in no government, which at least is only as bad a life as the animals of the forest have it.

Progressives, on one day, will label people like Republican Senator Rand Paul a far-right extremist for wanting to cut government spending; on another day they will label hate groups like the neo-Nazis and the KKK with the same “far-right” label, as if being fiscally conservative and being a racist had anything to do with one another.  What, exactly, were the political leanings of the racists that showed up in Charlottesville?  I didn’t get the sense they were there out of concern for the exploding national debt, or collapsing health care under Obamacare.  They didn’t strike me as very libertarian, or as members of the Tea Party, still frustrated over the Wall Street bailouts.

Labels like “alt-right” or “far-right” in conjunction with “Nazi” and “white supremacy” have become a weapon of Leftist social and political warfare.  By conditioning people’s minds to associate “right-wing” with racism and hate, they can bypass people’s critical thinking, stifle and shut down discussion, and de facto censor speech.  Once they attach this label to you, people will automatically and instinctively dismiss you as a lesser person, and disregard whatever you think or say before you even say it.

So why should Trump or any conservative politician or citizen feel obligated to denounce these groups? Because they don’t belong to us.  They are the Frankenstein monsters of the Left, all of them, now gone to war with one another.  It would be the same as asking a conservative to denounce radical Islam, or Stalinist Red-Terror violence – it’s a given. Leftists in the media are playing a game. They stand before the President and conservatives and ask, with the preconceived assumption that we are to blame, to profess our innocence by denouncing such vile groups.  Why isn’t it assumed that we do.  It was always assumed that Barack Obama was in no way morally culpable for things like the Orlando nightclub massacre by a raging Islamist, though Obama had a romantic view of Islam; or the assassination of five Dallas police officers by a Black Lives Matter sympathizer.  I, for one, have no interest in playing this game.

We, as conservatives and American patriots of all colors and creeds should have some damn pride for once, and remind the other side every chance we get that it is THEY who need reign in these groups, by reigning in their addiction to identity politics.  That is, at the end of the day, the genesis of the problem.  Newton’s Law being that every action has an opposite and equal reaction, it is not a great surprise that when one color of racial supremacy group, like BLM, starts to rise, that some nemesis racial supremacy group like the neo-Nazis begin to show their ugly heads again as well.  The neo-Nazis, and Nazis before them, are a product of socialism – a left wing ideology.  They KKK are a product of the American Democrat party, and one which they have never taken responsibility for, or apologized for.  Progressives have consistently held that “race matters”.  Republicans have consistently held that it doesn’t.  When free-market capitalists and the Tea Party start killing people in the name of their beliefs, then we can talk about “right wing” violence.

The Left must also be reminded that, to the extent these white supremacist groups voice any kind of support for Trump, it isn’t because he or his supporters or his ACTUAL positions on things like immigration have put wind in their sails, it’s because a steady and relentless drumbeat of “Trump is Hitler”, “Trump supporters are Nazis”, echoed over and over and over again by the media and politicians and left-wing pundits for almost two years now, has worked.

ANTIFA and the neo-Nazis of Charlottesville represent two opposing groups who’ve both been brainwashed to believe this unjust narrative.  ANTIFA unjustly believes Trump is Hitler, and thus hates him.  The neo-Nazis unjustly believe, also, because they too watch the news, that Trump is Hitler, and thus find in him a savior.  It is not Trump’s responsibility or obligation to convince people that he is not the evil caricature that the disgusting fake media has brainwashed swathes of the American public into thinking he is.  It is THEY, the media, who bear this responsibility, for it is their crime for animating and giving hope to the neo-Nazis and KKK.

Lastly, until the double standards end, President Trump and conservatives should never stop reminding the American people and the leftist media about these double standards.  Trump is being criticized in the harshest way I’ve ever seen for saying something that Barack Obama said on more than one occasion, during much greater tragedies.  On February 5th, 2015, just a few weeks after the massacre of 14 Americans in San Bernardino by a husband and wife Islamic terrorist team, Barack Obama reminded all of us at the National Prayer Breakfast to not judge Islam to harshly, because Christians did bad things too once.

“And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”

This was President Obama’s post-terrorist attack “many sides” speech.  Even though the Crusades ended over 700 years ago, and was in large part a response to the unprovoked invasion of Europe, Obama was applauded for being so fair by pointing out the “many sides” of religious violence and extremism.  Either both Obama and Trump are right for what their respective remarks, or they are both wrong.

Then there was the shooting and attempted assassination of multiple Republican congressmen by an unhinged left-wing Bernie Bro, who was also convinced by the unjust media rhetoric.  I remember all kinds of “many sides” arguments coming from the likes of CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times, in an attempt to water down what really happened, and to mask the extent to which the political Left is becoming increasingly violent and extremist.

So in conclusion – not only no, but hell no.  Keep on reminding them, Mr. President, that yes there are in fact “many sides” to political violence and hate going on in this country these days, but they are all from gradations of the political Left.
