I denounce hate groups of any kind, and believe that the White Supremacist groups deliberately plan their rallies, arm themselves, and go looking for a fight! There would be no "alt-left" groups showing up otherwise. (We didn't consider ourselves alt-left at the KKK rally in Denton.) The important question is "why would our President refuse to condemn white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the like"? Of course, it's quite obvious that he would lose a lot of his supporters from these groups who voted for him. He even pretends he knows nothing about David Duke! His refusal to sincerely condemn them only helps perpetuate their causes.<br /><br />While we spread the blame, the NRA must share some as well. If it weren't for them, there would not be so many open carry laws in so many states!Marilyn Moragnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427476589355349725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684979241648085394.post-8274689858264014012017-08-18T19:20:39.504-05:002017-08-18T19:20:39.504-05:00I don't hate anybody. There are of course the ...I don't hate anybody. There are of course the misguided, like conspiracy theorists and the unaware who follow the news on network outlets only.. I am however confused about the South Carolina situation. It appears that a vile hate group applied for and received a permit to demonstrate peacefully, and in the process of doing so were attacked by a violent hate group with swinging clubs violating the First Amendment rights of the demonstrators. Network news seems to blame the peaceful marchers and excoriates anyone who disagrees. <br />Just who is it here that committed a crime?Bob Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684979241648085394.post-18409755879462095602017-08-17T19:18:50.385-05:002017-08-17T19:18:50.385-05:00Marilyn, I am just shocked and appalled on so many...Marilyn, I am just shocked and appalled on so many fronts. It is just amazing to me that in this day, 2017, such unabashed hate based on the color of one's skin or one's religion is rearing its ugliness.<br />Rita B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684979241648085394.post-62393264153338868782017-08-17T16:36:53.255-05:002017-08-17T16:36:53.255-05:00Thanks for posting and for your action.

I'm proud (but not surprised) to know that you've already taken a physical stand against these people, and sure you have many other examples.
