Here's some of the trail of wreckage...

All these silent voices from the last few years of rioting now want to speak up and condemn?  Anyone that did not speak up against all the rioting that occurred just in 2019 and 2020 have no right to condemn what occurred on 6 January.  

There are a large number of people that were silent during the riots but now want to bitch.

I do not support the rioting that occurred at the Capitol and agree that those that committed crimes should be prosecuted.   But, no more than the rioters of Portland last year.   I'm all for equal justice under the law.   Use Webster or what ever dictionary you wish, look up hypocrite and then look in the mirror.  
Rioting is rioting, prove me wrong.

NPR (national propaganda radio)

"A crowd of mainly white men dressed in tactical gear"

"carrying sticks and Confederate flags"

Some wonder who is reporting the truth???

[Jess from VA]

NPR (and NPT) went from politely left to almost indistinguishable from CNN/MSNBC seemingly in about the last 6 months.

They should have been defunded of every federal dollar years ago.  Public funding of communism just seems wrong.

NPR has the best classical music to be found anywhere on the radio (anyplace in the country), but when the news comes on (or they ask for donations) I give the radio the finger and turn it off.

Not a classical music fan.

I like to hear "the other side".

I like to hear "the other side".

I do too, but rarely want to hear or watch it, only read it.

It's less irritating that way.  They can't stick their disgustingly pious, condescending, patronizingly superior, smirking, snarky, stupid faces and voices on the printed page (yet).  Though radio is better than TV.    (Faces in great need of being punched too, with perfect equal opportunity.)

You know Jess, I do agree and its said we have gotten to this point.  They live and exist in a free society that allows them to do as you state. 

I had a post prepared several weeks ago, but never posted.  It was entitled "Hippopotamus".  The main stream media has taken the First Amendment to the toilet. 

[Jess from VA]

taken the First Amendment to the toilet.  

I think of it more like weaponized.

Civil liberties were designed to be a shield for the citizen against the state.

When they get used as a sword against the people, they are weaponized.

I did not see everyone, but I did not see a confederate flag all morning.

I did see Dont tread on me yellow flags with the snake
Many hundreds of present day USA flags
Stop the Steal flags
We love Trump flags and signs of every kind

A fellow my wife recognized from his twitter feeds was walking around with huge signs showing Washington crossing the Delaware

There was a flag, perhaps 60x100 that was opened and people let it wash over them back and forth so it never touched the ground  That got gnats in my eyes I will admit

NOT MY WORDS


HOW SOON THEY FORGET
Remember in 2011 when tens of thousands of Democrats surged on the Wisconsin Capitol building in Madison and physically occupied it for more than two weeks? We were told, "This is what democracy looks like."

Remember in 2016 when Obama was President and hundreds of BLM blocked interstate highways and violently accosted police (even killing several)? We were told, "To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible."  

Remember in 2018 during the Kavanaugh hearings when a mob of Democrats stormed the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, DC, and pounded their fists in rage on the door. We were told, "It's understandable."

Remember this summer's riots in major cities across the country when groups of Democrats marched in the streets, set buildings on fire, looted businesses, assaulted and even killed bystanders and police?  We were told, "These are mostly peaceful protests."

Remember when Democrats seized several blocks of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in downtown Seattle, declaring it an autonomous zone?

Remember the guns ad deaths and utter destruction? We were told, "It's a block party atmosphere."

Remember when a crazed mob gathered after the Republican National Convention and attacked Rand Paul, a sitting U.S. Senator? We were told, "No justice, no peace."

Remember how police were told to stand down, governors refused to call in the national guard, and Democrats paid bail for violent protesters who were arrested? We were told, "This is the only way oppressed people can be heard."

I have condemned violent protests and lawlessness every single time they've been reported. I condemn the actions of those who stormed the Capitol yesterday. But I refuse to condemn hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors because a handful (52 arrested) chose to be lawless and to defy everything the vast majority of the crowd stood for. Conservatives are defenders of the Constitution, the police, and the rule of law. Because a relative few people decided to do something stupid doesn't nullify the concerns of the many.

The real culprit here? The mainstream media has been telling us for years that violence is the only way people who feel oppressed can be heard, it's the only way to get justice, and this is what democracy looks like. Apparently, a few who were in the crowd on Wednesday listened to them.

More for the short memory left to chew over.

The words in the Declaration are not ambiguous.

As one who (I think) was required to pledge the oath on enlistment, I would hope you remember that one has a duty to not obey certain orders, even though it may lead to court martial

So every citizen of this country must always look within at the time and place to decide what is right and wrong.

I am in favor of charging trespass but not sedition. I see no destruction either and do not trust the talking heads.  

I am far more concerned with the demonizing of those who do not agree with those seeking power on the left.  Telling the people what they can see, hear, tweet, put on facebook, publish, say on a plane to one's wife  These are the things that make my blood run cold

Wearing a star on one's lapel is days away, being required to be in a camp down the road just around the bend

I would welcome our military to clean house if I were knowing of how to do so

I remember my oath very well. There is nothing about "certain orders". Basically we are to defend the Constitution, obey orders as directed in the USMJ (rule book). We were taught that you weren't supposed to follow an illegal order. But, you better be cursed sure that order was illegal. I think every person who crossed the barrier should be charged with trespass and assaulting police if so done. I think everyone who went into the building should be charged with sedition and any assault, murder charges. It's pretty simple really. ANYBODY who attempts to stop the government from doing their business according to the Constitution is guilty of sedition. My oath, and others is pretty clear.



Our military is barred from "cleaning house"

I am with Meathead on this everyone inside the capital should get charged with federal offense and 20 years prison term without parole.  Although,  I think this storming of the capital would have been avoided with a gaitlin gun pepper spraying from the rooftops about 20 feet into the dirt on the entire crowd dispersing the crowd in no time.  Someone on the loudspeaker stating anyone who goes forward will be shot dead.

The problem my friends is that videos show that the doors were opened from the inside and further videos show lawful walking 2 x2 guided by police inside.

That forces me to change my earliest opinion   I was wrong

Now anyone, and that includes the radical left people who stormed Supreme Court and attacked members of Congress should get the book thrown at them  but no more than trespass for people who were let inside by the cops. And those charges should be dismissed like with antifa and blm  Fair is fair

The more videos I see the more I believe this is a set up  and no more than several dozen people bent on harm

If they won't stop BLM from burning down buildings why do you think they would stop a group from walking into a federal building? That makes no sense to me. The police held the doors open for them. There is more to this that what everyone is being told.  That is the people's house and they have tbe right to be there.  Next time you have a car problem let's stand on the roof of your chosen mechanic and shoot at you and tell you that you can't enter.  Your car is now the mechanics and you have no rights to it.  The mechanic works for you as does the elected officials work for the people of this country.  When we are being cheated and lied to i expect you would show up angry as well.  I'm glad they were terrified,  reminded them that they work for us.
