Sounds like you're posting these quotes to say that the Bible advocates racism and bigotry. I'm interested if this is the point you two are making....that way the admins and the public can see this.

As you didn't ask any questions in that, I answer none. I choose to say those are quotes from sctipture.

:Biggrin I only post on the political section to push buttons and watch the show. Since Clemson lost (and Georgia had no hope) this is my sports section.

But I'm learning. I'm starting a "Clemson won...the game was stolen" movement. :)

That's been the way of sports for eons, and not without reason. :eek:

Exactly! The Problem is - it WAS NOT "a Constitutional process" that was going on, that is a lie! It was an attempt to finalize a theft being driven by a Leftist coup! Stop the violence BUT also stop the fake comparisons and the hypocrisy of calling this an unamerican disgrace. Those who would only focus on the actions of a few are either pretenders or falling right into the hands of promoting the hypocritical narratives of the Left! There was no graffiti, no one burned down the Capital, stores and businesses were not burned and looted, no cars turned over and burned, no takeover of the city – the truth is it was mostly peaceful.

"Mostly peaceful? Just a few? There WAS "looting"! And it wasn't an attempt of a takeover of a "city", but rather the seat of the nation! (i.e. insurrection!) But because there was no "grafitti" or "fire", this was OK, compared to what the other side does!
Truth is, they DID have incendiary devices: molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, as well as military style rifles! (And I'm sure we haven't seen everything yet. We still have the 20th coming! But then we also have people simply accusing the rioters of being antifa. So same events, but either it was the Right, but it wasn't so bad, or it was bad, but it was the Left!)

Have you seen what your ilk have called 'mostly peaceful' and compared the two? Besides, it wasn't the Right that did that. It was Antifa infiltrators.

Both were bad (the Dem riots and the Trump riot). But I am not sure it is proper to call the Trump riot an "insurrection" as they did not attempt to replace the government. It was vandalism. 4 people died (at least one was not by the rioters). I do not know the amount of damage.

With the Democrat riots. At least 25 people were killed by the rioters. The damage was reported to be over $1.5 billion.

No, they 'both' weren't bad. The DC one was a Sunday School Picnic in comparison to the rampant rapacity of the last year.

Yes, one was badder and the other was gooder....but all participants should be fined, go to jail, and forfeit the right to vote and carry a gun as felons.

So yet again, if the Right did it, it wasn't so bad; oh but it wasn't the Right anyway".

On one hand, it's like the Right never does anything wrong, this kind of behavior can only be committed by the left. But when something like this comes up, you're torn between claiming total innocence, and "What about what the Left does?" which becomes the whole tome. (Like a child caught doing something wrong, and claiming "everyone's doing it. What about THEM?" The same thing with slavery in this thread: BREAKING: Trump Releases Video As Protesters Storm U.S. Capitol Building "the Arabs did it"! How can you keep using those groups to excuse what your side is accused of doing?)

Yet the whole premise (for 150 years) is that the nation has been "taken" from them, and they want it back. The federal government was seen as the main enemy of their "freedoms", and in the gun debate, to the present, they keep citing the right to "take down the government" if it becomes too "tyrannical", which is what they've been complaining of especially the several decades. Now, they claim the presidential election was "stolen" from them. (I reiterate that the antifa and BLM activism is largely on the city level, where this was an attack on the set of the nation itself!)

Why is it hard to believe that these are conservative Trump supporters who believe their time has come? The guy with the confederate flag was antifa or BLM only "trying to make Trump supporters look bad"? Why did Trump himself even address them, and say "we love you"? He then told them to stop, but didn't claim they were antifa.

In any case:

Trump loyalists push evidence-free claims that antifa activists fueled mob

Capitol riot was openly organized on mainstream social media

Thank God the people in power now don't agree with such nonsense. Thinking like that is what's getting conservative voices banned everywhere. Thank God!! :Biggrin

When you say participants - do you mean the ones who caused damage - or anyone who was in the civil march?
