    We must skew to a younger crowd here on this board but for those not old enough to remember the 60's - the left has already tried the "violent revolution" thing (under circumstances that were much more favorable to them) and failed miserably.

    Remember the SLA? The Weather Underground? They murdered a few people, robbed a few banks, got killed or arrested by the police and generally showed themselves to be the keystone cops of "revolutionaries." And this was with the benefit of former draftees in their ranks who at least knew how to operate a firearm correctly. Modern "revolutionaries" will presumably learn their military tactics from either YouTube videos or "Call of Duty" first person shooter games, which means that the "revolution" will last about as long as a typical coffee break.

    AntiFa is about as much of a threat to the social order as the tiny assembly of losers in the KKK/Nazi Party that the SPLC is constantly hyperventilating about, IOW zero.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    Remember the SLA? The Weather Underground? You mean Patty Tania Hearst?

    But in the 1960s you wouldn't have seen the NFL standing behind idiots protesting the American flag. The morons behind the Occupy movement would have been jeered at by the blue collar Democrats, white and black and brown and whatever. Responsible Democrats in the 1960s and 1970s decried the Weather Underground and SDS and SLA as much as Republicans (of course, we had honest Democrats like Moynihan back then).

    Unfortunately, today's Democrats read "1984" and "A Brave New World" too but the lesson they took from those books was that if they took over academia, the media, and the legal profession, they not only wouldn't actually have to work but they could redefine the language and societal norms to flip the Constitution back on itself.
