The battles have been intensified by the election of Mr. Trump, who enjoys fervent support from white nationalists.<br /><br />Adding to the turmoil, the Federal Aviation Administration said late Saturday that a Virginia State Police helicopter had crashed about seven miles southwest of Charlottesville. The cause of the crash and whether anyone was injured was not immediately known.<br /><br />Here in Charlottesville, the protest, billed as a “Unite the Right” rally, was the culmination of a year and a half of debate in Charlottesville over the fate of the Lee statue. A movement to remove it began when an African-American high school student here started a petition. The City Council voted 3 to 2 in April to sell it, but a judge issued an injunction temporarily stopping the move.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/us/charlottesville-protest-white-nationalist.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=a-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0Mr. Dingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012432470112143051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513645860996121165.post-84223908530198667062017-08-11T19:18:35.665-07:002017-08-11T19:18:35.665-07:00Because there are indeed a large number of deplora...Because there are indeed a large number of deplorables within.Mr. Dingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012432470112143051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513645860996121165.post-53063172816441350522017-08-11T18:38:40.703-07:002017-08-11T18:38:40.703-07:00Well, yeah, after reading it I totally get your ...Well, yeah, after reading it I totally get your qualification: "not necessarily connected."

A place where we and our progeny can enjoy Christian liberty and the fruits of our own labor, unhindered by parasitical 'out groups,'" said Hill's message, posted on the group's Facebook page a day after a rally in support of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia.<br /><br />The group's website says it is "waging a war to win the minds and hearts of the Southern people,"<br /><br />While white-controlled government is its goal, the group says in a statement of beliefs that it offers "good will and cooperation to Southern blacks in areas where we can work together as Christians to make life better for all people in the South."<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rebel-yell-southern-nationalists-again-crying-secede/ar-AApTlMz?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=SL5JDHPMr. Dingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012432470112143051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513645860996121165.post-9533845062957037532017-08-11T17:29:00.862-07:002017-08-11T17:29:00.862-07:00The freely elected Republican Commander in Chief c...The freely elected Republican Commander in Chief can, on his own, launch fire and fury upon God's green earth from a twit storm.

This is someone who draws a paycheck - the funds for which come from your tax dollars and mine - to craft federal law saying that a particular individual and a particular private organization that are dedicated to defending the second amendment, and therefore the sovereignty of the individual vis-a-vis the state, should be arrested and deprived of their rights of free movement, not to mention their right to carry.<br /><br />Think this through again.Barney Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691587302177294439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513645860996121165.post-58423865982606085742017-08-11T14:55:44.422-07:002017-08-11T14:55:44.422-07:00But terrifying in relation to Trump.
