I THINK MAYBE THE COUNTRY IS GOING NUTS

by Bob Walsh

The Revolutionary Communist Party (RevCom) has been around for 45 years, mostly full of sound and fury, signifying jack shit.  They are, however, making a lot of noise in "emancipation park" across from the White House.  They have the tacit if not the expressed permission from the local DC government to act like a bunch of arrogant and entitled dickheads.  They think they are actually getting some traction now.  (They might even be right.)  Their avowed purpose is to destroy the market capitalist system and representative democracy that has worked for us for very nearly 250 years.  A loud and vocal extreme minority is pushing the issue, and a fair size chunk of the population seems to have no problem with surrendering to the mob, presumably in the mistaken belief that if they suck up and mouth the correct slogans they will be eaten last.

At Stone Mountain, Georgia, a group of maybe 100-200 up to maybe 1,000 (depending on which media reports you believe) mostly armed young Black men marched and demonstrated yesterday, demanding that the huge base relief Confederate memorial carved into the face of the mountain be destroyed.  The area around the mountain is now largely populated by Blacks and not Whites.  The Stone Mountain Park is owned by the state of Georgia and is managed by a private family-owned operations company.

A large group of mostly armed White "militia" turned out near Gettysburg in response to an internet hoax reporting that there would be a large, organized flag burning there by AntiFa and BLM types.

At some point two large groups of armed, stupid, intoxicated clowns are going to butt heads and things will turn to shit real fast.  

Even the Seattle police teargassed TWO riots on Sunday.  (I thought they lost their tear gas, flash bangs and pepper spray).  Maybe the mayor now thinks loosing control of the city is bad since a mob of "protesters" showed up at her private residence, with directions supplied by an admitted and proud socialist member of the city council.  

It seems like a lot of people have lost interest in either talking or listening.  The legion of the perpetually aggrieved want action now.  The often silent majority want to be able to go about their lives without a lot of drama.  The combination may make for a very interesting election season.  

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe going nuts? Bob, the country is nuts.
