The State Of America





This is sobering.

EVERYONE who thinks that the Nazis aren't trying to organize here in America (And everyone outside of America) needs to watch this. This is, up close and personal, the state of America.

One Nazi said that this was the biggest "nationalist" (Might as well say it RACIST) rally in over 2 decades.

THIS is what we are REALLY dealing with. (My husband has said he thinks they are organizing even before this happened, and I think hes right.)

What this Nazi man is trying to justify... someone ramming a car into a crowd saying "The right wants violence and that they are only meeting the demand" (With him showing all of his guns and a knife to the journalist telling her what the nazis are planning to do) is absolutely horrifying and just a peek into a seriously demented state of mind.

I am sorry, I have heard others say we need to just "talk to them" This journalist did, and what she found was terifying. We need to make sure these people NEVER do this again. Protest is fine, but these people are not just protesting, their intention is to incite violence and promote fear in the American public.

This is DEEPLY troubling. Some one died here. We need to be actively looking for ways to make sure this doesn't happen again... (In my minds the police being there could have stopped this!) It should NOT celebrated by these deeply twisted people as if its some kind of Victory.

What the HELL America????

  1. A small town in Germany took care of their neo-Nazi problem by sponsoring them for donations to organizations that serve the people the Nazis are against, then cheering them on for all the good they were doing for these organizations.

    I saw a suggestion on Facebook today that said to spray them with glitter—it gets everywhere, is a pain to remove, and, well, just looks silly on them.

    I think one thing we badly need is a set of national education standards. Under the current system, each state and its local school boards determine the curricula for elementary, junior/middle, and high schools, and the textbooks that are used. So, when it comes to the Civil War and its causes, someone in, say, Alabama (not picking on Alabama, just the first state to come to mind) could be learning very different things than someone in, say, Washington state.

    Given that compulsory education is supposed to teach the basic knowledge that we need to function as adults in our society, there's generally an assumption that the things we learn in school are things that everybody learns in school. But we don't. People in one state may learn that the Civil War was fought over the matter of slavery (with the South wanting to maintain it, and the North wanting to abolish it), while people in another state may learn that it was fought over states' rights, with only a perfunctory or incidental consideration of slavery.

    This is a huge problem, because when we can't agree on what our common history is, it will hurt us as we try to move forward—as we are already seeing.

  3. What the hell America? Indeed! My question now is ... what is America?
    Humans are Their Own Worst Enemy. Always have been and most likely always will. In my opinion.
