The ‘Patriot Front’ Is a Ridiculous Hoax

 

The left is circulating a “leaked video” from the Patriot Front that supposedly exposes them as National Socialists. For those not up to speed, the Patriot Front is group of white guys in matching khaki pants, who march through various locales with their faces hidden, carrying American flags and sometimes placards with patriotic slogans. If they seem like something a hack director might put in his movie to represent “white nationalism,” that’s not too far off. They showed up at a March for Life, this week and the media were quick to make the connection of the Pro-Life movement to “White Supremacy.”

Weird how in the “leaked” video, not only do the “Patriot Front” keep their masks on, but the moment the camera is switched off they happen to affirm the exact talking point the left wants for their narrative. And note that unlike other groups and individuals who have protested against the ruling party, there has been zero media effort to learn the identities of the members of this “White Supremacist” group.

David French at NRO wants to have a “War on White Nationalist Terror.” Doesn’t that sound like a fine idea. “We need all the tools we can muster — legal, rhetorical, financial, and cultural,” he writes, and also, “Law enforcement should pursue terrorists relentlessly.” (Also in the article: “This is all Trump’s fault” because David […]

In the past several years the terms racist and Nazi have become prevalent in the general discourse. Mostly used by the left to smear people they disagree with, a tool in the identity politics war.  The fight has been a bitter one. But one thing always gets pushed aside: search for the truth.  Preview Open

Confederate Statues, Affirmative Action, and Cheap Racial Virtue

 

Facilitated by media manipulation and exploitation, people have lost perspective trying to outdo one another in their moral condemnation of racial supremacy witnessed in Charlottesville, Virginia.

(Because the media finally found actual white racists to cover, rather than smearing white people who reject their coercive, politicized agenda as racists, this was a big story.)

In the wake of violent protests in Charlottesville, Richard Epstein looks at the limits on government power to restrict inflammatory speech, considers Donald Trump’s rhetorical response to the protests, and weighs in on whether confederate monuments should start coming down.

How despairing it is to hear of news that one lost their life, possibly, due to the lack of understanding of the importance of civil discourse. When protests take place over matters that typically cause some persons to emote in anger and display outrageous behavior, it may be important, for the sake of keeping the […]

Recently, I read a post written by a Christian brother that really touched me and I felt that there needed to be a critique of it.  I did not want to dismiss what he wrote on racism, but I did want to offer loving criticism with another person on my podcast.  It worries me that […]

In what sounds like a post made for the Onion, Mediaite is reporting that a group of white nationalist will set up a 24/7 Hotline for “bullied” Trump supporters. This is your America in 2016 ladies and gentleman. From the article: The “Trump Harassment Hotline” comes courtesy of William Daniel Johnson, a Los Angeles-based lawyer who […]

Is it often the case that one of our own posts on the main feed clashes so violently so immediately with someone far more important, viz. Mr. Kevin Williamson, the avenging sarcastic of the free market libertarians-conservatives? How does he loathe us, let me count the ways! All of us who worry about the sort […]
