I think you meant Sherman. Canute was the guy in England holding back the tide and all that.

Good linked article.

exactly but perhaps he will turn into Sherman and win those seats and burn down Biden's senate

[talaniman]

Doesn't appear he will win those seats, or overturn the election results, or stop Biden and the dems from cleaning up the mess that the dufus continues to make.

Must be terrible to live in such a chaotic place

If by "chaotic place", you mean the world's leading economy by far, then I would not characterize it as "terrible" to live here.

[paraclete]

No I was referring to rioting, burning buildings, shootings

[talaniman]

How the events of yesterday in the nations capital could have been missed is well beyond me. Incited by the dufus and his circle without a doubt. Chaotic is an understatement!

[paraclete]

Yes this is where wild rhetoric gets you, weak minds believe it

[talaniman]

The looney right wing fringers have been around a long time and are embedded throughout the society. Never until the dufus have they been given a spotlight of legitimacy at this level though. Of course they feel embolden to respond finally in the open.

[Athos]

Those fringers will go back into their burrows and rat holes as soon as citizen Trump begins to face his civil and criminal charges.

I guess that's some more of that "unconditional love" at work.

[talaniman]

There is no unconditional love for dangerous violent criminals with bad intent. Just consequences for their actions. Insurrection is a crime.

[paraclete]

Insurrection is treason, but Trump is a loud mouth who didn't realise there was anyone out there who would take such action, he was rabble rousing and the rabble arose. the lessons of history are not often learned

It's been going on for years with leftist dems, but when it even appears to be Trump supporters doing it, then all of a sudden it's a threat to democracy. Go figure.

[paraclete]

Yes, there is no reason, the left permits any action for the cause, but the right must be suppressed, we still mistakenly believe the nazi were right wing extremists

Seriously? Leftists dems don't storm the capital like an invading army, or plot to kidnap governors cheered on by a lying cheating fascist president.

Yes, there is no reason, the left permits any action for the cause, but the right must be suppressed, we still mistakenly believe the nazi were right wing extremists

Seriously Clete? Oh you must mean Aussie leftists and your conservatives are so morally pristine and sympathize with Nazi's?

Sound rather NUTSY BOZO to me.

[paraclete]

Tal, go play devil's advocate some place else, I made a comment regarding History and misinterpretation of it. The guys who stormed the Congress were right wing extremists, your nutsy bozos, not mine, but your left isn't pristine either, just a little more subtle. It was the left that bred nazism in Europe, don't think that because they were anti communist they were right wing. Was Portland right wing?

What was Nutsy Bozo is your interpretation of history that was assigning ideology to the actions of a self serving dictator trying to conquer the world.

Maybe you could elaborate on that? One of the more revisionist takes on history is that the Nazis were leftists. This bizarre idea reflects badly on every single position you have espoused here - causes all to take whatever you say with a huge grain of salt.

Maybe you should read some history some time. The Nazi were socialists, a response to the poverty and disorder of Germany after WWII. They are a reflection of where the left will take you if you go down that path. I keep a bag of salt handy for your ravings
