Title: How Reagan dealt with left-wing punks disrupting civil order in Berkeley
Post by: James on February 03, 2017, 11:06:28 AM

President Reagan ordered the CHP and Berkeley police to "use whatever method they choose against the protesters". These were his own words.

I like to think  the right to free speech and assembly is a key part of a successful democracy.
BUT, when the protests get really disruptive I always side with the force Reagan brought in.

I understand being able to freely express one's voice.
BUT, if it prevents everyone else from normal activity , then fuk it.

"Disruptive?"

That was a violent, destructive pro fascism riot.

Howard is an independent. He can see from both sides of the aisle.

Everyone seems to be throwing the words "fascism" around a lot right now.

As of yet, I don't see it.

Sure, people don't like policies, but I haven't yet seen any fascism here in the US... Not in my entire life.

Everyone likes to point fingers at the other side as being the evil fascist, but there's no proof of it. Unless you are willing to admit that it's the same as always. It's about money.

I will accept the idea that most politicians, even the new ones, are megalomaniacs though.
