Political produce threats continue in Vancouver

 @Old29 Apparently you didn't study your history or sociology lessons very well.  Fascists are a type of socialist that believe that businesses should be state controlled and regulated by  the government (gee).  Fascists seek to unify their base in solidarity by creating class conflict (sound familiar?) Historically, fascists have secured their power by providing cradle-to-grave social assistance to the population.  Like other forms of socialism, fascism only works if everybody participates, so objection is denounced  and non-participation is punished.  The liberal left in America are far, far closer to being fascists than the right ever dreamed of.  You people scare me, because you are intent of forcing your failed economic theory on us.  The cool thing about capitalism, we really don't care if you participate or not.  We prefer you do, but it hurts you more than us if you don't.

@Old29 Really???? take a look at some of the liberals like CAPTMAC11 .I dont think you know what a facist is....Hitler ,musillini, Saddam, those guys were facist.

@portlandborn83 Obama is doing what George Soros wants him to do.  Good Article:

exerpt:     Soros is a planetary parasite. His grasp, greed, and gluttony have a global reach. But what about America? Soros told Australia ‘s national newspaper “The Australian.” ” America, as the centre of the globalised financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world. This is now over. The game is out,” he said, adding that the time has come for “a very serious adjustment” in American’s consumption habits. He implied that he was the one with the power to bring this about.”

 

Soros: “World financial crisis was “stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.”

Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil , in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama’s largesse towards Brazil came shortly after his political financial backer, George Soros, invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Pet rob ras).

 

Tait Trussel writes, “The Pet rob ras loan may be a windfall for Soros and Brazil , but it is a bad deal for the U. S. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that oil exploration in the US could create 160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater energy security and independence.”

 

 @portlandborn83 Aren't all politicians?

 @RalphCramden I'm on record that I think we're more divided than any time in history, including 1860.  The only reason it hasn't gone sideways like it did in 1860 is that the divide isn't geographic. 

@RalphCramden How about liberal CWP holder gun enthusiasts like myself? What if I'm not interested in participating in a civil war? How are conervatives going to visually identify as the enemy?

 @RalphCramden The "nation divided that cannot stand" managed to survive a four year war in which the modern equivalent of 7 million of its citizens were lost.  We survived 10 years where nearly 1 in 4 had no job.  If prognostication from the past is as accurate as you say, I wouldn't bet against the US.  

 @RalphCramden 

 

We will. We have become divided in the past but come back together.

 

Think of pre-war. The nation was heavily divided. We fought each other over going to war, the bad economy and who was at fault (familiar?).

 

We came together for WWII.

 

Then we had the 60's. We were divided again. We had revenue issues and a shrinking employment opportunities, it was young idealists verses older pragmatists.

 

We came back again.

 

That was just this century. Our nation being free means we have the problems of getting polarized, and sometimes creepily homogenized. No one condition is permanent.

 

That too shall pass

@ecb It is what it is. right or wrong.  If a group of occupiers can tear up parks in the name of free speech and houses can be stolen in the name of free speech( all of which happens in portland so i guess thats ok) , then you can get hit with tomatoes. Again , free speech is free speech, but be prepared for the consequences if someone does not like it.

 @Civ True, it is free speech. What people need to remember is free speech is not a get out of jail free card. If you break the law, whether exercising free speech or not, you have still broken the law. Whats pathetic is that the police often ignore this and when they do something about it they are often sued. Pathetic situation.

@Civ I don't consider people who I don't see eye to eye with to be evil.I find groups like the KKK or Westboro Baptist Church and the black panthers to be evil.

@Civ  I have a huge HOPE for CHANGE on my car.   I challenge anyone to touch it!   They will be making a big mistake. 

 @sortbait there aren't any.

@WendyTeagarden You want civility , stay out of politics . If you are a Democrat  stay in Portland where you are "safe" from the hypocracy of the rest of the world...

It is the Liberal Media of course it is made up..  Bunch a whinny babies. 

 @Kachina  ~  Yes, I wondered about that, too, Kachina...   Usually, if people are throwing tomatoes, you see the tomatoes splattered all over walls, cars, fences, doors, and so on... not just parked quietly in yards..!    Not saying it's OK to throw tomatoes (or anything else) at other people or their property, but this story is just a little bit strange..!

 

I've seen VERY few political yard-signs this year here in Salem...it's kind of nice, actually...  In '08, they were all over the place, but this year?   The only signs I see are for local candidates running in local races...  

 

In re this particular story, Ms Aston needs to re-hang her American flag a little higher so it's not dragging on the ground...
