Left’s anti-American madness? Chill out!

Until the Left starts to reject and admonish the actions of these lunatics, they will all SUPPORT it.

Look at (Tim) Walz (Minnesota governor and unsuccesful U.S. vice presidential candidate) today saying ICE was nothing but TRUMP’S jackboots.

Look at the TOTAL rhetoric of the Left. They are still foot-to-the-floor pushing HATE against all things American.

I read today that hundreds of thousands were fleeing their party, the remainder know that (when) every illegal (alien) is removed from the USA, they cannot depend on their votes for Democrats.

The only Democrat with a hint of ethics and any sign of having a soul, so far, is (U.S. Senator John) Fetterman (of Pennsylvania). He is the only one saying this rhetoric must be calmed down.

We must be able to have a safe America before it is too late. Again, there’s no such thing as the “Radical Left” — they are all “the Left.”

Regarding the upcoming mayoral election, I hope I speak for others by stating that people do not care about the sexual orientation of Kim Roney or any other candidate that runs for political office.

But since Ms. Roney has been part of the City Council that has overseen the decline of quality of life in Asheville since 2020, I do not think that she is the right person to make things in the city better.

The article (in the Asheville Daily Planet on Sept. 17-30) also stated that the current mayor, Esther Manheimer, intends to run for a fourth term. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

As MTG (U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.) talks national divorce, and on the left, Indivisible debates Cascadia and Calexit on abandoning the “blue dots” in places like Asheville and Austin (Texas), it occurs to me that divorces usually require some cooperation — largely with packing and moving, but also with online realtors and junk dealers... and that the Right is way ahead of the Left in organizing these areas and voting with your feet.

So in the spirit of bus tickets for the unhoused, I figure MAGA trucks must be returning to blue states empty — in numbers.

So do we still have the civility for the Left, starting with trans and Antifa refugees, to make use of these empty trucks? Or for some civil cooperation around bipartisan relocation assistance?

Then can Trader Trump trade Cascadia for Alberta — after we all get relocated?

Stonewall Jackson deserves credit for helping black folks

At the suggestion of Commander Jim Kennedy of the Rutherford Rifle Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans that I should make my way to Ellenboro, N.C., I would find myself in the midst of a people who had shown the propensity to love each other as they had loved a man who had donned the Confederate soldier’s garb and accepted his beliefs in conforming to the social and cultural expectations that brought them together as one.

I had attended the Ellenboro Town Fair each of the last five years. Unfortunately for me, I was not feeling well this year.

I remembered in the past when Julian Bond (an Atlanta-based social activist, leader of the civil rights movement, politician, professor and writer) was speaking to a group of of students, staff and members of the public about the acronym NAACP and that the “C” stood for people of all colors.

However, the more he (Bond) talked, the more bigoted and hypocritical he sounded as spoke about white people.

Here we we are in the 21st century talking about the court case garnered by the NAACP to change the name of a school honoring an “angel of God” sent to help black people with their greatest adventure towards not only the hour of social vertical mobility because Jackson and his wife would teach them how to read and write when a white man could be hung for doing so.

However, he taught them how to read the Christian Bible and where he would find the Almighty God.

For me, they could have named everything in the school for “Jackson” — the Jackson School Board, the Jackson Restroom....

The lie that white people didn’t want black kids going to a school, and that they named it after Jackson, is preposterous and anybody who knew or heard of Jackson knew that it would not sit well with him.

Tell this to the ancestors of those blacks who built Jackson’s headstone. The real bigots here are those who filed this lawsuit.

Go tell the descendants of those white folk who watched every morning those black kids crossed their land in droves and never stopped one for trespassing because they knew where they were going...” — to Thomas Jackson’s — to learn how to read and write and about their real “master,” Jesus Christ.
