    I've considered myself a Republican all of my life. My Poly-Sci teacher told me that Republicans are on the 'right'. This is what I've understood all of my life.

    Now, all of a sudden, Socialists, like the Nazis are being branded alt.right? The KKK, which was founded by Democrats to disarm blacks, is now a right wing organization?

    The Republican party I joined has always stood for equal rights for all.

    The Republican party voted for emancipation, while the democrats opposed it.

    The Republican party advanced voting rights for minorities and women, while the democrats opposed it.

    I could go on, but the point is that the Republican party has always stood up for the rights of all Americans, while it has historically been the democrats who worked to advance the ideas of prejudice and racism.

    ________________________

    Now I watch the news. I see the KKK being described as 'right wing'. I see the Nazis being described as right wing.

    Am I wrong, . . . , or is the press lying to the American public?

    Help me understand.

    Signed,

    Confuzed in Algiers.

    The press does not lie. They are 100% honest 100% of the time and shun anyone who would spread deceit and slander....... Lol JK they are ratings whores. Is they were honest there would be no conflict and discourse. And they would be out of a job. Can't have that. Besides, who else would fan the flame of hate and division?

    really it's quite simple. This is just more of the full throttle leftist resistance to ANY administration that will not continue with the identity politics and worldwide American apology tour. At first I thought it was mainly an anti-trump thing, but as time goes on and more and more of their antics are being uncovered, it's easy to see. I think this is only the beginning and they will not stop at the statues or monuments, next it will be building/school names, street names, etc., and it wont stop with the confederate stuff, they will move on to Washington, Jefferson, etc.

    They already have/are moving to do that.

    Looks like the streets are full of crybabies and the whole country is turning into a big ass day care!

    That's what they want you to believe anyway... admittedly, thanks to the media they are making progress in that direction. But they're not as far along as they would like you to believe.

    It's an outgrowth of 'identity politics': a tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics. Concepts such as self-reliance, equal protection under the law, economic freedom, and free markets are central to the Republican party platform though many in the party lose sight of those goals once in a while. Freedoms as opportunities open to all citizens. The Democratic party has taken equal rights further to the point of favoring one demographic over another which has culminated in the support of groups such as Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, LGBT groups, etc. White Supremacists will latch onto any political affiliation they can use to shield themselves from criminal prosecution and civil litigation. Black Lives Matter is to the Democratic Party as White Supremacists are to the Republican Party except in one way. The Democratic Party openly supports Black Lives Matter.

    White supremacist are most certainly NOT republican associates. The racism inherent in that group stems directly from democrat belief systems. I.e., KKK, Nazis, etc. The only thing real republicans/conservatives are guilty of is wanting to leave you be and be left alone. Disclaimer, I am NOT a republican, at least not a modern one. If I am anything it is an independent/libertarian.

    I am registered as a Republican. If I had to describe my political beliefs I would use the phrase ' laissez faire'.

    The only thing that bothers me is When the Left wants to do something they just go out and do it!
    When we do something a real Permit, is needed! I assume every city has own rules for them Here you need Insurance, Security and have a time to gather. Must police the garbage and pick up after!
    Never, ever, a equal playing field..................................
