I said it’s funny that when protesters are conspicuously non-white, conservatives are outraged that anyone would dare disturb polite society and interfere with commerce for their personal issues….and yet now for some reason conservatives are claiming that for this mostly white group - which only has a small amount of Nazis and racists - disturbing polite society and interfering with commerce is a beautifully patriotic duty. most of the BLM and antifa protestors are white too dummy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins dictionary says this: c. Quote (of soldiers) to keep formation, as when under fire He was speaking directly to soldiers, this is the meanig according to Collins online dictionary. I wish that he wouldn't have said it for a couple od reasons 1) some soldiers might think of it in military terms, which isn't good. If they say 'til Valahalla it's gonna be a shitshow and don't try to reason with them at that point. 2) leftists are desperate to paint this Freedom Convoy as an insurgence, and they're well aware of the connotations of terms when it suits their fancy. That's exactly why the people at CNN and posters here, like BeaverFever, tried to put the words "march on Washington" into Trump's mouth. If there's any resistance at all, 'hold the line' will be the new buzzword for the next year and it will haunt the Freedom Convoy forever. I just wish he would have appended that with, 'until you're arrested', or 'until the police come with an order to ___________', IE some bullshit that sounds official and means that they can use force to remove you. He definitely should have specified exactly what he meant by 'hold the line'. It's very meaningful, powerful terminology. If you told Dougie93 to hold the line he'd probably be there until there was just a puddle of goo. Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed. If you missed something on the Cultist Narrative Network, don't worry, the dolt horde here will make sure everyone hears it.

They’ll rent little apartments, work from home or as essential workers under public safety measures, have curtailed freedoms, and live a subsistence lifestyle. Nowhere to take your complaints.

myata Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Governments should never be left alone, to take care of themselves. This is that will happen, again and again and over, when governments get used to running themselves. The political system in Canada is a joke and a caricature, a clumsy and pathetic doodle of effective checks and control. It's so non existent as such that needn't even be mentioned. Canadians need to wake up and think about that problem now; or Heavens themselves may not know what the country would look like in two or three decades.

blackbird Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Quote 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Unquote Romans 1:3,4 KJV Notice here in God's inspired word that God has ordained rulers to enforce law and order. The rulers determine the laws and their enforcement, not the ruled. The responsibility of the ruled is to obey the laws. Those who refuse are rebelling against the God-ordained authorities and risk the authorities coming down on them with force in whatever way the authority deem appropriate. It becomes especially difficult when you have a large number of protesters who have convinced themselves they are on the right side of the law or an issue. These verses should serve as a warning to those who think they are above the law of the land. Tragically the Bible was taken out of public schools and many have imbibed the idea that individual citizens are final judge of what is right or wrong. Morality has become a relative thing based on whatever seems popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is that will happen, again and again and over, when governments get used to running themselves. The governments should be made to remember that they work for us. We don't work for them. The Covid emergency seems to have given government leaders the world around the belief that they could invoke the talisman "Covid" and order everyone around. 3 Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

It is interesting that the post by those making personal attacks calling members fascists' stays and mine is deleted with a warning!!!! In my post I updated the the police has moved in to break the illegal blockade of Ambassador Bridge and the blockade is appeared to be coming to an end peacefully. In my post I had also demanded that Ottawa police take the same path and move in to break illegal blockade of Ottawa streets immediately.

You have to live in other countries to know what a not peaceful end to protest is really. And then begin to appreciate what it is to live in a democracy before trying to destroy that democracy. No because there has been many cases around the world that police moves in and breaks up anti-government protests not peacefully either by attacking them violently with batons breaking many skulls or shooting into demonstrators and killing and injuring many but here we have a Liberal government and it is a democracy. The government tolerated these illegal blockades for days and weeks hoping they will end the illegal blockades but now under pressure from public they had to take limited action and move in to break up the blockades so far without violence.

So far over 50% have taken the booster in two months since it became available and every day more people are taking it. Last I heard over 70% of Canadians support mandated vaccination and close to 90% have taken it. By any counts you lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say what is currently done, infringes on the rights of peaceful assembly and protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
