Unless you're living under a rock you've heard about Charlottesville, Virginia at least once today.

Charlottesville: One killed in violence over US far-right rally - BBC News


I do not understand why people continue to fight hate with more hate. Peace is what we should strive for however people still want to fight fire with more fire. I don't care what side you are on, what you believe, hurting another person is never okay.

Controlled conflict brings about controlled change.

WW1,League of Nations set up,WW2,United Nations set up,to try to stop the fighting,and have cooperation among the nations for peace.

On the back of the dollar bill,announcing the conception of a new order of the ages,and out of many,one.

So it is obvious they want the nations to come together.

America and Korea might be cooperating with each other,and America and Russia were probably cooperating with each other as well,as well as many nations.

Controlled conflict brings about controlled change.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

“Difficult Times Will Come”

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

Sadly, white supremacists are nothing new. One driving a car into people protesting racism is just a different form of violence than they used in earlier years.

The citizens of Charlottesville had little to do with what happened there.......just saying......and it really isn't in chaos. There was one chaotic day/evening/event.......and the Police responded, and, with much effort, and the loss of TWO of their Officers, got it under control.

What IS in chaos is our Society......but, even then, ONLY parts of it.......the WORST, GODLESS parts.

Funny how people on this site are unusually quiet about this topic. If something happens on the other side, people here would be all over it. Trump is unusually quiet about this event as well.

What has happened here shows us how a small group of godless people can bring chaos to a city or even a nation.

Give people some credit. This is a tragedy with deep political implications.

Reticence is to be expected.

I feel really bad for the average citizen of Charlottesville. This is the third clash between elements of the Alt-Right and Marxist fops in the last three months.

As Christians, I think it is important to remember what this all stems from- a spiritual vacuum at the deepest level in our country. Political considerations are extremely important but secondary.

Honestly, I expected Nazi and KKK parades to happen before the US verged on nuclear war. But I guess I get to check that off on my list of "Things liberals joked would happen under a Trump presidency." I'm running out of things to mark off and it's only year one lmao.

The weirdest thing about this whole deal is the half-hearted condemnation (or complete lack thereof) of the white supremacists. Like, there used to be a day when opposing Nazis instantly put you on the moral high-ground, but apparently some people have to think twice about it. What is even happening??

The right treats neo-nazis like the left treats islamic extremists - pretend they don't exist so as not to alienate a larger group (i.e.: white people, muslims). So we live in a twilight zone where the flags of swastiks and traitors fly in the streets, surrounding normal people with torches and the President won't say a peep until egged on by the KKK.

There is no analogy to describe how absurd this sounds, because what's actually happening sounds like its own analogy. SMH

The right are devoid of morals, empathy and tolerance. They always chose their side no matter what.

What happened? Blacks and Liberals crying about being discriminated against... that's what happened. The WH is just acting the way they insisted they be treated. (Only this time the shoe is uncomfortable because it is on the other foot.) For a change, Whites are being handled with the same kid gloves the Blacks and Liberals have long insisted THEY be handled with.

And the WH was right not to condemn ANY ONE GROUP until more facts come out. They did as they should have.... condemned the violence, period.

Tell that to Virginia's Republican congressional delegation, Republican membership of the State House and Senate, every statewide Republican candidate, and the Republican Party of Virginia itself.

Mere hours into the affair, they were unequivocally denouncing the display of white supremacy in Charlottesville on moral principle.

But I get it. It's something the national news will never report because it isn't in their interest to do so.

Alright, it is right to point out that kinda extreme identity politics that have been pushed by the left these past few years that blantantly put down and villainize white men-









Before I get more of those "I cant believe there are people who call themselves Christians who are defending this act", this post is obviously in no way an attempt to defend a race based protest. Hating your brother is the same as murder in Gods eyes, why on earth would I hate someone for the color of their skin.

But, it is right to bring up that this very thing is happening just as much on the left. And really, if a young white male is living his life, and is constantly being told hes a racist, a bigot and doesnt even deserve the right to vote, merely for the color of his skin, dont you think its likely that these extremists will turn him to extremes due to his own frustration?

Lets get past the "all those on the right are racist" and actually look at the world around us. This extremism is happening on both sides. I do not like the alt-right, I am absolutely against their message. You can see me on youtube posting about it often. But I am at least understanding to how we got to here. The hardcore left IS creating more racism with their racism.

You'd be surprised how many people on here seem to think the only discrimination that exists is against white people. You can show statistics and examples that disprove them and they say they're fake. I've yet to learn what color the sky is in their world.

President Trump is preparing a top level diplomatic team to send to Charlottesville to bring peace to the area. Barack Obama, Maxine Waters and several other top compromisers and accommodaters are going to be dispatched to the area. After peace is restored Rahm Emmanuel will be appointed to rule the area. If that fails then Trump will ready and implement the nuclear option.

The Trump administration will make Charlottesville great again.
