"In accommodating the agenda of the radical Left, America has precariously perched itself on a slippery slope that’s being shaken by seismic political activity. Giving self-righteous activists the green light to destroy rarely placates them; in the long run, it has an emboldening effect. Once you’ve signaled that these people are morally justified, they tend to ignore you when you blow the whistle."

Ask Ted Wheeler how trying to control the red guard worked for him.

Portland mayor Ted Wheeler says he will be moving out of his condo to avoid the protests and rioting that have cropped up outside the building in recent days.

Wheeler announced the move in an email to other residents of the 16- floor high-rise on Tuesday, OregonLive.com reported, one day after a crowd of over 200 people gathered outside the building to demand his resignation, leaving fires and broken windows in their wake.

"myrmidons" awesome word. I had to look it up.

Many years ago I could see this coming. It is when I became politically active after being largely apolitical. For my efforts I had been roundly criticized as being hostile and overly abrasive... generally admonished to use a softer tone... to show respect for "the views of others". And generally my concerns were dismissed as being extreme and conspiratorial. Today my family and friends admonish me for not having been more insistent and vocal... because they say, shit is much worse than I had forecasted.

Bad times create strong men that create good times that create weak men that create bad times. We are living in a time of weak men.
