Fort Sumter represented an attack on federal property by a violent group who wanted to send the American government and its people and all their Confederate supporters a message by seizing an American fort. Bob, you seem to be having a problem recognizing the eerie similarities between what went on with Fort Sumter and other federal properties back then and what's going on with federal properties located in certain parts of the country today...  

I recognize the pattern.  Those trying to cling to the old values get submarined by the arrow of progress.  They appeal to violence and lose.  In the Information Age, I anticipate the violence will be replaced by legislation to a great extent.

Ask any slaveholder how it works, if you can find one.

I know that if you and I were to meet, you wouldn't be able to look me in the face or give me a straight answer or admit to me that you are/ were wrong and apologize even if your life depended upon you doing it at the time.

I do pick up the quite public reports, with the CNN and the AP pages being the most common these days.  I generally link to my sources.  I can quite assure you that no one is sending me anything that isn't on an obvious page.  Your assumption that I am getting secretive propaganda from some hidden blue group is a figment of your rather warped imagination.  It is totally divorced from reality, as is most of your junk.

I'm suggesting that you're receiving select information not secretive information. Right now, the Left is the only group using intimidation and violence as a political means to achieve its objectives which seems to work pretty well with liberal Democrats and peaceful people associated the American Left or the center left these days. Unfortunately, it's not working at all with those on the other side of the political spectrum these days. Yep. The folks clinging to old world values that you are now directly associated with whether you like it or not are currently setting themselves up to be pummeled by those directly associated with the arrow of progress these days.
