gilbar said...: Serious Question?
I see that the Hong Kong Protesters cover their faces like our AntiFa people do;

Have there been any reports of the Honk Kong protesters:
Hitting people on the head, with bike locks?
Beating up elderly women?
Shredding Bibles?; 10/22/19, 6:29 AM

Bill, Republic of Texas said...: Here's to you, LeBron!

And Apple, Google, Tesla, GM, Ford, Walmart, etc etc etc.; 10/22/19, 6:43 AM
Leslie Graves said...: One of the young men in that video in his letter to his parents writes, "Have your meals on time". Ouch.

That reminds me of the Sam Adams quote.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”; 10/22/19, 6:58 AM
Temujin said...: The other day I watched a video of two people will small bullhorns being dragged out of an In and Out Burger joint in California. US and Western European Activists have such small, stupid problems compared to people actually fighting for freedom.

I'm glad the rest of us are starting to push back on these morons.

Can't wait to see the Fighting for Hong Kong tee shirts at the NBA games this week. I hope it grows.; 10/22/19, 6:59 AM

Just wait until Trump gets re-elected.; 10/22/19, 7:28 AM
paminwi said...: Those young people are truly brave. They learned from our patriots in the Revolutionary War. They know there is a real chance they will die for their cause. I admire them.
I am sad that my country has become so pathetic. Some days, not every day, I am discouraged.
Today I am discouraged since I read the story about the father who was fighting for the right to NOT give his son transitioning drugs lost in court. How sad that a jury actually decided against him.; 10/22/19, 7:49 AM
Howard said...: You people are behind the Hong Kong protests until Drumpf throws them under the bus.; 10/22/19, 7:53 AM
alanc709 said...: You think Obama would have supported the Hong Kong protesters, Howard? Or would he have ignored them at the crucial time, like he did the Arab Spring protests in Iran?; 10/22/19, 8:15 AM

And you?; 10/22/19, 8:35 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: This is the kind of state-power the democrats and their Antifa Brownshirts long for.; 10/22/19, 8:43 AM
MayBee said...: I love Hong Kong so much. I really want it to be ok.; 10/22/19, 8:50 AM
paminwi said...: Screw you Howard!
I know, you will criticize me for my erudite commentary.
But, in all honesty, I could give a shit what you think about me or my comments.; 10/22/19, 8:58 AM
NC William said...: Howard, the animating context or rationale behind most every conservative thought or principle is freedom -- liberty. We will not stop being behind people seeking freedom. That you think so is quite telling that you understand very little about the people you seem to hate.; 10/22/19, 9:05 AM
Drago said...: Howard The Illiterate is weirdly concerned that the US will withdraw its non-existent Hong Kong based troops from their non-existent Hong Kong bases.

Certainly this can be added to articles of impeachment the democrats are courageously drafting in secret.; 10/22/19, 9:57 AM
Drago said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 10/22/19, 10:00 AM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: Find the cost of Freedom
buried in the ground.
Mother Earth will swallow you--
lay your body down; 10/22/19, 10:03 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: Howard - Your corruption queen Hillary and that corrupt media-covered old man asshole Biden make mega-corruption bucks off of the backs of ordinary Chinese.

Do you care?; 10/22/19, 10:08 AM
Drago said...: The Clintons were well paid by the ChiComs for allowing Big Time Dem Bernie Schwartz and Loral to "accidentally" allow strategic rocket MIRV tech to "find its way" into the ChiComs hands.; 10/22/19, 10:36 AM
Rusty said...: What the Howards of the world have forgotten. Nobody ever hands you freedom from tyranny. Freedom is always bought with sacrifice. What they want is what we take for granted. They want the guarantees that are embodied in our first, fourth, fifth and sixth amendments. The natural rights that are their birthright.; 10/22/19, 10:53 AM
narayanan said...: Any readers of Sparrowhawk book series?
Major character in the novels is Jack Frake >>>> I recall to you the scene at the gallows. (avoiding plot spoiler here)

Author Edward Cline shows that there have to be great men in the general population (typically unknown to future generations) for so-called "Founders of the Nation" to be revered by future generations.

This young man is one such in the population.; 10/22/19, 11:19 AM
narciso said...: indeed, and costind, which partnered with fmr Hambrecht and quist partner William perry, who not only would become defense secretary, but end up on the board of theranos, h & q neatly financed salon, which covered for bill Clinton, Charlie tree, johnnie chung and the lippo brothers, (the last ended up connected to the Clinton foundation); 10/22/19, 12:37 PM
Bilwick said...: Howard, you should go to Hong Kong with a delegation of fellow State-shtuppers and New Tories to calm the fears of the protesters and show them how freedom is over-rated. Take Elizabeth Warren and Breadlines Bernie with you. And leave them there.; 10/22/19, 4:01 PM
Friendo said...: Rusty @ 10:53

And without the Second Amendment, none of the others can be preserved...; 10/22/19, 5:14 PM
