All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations\u2013vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher \u201cdeath street party\u201d started fires, destroyed property and battled police&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Here in the U.S., the last similar display from the Left was the Occupy Wall Street movement, but liberal violence and general hatefulness have a long and consistent history. Recall, to cite just one of many examples, the liberals who attacked buses containing delegates and dropped cement blocks on cars from a highway overpass during the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul. It is notable that violent leftists are never denounced by Democratic Party politicians. On the contrary, as we have seen most recently with Kathy Boudin, they find them well-paid jobs as professors when they can. And it is not hard to understand why liberals tend to be so angry; nearly every communication that emanates from the Democratic Party is a hateful, over-the-top smear against Republicans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read it.
