It's now known, that Nathan Phillips has been banging his drum at people many times in the past.

I'm actually extremely impressed with the comportment of the teenagers. Especially the one being confronted by Nathan Phillips; it must have been terrifying for a boy that age to be placed in that situation, face to face with a psycho. I saw the long video and that kid has a spine.

Hey, where's the rabid mob this morning? You know, the ones whose only form of exercise consists of jumping to conclusion and hating on America?

If you are standing still and someone approaches you beating a drum, walks right up to within inches of you...and you choose to remaining standing where you have been standing...peacefully...

Who is being the aggressor?

Who is trying to create a scene for the cameras?

In the 1800's the Democratic party was the preferred party of the white supremacists of the times.

As times have changed now and the white supremacists have attached themselves to the Republican party.

The 'Red Hats' seem to be appropriate.

Now please understand I am not calling all nor most Republicans bigots and racists but they are present in the party.


"The Red Shirts or Redshirts of the Southern United States were white supremacist paramilitary groups that were active in the late 19th century in the last years of, and after the end of, the Reconstruction era of the United States.

Red Shirt groups originated in Mississippi in 1875, when Democratic Party private terror units adopted red shirts to make themselves more visible and threatening to Southern Republicans, both whites and freedmen. Similar groups in the Carolinas also adopted red shirts."

DemoKraps are definitely the party of pussy colored hats. White supremacists are definitely the pink pussy parade that are typically DemoKraps. These same are the Blue State Brown Shirts of today.

Curious, this guy says he was a ranger in Vietnam. By all of the news accounts I've seen, he is currently 64. Lets be generous and place his 64th birthday back in Jan 2018. This would mean he was eligible for the draft in Jan. 1972, so again, let's be generous and say he immediately enlisted started Basic Training in Feb. 1972, figure 4-5 months for basic and AIT, that puts us at around July 1972. Now lets be generous once more and say he was immediately assigned and sent to Vietnam, that would put him in theater Aug. 1972, and that's the earliest he could be there WITHOUT going on to ranger school. Well that's a problem, the US was already well underway withdrawing combat troops from Vietnam then, in fact, the last combat troops left that theater with the flag Aug. 1972. Hmmmmm, this guy's story isn't adding up at all.

His birthday is February 22nd. Also, he claims to have done two tours as a "Recon Ranger" with the USMC. There is no such thing.

Also, his name is not showing up on lists of people who served in Vietnam.

Now, color me skeptical, but I'm not dismissing the notion that he may be less than truthful about his service.

Also, he has a history of confronting kids to create such situations. He did the same in 2015 and more recently in 2017.

The Nazis were horrible. That's not up for debate. But we also often overlook their accomplishments in such a short time. Crazy stuff.

The jet engine
magnetic recording tape
pioneers in rocketry (who knew they could be used for peaceful endeavors?)
the computer (Konrad Zuse in 1936 “Z1”)
the helicopter

to name a few non-lethal inventions.

Does Orson Welles speak to this in his 1949 film, the Third Man?

in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Back to topic, catholic kids and the Activist. Ask yourself what you would do if a stranger approached you and started banging their drum in your face. Your spouses face? Your kids face? It's an aggressive move no matter how you slice it. Seems to me the kids and especially the one with a drum going off in his ear showed commendable restraint.

It is being reported that people who tweeted horrible things about the Covington kids are erasing these tweets at a furious pace.

Which makes it even more confusing considering the last Marines left Vietnam in the summer of 71.

I guess he finished his second tour at age 16.

Are you suggesting he might have stated an untruth?

I'm shocked.

If you remember when white supremacists were Democrats, you are even older than I thought you were.
