Just as Clarence Darrow never wished anyone dead, yet smiled at many obituaries, Ann Coulter obviously can’t help but feel a twinge of schadenfreude as violent leftist mobs turn on the very people who’ve been cheering them on.

They’re all “peaceful protesters” — until they come near you.

Imagine that instead of being a president, mayor or reporter in the vicinity of mentally unbalanced, historically illiterate, thuggishly violent lunatics … imagine that you, personally, are the window they want to smash.

Now you know what it’s like to be a conservative trying to give a speech on a college campus today[…]

Neither the conservative media nor elected Republicans gave a crap about the left-wing paramilitary force that’s been mobilizing since Trump’s election.

All we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone

As America has succumbed to violent, leftist mob rule over the past five years, too many, even among so-called “conservatives”, have cowered in fear. They’ve watched better people than they get cancelled, beaten, mobbed and silenced, hoping that at least the goon squads will leave them in peace.

Through it all, conservatives stuck their heads in the sand and rationalized insane liberal violence[…]

And thus were the most interesting and popular personalities on the right scrubbed from the public square by violent, low-I.Q. criminals. How tiny is the circle of speech and behavior you’ve permitted yourselves, conservatives?

America elected Donald Trump to put an end to this madness. But, despite the Donald’s notable achievements on many fronts, all he’s done in response to Antifa is tweet. As if Churchill stopped Hitler by writing letters to the Völkischer Beobachter.

For 3 1/2 years, antifa was never punished for anything it did. To the contrary, they were praised. Private citizens who fought back were defamed as “white supremacists” and imprisoned.

Hundreds of masked antifa traveled interstate to riot at Trump’s inauguration.

While hundreds were arrested, only one was imprisoned – for just four months. D.C. judges made sure all others had their charges dropped.

No congressional push to impeach the antifa-friendly judges, no separate federal prosecutions of the out-of-state rioters, no segments about this outrage on Fox News […]

President Trump responded to the Berkeley riots by sending in the National Guard to protect free speech at a public university. JUST KIDDING! He tweeted: “If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view — NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” … and then of course did nothing. Positively Churchillian!

That was at least better than Sens. Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio, who praised antifa for raining violence on protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. The senators called the masked psychotics anti-fascist, apparently unaware that by “fascist,” antifa means them.

Can anyone remember what that protest was about? Oh yes, the tearing down of a Confederate statue.

No punishment. Heaps of praise. Lesson learned.

The Proud Boys at least walked the walk and took the fight up to Antifa, in self-defense.

Guess who was prosecuted? The Proud Boys — by Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr., the same guy who allowed Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein to wantonly rape women and girls in his jurisdiction, year after year […]

But I’m sure you’ve heard all about it on Fox News and other conservative — oh no, wait, you haven’t heard about this from anyone. Democrats used our majestic system of justice to shield antifa from any private citizen who fights back. Not one elected Republican, including our bad-ass president, lifted a finger to defend [Gavin] McInnes and the Proud Boys.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity

W. B. Yeats, The Second Coming

The left has been laying the groundwork for this anarchist takeover for a long time. But even they must be amazed that the conservative response was to roll over and play dead. Except maybe they’re not playing.

Playing dead may dissuade bears from attacking, but bears are strong and courageous. Leftist mobs are bullies and weaklings who only attack submissive targets.

The time is long past due to stand up to these violent bigots.
