We've seen violence from the far-left and from the far-right.  As I said, I support the rallies being held.  I have a very strong belief in the First amendment. I think many individuals misuse the term "facism" in reference to political actions.  It's actually a political/economic system which usually employees very anti-democratic tactics.  Indeed, the radical leftists who seek to silence the voice of conservatism use anti-democratic tactics.  I have and do condemn their actions.  " You must be very proud to be a life long member of anti-American values."  Balderdash:  I've spent my life supporting and promoting "American" values.  

I suggest we might all work together to avoid the violence at the upcoming rallies in Portland.  I'm willing to take that "Violence Solves Nothing" stance and be directly involved in such efforts.  How about you? We could stand "side by side" for American values.  Gary Crum
