"*Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in a statement. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”

“In California, as across all of our great nation, we have deep reverence for the Constitutional right to peaceful dissent and free speech,” she said. “Non-violence is fundamental to that right. Let us use this sad event to reaffirm that we must never fight hate with hate, and to remember the values of peace, openness and justice that represent the best of America.”*

While there is another similar thread, I wanted to start this one to commend Nancy Pelosi’s comments on this event. I am no fan of her or her agenda, though we should be ready to increase the civility of our national discourse and need to acknowledge when someone on the other side does the right thing.👍

No thank you. I don’t have to read it to know what’s in it nor to understand her politics. The only thing thumbs up about her is her own thumb feeling the political breeze 🙂

Those are fine words. I can get behind them, though like you I do not appreciate some other words she has said. If she is willing to speak truth, I’m willing to listen…

I understand completely why you feel that way. It may even be just politics with her, but she rarely indulges the truth at all, so I am going to applaud that one statement, and hope that she had a few moments of truth and lucidity from the heart. It is impossible to know when something is heartfelt from someone, so I am going to throw her a bone.

Hi ChurchSoldier 🙂

I understand the sentiment, but I also think, why is it noteworthy of her to be saying something she is supposed to? this is common sense and I don’t think she deserves special thanks for saying something this basic, which should be expected. 😦

She also got it wrong too, society should have no tolerance for violence, thus those who cover their faces and use violence should be arrested. Free speech should be free and we all know what they want to classify as ‘hate speech’.

When she renounces her aid of abortion I’ll listen. I hope she gets voted out or she repents, or both.

I hope this has helped

God Bless You

Thank you for reading

I understand your feelings. It does seem odd to congratulate someone for heroically saying what should be common sense. It’s like me heaping praise upon my children for making their beds and eating their vegetables. They need to be doing it anyway.

But with our political discourse being so polarized, I think we do need to recognize and applaud those moments when we can find them. It doesn’t happen often enough. If we wait for someone like Pelosi to have a proper view on everything before we give her the time of day, we’re only going to guarantee that we continue to talk past each other as the polarization and division continues to increase and intensify.

Let’s celebrate the common ground when we find it. I don’t see any other way towards civility in our conversation.
 
She waits two weeks and she is applauded. Trump waits two days to make “the proper” statement on Charlottesville and he is lamb basted. Still nothing from Schumer, Franken, Warren…All “leaders”.

But I am glad something was finally said.

If he hadn’t said “on many sides,” the situation would be a lot different.
 
Would this be an instance of a blind squirrel finding an acorn?
 
Agree, the statement she made is a good one…let’s move forward from there.
 
There was violence from both sides.

Initiating violence should be condemned.

President Trump was correct.
