Editor,
I am Antifa and I follow in my father’s footsteps. My parents taught me right from wrong and good from evil and if they were alive, they would also say, “I am Antifa.”
Antifa stands Against Fascists. My father, along with a few million other American soldiers, spent four long years as the original Antifa. Millions fought and died to rid our civilization from Fascists and Nazis. Millions more worked night and day to rid our world of this blight and stain on the soul of our humanity.
That our Arkansas legislators have not decried the death of a black man whose murder by a white policeman was on display for the entire world tells us that we do not have legislators, but wanna-be dictators.
Tom Cotton wants to bring in the 101st to murder civilians. My father was with the first 101st Division during the war and I cannot imagine his fury at this perversion of our Constitution.
These men think that they are kings and rulers and we are subservient to them when in fact, it is the other way around. Never forget, they are our servants and as such must adhere to our rules, the Constitution.
Vote.

Cotton calls for the troops, our military calls for peace and justice
1. Cotton wrote a guest editorial on Wednesday (June 3) encouraging military intervention to assist in restoring order in communities that have seen widespread violence.
“Some elites have excused this orgy of violence in the spirit of radical chic, calling it an understandable response to the wrongful death of George Floyd. Those excuses are built on a revolting moral equivalence of rioters and looters to peaceful, law-abiding protesters. A majority who seek to protest peacefully shouldn’t be confused with bands of miscreants. But the rioting has nothing to do with George Floyd, whose bereaved relatives have condemned violence,” Cotton wrote.
2. On the same day, former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, a former Marine general, provided lengthy comments to The Atlantic. Mattis said President Trump’s handling of the protests was part of his larger “divide and conquer” strategy of governance.
“I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled,” Mattis writes. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.”
Marine General James Mattis and all other Generals speaking for the military trump the call for Arms from our distinguished Senator who bravely served in the Old Guard.
