“In her statement, Blum made clear the suspension came because the posts jeopardized Hinkle’s position as an unbiased arbiter of the law.”
This is laughable. There are Leftist activist judges all over the United States. Federal judges ignore the clear law regarding the President’s power to restrict immigration, claim that Trump is an “Islamophobe” because he doesn’t speak in accord with what they deem to be acceptable norms, and they are not only not removed from the bench, but are lauded as heroes. Hinkle, by contrast, notes quite correctly the correlation between the Islamic State’s contempt for jahiliyya and contemporary Leftists’ contempt for U.S. history, and observes (horrors!) that Islam is a violent religion, and he has to go.
It is increasingly the case in America that only one point of view can be expressed in the public square. The freedom of speech is becoming a dead letter before our very eyes.
“Gwinnett Judge Resigns After ‘Snowflakes’ and ‘Nut Cases’ Posts,” by Doug Gross, Loganville Patch, August 17, 2017:
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A Gwinnett County magistrate judge and longtime local politician has resigned from his court position after being suspended over controversial posts he made on Facebook.
Jim Hinkle, a part-time judge who has served on the court for 14 years, resigned Wednesday, Chief Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum said in a written statement. Blum had suspended Hinkle indefinitely after his Facebook posts came to light on Saturday.
“For 14 years, Judge Hinkle has dutifully served this court,” Blum said in her statement. “He is a lifelong public servant and former Marine. However, he has acknowledged that his statements on social media have disrupted the mission of this Court, which is to provide justice for all.”…
In other posts, Hinkle has condemned Islam as a violent religion.
By Wednesday morning, Hinkle appeared to have either deleted his Facebook account or set it to a private setting. But the Atlanta Journal Constitution captured images of his posts before he did so.
“In Charlottesville, everyone is upset over Robert E. Lee statue. It looks like all of the snowflakes have no concept of history,” Hinkle wrote Saturday. “It is what it is. Get over it and move on. Leave history alone – those who ignore history are deemed (sic) to repeat the mistake of the past. In Richmond, VA, all of the Confederate monuments on Monument Ave. have people on horses whose asses face North. PERFECT!”
Later, he wrote “The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history.”…
In her statement, Blum made clear the suspension came because the posts jeopardized Hinkle’s position as an unbiased arbiter of the law….

I have thought the same thing. Destruction of other people’s property is not only a crime, but is meant as a provocation and an act of *supremacy.*
moslums tore down the temples in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. They tear down churches around the world. Cemeteries, and monuments in remembrance of the dead have been destroyed by moslums.
moslums, ciar members specifically, are calling for the destruction of the statues in the U.S. that represent history and culture.
People are being punished for speaking the truth because those who lie don’t wish to hear the truth. In the words of the actor, they “can’t handle the truth.”
It is going to get worse before it gets better. Truth is endangered by the growing fabric of lies.
Peter says
As a non-American I was absolutely flabbergasted to hear that there were moves afoot in the United States to remove statues of General Robert E Lee. As an occasional visitor to the United States I have seen the statue of Ulysses S Grant in New York, and of course have visited the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Lincoln and Grant and the Union Army defeated the Confederate Army. Am I not now allowed to know who the Confederate Army was or who it was that commanded them?
Are you in the United States seriously going to stand by and allow the cultural marxists to destroy your rich and inspirational history?

Those ones who like to bring up slavery as if they themselves were just set free, or are on a waiting list to be, will have a difficult time proving that there ever were slaves if they get rid of all of the evidence of a Confederate South.
Once they are all gone, the claims of the right to be rewarded with money for having had ancestors who were slaves can be denied.
Brian Rogers says
That is interesting. But I don’t think they will ever let us forget that.
DrSique says
Thanks for the acknowledgement, Peter. But, if this judge can be forced out of his position while Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who has been exposed for rigging the Hillary Sanders primary and for keeping a suspected criminal on her staff, can remain in the well of congress than NO, it is unlikely that we will be able to stop the erasure of our history. This eradication of historical information will free up the radical elements in our society to fabricate their own distorted version and our young people will be ignorant brain washed automatons. They have already been able to make the Statue of Liberty about immigration instead of a beacon of ideals, gifted to us from France. Rules for Radicals, written by Saul Alinsky, teaches that goals should be achieved “by any means necessary” so twisting reality to fit ones ideology should not be considered extreme.
Juan Martinez says
Peter, you are a wise observer. The Leftist movement here in the US is attempting to wipeout and re write our history. What the Left does or does not realize is that, those who forget ad do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
paul says
These people are being used by CAIR, and other muslim terrorist groups, like Soros putting $15 ads on Craigs list for these parasites.. They have no idea what the statue means. Its EXACTLY the way they, the muslims are destroying churches in the middle east. Its time to start picking them up and getting the story out of them. Funny. The KKK Klan cars used to get there, some have obama stickers on the bumpers. Its NOT what it seems folks. Follow the money!.

The current Labour party is as far left as is possible without naming them as Marxist. Expunging history is a favourite tool of any ‘Big Brother’, likewise whitewashing reality.
John Forbes says
This is why the RIGHT needs to get organized & rise ! The DESTRUCTION of the Confederate STATUES & MONUMENTS is WRONG & totally unacceptable !
IMMIGRATION from ISLAMIC COUNTRIES needs to STOP NOW !
This is not about RACE but about an IDEOLOGY WAR That ISLAM has declared on the WEST & the WESTERN POLITICIANS are still in DENIAL ABOUT!!
THE refusal to even LOOK at the teachings & organizations & rhetoric gives this IDEOLOGY more breathing space & over time can SLEEP WALK DEMOCRACY to DEFEAT !!

He should NOT resign after his suspension but fight that said suspension right up to the SCOTUS if need. With his resignation, he caved in and thus established terrible precedent for the future. America is constantly turning in WRONG direction!

Purging anyone who dares support what is right and just. The left is destroying this country. That will pave the way for the marching masses of Muslims who will find it very easy to turn this into a Muslim country.
TL says
Leftists are made in government primary schools and secondary schools, and in private dungeons which follow their lead. The production of leftists is a feature, not a bug, of secular, collectivist schooling.
So, are you now, or have you ever have you been, a supporter of government schooling? If so, blame yourself first for an outcome which you now pretend to oppose.

And to say that Only Black Lives Matter (or Only Muslim Lives Matter) would be the very definition of unbiased.

Resign for articulating a valid and accurate observation?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
We’re seeing the primacy of emotion and appearances over factual reality. Fictive reality. What’s being done to Trump with this national emergency over his Nazi sympathizing is based on the media’s rejection of his statement on Charlottesville not being good enough. True, his statement was factually correct, but not good enough. Same goes with the national emergency investigation into Trump’s treason during the election. That’s necessary because of the shock, even though there is no indication of a crime, much less evidence of one. Fictive reality. I notice that George Orwell’s name has been mentioned all over the place recently, and rightly so.

Speaking as someone who thinks it a good thing that the Union was saved back in 1865, I can only say that Judge Hinkle was absolutely right. One reason why we’re the First World and ISIS (and Mao’s China, and Kim’s North Korea) are the Third is because we are willing to face our history warts and all.
Were the Charlottesville march not organized by neo-Nazis and Klansmen, I might’ve participated.
It is a sad day when those in power cannot speak truth.

So we have Soros, Obama, the DNC, and just learned that CAIR/Council for American Islamic Relations is now in on the destruction of our nations history.
Wake up America, please before its too late.

Freedom of speech: once lost cannot get back, this judge has a personal life and he’s was fired for all the wrong reasons, his right to express himself off the bench was taken away and that people is happening everywhere.
BTW: he’s was correct in his comments, I agree with him. The people who attacked have a paid job which is to go in and attack which in my book means they are the scum of the earth.

The judge is very wise and knows what he is speaking about. Cultural genocide of Islamic heritage and worshipping at historical sites is counter to wahhabist Creed and considered heresy. ISIS follows that Creed.
In 1801 wahhabist Saudis sacked Karbala and Najaf in Iraq destroying holy sites such as the tomb of Hussain, son of Ali.
In 1803 Saudis captured Mecca and Medina and destroyed historical monuments and various holy Muslim sites and shrines such as the shrine built over the tomb of Fatima daughter of Muhammad. They would have destroyed the grave of Muhammad in Medina since they considered it idolatrous but they did not have a chance to complete their destruction.
Also destroyed were cemeteries tombs mausoleums mosques and sites associated with the family and Companions of Muhammad.
Ottoman forces had to reassert control of the region and rebuild sacred sites. In 1925 they were once again destroyed by Saudi conquerors under abdulaziz al-saud.
This Custom of destruction is done in actions to avoid excessive veneration leading to Shirk. ISIS destroys archaeological sites, especially the pre-islamic ones.
Even the kings of Saudi Arabia are buried in undisclosed sites with no markers on their graves to avoid visitation.
Expat88 says
Shirk is the sin of practicing idolatry or polytheism. It is the deification or worship of anyone or anything besides the singular Allah. Literally it means ascribing or the establishment of Partners placed beside God. It is the vice that is opposed to the virtue of Rashid (monotheism). Those who practice shirk are termed mushrikun. Mushrikun are Those who commit Shirk and plot against Islam and are enemies of Islam.
In Islam shirk is an unforgivable crime if it remains unpardoned before death. Allah may forgive a any sin if someone dies in a sinful state except for the sin of committing shirk.

They’re not “Nut Cases”, Your Honor, They are Militant, Violent National Socialists and, historically and politically, direct descendants to Hitler’s Nazi’s.
NotAFool says
They’re destroying history precisely so it can be repeated. The zealous malevolence against America from the left is going to push people into the hands of the far-right just so that their country is protected from this attack.
JOHN says
In case you haven’t noticed, there is no such thing as a “Far Right”. That is an illusion manufactured by the Radical Extremists responsible for the current destruction our country and there hasn’t been a legitimate “Right Vs. Left” political element in this country since the New Deal. Just as in Bolshevik Russia and Nazi Germany, Radical Socialist factions went to war against the American majority, it’s culture and it’s society. Since the 1960’s, they’ve taken it upon themselves to make this a conflict of “Us Versus Them”.

Again and again conservatives begin to fight, then freak out at the pushback and quit. DON’T QUIT. Understand going in that the left will fight with everything they have and be prepared to never give an inch. How does standing up for the law comptomiseca person’s ability to neutrally uphold the law? It is crazy that he wasn’t prepared to fight back against even such an absurd charge as this.
He could aldo note that judges have the same rights to free speech as anyone else and that while expressing opinions might on occasion place him so close to a particular case that he has to recuse himself it CANNOT be a firing offense unless he is advocating for lawlessness, the opposite of what this judge was doing.
Ric says
Nothing rattles the leftists’ chains more than the First Amendment or the truth. If one is diverse of their politics or thought, they are banished. In this case, it was a judge whose opinion did not counter with the leftists of the judiciary. This nation, a Constitutional Republic is eroding by the hands of the leftist saboteurs at a rapid pace. Conservatism is deemed, by this scourge, to be the true Enemy of the State, not Islam or those of the extreme left endeavoring to dismantle the Constitution and turning this nation totalitarian; a Marxist Nirvana, collectivism, and despotism.
Understanding the Conservatives who at times are meek or submissive in disposition is more often than not absolutely mind-boggling. America is becoming a laughing-stock, not because of an outspoken President but those of the political-right with idle minds gawking in silence while the leftists dismantle this nation brick-by-brick. Most boggling is the fact; President Trump retains McMaster.
Something stinks, I question the President’s motivation for doing so. McMaster is an operative of the spurious, treacherous former president, Obama.
Jacqueleen says
Dr. Alveda King made a wonderbul suggestion….All of the discarded statues should be placed in a Museum to preserve history and not destroyed. Brilliant idea, Dr. Alveda.
