House impeachment managers, led by Democrat Congressmen Eric Swalwell and Jamie Raskin, spent days accusing President Trump of inciting an insurrection on January 6, based upon his use of phrases such as “fight like hell” and “take our country back.” The irony, the hypocrisy, which Democrats ignore and the media covers up, is that these very gentlemen and many more of their party have said the same or worse.
On September 23, 2020, Congressman Raskin tweeted: “The GOP rush to replace Justice Ginsburg is all about destroying the Affordable Care Act, women’s health care and reproductive freedom, and the voting rights and civil rights of the people. We must fight like hell to stop this assault on health care and the Constitution.”
In 2018, during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, Congressman Swalwell mocked the serious threats that were made against Republican Senator Susan Collins in an effort to intimidate her into voting against Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Swalwell’s comment on the credible threats on her life was “Boo hoo hoo!” At the very moment that he made these comments, an angry mob stormed the Senate Hart building to intimidate senators. Over 300 were arrested. Another mob attacked the Supreme Court Building on the day of Kavanaugh’s swearing in, pounding and clawing at the doors, but these were obviously NOT, according to Democrats, an insurrection. Only the attack on the Capitol Building fit that category because many, though not all, of that group were Republicans rather than Democrats!
The comments against the Trump administration by Senator Bernie Sanders led one of his supporters to open fire on Republican Congressmen who were practicing for a baseball game, severely wounding Congressman Steve Scalise as well as his protection detail, who were able, thankfully, to kill the gunman before any Congressmen were killed?
In 2018, before she was officially sworn in as a member of the House, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led a mob of 200 young activists into Nancy Pelosi’s office, demanding that Democrats pay more attention to Climate Change. The 200 refused to leave and after several hours over 50 of them were finally arrested. But this was NOT an insurrection!
Over the summer and into the fall, Black Lives Matter (a group whose leaders are avowed trained communists) and the fascist, domestic terrorist group ANTIFA, caused more than a billion dollars in damages in Democrat-controlled cities around the country. Democrat leaders refused to denounce their violence as they beat up reporters, broke car windows of innocent motorists, looted stores of flat screen T.V.s and anything else they could carry off, burned down businesses, and yes, murdered people. The mayors mostly hamstrung their police so that more police than rioters were injured or killed. Governors refused President Trump’s offers of help in stopping the violence and instead watched benevolently as their major cities burned in what the media persisted in calling “mostly peaceful demonstrations.” In Seattle, the mayor even let a mob occupy several blocks of her city, running out police and calling it CHAZ, an independent state. She described it as a summer of love until some of the unfortunate people who found themselves living in CHAZ were murdered. Then, and only then, facing the ridicule of the nation, did she send in the police and take back her city. But none of these ongoing riots which ran police out of their precinct buildings, took over parts of a city, and burned down much of many others, none of these were insurrections!
In fact, Democrat leaders sometimes marched with the rioters (until their personal safety became an issue) and many of them helped bail the domestic terrorists out of jail. Kamala Harris, our current vice-president* tweeted on June 1, 2020, “If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.” And so, BLM and ANTIFA were bailed out by Democrats to burn, steal, and kill another day, because this, this was NOT an insurrection!
Recently conservatives got a good laugh when someone repeated Rep. Maxine Waters (D) words against President Trump’s Cabinet members in 2018 (“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”) but made them seem to be directed at Democrats. Democrats went ballistic at the threatened physical harm directed at them until the laughter from the Republican side of the aisle became so loud that someone finally googled the quote and found out that they were Waters’ words. The story died a quick and silent death!
Here are other Democrat leaders who have voiced opposition to ratifying the electors in previous elections and/or have voiced the same words as President Trump did in his speech to the Washington crowd or even more incendiary words:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Democrat Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
Democrat Senator Jon Tester
Democrat Senator Cory Booker
Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren
Democrat Senator Mark Warner
Democrat Senator Bob Menendez
Democrat Senator Chris Coons
Democrat Senator Chris Collins
Democrat Senator Dick Durbin
Democrat Senator Jackie Rosen
House Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin
President* Joe Biden repeatedly stated he wanted to punch President Trump or take President Trump out behind the gym and fight him.
Vice President* Kamala Harris laughed about killing President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Former Chicago mayor Rham Emmanuel once said, ““You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” and Democrats are taking those words to heart. All Republicans are being called terrorists and traitors following the breach of the Capitol building and the objection of 140 Republican House members and many Senators to suspend the ratification of the electoral college until the credible accusations of voter fraud could be investigated. The fact that many Democrats have voiced similar objections in the past and that the objections are a part of the constitutionally laid out process, is again being ignored. Conservatives are being shut off of social media sites, but even more chilling are these words by former CIA Director John Brennan in an interview with MSNBC:
“We are now looking forward that the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, Nativists, even libertarians,”
In other words, all Republicans and libertarians are terrorists, especially those religious extremists like me, who actually believe in God and the truth of the Bible. And they will be coming after us, according to Brennan. If you lived through the Cold War, you would believe you were now living in a Communist country because this is what Communists do. Silence all opposition. Nancy Pelosi has introduced House bill, H.R. 1, which mandates mail-in ballots( which most countries have outlawed because of the ease of voter fraud) and which criminalizes political speech!
Here is an appropriate parable: A scorpion is sitting on the bank of a river and needs to cross. Because it can’t swim, it asks a passing frog to carry it on its back across the water. The frog hesitates and says, “You’ll sting me!”
The scorpion says, “Oh no, I wouldn’t do that, because if I sting you, we’ll both drown.” So the frog is convinced, and agrees to the arrangement, and halfway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog.
“Why did you do it?” gasps the frog.
“I couldn’t help it,” says the scorpion. “It’s my nature.”
Why should we be surprised that the House under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi would impeach President Trump with no due process, with no evidence, and without calling any witnesses, when he had only about a week left in office. It is their nature. They had already wasted three years and massive amounts of money on an investigation into Trump/Russian collusion, when they knew it was all based on a faked dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign. Then they had impeached him once for a perfectly appropriate telephone call which their witnesses even admitted was appropriate. Alas, it is the Democrat Party’s nature to be vindictive.
It is the nature of the Democrat Party to lie. It is the nature of the Democrat Party to ignore violence when it is to their benefit and to condemn it when it is not. It is the nature of the Democrat Party to seize power in any way that they can, and once they have it to never let it go. It is the nature of the Democrat Party to force people into submission, whether by closing down their economies, mandating mask-wearing, or even double mask-wearing, while violating their own orders with regularity. It is the nature of the Democrat Party to take every dollar from our pockets that they can possibly get in order to waste it on their frivolous, un-scientific current whims. It is their nature.
Thousands upon thousands of Americans who voted for Democrats have already been stung, and millions more of us are soon to follow. When will voters learn that Democrats can’t help doing harm, it’s their nature?
