Something has happened
to the Democratic Party, something dramatic and awful. It wasn’t that long ago
that the Democratic Party liked the United States, and its members weren’t
afraid to say it. Now saying positive things about the country will get you run
out of the party and possibly attacked by a mob. Their media minions will cheer
it all. And, if things go as expected next month, these people could retake the
House of Representatives. These people in power should scare everyone.
There is nothing they
won’t do to win, no lie they won’t tell, and no norm they won’t obliterate. The
last few days alone provided us with many examples to demonstrate this very
thing.
This week saw liberals
obsessed with the disappearance, and now we know murder, of Jamal Khashoggi.
The obsession was not over how he was killed, despotic governments kill their
citizens all the time and no one bats an eye, it was a combination of two
things – his job and the opportunity to attack President Trump.
Khashoggi was billed as
a journalist, but he was more of a columnist. Either way, if he had any other
job you never would have heard his name. But journalists love stories about
journalism the way Hollywood loves movies about the movie business. Add in the
ability to blame his murder on the President’s criticism and you’ve got the
perfect media storm. And Democrats were more than happy to jump on board.
First, let me just say
that I don’t care. I know you’re not supposed to say this, but I’m not
interested in lying to you. It’s sad that a man was murdered, but it happens
all the time. No one’s profession makes them special. He wasn’t an American and
it wasn’t in this country, so I don’t care.
More importantly, I’m
not interested in destroying or even damaging our relationship with Saudi
Arabia over this. Our relationship as a nation is much more important than one
of their citizens, even if he wrote for the Washington Post. Democrats know
this, yet they’re out calling for sanctions and worse. Why? Because they see a
political advantage in it.
President Trump has
been rightly critical of the media in this country because they’re terrible,
biased in every way and have gotten so many stories wrong or simply lied about
his administration. His words, however, had nothing to do with what happened to
Khashoggi in Turkey. You’d never know that from watching our media.
Half the personalities
on MSNBC flat-out
blamed the President for inspiring the murder, and at least one idiot
Democratic Congressman, Joaquin Castro, said
he’d read “reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence,
delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS, in Saudi
Arabia and that the prince may have acted on that, and one of the people he
took action against is Mr. Khashoggi.”
This is horribly
irresponsible and evil. It’s also just how desperate to regain power Democrats
have become. In addition to attempting to implicate the President in murder,
Democrats are actively encouraging illegal aliens to come to the country, no
matter the damage to Americans.
They call it a
“caravan,” what it really is is a conga line of no-skilled, non-English
speaking people marching up Central America to meet liberal activists at the
border waiting to greet them with open arms and help them skirt our laws in the
hope that they’ll inspire American Hispanics to vote for them. It’s sick.
Even though our economy
is booming, and there are more jobs than people looking for work, those jobs
aren’t for people illiterate in their native tongue, let alone unable to
communicate in our language. But Democrats have embraced this lie that somehow
tens of millions of illegal aliens running up massive unpaid medical bills and
whose children cost a fortune to educate are the key to economic growth.
As far as Americans
being the victims of crimes committed by these illegal aliens, 100 percent of
those crimes would be prevented if the perpetrators weren’t in the country in
the first place. Every murder, rape, robbery, and assault would not have
occurred if our border were secure and we deported people here illegally. That
means liberals are perfectly fine with Americans being victims of those crimes
because they think their identity politics gambit will bring them more votes
than the indifference toward citizens costs them. Again, sick.
Speaking of sick,
another example of a Democrat attempting to play identity politics was
California Congressman and media darling (and leaky source) Adam Schiff. This
pile of human garbage accused New Jersey Congressman Tom MacArthur of saying “his
Korean American opponent is 'not one of us.’” The only problem is it was a
lie, MacArthur never said that. Moreover, MacArthur has 2 adopted children from
South Korea. Schiff was calling his colleague a racist against Koreans, against
his own children. What kind of a person does this? How disgusting. MacArthur
asked Schiff to apologize, and of course Schiff ignored it. Being a liberal
means never having to say you’re sorry.
Democrats haven’t
apologized for the body counts in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, or any of the
other cities they’ve controlled for generations, why should being lying, racist
piles of rotting rat excrement bother them? The ends justify the means to the
left, which is why they can’t be allowed back anywhere near power.
These are just a few
examples of what they’ve done recently, stretch the timeline backwards further
and they become too numerous to count. Every one of them done in pursuit of
power. Maybe someday the Democratic Party will shift back to one that actually
embraces American exceptionalism, or at least isn’t hostile to the ideals on
which this country was founded. Until then, they must be defeated. Because if
they’re willing to do these things, and much worse, to obtain power, just
imagine what they’d do if they got it.
