January SlXTH (C&P)

Burning down American inner-cities, shooting and killing fellow citizens, and directly threatening officials were deemed “peaceful protests” during most of 2020. Few if any protestors were charged or jailed. You allowed “autonomous zones” to be established with no consequence. We were treated to justifications that peaceful protests weren’t effective so It natural and right for folks to employ violence in the name of social justice or fighting fascists. “By Any Means Necessary” (BAMN) activists were celebrated and welcomed to the civil discussion. We were told that police were part of the systemic racism inherent in this country and should be abolished or defunded.
Fast forward to today. It’s now “terrorism”, a “threat to democracy”, or a “coup”. Democrats and the media applaud the police employing tear gas and flash bangs against protestors. There’s no angst with deploying the National Guard or Federal law enforcement. Curfews are not questioned but approved. And OMG the “business” of the Congress is being interrupted.
I didn’t support violent protest this past summer, and I don’t support violent protest now. But spare me the sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit because it’s your ox getting gored now. You’ve not only facilitated and set the conditions for this, you’ve enthusiastically applauded during the entire lead up to it. You are now reaping the whirlwind of your feckless partisan crap.
Consent of the governed indeed.

It just all depends on which side of the aisle a person sits as to how big a deal any of it is. This "identity politics" and "always a D or an R" is bull-oney. But to compare Jan 6th with Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is a travesty against all those who died in those events. But politicians don't seem to care.... they just want to speak to those who they think they can influence and stir them up. NONE of them really want unity in our country, because then they would be out of a job.... and the power they so crave.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Republicans and other enemies of the Free World all claim that our elections are fraudulent.

George Floyd is dead ... that ain't no lie

MsJoe, I don't want unity. Five or six years ago Americans might have wanted unity with Republicans ... I think those days are gone.

I've got nothing to say to a Political Party whose "policy" is Americans wanting to oppress Americans ... I've got nothing to say to someone wearing a Camp Auschwitz tee-shirt ..

If you and haven't been listening to AM Radio radio or Fox News for decades you might not have known that Republicans are at war with you .. that is until Trump showed up. .

It's on now... unity is for suckers

If you hadn't been so intent on attempting to attack and deride me, you might have read what I was saying. It had nothing to do with political unity..... there will never be such a thing. No career politician wants any kind of unity from the people, unless it is to be in unity with what they are yelling.
If the people would actually unite behind common sense and constitutional principles, those politicians would be out of a job, and the power that drives them.

Sometimes I write fast, sorry about that, let me rephrase the last part ..

If a person has not been listening to AM Radio Radio or Fox News for the last couple of decades, that person might not know that Republicans are at war with Democrats .. that changed when Trump showed up.
