I don't think I've ever been more disgusted with my government than I was watching what took place on Capitol Hill yesterday. I don't think I've ever seen a more repugnantly pretentious spectacle than the insufferable and seemingly interminable political grandstanding and self-aggrandizing of the legislature of the United States. Apparently, the legislature of the United States is appalled, that the people who own the building in which they endlessly verbally auto-fellate themselves, dared enter it without their permission. You have to love the irony of people pontificating on "democracy," using the word hundreds if not thousands of times, after expelling the very people who own the building and pay their salaries. The legislature is flagrantly under the impression that the people being present is a threat to freedom. When the converse is true. It is the legislature, far too often operating completely independently of the people and without their supervision, that is the problem.
It seems completely forgotten by all that the Democrat Party is guilty of the greatest perfidy in American history.
"Disloyalty, before unsuspected, suddenly became bold, and treason astonished the whole world by bringing at once into the field military forces superior in numbers to the standing army of the United States.
Every department of the Government was paralyzed by treason. Defection appeared in the Senate, in the House of Representatives, in the Cabinet, and in the Federal courts. Ministers and consuls returned from foreign countries to enter the insurrectionary councils or land or naval force. Commanding and other officers in the army and in the navy betrayed their councils or deserted their posts for commands in the insurgent forces. Treason was flagrant in the revenue and the post office services, as well as in the Territorial Governments and in the Indian reserves.
Not only Governors, judges, legislators, and ministerial officers in the States, but even whole States, rushed one after another, with apparent unanimity, into rebellion. The capital was beleaguered, and its connection with all the States cut off.
Even in the portions of the country which were most loyal, political combinations and societies were found furthering the work of disunion; while, from motives of disloyalty or cupidity, or from excited passions or perverted sympathies, individuals were found furnishing men, money, materials of war, and supplies to the insurgents' military and naval forces. Armies, ships, fortifications, navy-yards, arsenals, military posts and garrisons, one after another were betrayed or abandoned to the insurgents. Congress had not anticipated, and so had not provided for, the emergency. The municipal authorities were powerless and inactive. The judicial machinery seemed as if it had been designed, not to sustain the Government, but to embarrass and betray it.
Foreign intervention, openly invited and industriously instigated by the abettors of the insurrection, became imminent, and has only been prevented by the practice of strict and impartial justice, with the most perfect moderation, in our intercourse with nations." - Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, Feb 14, 1862.
I saw zero acknowledgment of this fact. I saw zero moderation (for fear of hypocrisy) from the party that perpetrated it, as it (assisted by a cabal of complicit Republicans) farcically construed people casually loitering within the Capitol, as the greatest act of treason to ever occur on American soil. Instead I watched as the same side that's been portraying cops as racists for months, celebrating their deaths, and calling for the defunding and/or outright abolition of the police, stood in the Capitol building and praised the "brave" Capitol Police for expelling the people from the people's house. I watched as the party that supported harassment of political opponents, assault, theft, vandalism, the burning of cities for months, completely lawless "autonomous zones," and called those who perpetrated all of these things "peaceful protestors," referred to those who entered the capitol as "domestic terrorists."
The Democrat Party openly supported people screaming "ACAB" in the streets, and scrawling it all over anything they could reach, for the better part of a year.
And then all of a sudden there was "such thing as a good cop," according to the people previously calling the police terrorists for arresting "protestors."
Enforcing law bad for Democrat Party yesterday so police bad. Enforcing law good for Democrat Party today so police good now. I've yet to hear any Democrats denounce the police using lethal force in the Capitol building yesterday (to protect mere "property") by the way. For months they've been puking rhetoric that property is replaceable, but people are not, in defense of violent Communist terrorist groups engaging in massive property destruction.
I saw this sentiment being parroted by Biden supporters over and over for months. Yesterday? Nothing. There were no appeals for the magnanimity they wanted following their actual insurrection. Those "traitors" got what they deserved, and deserve still much worse, was the sentiment I heard from virtually all Democrats.
Democrats, who either tacitly or even vocally endorsed abject anarchy for months on end, bloviated on "rule of law" yesterday on Capitol Hill. Democrats, who've been the spearhead of virtually every unconstitutional initiative in our lifetime (and for generations prior), who merely weeks ago openly stated their intent to pack the Supreme Court for example, stood with straight faces and feigned a reverence for the "Constitution" after having engaged in widescale voter fraud to circumvent it. I watched as a Democrat lamented seeing the Confederate Flag at the Capitol. Never mind that the Confederacy was run by Democrats. Like Democrat, and Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephens.
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth." - Cornerstone Address, March 21, 1861.
I watched as the same party that has called Donald Trump a "fascist," "Hitler," and his supporters "white supremacists" assiduously for four years, referred to Trump as a "demagogue." I watched as those who call themselves "Republicans," many of which did little to nothing to counter that wildly fallacious and insidious rhetoric, basically did the same thing. Socialist Republican hacks like Mitt Romney, who saw an opportunity to simultaneously elevate themselves while claiming vengeance against a man they personally loathe, did what they so often do; crossed the aisle to stand in unity with the Communist Democrats. If you don't believe me, simply look at the vote.
Zero Democrats broke rank with their party. Fifty nine Republicans crossed the aisle to stand with the Communist Party. This is almost always the case. The Democrats always, eventually, get what they want; because even when Republicans have a majority it's negated by GoP turncoats. "Bipartisan support" has consistently merely been another name for the GoP betraying its constituents.
I watched as numerous public servants, stated the Capitol was "desecrated" by the presence of the people they serve, and chided them for some alleged act of violence that took place there. Because obviously our noble legislators, chosen from among us, and yet somehow so much better than us, would never sully that hallowed structure with such odious comportment. Never mind that in 1856 Democrat slavery supporter Preston Brooks, beat Republican Charles Sumner with a cane nearly to death on the senate floor after an anti-slavery oration, causing Sumner traumatic brain injury and chronic pain stemming from such for the rest of his life.
The hypocrisy, narcissism, duplicity, and cowardice on display was enough to gag a maggot. The Democrats used the incident at the Capitol to portray Trump supporters as racists trying to establish a despot. And the GoP did what it does best, and used it (along with state autonomy) as an excuse to grab their ankles, and let the Democrats do as they please. (Did you see these champions of federalism take a stand, when the Supreme Court legislated from the bench, and effaced laws banning "gay marriage" legitimately passed through referendum throughout half the Union? Me either.) Both parties used what transpired at the Capitol as a scapegoat to completely ignore or dismiss the objections and the issue of election fraud. I saw legislator after legislator use virtually their entire allotted time to talk about themselves. My daddy did this. When I was a kid I did that. I ran for office to do this. As if such meandering anecdotes had anything to do with the matter at hand. Not a single one, not one, mentioned that a forensic audit of voting machines discovered that the data for this election was gone. Deleted. The data for older elections, two, and even four years ago, was still present. But not this one. There's only one reason for that to be the case.
I said the Republican Party was a useless cabal of cowards, and needed to be abolished, years ago. Probably on this very blog even. People scoffed at me and called me a Democrat. If this doesn't wake them up, nothing will. It's always the same song and dance with these two parties. Democrats break the rules, they lie and cheat to get what they want. And Republicans, who insist on following the rules to their own and our detriment, let them. You can argue that breaking the rules would make us no better than the Democrats, and in the strictest sense, I'd agree with you. But I also know, that you cannot win against an enemy who ignores the rules, by being that only one that follows them. You are operating within constraints against an opponent that is not. Adhering to rules is only beneficial for both sides when both sides are doing it. If you insist on adhering to the Constitution, for example, when your enemies do not, then you are bound by the Constitution and they are not. Their disregard for those rules benefits them, and your insistence on adhering to those rules also benefits them. If a rule is an obstacle, they will circumvent it. Conversely, they know you will follow the rules even when it's to your detriment.
Imagine a football game in which your team is the only team following the rules. The other team demands to start with a 21 point lead because your team is "privileged." Your team allows it. The other team demands that their captain flip the coin, in their locker room, without anyone from your team observing. And your team insists on accepting the outcome of that toss. The other team throws the ball through the field goal posts. But your team insists on kicking it. The other team runs out of bounds to avoid tackles and keeps going. Your team insists on staying inside the lines. When you protest it falls on mostly def ears, as many of the referees are fans of the other team and were selected by it. And your team insists on respecting their decisions. Etc., etc., etc. It should be obvious to anyone not a vegetable, that you no longer have a fair game occurring, and that it would be incredibly difficult for your team to win under such circumstances. (And yes, some of the above being blatantly analogous to the election was intentional.). You were the honorable team in this scenario. You followed the rules. And you will suffer an honorable defeat because of it.
It needs to be understood this is how our two party system, and therefore our government, currently operates. (And has for generations.) We operate upon the (correct) premise that rules mean what they originally meant and are always binding. The left operates upon the premise that the rules mean whatever you want them to mean and are selectively binding. When the Constitution permits their agenda the Communist Democrats cite it as binding to induce compliance from our side. When it doesn't they simply pretend it doesn't exist. If someone reminds them that it does exist, and doesn't permit what they want, they simply engage in historical revisionism or subjectively reinterpret it to accommodate the exigencies of the moment. We cannot win under this paradigm. And no one, not in the GoP, or anywhere else, is doing a damn thing about it. The Democrats are never held accountable for anything, and the GoP establishment, as evinced once again yesterday, will never hold them accountable. They're too busy believing they're saving "democracy" by facilitating the Democrat Party's subversion of it. And this will never change as long as most of the GoP refuses to accept the reality of what the Democrat Party has become (the unofficial Communist Party of the United States).
Mike Pence had a choice to make yesterday. He could adhere to what he believed the rules to be, knowing it benefitted the enemy of his God, his country, his party, his constituents, etc., or he could throw a wrench into their machinations that at least stymied if not thwarted them. He chose the former. Like the good GoP boy he was expected to be; that the left knew they could rely on him to be (unlike Trump). Am I saying we should just start ignoring all the rules too? No. But either the left has to be made to follow them also, or we need a new/separate system exclusive to those that do. This we need to be the bigger, honest, more decent person, and adhere to the rules even when the opposition doesn't, strategy of the GoP (for decades) has been an unmitigated disaster. It's been facilitating the left's subversion of this country for far too long.
Just in case it's yet not clear, what I'm trying to convey to you reader, is that every day your Republican representatives accept a paradigm in regard to governance, that no mere football fan would accept to decide a frivolous contest of sport. And another thing that should be clear to you, is that if a partisan inversion of what transpired yesterday ever occurs, the Democrat Party will do what your Republican representatives refused to do. They will not care that your party chose honor over expediency. Because to Marxists, the expedient thing to do, is the honorable thing to do. Whereas Republicans viewed the absence of an explicit proviso in the Constitution as proscription (there's nothing that says we can do this), Democrats would view the absence of such as permission (there's nothing that says we can't do this).
I was very critical of Trump in the past. I'm not apologizing for that. I was right about most of it. Trump has caused me a great deal of concern at times, but those concerns have previously been articulated in great detail, and this contribution is simply not about that. The Republican Party, with its abject capitulation yesterday, utterly vindicated Trump's supporters. They were fed up with the GoP rolling over to the Marxist left and wanted a leader that would fight. Trump did fight. And the GoP establishment, as always, rolled over. (And yet these morons obtusely express bewilderment, as to why Trump has devout followers, and they do not.) Even as someone who was never a "Trump guy," I am so sick of the nauseating, boundless, and self-defeating pusillanimity of the GoP, I feel compelled to sympathize with and defend him. Because even if I don't like Trump, I know one thing for certain. If ever there comes a time to fight, the cowards of the GoP establishment won't be there for me, any more than they were Trump.
I leave all of you now, operating under the delusion that a subverted party, or government, can be reformed from within, with a quote from the Reverend James Willson's sagacious work on civil government.
"It is so easy to lull the conscience by the delusive idea that the best way to reform a government is first to swear to support it, and to take part in its operations."
Joining a subverted entity ultimately results in you becoming compromised, complicit, and therefore subverted yourself. Our broken system only gets fixed when you take it upon yourselves to fix it. Rot is remedied by extirpation, not by mixing the good with the bad.
