My goodness, these people just don’t give up, eh? They’re utterly fine with BLM/Antifa firebombing buildings, including federal justice centers, assaulting people, including federal employees and law enforcement, looting, property destruction, creating their own little “autonomous zones”, and so forth. But, a few people became a bit crazy and mostly wandered around the Capital Building (owned by the People of the U.S.) and took selfies after someone opened the door, then left. Which caused Democrats to build all sorts of walls (walls work?) and pour tons of National Guard units (which Dems treated like crap) into D.C. like a third world hell hole. But
Investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection will resurrect democracy
On July 4, we celebrated the dawn of American democracy. This past Tuesday, July 6, marked the half-year anniversary of the U.S. Capitol insurrection, which many mourned as the democracy’s sunset.
Would this be the same Independence Day that so many Democrats offered lots of hate for? Hate for the nation, hate for the Flag?
It was democracy itself, not simply the Capitol, that was under siege. People who faithfully remember Independence Day should never forget the day that our Capitol — the people’s House — was taken over by an angry mob.
People who remember Independence Day remember what the people of that time did to break away from England. The mob actions taken. Taking up arms and fighting for Freedom.
If it had been solely up to Republicans, we likely would have already forgotten the onslaught against the democratic process or dismissed it as the behavior of unruly tourists. But Democrats and democracy prevailed.
These are the same people who equate what happened with 9/11, when the only person killed, Ashli Babbitt, was shot by a police officer, and Democrats will not allow anyone to know the details. It will be interesting to see how Democrats try and block that information during the nutbag hearings?
The House committee should get clear answers to the complicated questions that surround the assault. Inquiring minds want to know what led to the insurrection and, more importantly, prevent anything like it from happening in the future.
Prevent? The Founders were all for insurrection for when the Government became tyranical and stopped listening to the Citizens. We are not here for Government. It’s the reverse.
As pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, McCarthy called the president, who, according to one account, said, “I guess those people are more upset about the election than you are.â€
Well, yes. All these months later there are still tons of things that do not make sense.
The democratic experiment that started on July 4, 1776, is still a work in progress after 245 years. Americans have reformed the system over that time to make the political process truly democratic and inclusive, but we still have a long way to go.
Hopefully, the House inquiry and public reaction against the insurrection will stimulate a resurrection of American democracy.
What process is this supposed to fix? Blowing past the stupid “democracy” thing, no need for that discussion yet again, is it that Democrats want to restrict free speech? How about protesting? Petitioning for redress of grievance?
