The Left Is Calling the Capitol Riot An ‘Insurrection’ and a ‘Coup Attempt’ for a Reason

Because calling it a "hijacked mostly peaceful rally" would not serve their agenda...

This was a riotous mob

Not compared to five minutes of what has gone on for months in Portland or in the George Floyd riots. And, Democrats insisted those "protests" were mostly peaceful.

Maybe one of you Fountains of Wisdom can explain the compulsive need to regurgitate the “ horrible, stupid and illegal” muck that has sprayed from the anus of the left/media since Jan.6.

Who do you think you’re endearing yourself to parroting this crap?

This plague of bushbots, rinos and plaster patriots howling leftwing talking points is the reason FR is an inconsequential chat room.

“Huge difference, The British troops came to deny their rights and they fought back. First, there’s the issue of whose rights were denied with the Jan 6th vote. That’s yet to be resolved, but certainly not the rights of the capitol rioters. Second, and more important, defense is a much better position against a tyrannical government for both tactical and PR reasons. What we saw on the 6th was a pathetic offense by a bunch of boneheaded hooligans. Not to be emulated or celebrated in any way.”

Of all the dummy crap I’ve seen on FR this is near the top of the list.

He could have been sprayed with perfume and the Left would still have killed ASHLI.

Interesting.

What rights did colonists have under British rule?

Ask the rocket scientist who wrote that - I didn’t.

The Declaration of Independence spells it out. And 250 years later - here we are again.

Pertinent excerpts:

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good...

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers....

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance....

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States... (Ashli Babbitt, et. al.)...

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury...

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people....
