I know some here will cheer this kind of insurrection and sedition, but their behavior sends a very dangerous message to the country. This is not some sort of civil rights issue/moment. It is a clear message that they are going to refuse to offer any kind of conciliation, cooperation, or reaching out to get the business of the country done. This kind of behavior creates a huge National Security risk and it is best we all wake up and be aware of those concerns.
The world is watching America being torn apart by these progressives and their actions. The country is watching and has been on the verge of civil war for at least 6 years under Obama.
This is an act of sedition to the legitimate authority and transition of power.
Forty extra seats for American patriots.Damn good start.
Lewis, who sees Trump’s Nov. 8 win as oopportunist often do, will continue his bald face lie that Russia interfered in the election, for the sole puroose of fund raising and will continue to seek new manufactured issues thst harmonize the synthetic aspects of oppression by the cracker aka “Blue Eyed, White, Devil” to guilt trip him for the privelege of being white while Lewis and “His People” who carry their mark of Cain, or as the Mormons say “Laminites to the bitter, with a goal of self serving interest, demonstrated by his accumulation of wealth, while making vacuous claims of all sorts, knowing he is a man of little a accomplishments.
Lewis may be known for leading civil rights protests in the 1960s, including the 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., in which state troopers brutally attacked the crowd.
What is curious is that the very people who beat him and others that day or were giving orders to such were Democratic Luminaries such as Bull Connor, George Wallace, ef al.
When the bill came before the full Senate 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator launched a filibuster to prevent its passage.
It began with Senator Russell a Democrat of Georgia: “We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states.”
Really? You Asshole....
Even the venerated Senator Strom Thurmond (D) South Carolina wanted in on the competition for biggest Asshole of the 20th Century: “This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress.”
If you aren’t just as big an Asshole as Senator Russell, you were certainly a boil on the body of humanity, who should have been lanced to prevent further infection.
But there are plenty type of Assholes around....
Even the sweet old man of West Virginia got in on the action with his filibuster and intent to insure the bill failed.
Not surprising as he was a Grand Wizard in the KKK.
I’m sure he was inspired in his speech to filibuster for 14 hours and to deny an American equal rights and equal protection u Der the law but, for him it was always about color.
He was black and and white on the issue.
Interestingly and telling ate the vote tallies by party on this issue, which was really idiotic, as there had already been a war fought over the issue of equality, a 13, 14 and 15th ammendment and even the Civil Rights Act of 1875.
Yet, here we were 100 years after the deaths of 600, 000 to settle the issue of slavery and equality arguing the very same points.
In fact, I never really know who the bigger Dicks with Ears were, at the time but, Robert Byrd makes at least the top 3 and Strom Thurmond is probably tied with him as he expressed his opposition and actively worked to deny other human beings and Americans equality with this gem of a quote:
“This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress.”
Only White People existed in their paleolithic world, which yearned for the days not of tolerance but, that time which made imprimatur their conceit and would have enabled them to deny another man his equal and due justice, with no distinction.
But, here is poor old John Lewis throwing with the one party who never once, as a collective, recognized and made it their duty to free men of bondage and ensure their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, equally, under the law.
John Lewis is also a klan man just under the guise of a victim, while he shamelessly and sleazily attempts to prey on the rest of us and make us feel guilty for being white.
Mr. Lewis , you are welcome for the 600,000 who died ensuring you would be free as any other man.
You are welcome for the 13, 14 and 15th ammendment and two, that’s 2 Civil Rights Acts.
Now, all of this heavily promoted and passed in large part by the party you vilify.
On any of these issues: 13th and the 14th and the 15th ammendment as well both Civil Rights Acts the Republicans overwhelmingly led on these issues.....Because it Was Right.
Republicans led by by 80+ percent in their party, while Democrats could only muster some 60% of their party to support and correct an error that should never have happened.
Seriously, what....erh, uhmmmm, whose side are you really on?
I believe the question answers itself.
Spruces up the neighborhood for a while....
This will come back to bite them eventually.
The Republicans/PE Trump should take this childish act for what it is and just go about their business of governing and enacting their MAGA Agenda...then watch the Dems blow more of their remaining gaskets? Maybe they’ll all then boycott Washington for good and migrate to Mogadishu or the like?
No matter!
Afterwards Trump will be the President, republicans will be the majority, Obamacare on its way out the door.
Until a few days ago, no one had any idea whether Lewis would attend, or not. It was not a topic. Now, Lewis has the spotlight, the dems have an excuse, and Obama is gone.
Lewis said, “Trump is not legitimate”, what he meant was, “Trump is not Obama”.
Cool! More open seats for Americans!
They all must be real proud of their nation, now...
Gee! I wonder how many GULLIBLE white people voted to put them into office and now find out that they are are RACIST and hate whites?
Remember this when they whine for us to reach across the aisle.
Let them all stay away. The place will smell better and look much better.
The Democrat strategy is now crystal clear — foment as much racial fear, resentment and hatred as possible. By using the worthless “civil rights” bell cow and conspicuous stooge, John Lewis in an attempt to de-legitimize Donald Trump’s presidency, they’re desperately hoping to keep struggling blacks on the Democrat plantation.
Democrats generally, and black Democrats specifically are responsible for herding poor blacks into inner-city ghettos for the sole purpose of creating government dependency. In doing so, they’ve cultivated a monolithic black Democrat voting block, which they’ve abused since the 1960’s to maintain power and control.
Their greatest fear, which is now obvious, is that President Trump will make good on his promise to eradicate inner-city crime, create jobs, improve education, stop the wholesale slaughter and restore dignity, quality of life, independence and hope to black families that existed prior to LBJ’s culturally destructive “Great Society” welfare laws of 1964.
They and their lackeys in the FakeStream media know that if their monolithic black voting block is dismantled (for all the right reasons) and dignity and prosperity is restored to all black communities, and blacks are finally freed from this politically motivated oppression -— the Democrats and their party will never win another election.
Only forty? Come on Democrats snhow the world what you’re made of and ALL of you stay away. My fondest wish That would end their party by June.
And the response should be: As far as the White House is concerned, these 40 Congresscritters DO NOT EXIST. They are not invited to the White House, the White House does not take their calls, nor do any cabinet Secretaries or Federal Agencies.
They play their game, and we play ours. . .
Good. Maybe they can all go over to John Lewis’ house and kiss his ass all day long.
“It is a clear message that they are going to refuse to offer any kind of conciliation, cooperation, or reaching out to get the business of the country done.”
The way ?I see it, it was the same way with Bush...the left just wasn’t so up front and open about it. Nothing has changed. The left DOES NOT ‘work with’ republicans, ever.
Ah, fewer felons there. Not bad.
They’ll be back in their home districts stealing things there.
40? It’s a good start but we have a long way to go in three days.
Really?
