Try to imagine, if you can, the all-consuming level of hatred and unbridled pettiness that led to this decision. – JustTheNews.com reports that some group of liberal social justice warriors who claim to spend their time “honoring the life and legacy of Susan B. Anthony” have voted to reject the pardon of the 19th century suffragette and civil right champion issued by President Donald Trump this week.
I swear I do not make this stuff up:
A group honoring the life and legacy of American civil rights icon Susan B. Anthony has refused to accept President Trump’s posthumous pardon of her, arguing the effort would give unearned legitimacy to the 1873 court proceedings that found her guilty of breaking a law that prohibited women from voting.
Trump this week announced he was pardoning Anthony for the conviction, a measure the president took on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which recognized the right of women to vote.
Yet the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House this week rejected the president’s gesture, telling the president in a press release that the memorial organization “must decline [his] offer of a pardon.”
The foundation noted that Anthony, when she was convicted of voting, refused to “pay a dollar of [the] unjust penalty.”
“To pay would have been to validate the proceedings. To pardon Susan B. Anthony does the same,” the museum said in its statement.
“If one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome,” the announcement continued. “Enforcement and expansion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would be celebrated. … Support for the Equal Rights Amendment would be well received. Advocacy for human rights for all would be splendid.”
[End]
So, they put a lot of flowery words around it, but the thinly-veiled motive for this stupid action is nothing more or less than all-consuming hatred of the President. No similar rejection would have been issued had the pardon come from Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self.
These people are pathetic, and deserve nothing but the derision and contempt from real Americans.
Speaking of contemptible people… – The leftist corrupt media has been going all gaga over an ad taken out in the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal by several hundred former Deep State “national security personnel” who for some reason claim to be “Republicans.” Check it out:
Leftist fake journalists like Garret Graff are hyperventilating over the ad without stopping for even a second’s reflection on the fact that, the last time this bunch of Deep State skunks and snakes had real power – in 2001 – they got our country involved in a war in Iraq under false pretenses that lasted over a decade, and in a quagmire in Afghanistan that remains not quite dead 19 years later, by far the longest U.S. war action in the nation’s entire history.
Leftists like Mr. Graff never think for a moment about all the thousands of American men and women who have come home from those ill-considered wars in body bags, nor about the fortunes of the thousands more who have come back without limbs, with faces burned off, or the thousands of others who were so emotionally scarred by the experience that they have taken their own lives or wander homeless, begging for money on the streets of San Francisco, Austin and Seattle.
All he and his fellow fake, corrupt journalists see in that ad is a shot at the Bad Orange Man, a reason to drop the balloons and confetti and open a bottle of cheap prosecco.
What he and the others don’t see, and are apparently constitutionally incapable of seeing is this reality: We love President Donald Trump exactly because these corrupt, fake journalists and the 500 or so fake Republican warmongers who paid for that ad hate him.
This is, in fact, the main reason why Donald Trump was elected in 2016, and will be elected again on November 3.
But by all means, sip that prosecco Mr. Graff. Enjoy yourself. See you in November.
That is all.
The REAL Susan B. Anthony was PRO-LIFE.
So were nearly all of the original Suffragettes.
A simple question for Sen. Harris....
If you were to offer a single piece of advice to a young woman seek to climb the career ladder, which activity would advance you farther faster, swallow or anal ?
