Rep. Gohmert goes full Alinsky to make Democrats play by their own rules

Democrats are dismantling anything in America that has ever been connected with slavery. Statues are felled, school names are changed, and institutions are rebranded. Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and others are gone because of their connection with enslaving blacks.

Rep. Louis Gohmert from Texas has been paying attention, and he’s gotten the message. The new rule is that slavery, which ended in America over 150 years ago, is so wrong that anything associated with slavery must be banned. Gohmert introduced a “privileged resolution calling on Congress to ban any political party or organization that has held a public position supportive of slavery.” As his official statement makes clear, the only thing still operative in America that meets this metric is the Democrat party:

SNIP

Gohmert has mastered Alinsky’s Rule 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

Two weeks after (Sumner's) caning, Ralph Waldo Emerson described the divide the incident represented: "I do not see how a barbarous community and a civilized community can constitute one state. I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom."
Hmmmm.

Exactly!   (It's probably better, though, that the FBI were sitting around listening to music, than doing the kind of reprehensible stuff they've been up to in more recent times!)

(The only thing I know about that song is that, no matter how many times I've heard it, I never did know exactly what they were singing!   I knew the "Louie Louie" part, but most of the rest of the lyrics remain a mystery to me!)        :-)

For anyone else who might be reading this, here it is again -- see if you can decipher the lyrics to Rep. Gohmert's song!

And here's the story about the FBI investigating that song:

Louie’s got it all wrong. Don’t push to have them change the name of the Party...Cancel It. Disband it, Prevent the Democratic Party from putting up a Candidate for President based upon the racist ideology. Remember the Confederacy, Slavery, the KKK all Democrats!
