America’s existential threat is the absence of consequences for Democrats
American Thinker ^ | 13 May, 2024 | Lewis Dovland

The pattern that politicians and media outlets escape any consequences for their actions must change if America is to survive.

America as we know it is facing its ultimate existential threat, all focused on whatever the left thinks it will take to ensure Donald Trump is not our next President.

Our dear, constitutional America has crossed the political Rubicon (perhaps the River Styx). In addition to foreign policy, border, and economic problems, it now faces a breakdown in our justice system. Those who use governmental powers to cheat or commit politically based crimes have no concerns about punishment. Heavily abetted by the Marxist progressives in control of our educational, media, and justice systems, nothing is out of bounds for them.

Because America’s left has removed religion from the public space and demonstrates immorality at every turn, we then must look at this issue differently because we now have citizens who have no compunction about lawlessness.

With leftists (progressive Marxists), who now include all Democrat politicians, no penalties for lawlessness apply, and that’s for two reasons. One, they have no shame. And two, even where a penalty could be applied, it won’t.

As James Comey explained in 2016, Hillary Clinton was fully caught having committed several serious violations of our secrecy acts. Ignoring a court order to preserve evidence (as well as statutory requirements for government records), she deleted 30,000 emails and smashed multiple cell phones, yet no one was prosecuted. So, lawlessness worked.

No, the root problem is the system is the corrupting agent.

“What makes you think another party will not be gelded by the Deep State in the same way the GOP has been neutered?

Your thinking fails to address the root cause of the problem.”

*************

A real conservative party would cut spending and gut Fedzilla to reduce its overbearing influence/control over our lives. A huge and increasingly corrupt government must be brought under control as it is a root cause of many of our problems. But the GOP simply refuses to do it, even in the face of an unsustainable debt burden and an abundance of evidence of abuses of power.

The feckless and passive GOP is a fake party that stands for nothing so it falls for everything. No political party is going to be perfect, but we need one that at least has some convictions and principles that it fights for.

BTW I would like to hear your solution to the Uniparty problem.

Like you, I am very uncomfortable with Trump staying in a corrupt party apparatus that doesn’t really like him or his supporters. If Trump should get elected the GOP RINOs will once again resist him at every opportunity, no matter what their majorities in congress might be.

We sent real conservatives to DC. They almost universally get corrupted.

Your wet dream ignores the reality that something in DC corrupts good people.

Instead of slinging cheap shots I would like to hear YOUR solution to the Uniparty problem. Thoughtful comments are always more constructive than gratuitous ad hominem attacks.

You are dense.

I gave you the answer.

Stop the corrupting mechanism that exists in DC.

If you don’t do that, anyone you send there will become part of the swamp.

Believing that a different label on a political party is going to make a difference is not understanding the problem.

There you go again. What is it with your compulsion to attack people instead of calmly engaging in a constructive discussion?
