In a way, I feel sorry for our Democratic friends. As Rush Limbaugh has been saying for 20 years, they are playing out of a 30-year-old playbook, just running the same old plays because that’s what Ted Kennedy did.
But conducting a sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives on gun control while protected by the guns of the Capitol Hill police goes beyond doing one more for the Gipper. It shows that the modern Democratic Party and its liberal movement have completely forgotten the point of representative government. It removes the need for sit-ins and street politics.
The sit-in, the peaceful protest, the march are all part of the left’s culture of revolution that started in 1848 in the depths of the first great capitalist depression featuring barricades and insurrection all over Europe. For the left, ever since, it is always 1848 and time to hit the streets.
Earth to liberals. There is a big difference between 1848 and today. Back then the working class didn’t have the vote. As it surged into the cities to work indoors, the only way that the working class could alert the political system to its grievances was by street action. There was nobody representing their interests in the councils of power.
The bourgeoisie and the landed ruling class put down the 1848 revolutions, but they realized they had a problem, so within a decade or two, they gave the working class the vote, and that stopped the rioting in the streets.

I don’t agree with the article. The agitation of the left has been, and increasingly is, very effective.
If we do not start pushing back hard they are going to steamroll us.
The Democrat party has chosen to protect one constituency at the expense of all others, the care and feeding of criminality and chaos, as evidenced by their continued drive for the “naturalization” by amnesty for ALL illegally residing persons of foreign birth, regardless of their willingness to abide by the laws of that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
The scofflaw criminal elements that have streamed in with the hordes of hapless and hopeless economic transients, and the secret fifth column that has slipped in with “refugees” from the Middle East, are both “protected classes” under the cloak of the Democrat party, and the attempt to render the Second Amendment rights unavailable to legal residents of this country, making them helpless in the face of this invasion, are all part of the strategy, including the “sit-in” demonstration for still more “gun control” legislation designed only to take all weapons from law-abiding citizens.
the writer is aware a socialist Islamic leaning person is el president???
Self immolation would be a better tactic than a sit in.
(Spread the word).
I will personally pay for the gasoline needed.
26 of those lying bastards on the House floor, own guns.
It’s too bad they didn’t take control of Federal property in Oregon...oh wait, they’re Dems.
Well, the sit-in didn't work.
Page the rainbows and unicorns fairy and let them try those magic colored ribbons that instantly solves any problem, perversion, mental handicap or feeling of uselessness.
What color hasn't been used yet?
How about using shipping containers, painting them different color coded moods and renting them as safe places.
I'm all out of ideas.
