Obama, Lewis, and Booker join in the fun.

The modern political equivalent of “blood libel” is the incessant claim — sometimes by people ignorant enough to say it explicitly and sometimes by people too cowardly to say what they mean, instead resorting to cheap innuendo while slaying quivering white straw men — that Republicans are irredeemably racist.

*snip*

On Wednesday during the second day of hearings for the confirmation of Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions to become the next Attorney General of the United States, we saw the latter.

It came in the form of testimony against Sessions by Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a man who sacrificed much (and never stops reminding us of it) during his years as a civil-rights crusader, and the nauseatingly ambitious Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), whose performance must be seen to be truly appreciated for its overacting and cynicism.

Lewis’s concluding paragraph makes the only thing close to a point that he had:

NEVER before has one man gotten such mileage out of one march as has John Lewis!

Over 32 years in Congress! Awards galore, including our nation’s highest: The Congressional Medal of Freedom!

Bless his heart. Not bad for a man who remains a racist.

Dividers, all three of them. Phonies

And to say that Lewis should be immune from criticism based on what happened in the Sixties, is like saying the same thing should be done with John McCain.....or John Glenn.

No one deserves immunity from criticism when you F up in modern times. What a bunch of spoiled, childish frauds these people are

Far beyond Obama, Lewis and Booker...the Democrat Party is imploding before our very eyes. So is the Congressional Black Caucus *& the NAACP!!! The TV & Print media thinks not...but...they mocked and laughed with gusto over a Donald J. Trump, POTUS run, idiot, fools that they are.

The two kill “Obamacare’ votes in the Senate and House over this weekend, have clearly demonstrated that if the Republican Caucus unites & stays together, the Democrat Party has no political power whatsoever. Obama came to power to destroy the American Republic...but, all he has done was to totally destroy the Democrat Party. Come the 2018 Mid-Term elections, the Democrat Party will consist of less African-Americans, less Hispanics, less Blue collar workers, less illegal voters, a smattering of left-wing women, less Jews, and their new “tiny” Identity group, gays, lesbians & trangenders, public service unions, teacher labor unions. etc.

The Congressional Black Caucus & NAACP will be severly diminished in influence by the likes of Donald J. Trump, Ben Carson, Steve Harvey and hundreds, if not thousands of African-American Clergy men & women, who will join hands with Trump, Inc. to seriously attack the negatvie economic/education/crime/drug, plight of millions of African-Americans that Obama, the CBC & NAACP have clearly ignored over the last eight years!!!

My friends, I called all the Trump political shots correctly...right on the mark....I can assure you, the Democrat Party is committing massive, self-inflicted political suicide. DJT, etc. will take on both the Teacher Unions that have literally destroyed public education in the USA, the colleges and universities with their unproductive liberal low life staffs and, he will diminish the political power of the Public Service Unions across the nation with massive layoffs of thes useless government workers!!! Trump will also lead the attack on Democrat illegal voting...which the Democrats count on to get over the victory bar in so many states, mainly California & New York!!! Had the GOP went after a determinedpurge of illegal cast votes in Nevada & New Hampshire, donald Trump would have carried bot Nevada & New Hampshire quite easily!!!

Bottom line: we have witnessed the American People changing their government. Too bad....the Democrat Party and, their Media, and, lock steppers have nary a clue. Hint: Al Sharpton shouted from the hilltops that he would bring 25,000 people to Washington, DC to protest yesterday...sadly, only about 500-1,000 folks showed up. This country has changed political course forever!!! Go Donald J. Trump...the vast numbers of the American people of all stripes are with you!!!

It’s a beautiful thing to see how one side is
allowed to bring itself down by throwing all
it has at the opposition. This is a necessary
part of the process of restoring our system’s
values and the fact that President-Elect Trump
has only had to show up to have enabled it is
very satisfying indeed. Democrats and the left
(as we know them) are well on their way to a
crash and burn that couldn’t be blamed on pilot
error alone because of the inferior quality of
a ‘vehicle’ that is inherently unstable and less
than airworthy. We should all remember how this
one managed to pass inspection for the last 50
or so years and that they will keep on trying.

The Obama administration’s eight-year window
of opportunity and concerted efforts to force
Americans to undergo “fundamental change”
against our will and the US Constitution turn out
to be somewhat unnecessary, and now it should
be common sense telling us all which is the side
to be on. It’s like being on a journey on a ship that
has a tendency to right itself in the worst of
sailing conditions.

"So if Barack Obama or John Lewis or Cory Booker or Hillary “Who?” Clinton are going to imply that any of those people, or any other Republicans, or you, or I are racists — the only card they have left to play in a country that has witnessed so many years of the failure of “progressive” policies — we, and especially you Republicans, must push back." . . . Ross Kaminsky

Thank you Mr. Trump for pushing back. May many more follow your lead

The "useful idiots" are not going to be very useful.

Nobody is buying the propaganda narrative, this time around.

——The Congressional Medal of Freedom——

Barack Obama reduced the status of that award to that of a
T Ball participation trophy

Yes....no doubt Obama wiil go down in objective histroy as the most incmpetnt POTUS in the History of th USA!!! Howeve...as much , I cannot stand this would be destroyer of the American Republic...he is not totally to blame. Obam is just, the the absolute bottom of the barrel. He has much company, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Joe biden, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, George H. W. Bush!!!

We, the people in the USA are indeed fortunate that there is a God Almighty, for he has shined and guided us with men & women of vision and greatness coming from all political parties.......George Washington (The American Revolution), Abraham Lincoln, (the Civil War), Franklin Delano Roosvelt (World War II Victory), Harry S. Truman (Dropping the Atomic Bomb to save millions of American and Japanese lives, John F. Kennedy (First Americans to the Moon), Ronald Reagan winning the Economy & Cold War)!!!

IMHO....Barack Hussein Obama does not even approach the greatness of any of thes True and Patriotic Americans...not even close!!!

ONWARD....Donald J. Trump!!! We, the people are with you...sir!!!

Large snowflakes, melting. Has no one seen recent TV ads for ‘Spin Mops’? With little effort, the remains of these three might be easily removed.

Despicable characters nobody likes because of their lies, their race pimping for profit, and their pathetic name-calling. Ignore these scumbags that pump the fake news media.

It’s truly disgusting. And they’re got their panties in a twist because Trump dared to criticize this dope so “close” to MLK day. I thought I had enough of these idiots DURING the election - I didn’t realize their behavior would get even more childish and offensive AFTER it.

As for Lewis - so this idiot doesn’t accept our President as “legitimate,” huh? Well, let him quit Congress - he has no business there.

Five more days...
Five more days...

Watching Chris Wallace on Fox. What a tool. Whines how absurd it is to call Lewis a “do nothing” considering he got beat up 50 years ago...

It’s a sure symptom of liberalism. Take any statement you don’t like and insist it means everything everyone has done ever. Clearly, Chris... CLEARLY Trump was talking about Lewis’ actions as a member of Congress, not about his Civil Rights actions decades ago. To re-frame it this way is nothing more than anti-Trump propaganda.

I guess old habits die hard with the media.
