When did a congressman nearly cane another one to death on the floor of the House?
Demonicrat hate, including their murderous hate against infants in the womb, is supported and encouraged by Demonicrat treason and the fifth-column leftist media.
I am guessing Charlie doesn’t know much about Hamilton and Madison.
Well said.
Yes the Democrats are hateful, but I have to think that civil war was worse.
Very well said.
Sick and tired of having Filthy Heathen Liberal Sh*t shoved down our throats since 1960.
Charlie, there was this little stretch in the early 1860s . . .
“Hate 101” is a required course taught in college campuses across the country.
“I am guessing Charlie doesn’t know much about Hamilton and Madison.”...…………
Why don’t you test him to see what he DOES know, I’m betting he could hold his own in such a debate. Just because he is from the south does not mean he is not learned in history of this country. Just saying……..
The only difference between now and past political eras is technology makes it easier for more people to vent their spleen publicly.
Mr. Lincoln was often treated as badly as Mr. Trump, called a backwoods, ignorant savage who did not understand how things worked in Washington.

Former Vice President Aaron Burr did the country a service in a little spat with Alexander Hamilton.
I agree that we are probably no QUITE to that level of hatred BUT it is closing in on us. The current incivility is becoming very blatant, with most coming from the LEFT.
The incident you are referring to is the premeditated attack on Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA) on a close to empty US Senate chamber, by a trio of intruding Southern Democrat Representatives, the attacker, Rep. Preston Brooks (D-SC), and his colleagues, Rep. Laurence Keitt (D-SC) & Rep. Henry Edmundson (D-VA). Brooks' weapon was a thick gutta-percha cane and he attacked a sitting Sumner without any declaration or chance for defense. His fellow thugs threatened others who responded to the noisy attack with their own canes and a pistol.
This all occurred on 22 May 1856 during the "Bleeding Kansas" crisis following the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska Act. The South was determined to maintain power by having Kansas come in as a slave state if at all possible. Senator Smner was a leader of the opposition to that effort.
The only difference between now and past political eras
With all due respect, you may have me confused with someone who is concerned with Daniels' knowledge of history. More simply put, this level of political acrimony is nothing new and Charlie is wrong.
Thanks for adding the crime/corruption topic. Shirley applies here. Problem is that 96% of the hate Charlie mentions comes from folks who are mentally diseased.
Death seems a pretty efficient way to shut them up.
“Globalism is the kingdom of the antichrist”
Probably the best sentence I will read all day.
Charlie is right.
The level of hate that progressive communists have for patriotic United States citizens has been elevated by academia to the point that they believe patriotism should be punished.
Talking about disputes that erupted into physical altercations on the floor of government meeetings is not the same as the pure hatred that progresssives are willing to spew out at the drop of a hat towards what was acceptable to both sides just a few decades ago.
If you cannot sense the current of hatred flowing below the surface of public discussion concerning politics I envy your naivety.
