Watching the Democrats Shoot Themselves
Townhall.com ^ | July 20, 2019 | Michael Reagan

Posted on 07/20/2019 6:31:52 AM PDT by Kaslin

Thank God for the British Open.

For four days I can watch the best professional golfers in the world playing on TV instead of watching the Democrats playing their political games in Washington.

It was a crazy week of controversial presidential tweets, rabid accusations of racism by the liberal media and parliamentary turmoil in the House of Representatives, but Democrats worked extra hard each day to prove that they are still deranged.

For instance, a hundred House Democrats defied the wishes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and made fools of themselves by trying - and failing - to pass a resolution to impeach President Trump over allegedly racist comments he made about Democratic congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar.

Meanwhile, liberal, moderate and socialist Democrats in Washington were shooting at each other in a circular firing squad that made their party look even more inept, confused and lost.

Pelosi, a lifelong lefty, continued to be upstaged, disrespected and made to seem like a moderate Democrat by AOC and her wrecking crew.

The four rookie representatives - who in six months have made it clear they prefer socialism over capitalism, Palestine over Israel and open borders over immigration reform - like to call themselves "progressive women of color."

But Pelosi has a less exalted opinion of them, especially after their leader, AOC, appeared to play the race card when she hinted the speaker was singling them out for criticism because they were women of color.

Nancy Pelosi a racist too? Who's next? Oh, I forgot. Everyone's a racist now.

House Mother Pelosi retaliated for the socialist foursome's trouble-making by dubbing them "The Squad" and reminding them that despite the six months of slobbering attention they've gotten from the liberal media, they were "only four people."

President Trump, who has cleverly made AOC and her gang into the politically unattractive face of the Democratic Party for 2020, stirred the pot by calling them out as "hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down."

He was right.

Of course, everyone on CNN and MSNBC was certain Trump picked on the Squad because of their color, or because they were women, but as usual they were totally wrong.

Trump doesn't care what color or sex the Squad members are.

He picked on them because they keep saying the same stupid socialist stuff, keep stirring up trouble in the media by misrepresenting conditions at the southern border and keep charging anyone who disagrees with them as being a racist or a bigot.

The president made a rare political mistake earlier this week by uniting the bickering Democrats with a tweet storm that implied that House members leveling nonstop criticism at America should first "go back" to "help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

Trump didn't name the Squad members, but everyone knew whom he was referring to. He was predictably called a racist by Democrats and just about everyone with a laptop in the liberal media.

But he was right to bash the Squad for their radical views. They are not just dumb, they're dangerous.

Their presence in Congress reminds me of that famous but unverified quote that Nikita Khrushchev reportedly said in 1956 about how the USSR would eventually defeat America: "We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within."

So let me get this straight.

While I have to watch Democrats in Congress waste time hating and sanctioning the president and trashing America as a racist country after it twice elected a black president, I still have an invasion of illegal immigrants on my southern border.

And while I watch Democrats -- and Republicans -- in Washington spend another year kicking the healthcare-reform can down the road, I have a daughter-in-law and son in Los Angeles who suddenly had their private health insurance cancelled and must now sign up with the state's system because there's no competition in California.

Both Republican and Democrats are at fault for our healthcare and immigration messes.

Both parties have recently held total control of Congress and the White House at the same time, yet neither one honestly tried solve the country's two most important problems.

If they can't get find the political courage to fix healthcare or immigration by next fall, we shouldn't give one member of Congress from either party a single vote.

At this point, the only person I think who deserves to be reelected in 2020 is the Republican who's repeatedly proved he has the will and the cajones to stand up to the Democrats and the liberal media -- Donald Trump.

I listened to the press scream questions at the President yesterday. The hatred and disrespect is just shocking. They really do hate him. Not news of course but I hadn’t listened in a while. To treat a sitting President this way is something new.

——The president made a rare political mistake——

In retrospect, the President did not make a mistake. As usual, he enunciated what was foremost on the minds of lots and lots of Americans.

The thought is now in the current lingo, gone viral. The chant in Greenville was said by Rush to be in jest, in ridicule. Rush was right on.

If you do not like America....... leave

...There’s a Curse
...For Ya!

They curse themselves by dwelling upon evil
By honoring hatred, avarice, sin

Only by Looking at Jesus
Believing in His Sacrifice and Grace
Placing His Words in our hearts, and
Taking up the Cross and walking
Do any of us have any hope

The Curse they place on themselves

... rabid accusations of racism by the liberal media ...

Read some of the driveby's crap, or listen to the TV news. It's no longer an accusation. They treat it as true statement.

Google "Trump's Racist Tweet".

It comes up with millions of hits from millions of articles.

It's beyond insufferable.

Even the so-called Fact Checker sites are doubling-down on it.

In a way, I'm glad. Their hate is now oozing out into the open, exposing them for what they are: Propagandizers.

AOC is not the leader. Omar clearly rules the Sasquad. Just watch the dynamics between them.

I hope that Trump used this “controversy” to round up and deport 2 million illegals while the press wasn’t looking...

I really liked it when the media had a meltdown over Trumps answers about the squad. He was not elegant and he was not nuanced. He took a firm and to the point pro-American stance. Trump is a blunt instrument when it is defending the nation and we sorely needed that after Obama. He is unabashedly pro-American, period. The people see that, even the left. However, the left thinks being pro-American is a bad thing. I’m not sure how to undo that brainwashing.

Uh, really? I know how this played in the NY Slimes and on CNN. How did it play among the little people?

WRONG Mr. Reagan. Your TV, like all TVs, has an on/off switch. Use it.

*Emphasis mine.

No Siree! No Republicans voted for Obammacare, so that's totally the Dems Fault. As for the Dems they are united in supporting the crazy asylum laws and just signaled free health care to the border hoppers.

Then some of them signaled they would take away health insurance from all Americans while giving it away to the illegals.

AH, YA, the Dems OWN IT.
