"LOCK THEM UP!!!!"...without morals and without laws and without a shred of truth,
except for a very brave and very few few... (like Kinzinger!)
(but with quite a large number of CONVICTED pedophiles or accused pedophiles, including those either holding public offices
or running for them--- and Democratic candidates ought to be mentioning THAT
MUCH MORE than any of them do--- so far as I know...
as well as publishing a LIST--- I think there are some out there, with a Google search---
they ARE the PARTY OF PEDOPHILES!!!---)
Otherwise, most 'Republican' politicians ignore most of the 'conservative principles'
which they have preached AGAINST DEMOCRATS for the past fifty years--
--BUT when it comes to dictatorial actions attempted by their MANGO MUSSOLINI --
all they care about NOW is maintaining their political power and robbing the taxpayers
at every possible opportunity--- STARVING THE POOR while FEEDING THE ULTRA-RICH ! (the 'BBB'!)
("What would Jesus do?" Well, from my understanding of the New Testament,
I'm pretty sure that he would do the exact opposite of THAT---
meanwhile, those who most loudly claim to be his followers,
TAKE HIS NAME and plaster it upon themselves IN VAIN
but rejecting his teachings,
as some of their preachers declare elements of the 'sermon on the mount'
to be "too 'woke' !"
and Democratic leaders need to "stop playing patty-cake" with all these Trump/GOP crime atrocities
and call it like it is--- TRUMP and Republican CRIMES against our country!!!
(This is all FAR BEYOND any 'political argument' about 'policy'---
It is about Trump and Republicans RAPING the Constitution
(which they call upon for their own political purposes)
as well as their OATHS OF OFFICE, the LAW, and SIMPLE HUMAN DECENCY!---
And Raping FREEDOM, "for christ sake" !!!!---
So I grow tired of our Democratic politicians who are 'polite',
and normalize all this as 'just another political argument about 'policies',
and seem to be still living in the 1970's---
>>> when they All SHOULD be SCREAMING that
"ALL THIS IS FASCISM, DICTATORSHIP, NAZI-ISM, MONARCHY, And
TRYING TO STEAL AMERICAN FREEDOM WHILE YOU DON'T PAY ENOUGH ATTENTION!!!! )
but, for MOST Republicans, when it comes to a felon pedophile President of their own party shredding the Constitution
and many of the values they previously claimed to cherish (like fiscal conservatism,
respect for the LAW and respect for 'the truth', or respect for 'the principles of Jesus',
'Republican' politicans suddenly either can't be found, or they actually DEFEND his criminal actions!!!!
NONE of those deserve to hold ANY public office whatsoever,
down to the level of 'county dog-catcher'--- since they won't restrain their OWN dog !!!!
Every single one of them needs to be voted OUT of office---
(if they are not arrested first, charged with the various crimes they have committed---
but that may have to wait until another Democratic administration is elected,
an administration with respect for the law, and hopefully one which will FINALLY
hold them accountable for all their crimes!)
******
After the Nazis were defeated in World War 2,
the subsequent NEW German government made the Nazi party ILLEGAL in Germany---
and the rest of the world didn't have any problem with THAT....
I think perhaps the Republican party in the United States,
as currently constituted, ought to suffer the SAME FATE---!!!
(and if Lincoln were alive today, I think he might APPROVE!)
'Free speech' and the First Amendment should afford no defense
for obvious criminal actions--- and I'm sure "The Founders"
would agree on THAT!
YES, this is what you might call an 'extremist message'--- BUT
one of the founders of 'the conservative movement' in the Republican party,
who was nominated for President by them in 1964, said in his acceptance speech that year,
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"
~Senator Barry Goldwater
(YES, he stood against some of the civil rights legislation of the 1960's,
and he was obviously WRONG about that---
and I couldn't agree with most of his conservative political positions---
but those positions were based upon 'conservative beliefs'---
and NOT upon fealty to a Republican FASCIST trying to make himself KING!!!
I believe that if he were alive today, he would be one of the LOUDEST VOICES
against Trump's authoritarianism!)
(( and his "moderation in the pursuit of justice" line rings VERY LOUDLY to ME---
when WE controlled the 'Department of Justice'
and 'the trifecta' of government, our 'moderation'
caused delays, which resulted in NO JUSTICE AT ALL---
ESPECIALLY against the Criminal-in-Chief---
And HERE WE ARE !!!! ))
Later in his senate career, Goldwater warned about the dangers of "the Moral Majority"
and evangelical Christians and those who wanted to outlaw abortion on 'religious grounds'
taking over the Republican party--- and here we are!)
From Google, with my apologies:
Barry Goldwater famously warned that if evangelical religious groups gained control of the Republican Party, their belief that they were acting on God's authority would make compromise impossible. In a famous 1981 statement, he declared: "Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise".
Goldwater's Views on the Religious Right Dictating Beliefs: He criticized single-issue religious groups (such as the Moral Majority) for attempting to dictate moral convictions to all Americans.Separation of Church and State: He argued that government and religion must be kept separate to preserve liberty.
Political Vows: He publicly promised to "fight them every step of the way" if they tried to force their religious views into public policy in the name of conservatism.
Goldwater's Stance on Abortion: A Personal Matter: While Goldwater was personally opposed to abortion, he did not believe the government should ban it, viewing the decision as a private matter for women and their doctors.
Political Unreality: He noted that banning abortion was an impossible goal, stating that "you can make them unconstitutional but they're still going to go out and have one".
Party Strategy: He publicly warned the Republican Party against trying to abolish abortion by legal or any other means.
So YES--- even while I would not have agreed with them on almost all of the political positions,
I now rather fondly look back to those days long ago--- when SOME self-proclaimed Republican politicians
actually DID have some principles which they believed in (whether right or wrong),
and would NOT have "sold themselves to the Antichrist for thirty pieces of silver"
(or an endorsement)!
Now appears those days are gone-- except for Republican politicians who are no longer in office,
or are nearly retired and not running for re-election...
Well, if you managed to read to the end of my righteous or un-righteous rant here,
I thank you... I've been saving a lot of it up, and tonight I finally 'blew'!
VOTE DEMOCRATIC, NO MATTER WHO !!!!!
Any of ALL of them are better than a Republican dog-catcher
who can't control their own dog!!!!!
I spent a lot of time on this, which I could have otherwise spent playing 20-year-old computer video games.... hahaha
