© 2018 Jim Spence - Engage Democrats online in the comments section of a website where news articles are published, and you will encounter rage almost immediately. This rage is as disturbing as events in San Jose, California a couple of years ago, when Trump supporters were filmed as they were chased, slammed to the ground, pummeled with fists, kicked, and even pelted
with eggs and hard projectiles.
Since the Trump 2016 election victory, throngs of criminals chanting anti-Trump rhetoric
have dragged people from their cars in places like Chicago and beaten them. Elsewhere, armies
of masked black-clad “antifa protesters” have engaged in senseless acts of violence. In
Portland, Seattle, and L.A. they have routinely beat up people they suspect did not vote Democrat. Riots have broken out all around the country. Washington D.C., Portland, Seattle, and
Berkeley, are just a few of the places that have been made unsafe for free speech. Allison Stanger, a professor of political science (a Democrat) was injured by an anti-free speech mob that was opposed to her hosting author Charles
Murray, when he was speaking at Middlebury College. Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise was shot and critically
wounded by a pro-Bernie Sanders gunman in Washington. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was threatened
and chased out of a restaurant by Democrat protesters. White House Press Secretary
Sarah Sanders and her family were kicked out of a restaurant by the Democrat
owner. Ted Cruz and his wife were threatened at restaurant by a screaming mob
of anti-Brett Kavanaugh protesters. Earlier this week Hillary Clinton said, get this........Democrats need to be less civil and more “ruthless.” Wow, she actually one-upped serial violence promoter and fellow Democrat Maxine Waters.
Are these people you want to give more power to?
Let's return to the real problem here. The problem for Democrats is they don’t have the votes,
which ironically is pretty much what it takes to govern.
Consider how Democrats and Republicans have behaved regarding a few recent Supreme
Court nominees. With Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, the Republicans did not
have the votes. No Republican would stoop so low as to trash these two people personally, despite the fact that
all Republicans knew these nominees would not rule the way the GOP wanted them to
on court cases. Both Kagan and Sotomayor sailed through their confirmation hearings with discussions limited to legal questions. Both received GOP votes.
With Merrick Garland, the last Obama nominee, the Democrats
only held 46 senate seats. Garland was simply not going to be confirmed.....period. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell cited a precedent
established by then Senator Joe Biden to deny Garland hearings and a vote during a
presidential election year. Democrats didn’t like it, but they did not have the
votes. The outcome on Garland was never in doubt and Garland went back to his job on the
bench as a Court of Appeals judge, without being trashed as a human being by people who were opposed to his nomination.
Brett Kavanaugh was nominated and once again, as has been
the case for quite some time, the Democrats didn’t have the votes. We all saw
what happened. Because they were angry, like the mobs they incite almost every day, and because they did not have the votes, Democrats decided to use a person who wanted to remain anonymous, to accuse Kavanaugh of being a rapist thirty-six years ago. These charges were so frivolous the objective was delay, not deny. However, there is no doubt that Judge Kavanaugh was forced to deny the slander as well as explain to his two young daughters what happens when Democrats don’t have the
votes.
Americans see how Democrats behave when their bad policy ideas don't yield votes. Do you want these people to
have more power or less power as an appropriate reward for their very bad policy ideas and atrocious anger-driven behaviors?
