This morning at approximately 7:10AM Representative Steve Scalise, a Republican Congressman from Louisiana, was shot in the hip by what appears to be a politically motivated attack. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those injured by this senseless act of violence.
I believe this attack can be directly attributed to the political divide caused by eight years of consistent inflammatory rhetoric that has been spewed from the mouth of former President Obama, and other members of Congress with the same twisted liberal notions to convert the U.S. into some kind of perceived Socialist utopia.
This type of behavior has only been emboldened by the lack of moral conviction in the previous administration, the I.R.S. targeting of conservatives, and the failure to indict or convict for those actions and the actions of Hillary Clinton, along with Eric Holder skating through the murder of border agent Brian Terry, Loretta Lynch’s circumvention of the law by political interference in an F.B.I. investigation, and a whole host of other improprieties during Obama’s tenure.
Obama often mocked the Republican Party and conservatism throughout his presidency, almost on a daily basis, appearing on all kinds of talk shows and attending Liberal forums perpetuating the lie of success and gratification through Liberal ideals.
The Liberal media and academia are perpetuating the same delusional rhetoric. The sad thing is a lot of these idiots are buying the goods wholesale. More recent depictions of actually encouraging violence against the President have been done (Kathy Griffin’s severed head of Donald Trump, and the disgusting play depicting a stabbing of the president).
I submit that these incidents cross the line of “free speech” and fall under the category of treason. It is not so far fetched for a delusional person to decide to commit this type of horrific act, if they see it portrayed on television by their idolized Hollywood actors. Free speech does NOT allow you to yell, “FIRE” in a movie theater because this puts lives at in danger. Yelling “FIRE” in a movie theater will get you arrested. Free speech does NOT allow you to threaten the life of President Trump by saying you’re going to bomb the white house (MADONNA) or by portraying a play stabbing President Trump (THE PUBLIC THEATER), or holding the severed head of President Trump (KATHY GRIFFIN). These are not representative of a first amendment right, these are criminally prosecutable threats against another human being and all involved should be arrested. And since it is against the President of the United States, it is a class E felony, including jail time and huge fines.
Make no mistake, this shooting will be proven to be a direct act of political violence, aimed at conservatives in some kind of twisted effort to help perpetuate the Liberal narrative. THERE IS NOT NOW, AND HAS NEVER BEEN, ANY SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE OF SOCIALISM IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!!!! Example after example shows us that Socialism is only as effective as its leadership’s control of the population governed by it. How this massive lie can have such a grip on the youth of America as well as those in government is absolutely astounding to me.
America needs to wake up!
There is more than one jihad on our hands. This war will have to be waged within our borders, and like radical Islam, it is a war of ideals. At some point Americans are going to have to not only recognize the threat to our democracy, but call it out for what it is, and, unfortunately, probably deal with it in the same manner as Islamic extremism. The false narratives in both cases have to be dispelled. People that follow both of these extreme ideologies must either assimilate to true American culture, or be removed from our society, or frankly, this country is doomed to failure like all other countries that have gone down that path before us.
