I suppose I have become cynical in my old age. After years of hearing Democrats describe spending as "investments" and the theft of our hard-earned money under color of law, and at gun point no less, as our "fair share," I have become numb to Democrat outrage. It is all just Kabuki theatre to me. Then someone like J. B, Shurk at the American Thinker comes along with a rip-snorter entitled Our Self-Important, Self-Deluding, Self-Unaware 'Elites' and I remember how I felt when I recieved my first pay stub. The notion that the government would take a huge amount of my money, and use it to fund things like "foreign aid" and welfare checks to people who wouldn't go out and earn it outraged me. But as I say, over 70 years I have become numb. But don't you become numb. Read Shurks screed. And whenever you read "Democrat" think "Democrat/socialist/communist." I'll provide some money quotes though:
Our self-appointed “ruling class” is insufferable. Two-plus weeks into the restored Trump administration, and the Democrat/media outrage template has become utterly banal:
(1) Trump delivers on a campaign promise.
(2) Democrats collapse onto fainting couches and wail, “He can’t do that!,” and then
(3) those same sobbing sad sacks get back up, clutch their pearls, and collapse in anguish yet again.
It would be amusing if their funerary pantomime were not so exhausting.
And this:
Unindicted “Russia collusion” co-conspirator and former acting director of the FBI Andrew McCabe ran to the Communist News Network to complain that all his old friends at the Bureau are terrified of being fired. He reported to fellow Democrat traveler Anderson Cooper that FBI officials are worried about how they’re going to pay their bills and take care of their families. “If you get fired,” McCabe explained energetically, like one toddler telling another toddler about the world, “you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job. You lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension, you lose your health insurance.” Baby Cooper agreed with Baby McCabe that those consequences sound scary.
Yet neither had the requisite self-awareness to ponder, “Is this what J6 protesters felt like when the Gestapo FBI hunted down alleged trespassers as if they were America’s ‘Most Wanted’ criminals?” Watching the two Democrat babies cry about FBI agents losing their jobs and reputations after we have seen the Bureau do the exact same thing to law-abiding Americans for years is absolutely surreal!
Did Cooper and McCabe ever shed a tear for military veterans who were treated like domestic terrorists for merely showing up in D.C. on January 6, 2021? Did they call out the federal government’s atrocious actions when patriotic Americans with no prior criminal records were forced to choose between egregious plea “deals” and spending years in pre-trial confinement away from their families? Did they ever stop to wonder how ordinary citizens who don’t have the “elite” privilege of avoiding prosecution (as McCabe did) or the luxury of a side hustle on CNN (because the “most trusted name in news” regards liars and lawbreakers as “reliable sources”) were ever going to pay their bills or provide for their families?
Of course, it wasn't JUST the FBI who persecuted these people. There were the DOJ prosecutors and the Judges who kept people in prison for years without trial. The only reason to keep a person in jail pending trial is that they are a flight risk, or they are so dangerous that society needs to be protected from them. Neither applies to January 6th defendants. But the FBI agents should have refused to go after these people on the grounds that it was an illegal order. Had enough of them stood up, the whole nightmare would have collapsed. They deserve what Trump is handing out. And it is not revenge, it is justice.
Speaking of losers, Senator (up)Chuck Schumer ran to the Senate floor to complain about President Trump’s decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (which has always been a CIA front for fomenting revolutions and may have funded gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan, China), the Department of Education, and other nefarious limbs of the Executive Branch that essentially launder taxpayer dollars into the bank accounts of bad people. Ol’ (up)Chuck fumed, “This is just the beginning. ...Who knows? Next might be the IRS.” And the people of America rejoiced!
It was obvious even before Democrats started openly grooming children with “drag queen” story hours and encouraging them to have sex “change” operations in the fourth grade that the Jackass Party is totally delusional. But consider just how incurably delusional the Dim Dems must really be for their highest-ranking leaders in government to run to the cameras and cry about the possible elimination of the dreaded, politicized, corrupt, and well armed IRS.
I can't remember the first person who proposed a flat tax, but I have always like the idea. Under the proposal, everyone, with no exceptions, pays a flat 10% of their income to the fed. Someone once suggested, I can't remember who proposed it now, that we could file our income takes on a post card. Here's how much I earned, here's 10% of that amount. Done. The IRS would be much smaller and have much less power. Perhaps that is why the Democrats (read socialists and communists) are so apoplectic about losing it.
Please go read J. B. Shurk's article and enjoy the delicious outrage as Shurk unloads on the Democrats' crying. Conan the Barbarian comes to mind.
