Hatred from the Left… How America is Inching towards a Second Civil War
One of first casualties of war is the truth, often occurring even before a war begins.
An example of such a lie… the idea that both sides of the political spectrum are equally to blame for the absolute hate which now exists in political discourse in today’s society.
Cases in point:
It wasn’t Republican legislators who boycotted a presidential inauguration and it wasn’t Republicans who organized protest marches in many cities on that day which devolved into violence, mayhem and destruction, with celebrities calling for bombing the White House.
It wasn’t a Republican former President of the United States who has actively coordinated and fomented a “resistance movement” against his successor, and then goes around the world trying to undermine everything that his successor is attempting to achieve on the world stage.
It wasn’t a Republican who went onto an Alexandria, Virginia baseball field and attempted to kill as many Congressmen as he could.
It wasn’t registered Republicans who have been shown with mock-up severed heads of a President, or who have called members of the President’s family “c***s,” or advocated assassinating the President, or kidnapping the President’s twelve-year-old son, and putting him in a cage with pedophiles, or placing the President’s Homeland Security Secretary in the nude, tied to a whipping post, and allowing passers-by to take turns flogging her with a whip.
It wasn’t a Republican intern who shouted, “F** you, Trump” in the halls of Congress.
It wasn’t Republicans who entered a D.C. restaurant and verbally harangued Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, while she was attempting to enjoy a quiet supper with her husband, only to leave the restaurant during the meal, and return home to find the same level of hostility being spewed in front of her house.
It wasn’t Republicans in Florida who verbally harassed that state’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, while she and her boyfriend went to see a motion-picture documentary on Mr. Rogers, before, during and after the screening.
It wasn’t a Republican restaurant owner in Lexington, Virginia who asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave the restaurant where her party had made reservations beforehand… that same restaurateur then organizing a vehement and harassing protest in front another restaurant across the street where many of the Huckabee Sanders party subsequently attempted to dine.
It wasn’t a Republican Congresswoman from California, one Maxine Waters (D-CA), who publicly implored her constituents to continue harassing Trump’s cabinet members at all venues where they might be found in an effort to drive them from continuing to serve in the Trump administration, nor was it a Republican Senator from New Jersey, one Cory Booker (D-NJ), who echoed similar sentiments.
No, these are the tactics that Democrats and other members of the political left utilize to foment the socialist revolution they seek. These are the Democrats and other radical leftists who have taken hatred and intolerance to an all-new low, and who are fanning the flames of violence in the streets of our cities and towns, just because they cannot get their heads wrapped around the idea that a member of the opposing political party actually won an election, fairly and squarely, and one who is now seeking to keep the promises he made during his own presidential campaign.
Left unchecked, this leftist lunacy will no doubt result in a second American civil war- something that the media- all of it- desperately hopes will occur, just so they can blame it on… President Donald J. Trump, conservatives and Republicans.
We are reminded of what Golda Meir once said, “There will only be peace when they begin to love their children more than they hate us.”
Make no mistake as to where the hate is coming from… and it isn’t Trump, Republicans, conservatives, or the right.
