Hysteria

Posted on 9 July 2018 by eehines

Is the Left, in its hysteria, turning more violent? And I don’t mean just Antifa or BLM. Or last year’s attempt by a Leftist kook to murder Republican Congressmen.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was threatened by a group of “protestors” as he left a restaurant last Saturday. One of them shouted

We know where you live, Mitch. We know where you live.

As McConnell left in his car, another of the “protestors” was self-congratulatory:

We did good, fellow citizens.

It’s not just kooks, anymore; these threats of violence and the potential for violence, is going mainstream, as Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D, CA) actively eggs them on, and “mainstream” Progressive-Democrats remain silent beyond a few vapid words on the Senate floor.

This is the level of freedom toward which we can look, if we’re not careful this fall.

This one from a wedding celebration. It seems the newly-wedded couple were sitting at a picnic table under a tree, when a tree branch, with a loud crack announcing its move, began to fall.

The two look up, lean away, and then rapidly depart the table just ahead of the branch’s impact. That’s pretty cool, right? Close, but successful escape.

But what did the man do? With not a move to help his lady, or even a glance to see if she was promptly following, he just booked. Saved himself without a moment’s hesitation to see to his bride. Don’t look back, something might be falling on you.

Not very Gentlemanly. Not at all.

The lady seems to love the man, anyway, and hasn’t a thought for his rapid departure.
