Respect for our Nation

Here is an illustration of what the Left—what Democrats—think of our nation.  Recall NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s “protest” against our flag and our nation, wherein he shows his disdain by kneeling during our national anthem.  Now the infection has spread to a State government.

State Senator Jamilah Nasheed, a St Louis Democrat, refused to stand while her colleagues recited the Pledge of Allegiance in the state Capitol. She said her silent protest on the Senate floor was intended to show solidarity with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

Democrats just don’t like our nation, apparently.

Pardon Me?

There is a campaign afoot by folks like George Soros, Daniel Radcliffe, Susan Sarandon; other guys of the Left including Steve Wozniak and Jimmy Wales; the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International to get President Barack Obama (D) to pardon Edward Snowden.  It’s not beyond the realm of possibility, either; recall President Bill Clinton’s (D) pardon frenzy in his last days in office.

Anthony Romero, ACLU’s National Director, even acknowledges that Snowden broke the law, but that shouldn’t matter—there are mitigating circumstances.

No.  If Snowden truly believes what he did was a righteous act of civil disobedience or an act of whistle-blowing or that there are mitigating circumstances, let him come back to the US, stand trial for his actions, and make his case to the nation and to its representatives in his case, the jury of his peers.

Symbolism Matters

But so do actions.

Alex Taunton asked if he should take a knee, too; he decided not.

Kaepernick taking a knee can be a useful symbol—but with what concrete action is he linking it?

As Taunton noted, acts of protest need at least to be connected to the thing protested, they need to be concrete as well as symbolic.

To which I add, acts of protest are not that when all they are are acts of ego.

Another Obama Policy

…that Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton intends to continue and to extend further.

Recall then-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama’s (IL) remark about millions of honest Americans—in front of an audience of 1%-ers in San Francisco:

And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Here’s Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton about millions of honest Americans—in front of an audience of 1%-ers, this time in New York:

[Y]ou could put half of Trump supporters into what I call the “Basket of Deplorables.”

Right? The racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it….

Now, some of those folks—they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.

In fact, she’s not even waiting until she’s in office to extend this Party policy of character assassination and demeaning of anyone—millions of us—who don’t support her or her Democratic Party.

This is what the Democratic Party thinks of honest Americans today.  Imagine how a Democratic Party that continues to rule over America in 2017 will treat us.
