We are seeing more of the same old narrative to create fear and division. While they scream about mass killings, they claim they need to take away your guns to make you safe. It will only disarm you so you can’t protect yourself against criminals who are still armed because they don’t obey laws about not owning guns. They scream about police brutality and claim they need to defund the police to protect you from police brutality, however it means there won’t be any police to protect you from those criminals. They claim they have to stop arresting criminals because it unfairly affects Blacks but it means those criminals will be back out on the streets committing more crimes. They prosecute those who report crimes saying we need to protect people’s privacy  while they do nothing to prosecute those criminals allowing them to continue their crimes. It also makes people reluctant to report crimes out of fear of being prosecuted. It seems like there is a pattern here. Their goal seems to be to encourage crime and violence.

It is interesting to hear the rhetoric of the media and liberal politicians in response to the response of President Trump to the killing of Charlie Kirk. They say he is inciting people to violence. Lets look at the facts. Liberals call on their followers to attack anyone who supports Trump and they should kill him. Those people have not done anything wrong, they just stand in the way of liberals getting what they want. That certainly leads people who have low self control and very few scruples against killing to attack and even kill Trump supporters. The liberal politicians and media  say their followers should riot in the streets to show their opposition to what Trump does. They feel that is all protected by freedom of speech and doesn’t lead people to violence. They say we should take away guns from innocent people so they can’t defend themselves against criminals who hide their guns so they won’t be taken away. They also say we should defund the police so they won’t be able to protect innocent citizens from those same criminals. They also say we shouldn’t punish criminals for minor crimes. We should allow them to go back out on the street where they can commit major crimes. On the other hand, we have Trump who calls on the police to seek out and arrest these people who go around attacking and killing other people, so they can be tried in court and if convicted, should be punished by putting them in jail, where they cannot commit more crimes. Liberals feel that is hate speech and should be banned because it leads people to violence.  The only ones incited to riot by calls for justice are liberals who hate police and the court system. However calling on liberals to attack conservatives does incite liberals to violence. Since it enrages those conservatives who do not like being attacked, it may also occasionally lead conservatives to attack liberals. They bring up examples where someone attacked an abortionist or an abortion clinic while ignoring almost daily attacks against pro-life pregnancy centers and Catholic churches that call for an end to abortion. It is hypocrisy to think that an isolated attack on a liberal is a threat to democracy while almost daily attacks on conservates do not pose a threat.

I find it interesting that the mayor of Washington D.C. is protesting the presence of national guard to restore order. President Trump called up the national guard to patrol the streets of Washington D.C. and threatens to do so elsewhere. The mayor of Chicago has also vigorously protested. Washington D.C. and Chicago are among those cities with the highest crime rate in the nation. In a recent weekend in Chicago, 28 people were killed. That doesn’t include robberies, car thefts or other crimes. Residents of Washington D.C. are breathing easier for the first time in a long time. They can finally walk the streets without fear of being attacked since there has been almost no crime in the city. Crooks are probably laying low since they know that the National guard will arrest them and not turn a blind eye. They also know that they will not be let off with a mere slap on the wrist. Laws are meaningless unless they are enforced. Criminals who know that they do not stand much chance of being arrested and if arrested will be let off with just a slap on the wrist will not hesitate to commit crimes. President Trump is showing that crime can be reduced with proper enforcement.

Many increasingly feel that our democratic processes aren’t working, and we are being told that only a strong government can solve the problem. The American people must not allow themselves to think strong government will solve the problems it has created. The increasing actions of liberal judges and politicians to ignore the will of the people, the Constitution, the laws of the land, and the Supreme Court create a mounting frustration of the American people. That boiled over during the Obama administration and led to the election of Donald Trump. However, the liberal media was silent about his success in restoring the economy and the power to the American people. Their repeated attacks on President Trump and lies about him have given the American people the false impression that President Trump failed, further fueling their frustration. The January 6 demonstration in Washington is an indication of how widespread that frustration is. However, their innocent intentions pointed out the greater danger. That is that liberals will use the frustration to seize control of the government. They continue to claim that the danger posed by conservative demonstrations requires that the rights of the American people be suspended, however the real problem is that it was the suspension of the rights of the American people that fueled the demonstrations and further suspending those rights will not solve it. It was the heavy-handed actions of the king that led to the Boston Tea Party and it was the heavy-handed response to it that led to the Revolutionary War. Maybe we should pay attention to history.

I find it interesting how difficult it is for some people to connect the dots. Liberals are repealing laws designed to protect homeowners who are protecting their family and their homes, they want to take away your guns so you can’t protect yourself, and they want to defund the police so there will be less police to defend you. This hurts minorities the most since the cities pull police out of minority areas to avoid conflict. Liberal politicians tell the police not to interfere with rioters and mobilize the media against police pressuring the courts to convict police to avoid further rioting whether the officers are guilty or not. As a result, police are afraid to enter situations that may be used against them and avoid potentially dangerous situations. That encourages rioters to attack police since they know the police either aren’t allowed to fight back, or are afraid to. In addition, liberal courts let criminals off with very little punishment, so it becomes easier to commit crimes without fear of being caught or being punished. That makes you an easy target for crime and assault. In fact, crime and murders have skyrocketed in areas controlled by liberals because criminals know that they are less likely to be caught or prosecuted. Yet the voters continue to vote these people back into office. Is it really that hard to see what direction things are headed? As another round of elections comes up, maybe it is time for a change.
