Commentary
If you were to stage an insurrection on the Untied States government would you, (a.) simultaneously attack the power grid at multiple points, turning out the lights across the country or (b.) dress up like a horned Star Wars character at a comic book convention and enter the Capitol building, unarmed, as if it were Halloween?
You don’t have to be an experienced insurrectionist like the late Muammar Gaddafi (who was armed to the teeth during his, needless to say) to know the answer.
If you replied (b.) you are either a moron, a liar, or a Democrat—or some combination of the three.
What occurred in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6 of this year was about as far from an insurrection as I am from being a spaceman living on Mars.
Were those people stupid? Sure.
Were they juvenile? Rather.
But were they insurrectionists? You gotta be kidding.
And that’s leaving out the obvious details that the only person who got killed in this so-called insurrection was a Trump supporter shot by a Capitol policeman—we still don’t know who—and that videos show other Capitol police waving the demonstrators through, including that “dangerous” Chewbacca guy, into the building as if it were a national holiday and they were rubbernecking tourists from Kansas.
In fact, these people were the true patriots, trying, in their clumsy way, to get their country back, or what they thought was their country.
The real insurrectionists are the people accusing them of insurrection. They, the accusers, the ones demanding a “commission” to study this non-existent insurrection, are the ones taking over our country and imposing their will on the people.
And they are doing this after an election whose fairness has never been investigated and about which no one can say—other than pronouncing an opinion as fact—who was victorious.
They have, as the courts would say, no standing.
So calling these demonstrators insurrectionists is projection taken to the nth power by our contemporary “liberals” and “progressives.” (Scare quotes in this instance to prevent the continued desecration of the English language.)
And speaking of the deliberate misuse of our language, these same modern liberals are people who likely grew up praising George Orwell’s prescience in “1984” and “Animal Farm,” but are now unaware they have become true avatars of the former’s “Ministry of Truth,” all the while happily enacting roles in the latter.
They are the new fascists “sans le savoir” and are busy giving quarter to their brother and sister totalitarians around the world while claiming the greatest danger to our country are people they call “white extremists” like the misbegotten guy with the horns or the other “must-be-worse-than-a-serial-killer” goofball who had the temerity to put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.
Never mind the genuinely violent maniacs running around Portland and Seattle, damaging as much as they can of persons and property for over a year and making those once-beautiful cities virtually unlivable. No one pays attention to them, especially Democrats. No one locks them up without bail for months.
In actuality, they, the Jan. 6 accusers, the Biden administration, whoever runs it, and their ever-so-willing cohorts in what we formerly might have called the Department of Justice, are doing many things far worse for our country than those hapless clowns who entered the Capitol could even conceive.
