There Is Something Fundamentally Wrong With Democrats
2020-01-05
[Townhall] It’s odd how the political left cheers America’s shortcomings and mourns its victories.

The United States killed the top terrorist on the planet Thursday, and Democrats were...upset. Perhaps "upset" is too vague, they were a combination of angry and scared.

They were angry that President Trump ordered an air strike on Qassem Soleimani, a man responsible for the deaths of more than 600 American soldiers and thousands more wounded. They tried to pretend they were glad he was dead, that he deserved to die, but their quick condemnation of the action that took him out exposed what they were really thinking. Any statement on the death of a terrorist leader containing the word "but" is not a good statement.

Weirdly, the people who use the word "justice" most often saw no justice in the death of a man who’s been killing innocent people for their whole lives. Ilhan Omar reacted the way someone would when their childhood hero passes away, then tried to fundraise off of it because anti-Americanism translates into cash on the left.

Rashida Tlaib warned about a "lawless President recklessly moves us closer to yet another unnecessary war that puts innocent lives at risk." She expressed no concerns for the innocent lives Soleimani had taken over his career.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whined that "the President engaged in what is widely being recognized as an act of war against Iran, one that now risks the lives of millions of innocent people." The girl who saw "concentration camps" on our southern border has her head so far up where last night’s dinner resides that she can’t see the death right in front of her.

#10  They're totalitarian socialists--of course something's wrong with them.

I'm amazed that they're naive enough to trot out candidates who think that "climate change" and gender pronouns are what worries most Americans.

#9  Of course. Most Democrats are best described as anti-nationals. The few that do not hate America or the word 'nationalist', are maybe ex-servicemen or have strong family roots. Some of them are guilt-ridden maniacs and their personal shame extends to envelop the entire nation and they become America Apologetics ! But they are all committed people who want America to conform to the global standard of 'progressive democracy', which has failed its citizens consistently across the world. What's most dangerous about Dems is that they are people who believe the majority of a nation can be coerced to fall in line with their vision of what America should be. Democrats are opposed to Democracy.

#8  The left pouting about Soliemani's death is collateral damage. They just don't know it yet.

#7  At least one of The Squat is on the payroll of those Iranian Nazis. Probably Ratshita too. Maybe Occasional Cortex.

#6  A fundamental trait of socialists is competitive radicalism, always can you top this. They have run about since the election of 1940 accusing any and now every opponent of being Nazis.

Well we just killed a damned Nazi. A blood drenched ideologue who would have cheerfully watched the world burn to advance his repugnant agenda, born in the rancid bowels of the Dark Ages. THIS is your f'ing Nazi, not some guy that looks like Robert Young who said Merry Christmas to you.

#5  How many votes did Trump just win? I can see swing states flipping like crazy. Think Reagan's victory over Mondale it wasn't pretty.

#3  Suleimani was important - you're not supposed to kill important people abroad (or investigate their family's business dealings at home).

#1  Power by any means necessary. Power is self rationalizing and self justifying. They have made themselves their own god and anyone who disagrees is apostate and deserves destruction.
