Dave Daubenmire: 'Ain't it bout time somebody done something?'
2020-09-11
[News with Views] Years ago, here in the Columbus, Ohio area there was a radio personality who often went on a verbal tirade and at the end of it he always lamented:

"Ain’t It Bout Time Somebody Done Something?"

I have been thinking about him a lot lately as it appears to be more likely everyday that no one is going to do anything about the machinations of the Deep State. As I hunt and peck on my computer today, we are 54 days away from the 2020 election and not one member of the Deep State has been brought to justice.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it is past time for some perp walks? With all the talk about the investigations that were going on behind the scenes many Americans were excited about the prospect of some high-ranking, very recognizable dignitaries making some very public perp walks. It is looking less likely every day. To this day, Benedict Arnold is famous because of his crimes. How can anyone ever have any confidence in our Federal institutions if no one heads to the gallows?

Literally...to the gallows. Some Deep State officials should forfeit their lives for the crap they have pulled over the past several years. The swamp is deep, and although the corruption did not all the sudden begin recently, the exposing of the corruption has never been more publicly visible.

You do remember the idea of pitchforks and torches, don’t you? The idea of vigilante justice that occurred when those whose job it was to keep things honest failed to do their jobs? The good ole boys in town would round up a citizen’s posse and go make sure some of the varmint’s in government were held accountable for their malfeasance in office. "We the People" often required an angry mob to re-establish justice.

Are we there yet, or are we just too dignified for that today? What are we to do when the corruption in government is so deep that there is no longer any real justice? Currently, we have a legal system, but not a justice system. How long will we wait for corrupt government officials to prosecute their corrupt government buddies? Like pond scum, the swamp creatures cover for each other.

Treason has occurred under our watch. Real treason, from domestic enemies within our own government. Domestic enemies are more dangerous than foreign ones because they look so much like the people they claim to be working against. Domestic treason is still punishable by death.

I did some research I would like to share with you. These are actual Federal codes designed to keep our politicians honest. Read through some of these and see if you think that there are some Donkeys and Elephants who are guilty of violating them. Consider also, those domestic terrorists in the streets in Portland and other cities who are intent on overthrowing America. The Law can be found here.

#9  Sometimes I think its time for some lamp-post decorating.
Not quite to the point of advocating it... but if certain people started decorating lampposts I wouldn't object too strongly.

#8  Our country began its current nose-dive when we stopped hanging congresscritters for corruption. The ONLY way we'll return to those "good old days" is to get back to it. Unfortunately, the longer it takes, the more likely it will require blood in the streets -- by the hogshead.

#7  Did you think the Deep State denizens, with all their power, would be so easy to defeat?

#6  This whole thing is beyond frustration. One could find a growing number of American citizens who would help with the cause of justice. The tree of liberty needs watering every now and then.

#5  The longer the "investigations" drag on with nothing happening (no formal indictments or perp walks), the less chance that anything will ever happen.

The Clinton 'home brew' servers and mishandling of thousands of classified documents is yet another example of 'running the clock out' by our multi-tiered justice system.

"Ain't It Bout Time Somebody Done Something"...sorry we passed the mile marker a couple of years ago.

I remember reading that one of the things that doomed the Weimar Republic was it's Deep State. Most of the bureaucrats were holdovers from the old regime under the Kaiser and were quietly (and not so quietly at times) contemptuous of the new adventure into parliamentary democracy. They were a subversive element that was not necessarily pro-Nazi, or pro-Socialist (they largely hated them!), but certainly were termites that hollowed out the supports of democracy.

This behavior should have been spotted and the rot excised there. It should be rooted out here and now in our republic.

It's not just you.

This was a coup. Take back our country. Starting on Nov. 3.
