The
Left’s Mid-Term Election Hypocrisy
While the term “Blue Wave” was on every newscaster’s
and Liberal pundit’s lips leading up to the mid-term election earlier this
month, the reality was far from a wave, perhaps more of a splash.
For a year now, Democrats have been
blasting Republicans and Conservatives by calling them, "deplorables"
(by Hillary Clinton), "dregs of society" (by Joe Biden), Nazis (by
Nancy Pelosi) and racists, bigots, Islamophobes, sexists, xenophobes and
homophobes and more by almost all of them. Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters
has openly called for the public harassment of Republicans at restaurants,
stores, parking lots or any place they might be encountered. She believes, as
do many other Democrats, that Republicans are true enemies of state and she
wants them treated as such. Some such encounters have already happened due to
her incitement.
And that Blue Wave that was supposed to
be an affirmation that millions of Americans believed that way also, just
didn't happen.
Democrats won 20 seats in the House. Not really much of a wave. In
the 2010 midterms, Republicans took 63 seats. That could be considered a wave
next to the Blue ripple we recently saw.
American voters have shown that the
Left’s falsehoods and misleading tactics are not to be believed or validated
and their attacks upon President Trump, Republicans and Conservatives, say more
about them than it does about those they attack.
Among some of their victories that they
took great stock in were: Ayanna Pressley became the first Black congresswoman
from Massachusetts. Jarod Polis won the governorship in Colorado making him the
first openly Gay governor in the United States. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became
the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar
became the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
All these are legitimate victories in
their own right. But you may notice they were all Democrats. Liberals are quick
to applaud victory by a woman, Muslim, Gay, Transgender, Black, overt
Socialist, or almost any other category of individual who wears a label they
endorse. They call for more “women of color” to be elected as evidence of a
great progressive move forward. But in their minds, some things simply cross
the line of acceptable tolerance.
Strangely absent from all the accolades
was Young Kim, who became the first Korean-American woman to be elected in
Congress. Why the omission? Simple, she happens to be a Republican. It matters
little that she was a “first” or for that matter a woman. They feel being a
Republican nullifies all of that.
During the election cycle of Barack
Obama, anyone who did not vote for him, no matter the reason, was labeled a
racist. It was par for the course. People who did not vote for Hillary Clinton
in 2016 were labeled sexist, even though there may have been a hundred reasons
not to vote for her, and her sex had nothing to do with any of them.
But when it comes to Republicans, it
matters little if you are a woman, even though they clamor for more women in
politics. You’ll be ridiculed and smeared, as was Sarah Palin in 2016. It
matters little if you are Black if you are Republican. You’ll be labeled an
“Uncle Tom, a “sell out” or traitor to their race. After all, Democrat votes
for Ben Carson or Herman Cain were hard to come because being Black in their
cases suddenly didn’t advance the prejudice of their narrative.
So, what happens now that the Democrats
will resume some power in January? Will they, as Hillary Clinton promised,
bring civility back to politics? Don’t count on it. Power only feeds their
aggression and Nancy Pelosi has already vowed to heighten the search for more
evidence to impeach President Trump with, ever being the obstructionist, she
and her party members have proudly become.
We can only hope they will not continue
the nonsense they have become known for, and will cease the attacks on the
other side of the aisle in favor of working for America. Perhaps they’ll stop
trying to prove that Hillary’s loss was due to then-candidate Donald Trump’s
corruption efforts or collusion with Russia. Perhaps they will even remember
they are Americans and do something positive like, you know, their job of
working FOR America. That would be a refreshing change. Oh well, hope springs
eternal.
