Victor Davis Hanson: These are the actual insurrectionists


Recommended Posts

A Masterpiece:

 

 

 

Recently, Democrats have been despondent over President Joe Biden’s sinking poll numbers.... 

 

...As a result, the left now variously alleges that either in 2022, when they expect to lose the Congress, or in 2024, when they fear losing the presidency, Republicans will “destroy democracy” or stage a coup.

 

.....but who is trying to federalize election laws in national elections contrary to the spirit of the Constitution? Who wishes to repeal or circumvent the Electoral College? Who wishes to destroy the more than 180 year-old Senate filibuster, the over 150-year-old nine-justice Supreme Court, and the more than 60 year-old, 50 state union?

 

Who is attacking the founding constitutional idea of two senators per state?

 

The Constitution also clearly states that “When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.” Who slammed through the impeachment of president Donald Trump without a presiding chief justice?

 

Never had a president been either impeached twice or tried in the Senate as a private citizen. Who did both? The left further broke prior precedent by impeaching Trump without a special counsel’s report, formal hearings, witnesses, and cross-examinations.

 

Who exactly is violating federal civil rights legislation?

 

New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in December decided to ration potentially lifesaving new COVID-19 medicines, partially on the basis of race, in the name of “equity.”

 

The agency also allegedly used racial preferences to determine who would be first tested for COVID-19. Yet such racial discrimination seems in direct violation of various title clauses of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

 

In summer 2020, many local- and state-mandated quarantines and bans on public assemblies were simply ignored with impunity — if demonstrators were associated with Black Lives Matter or protesting the police.

 

Currently, the Biden administration is also flagrantly embracing the neo-Confederate idea of nullifying federal law. The administration has allowed nearly 2 million foreign nationals to enter the United States illegally across the southern border — in hopes they will soon be loyal constituents.

 

The administration has not asked illegal entrants either to be tested for or vaccinated against COVID-19. Yet all U.S. citizens in the military and employed by the federal government are threatened with dismissal if they fail to become vaccinated. Such selective exemption of lawbreaking non-U.S. citizens, but not millions of U.S. citizens, seems in conflict with the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

 

After entering the United States illegally, millions of immigrants are protected by some 550 “sanctuary city” jurisdictions. These revolutionary areas all brazenly nullify immigration law by refusing to allow federal immigration authorities to deport illegal immigrant lawbreakers.

 

Hillary Clinton hired a foreign national to concoct a dossier of dirt against her presidential opponent. She disguised her own role by projecting her efforts to use Russian sources onto Trump. She used her contacts in government and media to seed the dossier to create a national hysteria about “Russian collusion.”

 

Clinton urged Biden not to accept the 2020 result if he lost, and herself claimed Trump was not a legitimately elected president. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has violated laws governing the chain of command.

 

Some retired officers violated Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice by slandering their commander-in-chief. Others publicly were on record calling for the military to intervene to remove an elected president.

 

Some of the nation’s top officials in the FBI and intelligence committee have misled or lied under oath either to federal investigators or the U.S. Congress, again, mostly with impunity.

 

All these sustained revolutionary activities were justified as necessary to achieve the supposedly noble ends of removing Trump. The result is Third World-like jurisprudence in America aimed at rewarding friends and punishing enemies, masked by service to social justice.

 

We are in a dangerous revolutionary cycle. But the threat is not from loud, buffoonish one-day rioters on Jan. 6. Such characters did not for 120 days loot, burn, attack courthouses and police precincts, cause over 30 deaths, injure 2,000 policemen, and destroy at least $2 billion in property — all under the banner of revolutionary justice.

The most insidious part of all this has been the Left's careful focus to call the "loud buffoons" of January 6th as an attack on our "Democracy."  

 

Not the Constitution.  Not our founding principles that have paved the way for active participation in our Republic.  They don't respect any of those things.  So attack on our democracy is used and that's just just code for "an attack on an election we *won*

How stupid 

What's stupid is comparing that joke of a peaceful moron gathering to Pearl Harbor, the civil war

or the the holocaust. Your whole side is bound together by being actual insurrectionists and it's been proven

over and over again. Marxists don't care because *duh* means to an end.

This is factually completely wrong and moronic. The spirit of the constitution, "We the People" was federalized a long time ago. This is pure ignorance/sh it being fed to the cult who gobble it up unquestionably 

 

This guy needs a lesson in the Constitution because he is sure ignorant of how it works

Victor Davis Hanson needs a lesson, because he doesn't agree with Tiberius.

 

NO response by any of us could demonstrate the shallowness and floundering of the Left here on this board than Tibsy's reply has.

 

 

Thank you.

You don't think getting rid of the electoral college would be destructive to our current Republic?

Hey man, not sure it helps your cause if you call everyone who disagrees with you, part of a cult...it just makes people shut down to what you’re trying to say- even if you have good points to make...

 

Imo, issues tend to be more nuanced and overlapping, and less black and white...👍

There is no cause here. I'm not going to convert anyone. Do you think you will? We are all pretty much set in our opinions, right? And VDH is a jack ass

Oh no, that would be a good thing. It serves no good purpose at all. Let the people decide

I’ve always thought I was set in my ways...And then sometimes, I unexpectedly, change my mind in the middle of a conversation...I think we are always changing, maturing, evolving...we have to, right?

 

The key is that BOTH Right and Left have legitimate points to make...but the secret to success in a society is that it takes a balance of moderation from both...you need motivation/incentive combined with compassion- but if either side has too much influence, you start to see a deterioration of civilization...and the hard part is knowing the right amount of each in an ever evolving world...👍

Ya sure, but BS is still BS, and calling it out is a good thing, not bad. The left floats BS, too and I won’t defend that

The Constitution does indeed already Federally mandate rules, provisions and standards about elections. It's right in the Constitution. He is a blow hard 

Show us where he is wrong.

I really don't know the Constitution well enough to say either way.

No apparently you don't.  

 

You called VDH's claim that Democrats are trying to Federalize election laws trash, without evidence why not!   

 

We're still waiting for you (preferably in your own words) to tell us where in the Constitution it says elections are the Federal Government's responsibility
