WHEN A CHICAGO PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT SAYS "GUN CONTROL" THEY DO NOT MEAN GUN CONTROL FOR CRIMINALS

Once again, Chicago, Illinois, the home of crime and progressive socialist democrat corruption, is in the news…

Chicago Tribune’s crime database, shows the distribution of the 1,043 people who have been shot this year in Chicago as of June 10. Those 1,043 shooting victims depicted on the map above, they were shot by people whose fear of the consequences was insufficient to deter them from carrying a gun and using it when they felt the urge. Opening the summer shooting season in true Chicago fashion, at least 43 people were shot in the city over the Memorial Day weekend, seven of them fatally. So far in June (as of this writing), 147 people have been shot, 16 of them fatally. [OCS: As we have repeatedly said, criminals, crazies, and terrorists do not respect nor follow the law. Chicago, with some of the toughest gun restrictions in America that progressive socialist democrats can devise short of nullifying the Constitution’s Second Amendment, is arguably the best example of what corrupt progressive politicians have done to the Black community.] When a cop notices someone whose behavior suggests he’s carrying a gun – the way he walks or the way he tugs at his clothing or any of a number of indicators a good cop can recognize – the cop knows if he gets out of his car to confront the person, he may have to chase him, fight with him, maybe even shoot him, all of which will be captured on the camera he wears, the one in his car, the ones that installed throughout every neighborhood, and the ones that are carried by nearly everyone on the street in the form of a cellphone. [OCS: If you were a police officer, would you risk your life, your job, your pension, and your reputation to circumvent a low-level crime or intervene in a dispute between two armed and dangerous drug-dealing gang members.] And the cop knows that even if his actions are unambiguously legal and perfectly justified, if those actions result in an injury to the suspect they will be criticized by his superiors, politicians, the media, and of course the “community,” some of whose members believe that an armed and resisting suspect has the absolute right to an injury-free arrest, a belief that is seldom if ever countered by those same superiors, politicians, and media. [OCS: Face facts, the majority of the Black community have been indoctrinated with the progressive socialist democrats to believe that they are oppressed victims of the system and are taught to fear and hate the very police that may keep them safe. Compounded by a media assault that views every white-on-black encounter as a civil rights violation – some worthy of “peaceful protests” that end in riots and the destruction of private and public property. The community will not aid in their own self-protection and in a majority of cases will not willingly volunteer information about the crime or the perpetrator(s).] Making matters worse in Chicago is the city’s enfeebled justice system under state’s attorney Kim Foxx, she of the Jussie Smollet disappearing charges debacle. Of the 19 people arrested in Chicago for gun violations over the Memorial Day weekend, 11 were back out on the street by Tuesday. Seven of them were previously convicted felons and six had prior gun charges. [OCS: It is more than ironic that the progressive socialist democrats want to impose strict gun control laws to disarm the law-abiding gun owners, the vast majority who have never committed a criminal act or pointed their weapons at another human being; in essence creating a larger pool of potential victims for the armed to prey upon. And, yet do nothing about those who are found to be illegally carrying guns. Often allowing the ambulance-chasing lawyers to plea bargain away gun-related crimes in favor of sure conviction – the metric by which prosecutor’s raises and promotions are graded. It appears that the progressive socialist democrats want to see that tough gun-related laws are used to prosecute those who simply want to exercise their inalienable right to life and self-protection of themselves, their families, and their neighbors.] <Source>

Bottom line…

Progressive socialist democrats cannot be trusted with the security and safety of their own communities, let alone the safety and security of the United States.

Perhaps the best observation comes from a prescient George Orwell, “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves, and traitors are not victims… but accomplices.”

We are so screwed.

THE FACE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY: PURE UN-AMERICAN EVIL

It is one thing to attack a political party or politician, but to attack a now-private individual who has served their country as part of the administration is un-American and unconscionable…

Who is the organization who is behind this effort to destroy Sarah Sanders?

American Bridge is the largest research, video tracking, and rapid response organization in Democratic politics. We find what Republicans are hiding and make sure voters hear about it. In 2017, American Bridge created a new Trump War Room to keep Donald Trump and the Republican Party unpopular in order to lay the foundation for Democrats to retake power in 2018. Our research inundated Republicans with negative news stories – uncovering major scandals, keeping investigations into Trump at the top of mind for voters, and shining a harsh light on cronyism and incompetence in the Trump administration. In 2018, we were on the ground in over 30 states, around-the-clock researching, tracking, and responding in real-time. And the results showed: Our work resulted in over 50 million dollars in television coverage last cycle, and helped fuel over 50 victories in contested races up and down the ballot. In 2019 and 2020, American Bridge will be laser-focused on taking back all facets of our government. That means flipping state legislatures, protecting and expanding our majority in the House, winning governor’s mansions, taking back the Senate, and above all else, removing Donald Trump from the White House.<Source>

Who are the crap-weasels behind this scurrilous and un-American organization to denigrate and destroy the life of a now private citizen?

American Bridge 21st Century is a liberal super PAC that conducts opposition research to aid Democratic candidates and organizations. The group was founded in November 2010 by David Brock, a conservative-turned-liberal activist. After making a name for himself as a self-described “right-wing hit man,” Brock reinvented himself as a liberal crusader. In 2004, Brock founded Media Matters, a liberal website that monitors the media for “conservative misinformation.” Rodell Mollineau, a former staffer of Sen. Harry Reid, is the group’s president. Its chairwoman is Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland and the eldest child of Robert F. Kennedy.  <Source>

You cannot find a more dishonest, despicable, or corrupt political operative than the Soros-funded David Brock who has founded quite a few important-sounding and self-serving organizations to attack the Republicans and their candidates. As for Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, one need go not farther than to note she is the spawn of a corrupt family with an abundance of sexual predators, addicts, and an infamous murderer who is still lionized by the progressive socialist democrats.

Bottom line…

Perhaps American Bridge 21sr Century should lose any tax exemption that they may hold as there is something fundamentally un-American to allow tax-exempt funds to be used to target American citizens outside the realm of politics.

If something like this can be done to Sarah Sanders, it can be done to any American citizen.

We are so screwed.

HONEST QUESTIONS TO ASK THE 2020 DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES

Can you explain why all of the oppressed minorities are not swarming the Mexican border to leave this horrible land of oppression and dystopia?

Everyone wants to live like an Instagram millionaire, but not necessarily exert the time, effort, money, and sacrifice to achieve their aspirational goals in a competitive society. Or become a virtue-signaling social justice warrior without ever understanding human nature and the equities and vagaries of the human condition.

Perhaps that is the reason that social justice and socialism resonate among specific segments of the population. It reduces everything to the lowest common denominator, including individual freedoms, choice, and the need to compete -- all in exchange for allowing politicians to direct your behavior and actions "for the common good."

There is little or no doubt in my mind that the downward spiral of social justice is little more than a tornado of destruction, wreaking havoc on American exceptionalism and individualism.

Does a promise have a race, color, gender, or sexual orientation? By any objective, the answer is a resounding NO! Affirmative action, class-based preferences, and the idea that crimes against certain people should be punished differently is not only immoral but unconstitutional.

My fundamental question for today is simple…

Why should we change ourselves and societal norms to make the dysfunctional, delusional, and disaffected among us feel better about themselves and promote a mythical socialist utopia that ends in death and misery for the majority of its intended recipients?

Or, perhaps stated a little differently, why are illegal aliens rushing our border gates only to be marginalized, mocked, oppressed, and exploited, presumptively by Donald Trump and the Republicans? And, why should they be encouraged to recreate the hell-hole they are leaving instead of becoming Americans and enjoying our magnificent nation and all of the opportunity it represents?
