If you were paying attention early 2011 you might remember the Wisconsin “Fleebaggers“. The Fleebaggers were Wisconsin Senate Democrats who lost the November 2010 election and lost control of the Wisconsin Senate. In an effort to avoid voting in the minority, the Democrats literally left the state of Wisconsin, and went to stay in hotels in Illinois, in an effort to shut down the legislative session.
The same mindset is applied today in Washington DC as national Democrats begin staging a sit-in in an effort to force House Republicans to bring up legislation on gun control measures.
The entire event is pure political nonsense. Creating optics, and manufacturing false controversy, is the type of activity Democrats are famous for. Pelosi and her team know very well how politics is “downstream from pop culture”, and a big part of their strategy is to use pop culture to manipulate politics in their favor.
If Republicans were smart they’d be ridiculing the Democrats and getting right back in their face. Unfortunately, the Vichy GOPe republicans have no inherent capability how to win an optical and narrative battle. They simply suck.
Changing that insufferable Republican dynamic is part of the reason why Donald Trump has captured the hearts of the common sense American base.
Seriously will someone get up there and read a bedtime story to their kids? At least we get goofy during a filibuster (or whatever this hideous exercise is). These guys are dull and cliche….

As a friend of mine likes to say, for the Dems, as for the NYT, every year is 1968.
Of course for some of us and our families, 1968 meant our jobs being taken away, our money being devalued, race riots, and the onset of demographic war against law-abiding, tax-paying, productive white Americans. What I remember most from 1968 is the gold stars in the windows of houses in my neighborhood. White and black families alike who didn’t have the bling to buy their kids a draft deferment for college.

It occurs to me that Ryan is not going to return. Which is exactly what we want. Paul Nehlen please tell me you are listening. See what has been dropped in your lap. Ryan showed up for 30 minutes and hit the road. Find out where he went. And make sure you contrast his behavior with what Nancy Pelosi did when the shoe was on the other foot (shut GOP down). This is a perfect example of Ryan the wimp. Gohmert was down there ready to throw down, Ryan went out for a cafe latte.

It is absolutely theatre.

The irony in the dems lil “pout out”—> their leader in this, John Lewis, is on that “watch” list.
“…Leading the way in the effort is Rep. John Lewis, who has participated in civil disobedience since the days of Martin Luther King Jr.
Several have brought up Lewis’ history with the government’s airline watch list. His name appears to have been flagged by the TSA, and he has been stopped by TSA dozens of times…”
He is actually dumb enough to think that he doesn’t personally need a firearm, of course, he does have ARMED bodyguards, because, like he says, “that’s different”, they “need protection down there [D.C.]…”

The media and the people like the ones staging the Democratic sit-in in the House of Representatives are some of the same people that declared a “war” on drugs, poverty and guns. However, they refuse to discuss the results of their “wars”. The results speak volumes about their ability to deal with major problems facing this nation. Much like the major drug companies they offer various treatments for a problem but not a cure for it. The real results are never discussed.
Chicago a Democratic stronghold, has more people killed and wounded ANNUALLY than occurred at the slaughters in San Bernardino, Orlando and Sandy Hook even though Chicago has some of the most strict gun laws in the United States. Even the number of guns stores and their location is dictated by government. However, the city recorded its 300th homicide of 2016 earlier this month and has since recorded six others over a 60-hour period that saw 59 people shot, 13 fatally, from a Friday afternoon through a Monday morning. This year, about 1,800 people have been shot across the city and more than 200 of those wounded have died of their wounds, according to the Chicago Tribune. A total of 306 people have been killed this year by shooting, stabbing or other means. How many of those people getting killed are law abiding American citizens who cannot defend themselves because of the self-serving gun laws politicians have legislated to get them reelected?
The shootings at San Bernardino, Sandy Hook and Orlando aren’t a gun control issue. The issue is a government that in the name of politically correct “tolerance” is illegally importing intolerant people. The problem is a rogue government that ignores our constitution and our laws. That rogue government is made up of the “professional career politicians” that we created. It’s time for we the people to become “professional” voters not amateur “suckers” swallowing the politically correct bait.
