Democrats Lie Down With Dogs – Townhall

Posted: Feb 05, 2017 12:01 AM
When I wrote my Thursday column, I worried I might have gone a little overboard with the Nazi references about the political left. Thats why I added the note about how Id written it while angry.
But events since I wrote that piece on Monday made me realize I probably had not done it enough.
There does not seem to be a bottom to the depravity of progressives. The 100 million-plus people slaughtered on the altar of various forms of their political philosophy and tactics in the last 100 years havent caused them to pause even for a second. For the agenda of an all-encompassing government, nothing else matters.
In Maryland, where I live, Gov. Larry Hogan gave the annual State of the State Address on Wednesday. Hogan has the highest approval rating of any governor in the country, which is amazing for a Republican governor in a deep-blue state.
Immediately after the speech, Democrats attacked him for not criticizing President Trump in his speechabout the state of the state of Maryland. Trump had not been president for two weeks, but Democrats were demanding Hogan condemn him anyway.
Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz, who has been unable to install air conditioners in his countys schools after years and millions of tax dollars dedicated to do it, went so far as to start an online petition attempting to pressure Hogan to attack the president.
While the not-so-bright Kamenetz attempted to force a fellow American to speak, his fellow-traveler progressives were on the other side of the country rioting to stop someone else from speaking. Did Kamenetz condemn the fascists at the University of California Berkeley? Unsurprisingly, he did not.
Does this mean Kamenetz supports Nazi tactics? Of course not, but it wouldnt surprise me considering the fact that if Gestapo-esque goons rioted in support of any or all of my political agenda, Id go hoarse condemning them. To each their own, I suppose.
But Kamenetz isnt the problem by himself; he just happens to personify what the Democratic Party across the nation has become the latest purveyors of fascism in the name of justice.
Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin (guess which party?), tweeted before the riot, Using speech to silence marginalized communities and promote bigotry is unacceptable. Hate speech isn't welcome in our community. His community then set about making sure that speech he said isnt welcome didnt happen.
Once his Brown Shirts took his words to heart and started a riot, he chimed in with, Violence and destruction is not the answer.
How else would they stop something the top politician told them is hate speech and isnt welcome?
Im not saying he incited itmostly because he wasnt alone.
The media and the Democratic Party have been building up to Berkeley since the election, and theyre still building on it now. Unlike Kamenetz, Arreguin issued a statement on the violence, mostly because he didnt have a choice. More of a CYA than anything else, he blamed everyone but himself.
Police strategy was ordered by the department, not me, he tweeted. Was he napping? How did he not know a riot was going down in his own city? And if he did, how did he not immediately order the police to put it down? Berkeley police didnt make a single arrest. The strategy appears to have been to sit by and watch it all happen: Watch things burn, property destroyed, people assaulted for disagreeing with leftist ideology.
Kamenetz and Arreguin are indicative of Democrats across the country, at every level of office theyve embraced fascism. Unlike their ground-level goon squads who employ violent fascist tactics, theyre passive fascists -- willing, and happy, to incite action with just enough distance between them and the Molotov cocktails for plausible deniability.
But that gap is closing quickly.
The American people are noticing how I abhor violence and I do not support violence are simply words, especially when those employing violence sit on the same side of the aisle as those speaking those words.
As these goons and their enablers continue to try to goosestep over those who wont fall in line at riot scenes the press calls mostly peaceful, its important to remember: If you truly are something, you dont have to tell anyone. Truly smart people dont have to tell people theyre smart; funny people dont have to tell people theyre funny. And people who oppose fascism dont have to insist they oppose fascism. And they especially dont employ fascistic tactics.
If you truly abhor violence, dont lie down with the dogs who advocate it. If you know what they do and continue to ally yourself with them, its probably because youre a dog yourself.
