Molon Labe Not Moron Labe

On November 11, 2016 Congressman Ted Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) released an open letter on Veterans Day: “How can we honor Veterans after election”, and delivered a very inconsistent message. The importance of “peaceful transition” was sandwiched between “elements of Donald Trump´s campaign were authoritarian and bigoted” and “my emotions are likely similar to many of your feelings, ranging from sadness to anger to numbness” http://www.tedlieu.com/how_can_we_honor_veterans_after_the_election .

As if all Veterans voted for Hillary… Who honors feelings of the “deplorable”? Lieu also advised that good proposals from the new Administration should be supported, but “if it is bad idea, we will fight like hell to oppose it”. Naturally the President whose statements are according to Lieu “racist, sexist, and xenophobic” will never come up with an idea good enough …

Entertainingly, the liberal Democrat who “diagnosed” Donald Trump with a mental illness and insisted on presence of a psychiatrist (Obama didn´t need one?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJjL4tiDsRA  in the White House clearly displays malignant, attention –seeking behavior. Narcissists tend to use Projective Identification to accuse others of their own vices…

Mr. Lieu announces that President Trump is a “pathological liar “while his own statements are far from the truth – both due to bias and hypocrisy; Ex-Colonel Lieu seem to be using “luv” for Veterans as a mouthwash, but his record as a senator of California (which happens to be the capital of Veteran homelessness…)tells a different story. Lieu´s legislative actions include SB 1172-Sexual Orientation Change Therapies and SB1221 –Hounding of Bears and Bobcats; not a word on “fellow Veterans”.

 In  “VA is abusing dogs” http://blog.whitecoatwa ste.org/2017/05/11/usaf-veteran-rep-ted-lieu-v-a-is-abusing-dogs/  the ex USAF is worrying about “narcoleptic Dobermans” but somehow forgets about our disabled military heroes left homeless and likely to overdose due to VA´s “opioid therapy”.

 Trump is “authoritarian” but Ted Lieu clearly shows that he is “above” the President of United States; his hateful twits prompted Breitbart News http://www.breitbart.com/california/2017/01/26/rep-ted-lieu-d-ca-court-martialed/  to ask a pertinent question : ”Should Rep. Ted Lieu Be Court-Martialed?” and his messages mention term “s**t” so many times that are quite literally –full of it.

The Liberal Democrat proudly introduces himself on social media: ”I don´t take orders from Vladimir Putin”. Who does? Donald Trump because Hillary lost, or Obama because he whispered about “flexibility”? Ted Lieu who was born in Taiwan (his original name is Liu Yunping) vigorously defended Chinese-American accused of espionage. If Donald Trump was born in Russia and defended a Belorussian accused of spying –wouldn´t liberal double standard be used as standard?

 This year, before wishing “Happy Veterans Day”, Ted Lieu once more prepared some attractions and “guidelines”. On 4^th of November the Congressman issued a “bipartisan” (15 Democrats, 1 Republican…) joint statement “with fellow Veterans” on dangers of ground invasion in North Korea https://lieu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-lieu-leads-16-veteran-member-statement-dangers-ground-invasion-north .

On November 9, Rep. Lieu offered a lame explanation on “Why I Boycotted Congress´ Moment of Silence after Texas shooting” https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/why-i-boycotted-congress-moment-silence-after-texas-shooting-ncna819161  .

In Lieu´s opinion 60 seconds of silence “results in nothing” (not even respect for the victims and their families…); his diva-style exit was to underline the importance of gun control and taking example from “other civilized countries (that) have done a far better job at reducing gun violence”. If Rep. Lieu refers to “civilized” left-reigned countries on the Old Continent such as Germany or France, their unarmed nations are exposed to continual terrorist attacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN74xQTZtNA . Only Trump´s “bigoted” V4 allies such as Slovakia, Poland, Hungary or Czech Republic are free from terrorism –both foreign and domestic…

If the Liberal Democrat Senator really wants to prevent domestic terrorism: how about stopping to stir up conflicts and not feeding hate?

Mr. Lieu has a disturbing tendency to present himself as a voice of Veterans or even of the entire nation – as if unaware that American patriots stand for Molon Labe, not for Moron Labe.
