All About Power

Real heroes don’t pound their chest.  Those pounding their chests are probably not completely honest.   Blumenthal is a great example.  It turns out the lying Democrat’s claim about Vietnam combat duty was a lie.  That is what the liberal left does.  They lie.  Why?  Because what is best for this country, or what lies in the realm of logic or common sense, does not matter to them as much as getting their agenda in place.

What is their agenda?

Power.

Authoritarian Power.

And they are willing to dismantle any and every part of the American System to get it.

With the Kavanaugh confirmation we know that the Democrat Party has gone off the deep end.  Their opposition to Kavanaugh was meritless because it, like everything else they do, was all about obtaining power, and not losing the power they have, or had.  All of their moves are about moving towards a one party system where nobody is allowed to oppose them.  They were not asking Kavanaugh about his judicial experience because they know what he’s all about.  He believes in the Constitution, and that document is an obstacle to their big government schemes.  They want more government bureaucracy, and like Donald J. Trump, Kavanaugh poses as a threat to that power grab.

With Kavanaugh, the American principle of due process went out the window.  A presumption of innocence, when it suits the Democrats, does not matter.  In relation to Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, they now believe in guilt by accusation.  Sure, the Democrats have always done this, but now they are desperate.  They had ultimate power in their grasp with their 16-year plan.  Obama was the opener, and Hillary was supposed to be the closer.  It was in their grasp.  The final puzzle piece was about to be slammed into place, and then a non-political, non-party businessman grabbed the White House from them, and they are in a panic.  They see their power slipping through their fingers, and they are desperate to stop the bleeding.

By any measure, Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony was outstanding.

Kavanaugh was unaffected by the attacks, it seemed.  He showcased his understanding of the rule of law, the Constitution, and as much as it pains me to say as a constitutionalist, case law and legal precedent.  He proclaimed his belief in judicial independence, the reality that judges are supposed to be apolitical, and his unwavering fidelity to the U.S. Constitution.

Straightforward, patient, and articulate.

He weathered the outbursts and interruptions.

Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, the liberal lefties are criticizing the process, slamming the American System, and questioning the mechanisms that make us a republic (rather than a democracy).

They said they didn’t have enough time to review all of his records.  They demanded an FBI investigation multiple times.  They argued that his paper trail was not transparent enough, even though they received everything, and there was more paperwork regarding Kavanaugh than all of the paperwork regarding all of the nominees that had been produced in my lifetime.  They are angry.  Kavanaugh is not their kind of guy.  They hate him because he has exceptional legal skills, he’s a thorough individual, independent, and he has unimpeachable character.  Kavanaugh is among the most qualified and prepared candidates we’ve seen in a very long time.

But, for the liberal left, none of that matters.  Kavanaugh, like Trump and the U.S. Constitution, serves as an obstacle to their authoritarian aims, and they are willing to lash out violently to stop him.

Now that he is confirmed, understand that the fight is not over.  It has just begun.  And to be honest, I believe it’s going to get worse … which is a good thing.

The Democrats have energized Republican voters in the 2018 Mid-Term Elections, and they are turning people away from their party.  People don’t like violent thuggery, or a political party that places their lust for power above individuals or the principles that our American System was constructed upon.  They have shot themselves in the foot, and have literally handed the Mid-Terms to the Republican Party, and President Donald J. Trump.

In their desperation of tightening their fists to regain control they let the election slip through their fingers.
