Democrats Have the Country on a Slippery Slope

- The fake “whistleblower’s name—
Eric Ciamerella—has been known for a long time,
but not officially. Now it is official. Senator
Rand Paul has officially released his name.
Funny, isn’t it, that
only the
Republicans want Ciamerella to testify.
The Democrats won’t hear of it.
If the
American people are paying attention, the
Democrats are in trouble. When Russiagate
fizzled out on them, Adam Schiff (D,CA)
orchestrated a fake “whistleblower” who the
Democrats cannot risk putting on the stand to
testify. The Democrats’ focus shifted to sleazy
State Department types who could offer nothing
but second or third hand hearsay followed by a
hearsay second telephone call that cannot be
confirmed.
Why are
the Democrats out on a limb like this? They can
rely on the presstitutes to cover up for them in
every respect and to continue to repeat
endlessly without any verification their charges
against Trump, but after going through the hoax
of Russiagate are the American people stupid
enough to fall for the replacement hoax?
Some
analysts believe that the House Democrats are
using the so-called impeachment not to produce
any evidence, as they have none, but to gin up
hatred of Trump especially among the youth who
are known to want to be included in whatever is
cool. The Democrats’ project is to make hating
Trump cool and to convince young people to base
their vote on being cool and hating Trump.
I
recently asked where are Attorney General Barr’s
indictments of Obama regime officials for the
attempted Russiagate coup against Trump. Some
Republicans explained that Barr is waiting until
closer to the election in order to get maximum
impact on the voting public. If so, this is a
mistake. The longer Barr waits, the longer the
presstitutes and Democrats have to discredit the
indictments in advance as Trump’s effort to
produce a countervailing news story. The longer
Barr waits, the more of Trump’s presidency is
given up to the impeachment circus. The longer
Barr waits, the longer Republicans have to
become demoralized by the complete absence of
integrity among the American media and House
Democrats. It is really very disgusting for
anyone not caught up in the emotion of hating
Trump at all costs. Honest people with integrity
don’t want to be associated with such dirty
business.

There
actually are a lot of Americans who have been
conditioned to hate Trump so completely that
they would accept his removal by a coup. They
are so emotional that they are unable to think
about the consequences for democracy of a coup.
This is the slippery slope the Romans went down.
Once an emperor was removed by a coup, every
emperor could be, and often was, removed by a
coup. The subsequent internal disorder
contributed greatly to the fall of Rome.
There
are many issues on which Democrats could
legitimately challenge Trump in the forthcoming
presidential election that would resonate with
many honest Americans. Democrats could challenge
Trump for the coup against Bolivian President
Morales. They could challenge Trump for
dismantaling environmental protections and for
permitting mining and energy companies to loot
national monuments and wildlife refuges. They
could challenge Trump for persecuting Julian
Assange for practicing traditional journalism.
They could challenge Trump for serving Israeli
instead of American foreign policy interests.
These and other issues would make a real
campaign, one worthy of a democracy. Instead, we
get hoax scandals.
What
this tells us is that there is not enough
integrity in the Democratic Party and American
media for democracy to survive. When the
political process consists of nothing but lies
and hatred, democracy is not possible. Why are
the House Democrats and the American media
destroying democracy?
