I don’t like the Pauls
By Patrick Van Roy On February 1st, 2021 at 2:46 pmBut like a broken clock they tend to be right on occasion, this is one of those twice a day moments.
Friday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle” to criticize the National Guard presence on Capitol Hill, which he likened to what one might see at a “major army base.”
The Kentucky Republican said the sooner the fencing was taken down from the Capitol grounds, the better.
“[I] mean, when you look at the Army encampment that we have now, it really looks like a major army base there,” he said. “There are still 5,000 troops this huge perimeter with razor wire. This isn’t really a great image for a free country or for our country. So, I say the sooner it’s torn down, the better. Who’s making these decisions, I guess, they’re unilaterally being made by Nancy Pelosi, maybe Chuck Schumer. But I think also Democrats need to look in the mirror a little bit. They very quickly assumed that the enemy within is Republicans, and they’re potentially violent. But nobody really looks in the mirror for the Democrats. They’re not really very self-aware.”
“Kamala Harris said contribute to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail out some of these protesters,” Paul continued. “Well, one of the protesters that they bailed out soon as he got out, cracked someone’s skull, fractured someone’s skull, and caused a brain injury. And that was because Kamala Harris, not specifically her on that issue, but she was encouraging the bailing out of these violent protesters. But no one’s called for her impeachment. No one’s saying that she should be held responsible for her speech. Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, they say get up in your face. They say mob them. So, it seems to be sort of a double standard that the enemy within only these Republicans apparently, and none of the things that Democrats say seem to be of concern to them.”

There is another POINT that needs to be talked about with this show of force.
As our Capital looks like the Capital of any Dictators, Barbed Wire and Gun Emplacements, it has proven something beyond a doubt. We can use the National Guard to seize control of the streets of a major metropolitan city without any problem or civil rights violations.
There has been Zero crime in the area of Washington DC where the troops are. They have brought crime to a halt.
As cities like Portland continue to burn with Anarchy, and Cities like Chicago suffer from 700 murders, and 4000 shootings a year, gas station owners have had to hire their own Security to protect customers from car jackers, think of what 4 weeks of peace to the citizens of those cities would feel like to them.
There is no threat to DC, crazed Qanon rightwing loonies aren’t coming to storm the capital. No one is, no one ever was, but we have this farce playing out this theater act for the Nation with DC as it’s stage and our threatened fearless leaders are working under siege, a siege caused by the Enemy within……
Stop the Farce in D.C., send the National Guard to Chicago and Portland where the Citizens are under Siege from lunatic Democrats.
