The Democrats' Mob Rule In The House Of Representatives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | June 24, 2016 | Joseph Klein

Posted on 06/24/2016 3:52:49 AM PDT by Biggirl

House Democrats made complete fools of themselves with their sit-in temper tantrum this week. Shouting their demands for an immediate vote on gun control legislation – apparently their only “serious” answer to global Islamic jihad – the Democratic disrupters caused pandemonium on the House floor on Wednesday. They sought to paralyze House proceedings with shouts of “No bill, No break!” Representative Maxine Waters of California proclaimed, “I’m prepared to stand here until hell freezes over.” Civil rights hero Representative John Lewis of Georgia declared, “we have to occupy the floor of the House until there’s action.”

Could this all end up backfiring on the Dems?

Civil rights hero Representative John Lewis of Georgia declared, “we have to occupy the floor of the House until there’s action.”

The action should include arm-locks, pepper spray, and handcuffs.

My sincere hope is that it blows-up Paul Ryan.

This is on Paul Ryan. He caved to Obama on everything. For what? Did he seriously think the dems would respect him for that? This sit-in was a total rejection of his authority, an insult to him.

That he pushed back at this shows us what he would have been capable of if he hadn't traitored Constitutional Conservatives.

The only Rep. that stood up to this nonsense was the one from TX who said “radical Islam” is to blame.

The democrat should hold many, many more of these Sit ins. Maxine Waters should be placed in charge.

Thank you for stating the true value of this.

The more the Democrats do this kind of baby stuff, the more people will join the Trump wagon.

I was not a Trump supporter in the beginning, and still do not like some of his policies or actions. But I would vote for a dead yellow dog before I would vote for Hillary.

HILLARY for Prison 2016

Only if there's good video footage of them trying to stand back up after sitting hours on the floor...for social media gifs. Otherwise, the media won't embarrass them.

>>“I’m prepared to stand here until hell freezes over.”

Yet, 25 hours into their temper tantrum, they ran out of catered food and quit. Being typical democrats, they declared victory as they gave up. My MoveOn.org email said that they were bold and powerful.

We have to face facts, we cannot coexist on the same landmass with these people anymore.

It definitely cast the House Democrats in an appalling light. They proclaimed themselves to be “leading” the people and then, presumably, behaved in a way they though would resonate. If that is what they think of most people though, they have an awfully low opinion of most people.

Personally I looked at that one picture of Warren and others on the floor and thought, OMG(oodness), what have we (the voters) done?!

Kinda of an “occupy congress” movement which will not play well.

Contrary to what the media tells us, CFA will feed anyone. They don’t really discriminate.

It will backfire or else it will propel them further.

After all, the MOB is what you could call their constituents. It’s the element they cultivate to get and stay in office.

Without a mindless and demanding MOB, they would have no support. Keeping their supporters greedy and uninformed is the only way for them.

By the way, if you have ever read about the history of fascism, the ‘mob mentality’ and ‘mob’ conduct are natural and necessary markers in Fascists’ plan to subvert existing and duly elected powers, and to systematically intimidate their opposition.

Across the globe and on all occasions, no matter what the specific ideology, religious environment. economic level, no matter WHAT the culture, society, existing form of government opposition, etc..... this evolution to the ‘mob’ state is absolutely THE common denominator with EVERY fascist agenda.

Since all of the terrorists who actually committed terrorism were either registered Democrats or espoused Democratic positions and candidates, safe gun control demands that all Democrats be barred from owning firearms.
