Anti-Trump forces threaten lawmakers' lives in name of #Resistance
Thr Washington Times ^ | 24 May 2018 | James Varney

Posted on 05/29/2018 3:32:20 AM PDT by Magnatron

Political conversations have grown increasingly nasty in recent years, and it may be spawning something even worse: a growing number of people taking their vitriol to another level by threatening members of Congress.

In the past couple of months, the Justice Department announced action in four cases involving people who threatened serious harm, or even death, to federal lawmakers.

Most of those threats were made online, reflecting just one way people can convey their most vulgar feelings toward those on other sides of public policy disputes.

Most of the targets have been Republican lawmakers, who are in the crosshairs of anti-Trump forces who relish their stance as a self-styled #Resistance.

What exactly is the #Resistance “movement” resisting? The usual projection of racism, fascism, etc. that they imagine everyone they don’t like exemplifies. Do you want to know the direction which madness lies? Liberalism.

Yes, Barry, you’ve left behind such a country-unifying legacy, of which you’re obviously proud.

The left would kill every single one of us and our families if they knew they could get away with it.

Well, this might not seem to be directly related, but it is. Start pumping out the bumper stickers. Let’s go!

Sounds like Terrorist threats to me of a Federal elected official.

I used to believe that also, except that the left craves domination over those who would not bow to them. The Gaystapo is a perfect example. It’s a sick sexual fetish with them.

If they killed us all, who would they oppress?

I know, right? All of this division lays at the feet of obama and his liberal ilk. All of it. My gawd, it’s like they forget the words of division he used during his reign of terror.

Then again, like all good marxists, up is down and left is right. Look reality square in the eye, deny it exists and name it the opposite of what it is.

Insanity

The community organizer is a political agitator. He does not care if his useful idiots spend the rest of their stupid lives in jail or if they are dead at the hands of the police.

Their objective is to bring on the revolution and the destruction of the US.

There are more subtle traps of the left. In a weak moment last night I saw an on line petition about Free Tommy Robinson. What the English court is doing is insane. And they have managed to get a lot of it scrubbed from the web. It appears even here on FR. I and some others posted a copy of the order banning public discussion of the incident. When I looked for it last night, they are gone. And I had made a note of the .pdf ‘s URL and determined it was still there and still viewable.

Last night I stumbled into a site asking for people to sign a petition to Free Tommy. It was on a site named “change .org” (intentionally made not valid URL) I commented that I would like to sign the petition but refuse to have anything to do with that website. Within a few minutes I got a polite response wanting to know why, that he did not know of an issue. When I looked at this posts they looked very similar to my own and his follows and following looked the same too. When I tried to put my name on the petition, I got error messages.

I sent the guy, who said he was in the DFW area, a copy of the error message and he resent the link. It still did not work. (This PC is set pretty tight on security and does not share GPS or any data that I can turn off.) So I went to my cell phone (which does not share GPS either) and it worked. They asked for my first and last name and my email address, which I reluctantly gave them. I added my name to the petition, then they put a string of other petitions in series one by one. I skipped all but 3 more of the 10-12 that were there and finally it said the petition signature was added. And of course then they asked for small donation. Headshake.

My memory tells me that there was an Obamanation group called Change .org. Today I feel like I did something really stupid. I looked back at the person’s profile that I received the message from and it looked fine, BUT when I looked again? I only found 2 people that I follow, that were following him. So is it an entrapment site to target active conservatives? I now suspect that it might be.

You cannot simply follow anyone who “says” they are conservative. If you do that on Twitter or Facebook (I don’t do facebook at all) it is a mistake.

It would be nice if we could take our collective data of those who we have blocked for a reason and compile a list of the noise or trouble makers. My list is huge, 10’s of thousands of them.

Life in the Wilderness of Mirrors. Heashake.

If they want a shooting war… let me tell them that one side is prepared and it ain’t them.

Good work! I should mention window decals, too, which might be more useful for many.

President Reagan used to carry a Walther PPK (the same gun as James Bond) in a holster, or a .38 revolver either holstered or in his briefcase while in office. I hope today’s patriotic elected leaders do the same. The fascist sissies need to be met with lead if they come after decent people.

I had to really dig to find comments of people who shared my concern for the petition site. This looks credible.

https://www.change.org/p/remove-old-and-fake-petitions-to-keep-change-org-safe

I will not use that again.

Thank you for the heads-up on the petition site. That’s worth checking out.

They aren’t “resisting” anything. “Resist” is an invented buzzword they use to make it look and feel like they are the “good” guys. What they are really seeking is what leftists have always sought. The destruction and dismantlement of Western Civilization. To do that, they must first smash the power of those who represent it. What they are really doing is attacking, ripping, and slashing wherever they can.
