The building cold anger throughout America
Article written by Peter Skurkiss in "The American Thinker":
America
watches while radical leftists and aggrieved blacks riot, loot, and
commit acts of violence up to murder in cities across the country. And
more galling than that is the lack of effort by responsible public
officials to stem the mayhem. Indeed, more than a few Democrat mayors
and governors, when they are not actually encouraging the riots, make
excuses for those participating in it. One example comes from New York
City where hundreds looters and rioters were arrested only to be
released in hours, due to blue-city "bail reform."
Americans have see this before and have a gut feeling that few if any
of these domestic terrorists will be punished. Other pathetic examples
are of the police and some National Guard officers ''taking a knee' in
front of protesters to show solidarity with them.
This
is not going on unnoticed by what I'll call the 'silent majority.' They
are silent because the media does not report on them. And if a reporter
did ask, most would be reluctant to share their true feelings with the
fake media, knowing what they said would be ridiculed and likely used
against them. So as with most things, the ironically called 'informed
opinion' is blind as to the pulse of America.
These
ongoing demonstrations mixed with riots are an offense against decency
and the rule of law. This has countless Americans seething. This
includes independent voters and even many of run-of-the-mill Democrats,
not all of whom are hard-core leftists. This anger is not a 'hot anger'
which leads to lashing out in aggressive and violent behavior. Rather it
is a cold anger that simmers until the opportune time for action
comes.
Cold anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it; specifically because most who carry it avoid discussion .... And that decision has nothing whatsoever to to with any form of correctness.
Adding
to the building rage is the Chinese pandemic. America watched in
silence -- silence as far as the media was concerned -- as the political
establishment hyped the effects of the Wuhan virus with fake epidemic
models and closed much of the economy, throwing millions out of work and
destroying many small businesses in the process. And to further the
insult to basic decency, the draconian shutdowns closed places of
worship while allowing liquor stores and state lotteries to remain open.
People were scolded from on high and threatened with jail if they tried
to exercise their constitutional right to free assembly. But all those
alleged concerns of stopping the virus went out the window when the
George Floyd mobs assembled. People saw this hypocrisy. It fueled their
cold anger even more because it implied that the authorities never
really believed social distancing was all that necessary in the first
place.
By
their words and deeds, the Democrats have demonstrated like never
before that they are openly hostile to law-enforcement. Some are calling
to abolish, or at the very least, to defund the police. That might be
applauded by the radical and anarchists, but it goes over like a lead
balloon in middle America and I would suspect in most minority
communities as well.
Donald
Trump is not a weakling. In the coming campaign, he will boldly
accentuate the record of Democrats making it impossible for the
Democrats and media to erase what is transpiring down the memory
hole. If the history any guide, the turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s led
to GOP presidential ascendancy. If the model holds, I believe it will
happen again now --- this cold anger will express itself on election day
with not just a Trump victory but also a Republican capture of the
House.
