Put the Republican Party on Domestic Terror Watch List
Quote:Left-wing columnist Harold Meyerson has published a column at the American Prospect, a prominent liberal publication, in which he suggests that the entire Republican Party belongs on the domestic terrorism watch list because of the presence of members like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

He writes:

Go to Greene’s Twitter account and you’ll find her liking tweets that called for shooting Nancy Pelosi and executing FBI agents for their “deep state” persecutions of Donald Trump. I suppose the equivalent of that would have been Democratic members of Congress applauding the shooting of House Republican Whip Steve Scalise—except, no Democratic members of Congress did that; rather, they all expressed horror and condemnation.

But the Republicans’ indulgence of the Greenes in their ranks—and there are many such—is of a piece with their overwhelming refusal to hold Trump responsible for the insurrection at the Capitol, much less their own current colleagues, such as Arizona’s Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs, who also encouraged the January 6 rioters. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says that no government official can hold office “who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” That surely applies to Trump, but it increasingly appears that it should apply to most Republican members of Congress as well.

Similar thoughts are finding their way into opinion pieces in mainstream publications. The Washington Post, for example, recently published an op-ed titled “What the 1798 Sedition Act got right — and what it means today.” The column said that the danger of “misinformation” meant that free speech was not enough to sort out fact from fiction, and that opponents of the Sedition Act “were wrong to conclude that the truth would necessarily prevail in an open exchange of information.”

RE: Put the Republican Party on Domestic Terror Watch List
A serious all out confrontation is coming, folks. It just is. And it’s not going to last long. The left keeps pushing and pushing and pushing. The other side going to push back, really hard.

What the liberal mindset is doing to this country is shameful.
We need both parties to flourish and be on their game. They just can’t see that.

"the other side" has already pushed. Remember January 6th when they tried to overthrow the government, again?

That was hardly a push. If an overthrow was the plan and thousands of armed people showed up there would have been far more mayhem than occurred.
If you think that was the push then you are going to be badly shocked if a real one comes to fruition.

As one writer put it, it had more in common with a fraternity panty raid than a riot.

Ya'll be nice. The media told him it was an "INSURRECTION" so that's what he believes. Thinking for oneself isn't a strongsuit amongst that crowd.

One side has guns, ammo, and work ethic. The other side can't even figure out which bathroom to pee in and needs safe rooms when they get their feelings hurt.

It would be real easy for Biden to actually be for unity and discredit this talk.

But he's not.

Biden is actively trying to divide this country with his rhetoric and with his controversial EOs.
