The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

americanthinker.com - The bullets follow the bullhorns democrats own the assaults on ice

It was here, just south of Fort Worth, that ten heavily armed left-wing militants launched a highly coordinated attack on law enforcement outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Center.
...
These are the inevitable consequences of a political movement that has spent the better part of a decade demonizing the very people sworn to enforce our immigration laws.

What was once violence on the fringe of political debate has been normalized by one of America's two main political parties.

Key word: Normalized. The problem is, this isn't new for them.

Is there a greater danger to a constitutional republic than an armed phalanx of nihilists, activated by the words of the leaders of the minority party, attempting to maim and kill government officials?

For all their sanctimony about “protecting democracy” and “upholding the rule of law,” today’s Democrats have built a movement that selectively nullifies both. When they’re in power, they ignore the law, declining to enforce statutes they dislike, gutting immigration courts, and instructing executive agencies to slow-walk deportations.

When out of power, they attempt to nullify the exercise of executive power through venue shopping, nationwide injunctions, institutional sabotage, and now, through ideological violence.

It’s the same pattern every time:

If voters elect someone they oppose, they launch impeachment proceedings or shop for a judge to block authority.

If ICE agents do their jobs, they are branded as racists.

If a president uses Article II powers to enforce the border, they call it fascism.

It’s nullification by any means necessary—ballots, bench, or bullets. The difference between the Democrat party and the Jacobins is increasingly that of wardrobe and weaponry.

The Democrats have spent years stoking this fire. They wrap their bombast in the language of compassion—but it’s calculated sabotage, and they know it.
