The shooting of Rep Steve Scalise

The shooting of Rep Steve Scalise is a totally disgusting event that should never have occurred. Having said that, I have to say that it was totally predictable based on the extremely hateful rhetoric that the Democratic leaders spew every day. The daily flood of hateful language directed at the republicans and the total acceptance of violence and hateful behavior by the political left has provided an excuse for those people with extreme views to act on their hateful desires! In my opinion, the political left does not desire to work with the republicans in any constructive manner. Their agenda is to always demonize the republicans. They care little or not at all about accomplishing anything positive, and if given the choice of doing something that will help the American public or doing something destructive to obstruct the republicans, you can be sure that the welfare of the American public will lose. None of this is any surprise. When you have leaders in the democratic left that cannot speak two sentences about the republicans without cursing, are you really surprised when the radical left commits violent acts! What are the elected representatives’ responsibilities? Are they elected to elicit hatred and violence? I was under the impression that they were supposed to be concerned with running our government in a manner which encourages law and order and working for the public good! The radical left does not support law and order. Instead they encourage anarchy.

The ongoing vomit expelled every day by the liberal media expounding on gossip and outright lies for the express purpose of harming the Trump administration is sickening!! The hatred of the liberal media appears to even exceed the hatred emitted by the leftist politicians. There is an ongoing effort to destroy any free speech for anyone that does not support the so-called ‘liberals’ opinions. They are anything but 'liberal'! They are nothing more than fascist hoodlums using common tactics that have always been employed by anarchists who are intent on destroying the rule of law. The riots in the street initiated by the ‘left’, and the riots by the fascist-leaning college students are further evidence of the purposeful intent to destroy freedom of speech and the rule of law in our country!

In my opinion, the ongoing suggestions of assassination thinly-veiled as either ‘humor’ or grotesque performances which portray assassination as ‘art’ are nothing more than attempts to encourage ‘radicals’ to attempt assassinations! It is not free speech to advocate violence. It is not free speech to participate in violence. The unfounded accusations which are intended to defame or otherwise harm President Trump or other republicans should be classified as libelous statements, and the authors should be prosecuted with the maximum possible punishment meted out. Free speech should allow someone to freely express their opinion, but lies and unfounded accusations are not an expression of one’s opinion. An author should be legally libel for printing false, unfounded accusations which have the effect of defaming someone.
