When I was watching PDJT’s salute to America last
night, it occurred to me that people protesting the program – Demo-Dopes – were
like the humorless scum that protests Christmas or a memorial cross on the side
of the road. They are just kill joy azzbags
of the highest order.
One of those virtue signaling azzbags got a feature article
in the local fish wrap. He used his
opportunity not say the truth – flaws and all America is the greatest that
there’s ever been. Instead he whined
about the father who drowned his daughter trying to break into the
country. He misuses the words of the Declaration
of Independence to support open borders and confers the power of law on a poem
places on the Statue of Liberty. He’s an
idiot. Lex offered up this response.
RE: Shaun Brattain’s article, “Independence Day, 2019”
of July 3, 2019
First off, I don’t know why Brattain weeps and whines
about conditions on the southern border.
The whole of the Democrat Party has assured us that there is no crisis
at our border with Mexico. Are they all
liars?
Second, what is the El Salvadorian government’s
responsibility for driving its population north to escape its failed, corrupt,
socialist state?
Third, what is the Mexican government’s
responsibility in the drowning of the man and his child? The victims crossed illegally into
Mexico. Then the Mexican government
facilitated their trek north. Last, the
victims entered the river and drown on the Mexican side of the border.
Forth, what is the man’s responsibility for
recklessly endangering the life of his child? He may not have been a “bad
hombre,” but was a negligent father. If
Brattain packed up a 23 month old child, left home on foot to travel a 1,000
miles with no money, food or water - Child Protective Services would snatch
that child up and probably throw Brattain in jail.
Fifth, no one being “detained in cages” is being held
against their will. They can return to
their country of origin upon request. DHS
doesn’t normally stand in the way of illegal aliens who want to self deport.
Sixth, it’s odd that that the people weeping at the
conditions at DHS illegal alien holding facilities are the exact same people
who cheer Democrat politicians who withhold funds and protest Wayfair for
providing equipment to improve those conditions.
Seventh, a poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty
is not the law.
Eighth, Brattain’s loose understanding of the
Declaration of Independence can probably be traced to his public
education. The Declaration was written
for America, Americans and their posterity.
It is not an invitation to the population of the entire world to cross
illegally into the country.
This list could go on into the twenties or
thirties. Here’s the bottom line. Beyond using them as a political cudgel with
which to beat PDJT over the head, Brattain, like most woke Democrats who
“resist” PDJT, couldn’t care less about illegal alien migrants. If they did, they’d demand Democrats end open
borders, end sanctuary cities and change asylum laws all of which act as
magnets for illegal aliens like the drown father and daughter. At a minimum they’d demand Democrats fund DHS
at levels necessary to accommodate the tidal wave of illegal aliens that the
Democrats have encouraged.
Instead of proposing real solutions, Lefty prefers to
engage in virtue signaling stunts a la AOC weeping fake tears at a fake detention
center, or penning a virtue signaling letter claiming to have wept at the
plight of an illegal alien to prove that they just care more than you. They don’t.
The proof is that they do nothing to alieve the situation that they
created.

Independence Day, 2019
Shaun Brattain
Shaun Brattain
of Fort Wayne works for a medical device supplier.
I was recently asked by my employer what the Fourth of July
looks like to me. The context was “how patriotic does your celebration look?
Are there guns being fired? Do the A-10s flying training missions add to your
celebration? Is Toby Keith playing in the background?” Things of this nature.
It was meant to be a feel-good piece.
The company I work for does this on a regular basis, and it goes
a long way to boost morale and build a family atmosphere. I'd say I'm quite
fortunate to work for a company that makes things like this a priority.
However, this particular post didn't have the effect it normally
does for me. Earlier that morning before I came to work, I was in tears because
I woke up to an image of a young father and his 23-month-old daughter lying
face down in the Rio Grande. His only crime was seeking a better life for his
family. His only crime was seeking for his family the freedom we are all about
to celebrate.
He wasn't a “bad hombre.” He wasn't “a rapist, or a murderer.”
He wasn't a member of MS-13; in fact, he was fleeing fromMS-13.
So, I decided to frame my response not as what the Fourth of
July looks like to those who were handed freedom, but instead what the Fourth
of July looks like to those who seek freedom so desperately that they are
willing to risk everything to get it. This was my response:
Imagine waking up on the fourth of July, but you are waking up in
a cage. Imagine waking up on the fourth of July, but you are waking up in a
tent city line you've been in for weeks or months on end. Imagine waking up on
the fourth of July, but you have no clue that it's the fourth of July because
you've been walking for thousands of miles to escape violence and tyranny.
Imagine waking up on the fourth of July, and you have no clue where your
children are because they have been kidnapped from you because you crossed an
imaginary line. Then imagine how you would feel when the people who kidnapped
your children take the day off to celebrate the very freedom you were seeking
to give your family.
At some point in time, all of our families here at [insert
name of any company in America] (with the exception of a very few whose
families have always lived here, or the minority of people whose families were
brought here against their will) undertook this same journey for freedom. A
journey for the proverbial Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
You see, we have a very big problem here in “the good ol' USA.”
We seem to have forgotten the most important part of the “Life, Liberty, and
pursuit of Happiness” line from the Declaration of Independence. “We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men (humans) are created equal, that they
are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.” “Self-evident”
means these rights are so obvious that they shouldn't need to be written down
and every human has them by virtue of being human.
Therein lies the problem, ladies and gentlemen. What Americans
are currently doing at our southern border is in direct contrast to this very
line. To get around it, they look at these people as subhuman. They have to,
otherwise their Fourth of July celebration would be rife with hypocrisy (not
that that seems to be a problem with today's culture).
The discharging of firearms, war planes and getting “a boot up
your ass” mean something very different to those who seek freedom. And I find
that very ironic coming from a country that was founded by
immigrants. A country whose only real claim to greatness has been its
willingness to accept the “tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe
free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.” These are the real people who
made America great. What we are doing now in the name of freedom is nothing
short of an embarrassment.
To answer the question, what the Fourth of July looks like to me
this year is this...
