COLUMN OF THE WEEK
The real collateral damage of killing Soleimani: Democrats’
minds
Liz Harrington
For
Democrats and their allies in the media, the standard for evaluating every
situation is no longer an objective view of the facts at hand. It is, “How can
we aim the news of the day against President Trump?”
Sometimes
this is amusing. CNN “journalists” turn themselves into experts on the
proper way to feed koi. The media becomes more horrified at how the president delivers supplies to hurricane victims
than at the devastation of the hurricane itself. And important questions
become, did the White House misgender Conan, the hero combat dog?
It’s
always unhinged, but sometimes it leads to Democrats choosing our enemies over
America. It leads to Democrats blaming Iran’s killing of 176 innocent people on
the United States. This type of Democrat delusion was on full display
during last night’s debate. Each candidate backed the disastrous nuclear
agreement, with Joe Biden claiming the deal that put Iran on a pathway to a
nuclear weapon with military sites off-limits to inspectors, and gave hundreds
of billions of dollars and pallets of cash to be used by Qassem Soleimani’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, “was working.” Bernie Sanders baselessly
claimed the strike against Soleimani was “based on lies.” Does Bernie think
Iran’s attack against Saudi oil fields, shooting down our drones, attempting to
siege our embassy, and killing of Nawres Hamid, an American contractor, were
“lies,” too?
Democrats continued to remain silent as protests against the
authoritarian regime spreading throughout Iran. The only 2020 Democrats to say
anything have been Biden, who attacked our president first, and Amy Klobuchar,
who tweeted, “People should have the right to peacefully protest in any
country, including Iran.” How brave.
Nancy Pelosi can’t even bring herself to voice support for
the protesters, calling it “whatever it is.”
What
Democrats call “whatever”? Courageous Iranians risking their lives from an
authoritarian regime that kills its own people in the streets. The people of
Iran are chanting “Death to the dictator,” not “Death to America.” They
are ripping down
posters of Soleimani. Not exactly like the death of Elvis, as our media
disgustingly claimed.
The
people of Iran deserve our support. They have gotten it from Trump, whose tweet
in support of the people in Farsi quickly became the most liked Persian
tweet in history.
Yet they aren’t getting it from Democrats or the media.
This
is the same media that defended the honor of the last terrorist monster
Trump authorized killing. But they’ve outdone themselves in covering the death
of Soleimani, who was responsible for killing at least 603 Americans and
wounding countless others. The media livestreamed his funeral — a propaganda
boon to the authoritarian regime that forced Iranians to attend. They say, “Soleimani was a bad guy, but ...” as
they rationalize that a terrorist monster, who just killed an American
citizen while trying
to besiege our embassy and was in Baghdad planning more attacks, should still
be alive. Who needs (Iranian Foreign Minister) Javad Zarif when Democrats and
the media do his propaganda work for him?
Democrats
want Americans to believe it is controversial to remove a known terrorist
killer from the battlefield. Trump, in contrast, drew a red line, and unlike
his predecessor, Trump enforces them. Instead of putting Americans first, the
Democrats rushed to blame America first. The people of Iran are refusing
to trample over the American flag, while Democrats trumpet talking points from
the authoritarian Iranian regime (and vice versa).
In
the middle of an Iranian attack against U.S. troops at bases in Iraq, Pelosi
blamed America for “needless provocations.” But worst of all, when it became clear
that Iran had accidentally shot down the Ukrainian airliner with a Russian missile, killing 176
innocent people onboard, Democrats blamed Trump. They even beat Zarif to it.
Pete Buttigieg tweeted, “innocent civilians are now dead” because of an
“unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat.” Zarif later blamed it on “U.S.
adventurism.”
California
Democrat Jackie Speier blamed Iran’s actions on Trump first, before even expressing condolences
for the victims. Now the people who Iran lied to are out protesting in the
street, demanding change.
“This
is yet another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been
taken in a provocative way by the president of the United States,” Speier said.
In reality, the only collateral damage is the Democrats’ minds.

ARTICLES
“…the point of this impeachment is not to remove a president
who engaged in treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors…..It is,
instead, to remove an unusually successful president without the risk of an
election, to hamper his ability to function while in office, and to throw a
lifeline to Joe Biden's flailing candidacy.”
Ken Blackwell: Don’t Be Fooled By Liberal Dark Money
Influence “Hypocrisy in politics is
typical, but every so often it reaches a new low. Such is the case with a
recent political ad attacking dark money’s influence in politics, an ad funded
by dark money. The group Future Majority did exactly that as part of their 2018
efforts to elect Democrats to Congress. Now groups like Future Majority are
focused on denying President Trump reelection in 2020.”
Insightful article: “Black Conservatives in America” “The conversations that nationalist conservative
Americans need to have are with the men and women of color who support the
president, love this country, stand up for the First and Second Amendments,
want to reform entitlements, are offended by affirmative action and quotas,
want to stop importing welfare recipients, want to stop exporting jobs, and
have zero, zero, interest in being politically correct.”
”Virginia Democrats started this week intent on passing
legislation allowing a total ban on the ownership of AR-15s and similar guns,
but they dropped the confiscatory bill after thousands of NRA members flooded
the hallways outside state Senate offices. President Trump tweets “That’s what
happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away. Republicans
will win Virginia in 2020. Thank you Dems!”
“Social-justice ideology is turning higher education into an
engine of progressive political advocacy, according to a new report by the
National Association of Scholars. Left-wing activists, masquerading as
professors, are infiltrating traditional academic departments or creating new
ones—departments such as “Solidarity and Social Justice”—to advance their
cause. They are entering the highest rung of college administration, from which
perch they require students to take social-justice courses, such as “Native
Sexualities and Queer Discourse” or “Hip-hop Workshop,” and attend
social-justice events—such as a Reparations, Repatriation, and Redress
Symposium or a Power and Privilege Symposium—in order to graduate.”
