Political Terrorism...The Calling Card of the Left
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /

"Nobody would have survived
without the Capitol Hill police...It would have been a massacre
without them."
- Senator Rand Paul who was on the ball
field when the shooting began
He ranted and raved all over Facebook
and Twitter about President Trump being a traitor and a danger to
democracy. He was hater of all things Republican including his
belonging to a group called 'Terminate
the Republican Party.' He was a die-hard
Bernie Sanders supporter and Iowa campaign volunteer who believed
Sanders was the reincarnation of FDR. He asked Florida Rep. Ron
DeSantis, who was leaving the ball field before he committed his
cowardly act, "is this a Democrat or Republican game
practice" as he needed to know he was targeting the right
people. And according to both congressional witnesses and law
enforcement, he appeared to have perpetrated a "deliberate
attack."
As if we did not know that with the
question he asked.
And by now we all are aware that at 7:10
this past Wednesday morning one James T. Hodgkinson, a 66-year old
man from Belleville, Illinois...a former home inspector with a fairly
lengthy police record that included assault, domestic violence, DUI,
aggregated discharge of a firearm...a democratic socialist and avowed
Trump-hater...traveled to Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Arington VA
with one thing and one thing alone on his mind...to kill.
And try to kill he did, spraying the
ball field with multiple gunshots seriously wounding GOP House Majority Whip
Steve Scalise (LA)...the third ranking member of House Republican
leadership...along with four others at the for-charity Congressional
baseball practice game...a bi-partisan annual tradition for over 100
years...a game that rightfully still took place last night at
Nationals Park. Scalise (who was shot in the hip and is now in
critical condition after undergoing surgery) and the others
shot...Krystal Griner and David Bailey... security members of the U.S.
Capitol Police assigned to Scalise as round-the-clock protection
because of his position...Zach Bart, a member of Texas Rep. Roger
Williams’ staff and Tyson Foods lobbyist Matt Mika...all survived
what would have been an early morning "killing field"
if Hodgkinson had not been shot and mortally wounded by Griner and
Bailey, who returned fire even while being wounded themselves.
Hodgkinson died of his wounds at the
hospital a few hours later...with his rightful death sparing 'We the
People' having our taxpayer dollars wasted on keeping this bastard
alive in a cushy jail cell for years or possibly even decades.
And as for the 25 members of Congress on the
field at the time of the shooting who were forced to run and scramble for
cover either in the dugouts or by going over the 20' tall chain link
fence surrounding the ball field,..they all gave the same chilling account of
at least 50 shots being fired within ten minutes time from what
looked like a 'long gun'...a semi-automatic assault weapon...from
behind the 3rd base dugout which afforded the shooter a clear view of
the field and everybody on it. "We were sitting ducks in that
dugout,” said Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-Fla.) “There was
blood all over the place...it seemed like it took forever to subdue
the shooter.”
But
once Hodgkinson was down Sen. Jeff Flake and Rep. Brad Wenstrup, who
is a physician, ran to help the wounded Scalise...who never lost
consciousness and had dragged himself 15 yards off the field leaving
a trail of blood...to help by applying pressure to Scalise's hip wound until
paramedics arrived to both stabilize and evacuate him to the hospital.
And
what was the response on the Hill when word of the shooting hit the
news...regular scheduled proceedings were canceled or
postponed, including votes on legislation and with many critical
hearings being delayed. The House Natural Resources Federal Lands
Subcommittee canceled a scheduled meeting to instead debate gun
legislation, while Capitol Hill Police notified congressional offices
and leaders that security presence on the Hill would be increased
"out of an abundance of caution." And President
Trump rightfully canceled an afternoon event at the Department of
Labor.
President
Trump issued this statement, "The Vice President and I
are aware of the shooting incident in Virginia and are monitoring
developments closely" and
"We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts
and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol
Police, first responders, and all others affected,"
and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan added that, "An
attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."
But
what of Bernie Sanders in whose name the attack seems to have been
carried out... a man who supports instant background checks and bans
on semi-automatic weapons, but who surprisingly voted five times
against the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. "I
am sickened by this despicable act. Let me be as clear as I can be.
Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn
this action in the strongest possible terms," were his words
as the avowed atheist added that his thoughts and prayers were with
those wounded and their families.
And these 'supposedly' comforting
words of thoughts and prayers came from the mouth of the very man who
during the presidential campaign stated that, "I want to see
real, serious debate and action on guns, but it is not going to take
place if we simply have extreme positions on both sides."
Extreme
positions on both sides...I think not as most acts of gun violence in
this country happen in 'supposed 'gun-free zones and are acts
committed by those whose allegiance is either to the Democratic party
itself or who are tied to the government teat for their very
existence. Driven ever forward by a liberal media that glorifies
violence against Republicans and especially against President Trump,
Sanders and his ilk forget that defending our Second Amendment right
to "keep and bear arms"
is a Constitutional right afforded to 'We the People' that assures we
always remain a republic, and that the Constitution must remain the
law of our land. And it will do so as long as American patriots
remain loyal to that very document.
And
while House Majority Whip Steve Scalise is the first member of Congress to
be shot since former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords was
shot in January 2011, it did not take long for liberal politicians to
start spewing their rallying cry for more gun control as well as for gun confiscation.
And first on that bandwagon was Virginia Governor Terry
McAuliffe (D) who called for more gun control immediately upon his
hearing of the Scalise shooting...called for more gun control even
before knowing the shooter's name or the facts surrounding him...even
before digesting the reality that anyone with a gun shooting members
of Congress will always be political in nature. Stating repeatedly
that "we lose 93 million Americans a day to gun
violence"...before being correcting by a reporter to the
true figure of just 93...McAuliffe relished in spewing out the
typical Democratic and liberal rhetoric that it is the 'bad' guns
that kill people not the people who pull the gun's triggers.
“Efforts to restrict the second
amendment rights of law-abiding Americans will only punish those who
play by the rules and will be ignored by criminals who break the
law.”
- wounded House Majority Whip Steve
Scalise who right after Sandy Hook spoke out when Obama considered
taking away our Second Amendment rights via executive order
But if truth be told
more gun control will never equate ro less gun violence...remember
Hodgkinson was from Illinois a state with some of the toughest gun
laws in the country...nor will it reduce crime or stop murders...for
guns are deep-rooted in criminal culture no matter what the Democrats
say. And those who abide by gun laws will continue to do so while
criminals and those intent on doing harm will always find a way to
secure a firearm, with legalities like background checks and existing
gun laws be damned. And while gun-control advocates pushed and continued to push for new and stricter federal laws on firearms in light of Sandy Hook, Orlando, and now Arlington Virginia, thankfully those efforts went then and will continue to go nowhere now for actions taken and words spewed show that the gun-control crowd do not want simple and just laws nor do they want to enforce the laws already on the books. What they really want boarders on gun confiscation if not outright confiscation itself...as in the complete disarming of the American citizenry. And why...so that they and they alone can control into whose hands firearms will be placed.
Also forgotten in the gun-control discourse is that the choosing
to do harm was, is, and will always remain an individual choice as
will said individuals weapon of choice, and is really a mental health
issue for no stable person in their right mind chooses to do harm to
others, and no sane person turns politics into an all-consuming
religion of hate.And that raises a very important question...should the mentally ill be allowed to have firearms if they are taking their medication? Current mental health laws pertaining to firearms are lax at best...as is their enforcement...so maybe the most viable solution is to across the board enforce gun laws currently on the books as written and enforce them equally for everyone.
And while at this point it is not known if shooter James T.
Hodgkinson legally got the gun he used (he did have a valid Illinois
issued firearm owner's identification card) or even exactly were he
got it, we do know that Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's words that called Wednesday's shooting "part
of a pattern" of
"increasing intensity of hostility on the left"
to be true, as it becomes even more obvious with each and every passing day
that the problem with guns is solely one of the shooter's mental
health, especially in light of the unproductive rhetoric that has
now become part and parcel of today's political discourse. 
So now as we wait and pray that
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise survives wounds far more serious
than first thought, the saddest thing of all is that this did not
have to happen if the left had not let their anger and hate-filled rhetoric
over an election lost consume their every waking moment. Steve
Scalise was their first victim, leaving one to wonder if he was but the
trial run for the left's ultimate goal...as in the elimination of
President Trump. They could not do it by the ballot box...it appears
they cannot do it via 'fake news' and Russian innuendos... so will
they will try to do it with a gun. Heaven help our country if that is their goal.
