The Left’s Call to Arms

AMAC Exclusive – By Tammy Bruce

When I was a “community organizer” for the left, there were a few times when I and others would bring up concerns about the lunatic fringe (speaking of the disturbed on our “side”). Various leadership would dismiss our concerns in a coy way. The grassroots activists were told nothing could (or should) be done about people who felt “passionately“ about the issues. Inevitably, there would be an implied wink and nod at the end of that discussion.

Now, in the midst of the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it’s apparent the left’s desire for political violence has not waned but metastasized, controlling the Democratic Party through their leftist leadership.

The rhetoric smearing Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing was so outrageous and vile that it set a tone and made the intentions of the Democratic Party clear. The attempt to utterly destroy a decent man because of politics was so egregious it was an invitation to anyone even slightly disturbed to take action against him.

Remarks from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in 2020 on the steps of the Supreme Court continued what can only be described as an incitement to violence. As he addressed an abortion rights rally, the top Senate Democrat said: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

The shocking reaction by Democratic leadership to the leaked Supreme Court draft decision in the Dobbs case also makes it clear the desire for violence has moved from a wink and a nod to outright encouragement by many on the left, including various Democratic politicians. Lori Lightfoot, the Democrat mayor of Chicago, tweeted this about the leaked draft opinion: “To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.” That outrageous lie attempting to incite as many people as possible remains posted, and she’s not alone. A number of leading Democrats tweeted or made inflammatory statements meant to gin up as much anger and hysteria as possible and then sent out fundraising letters.

As we now know, someone did answer Lightfoot’s “call to arms,” envisioning himself as Schumer’s “whirlwind.” Nicholas Roske traveled from California to, as he told authorities, “give his life meaning” by killing Kavanaugh. The Los Angeles Times reported, “Police found a black tactical vest, a knife, a Glock 17 pistol with two magazines and ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crowbar, pistol light, duct tape, hiking boots and other items in his backpack and suitcase.” According to the police affidavit, Roske plotted to kill Kavanaugh because of his concern that gun laws would be loosened and Roe vs. Wade would be overturned.

The Democrats and everyone on the left know how deadly their rhetoric can be. Just 3 years earlier, Representative Steve Scalise and other House Republicans were practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game when a supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders opened fire, grievously injuring Scalise and two others. His motive was so clear, even CNN couldn’t soft-peddle it:

“James T. Hodgkinson… defined himself publicly by his firm support of Bernie Sanders’ progressive politics – and his hatred of conservatives and President Donald Trump,” the cable news outlet reported. “…‘Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.’ he posted on his personal Facebook page on March 22. ‘Republicans are the Taliban of the USA,’ he posted in February.”

That horrific event has been pushed so far down the memory hole that Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier, a woman who serves in Congress alongside Scalise, said this on the House floor as she called for gun reform just this week: “I believe I’m the only member of this House that is a victim of gun violence. My body is riddled with bullets.”

An aide to Rep. Leo Ryan, Speier was part of the team in 1978 that went to investigate abuse allegations at Jonestown in Guyana run by cult-leader Jim Jones. As they were at a jungle airstrip preparing to leave, Ryan and four others were shot to death during an ambush. Speier, 28 at the time, was among the wounded. It is perplexing how anyone, especially her, could forget that Scalise was also riddled with bullets just four years ago during a crime of political violence. At the very least, it highlights how that attempted mass murder has been literally forgotten.

Meanwhile, after the attempted murder of Kavanaugh, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter why a bill providing security for the justices had been blocked in the House. Pelosi dismissively and smugly declared, “Nobody is in danger over the weekend because of our not having a bill…”

What are we to think? Even after an attempted murder, Pelosi and the Democrats seem not to care. Or could it be, horribly, confirmation that things are moving along exactly as the Democrats want them to?

FASCIST liberals have NO Principles, Decency, or Brains for that matter.
Why would DICTATOR Beijing biden say he would put his opponents in Prison if he’s not a DICTATOR? ONLY A DICTATOR WOULD MAKE A REMARK LIKE THAT.
Imagine if PRESIDENT TRUMP said that. They’d IMPEACH him for saying such a thing. So WHY isn’t SWAMP QUEEN pelosi IMPEACHING DICTATOR Beijing biden for his remark yet alone for ALL the ACTS of TREASON since January 20, 2021?
WHY isn’t SWAMP QUEEN pelosi IMPEACHING DICTATOR Beijing biden for Afghanistan, 13 U.S. MARINES KILLED, MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIEN TERRORIST Coming Across Border EVERYDAY WITH DIRTY BOMBS COMING INTO USA WITH DISEASES, VIRUSES, MEASLES, CHINA VIRUS INFECTED, CRIMINALS of EVERY SORT THREATENING AMERICANS and OUR CHILDREN LIVES EVERY DAY?
WHY ISN’T SWAMP QUEEN pelosi IMPEACHING DICTATOR Beijing biden?

This really does not address the entire message but — Spieirs do you not remember that you were on foreign soil that had NO gun laws and the only people who had guns were the cartels and the deranged lunatics. If people in the envoy had guns the outcome would have been different. Picture yourself at home with family and had no weapons for defense and a lunatic breaks in with a gun (they can get them from black market) what would you do?

Well, that’s the pot calling the kettle black. Nancy Pelosi “IS” the lunatic fringe. I realize she speaks from experience. However, she is the problem and should not be pointing fingers at others. This is a failed government at it’s finest.

I seriously hope that the left (pelosi, et. al.) are not stupid enough to push conservative American taxpayers to violence. LEO’s, military, (army, national guard, etc.) will do as they’re told. . .up to a point. After that, they know full well who the enemy really is and the targets shift. In Vietnam, incompetent American ‘leaders’ were shot to avoid more American casualties. Politicians had better take a long, hard look at their constituents and how loyal they really are. I would seriously not want to be a politicians right now. Laser sights are extremely accurate these days. . .and, they’d better be really careful where they go and when. Better to arrive un-announced for photo-ops and leave fast.

She’s been taking lessons from Biden. His entire career was based on lies–lies told publicly during campaigns and in congress. Lies that apparently the voters of Delaware did not object to, as they elected him again and again.

I’m just tried of all the yelling the left does at any republican because they cannot calmly state their case. It’s obvious they can’t defend their position so they yell like bad mannered children. I didn’t tolerate that kind of crap from my own children so I certainly have no patience for these politicians. They control all levels of government and are turning us into a third world country with a dictatorship,so they can imprison anyone who disagrees with them. They are doing now, openingly. Laws don’t apply to the leftist, only normal law abiding citizens have something to worry about. I just want them to name 1 thing the left has done to improve this country. Yep, crickets! Nothing! and they have ruined all the great things Trump did for this country.
My fear is that November maybe too far away for us to make a difference, and turn things around. We need what few republicans in the House and Senate to take action now. Biden is not fit to be President, neither is Kamala, Pelosi should be impeached, and Fauci tried for crimes against Humanity.

There’s a tipping point approaching, don’t know what or when only that it’ll be Obvious in hindsight. The left run cities collapse, overrun suburbs (who are unarmed mostly). Then fan out into rural = OUR TURF. The left is CLUELESS what Will happen then. P.S. “Just remember to bring a generous supply of body bags” Then again, most mid+size farmers have end loaders…

I am so tired of the words we use and not the actions we should be doing. Jan 6th people are on trial right NOW. Pres. Trump was on trial almost his whole term in office. Republicans just talk and talk somewhat like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burnt deliberately to the ground.
Democrats tried to reset the USA with the phony pandemic. It didn’t work. Now a call to arms by Pelosi to fight about the abortion issues or take away our guns. That might work. Without guns in the hands of good people, evil will reset the World. Listen to the speeches at the Davos Meetings with Claus Schwab, Bill Gates, Soros & our other climate change guru, Kerry.
We have a congress that should be taking care of our country, sending out messages of war & call to arms is TREASON.

The democrats have been following the Marxist playbook for the last 50 years. They have taken over education, the media and the dept of justice. They are the deep state and play by their own set of rules. The FBI has become their Gestapo, their KGB. The prime time 1/6/22 hearings are a one sided production, nothing more than spectacular propaganda presented by the MSM who they control. A well timed diversion to distract attention from the problems of inflation, open borders and increased crime, much like the games of ancient Rome. If they are not stopped we face the same fate as the Roman empire.

Plain and simple, violence from either “side” is not to be tolerated. Jan 6 was a travesty, the peaceful transfer of power is of critical importance to the existence of our way of life. Likewise, the rioting, looting and burning that was allowed to occur in Kenosha, Portland and others makes one wonder if there is anywhere remaining in this country that can be considered to be a safe place to live and work. Now Pelosi and company turn a blind eye toward the threats and harassment of our churches, our Supreme Court justices and other law-abiding citizens. Those who condone and encourage this misbehavior should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The prime time about January 6 is a joke
Why? Because they are saying that the poor police were attacked with out mercy —-it is Pelozi’s for having deny to put all the police and nacional guard to protect the capital .
People did not breach the Capitol—-people were led in the Capital by the capital police.
This was plan by the democrats.
What they are saying that republicans were trying to overthrow the government is a lie.
Democrats overthrow an election.
At the time the republicans were going to the right process that the constitution give us to contest a peaceful election in that very moment that the process was going through the people were allowed in the Capital by the capital police.
All the prime time January 6 is a show to cover their crime the same way they were covering their crime by saying that President TRUM colluded with Russia when it was Hillary Clinton making up a dizzier to acuses President Trump of colluding when it was them making a lie.

Hey America, look at this latest shiny object (the completely one-sided Jan 6th farcical Committee) as the dim-witted Dems continue to destroy the country and take away American freedoms one liberty at a time. The Dems will continue to try to ruin their great nemesis, Donald J. Trump, the president whose policies worked for EVERY American. They cannot have that if they want to rule by iron fist. They need to destroy him and his America first messaging to insure he never raises his liberty loving, patriotic voice again. The Marxist Dems cannot allow him to awaken the foolish masses of generally stupid voters who apparently know nothing about tyranny’s global history. The Dems will keep the utter comedic grand January 6th show going as they relentlessly target Christianity, unborn black children, your right to protect yourself, your right to speak freely, your kids’ curriculum, your property rights, your finances, etc….etc….etc…..Anytime the Dems, or their “lame-stream” media cohorts open their pie holes, you can bet they are lying to you, either by omission or flat out falsehoods. .

The Left has been at war with conservatives and anyone who disagrees with them for a long time. When they deploy their hate-filled words, they have become accustomed to getting by with it because authorities don’t treat their rhetoric the same as rhetoric from the Center and Right. Two different Justice systems existing in this nation for a long time has led us to the point where we are now: SCOTUS Justices being threatened in their own homes. At some point, the GOP in DC must take a fully hard stand against them (I.e. no negotiations on new gun control like the RINOS are doing now, plus many, many other examples) and stay United against their efforts to infringe on our constitutional rights. The GOP shouldn’t even allow any business to be done in Congress until the Commies back down. Instead, time and time again, RiNOS make concessions and try to make things collegial, implying that the Communists are only ideological ‘opponents’ , all while the Left considers them and us as pure ENEMIES.

Huuummmm! Could it be the left’s plan for gun control, when the Left comes to exterminate all of use on the Right, we will be unable to defend ourselves because we caved to the Gun Control Zealots, I don’t think I will give up my guns quite yet!
It may not be the focus of the article, but that thought occurred while reading the article, just one more reason why gun control works for the powerful.
Have at least one gun and a spare and lots of ammo for both, the little buggers will malfunction!

The Democrats seriously want to ignite another summer of violence across this country, as a diversion from all the other problems they have created in the last 18 months. Nothing gets the public’s atention like images of burning main streets and bloody bodies and riots night after night on the news. The MSM will do their part to play it all up, so nothing else gets covered.

No one will be focused on the open southern border, rising inflation or any of the myriad of other probems the Democrats have created in the last 18 months. The more violent and bloodier the better, as far as the Democrats are concerned. Remember, their motto is “Whatever it takes”. They can then justify the need for a repeat of all the same election procedures used in 2020 and ensure they retain at least one of the chambers of Congress in November. Democrats always have a method to their madness and a plan designed to get what they want.

It has long been known that liberals are not liberal. I find most liberals are not. They are closed minded, my way or the highway in their thinking, you’re either for me or against me and often they are very violent about their beliefs. They want facts but don’t believe them. They want you to think like them or they don’t want you around… Beware of these people…. they demand you be like them, or they will attempt to destroy and discredit you. These are not the nice open-minded people you think they are…. for the most part they only have their personal agenda in mind and really don’t care about you or the people like you.

Repeal all state statutes that prohibit certified and vetted holders of a License-to-Carry (LTC) a concealed handgun from carrying their firearm on a K-12 school campus. Texas already did this legislatively for university campuses and churches, and it worked perfectly. In Texas, mass murders and violent armed attacks on college campuses and at churches stopped completely. It is time to do the same thing for K-12 schools, so teachers and administrators, among others, can be secretly armed and ready to defend every classroom. It will harden soft target K-12 schools in mis-named “Gun Free” zones. It would be immediately effective and free. Education authorities avoid it entirely because it means no budget growth ($).

The demorat party is the party of American freedoms hatred. They want to turn America intorm another Cuba, Venezuela, Korea, China etc. That and that alone is at the core of their treason against this nation. They are vicious, liars and will do and say anything to destroy our Constitutional Republic. Bottom line? One party rule, get rid of our 2nd. Amendment and replace our police with the “amerikan” version of the gestapo…think not? Think again.
P.S. Look up the “Genocide Chart” online. Published in ’95 by Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership. 9 nations disarmed in much the same way the traitors are attempting now….and the resulting over 60 million citizen genocide. Abortion is just another form of genocide. Cuomo putting covid positive people in nursing homes resulting in the deaths of about 15 THOUSAND older folks.
Demorat states make it almost impossible for LAW ABIDING CITIZENS to get firearms…as they turn loose repeat violent offenders. California during covid: released CONVICTED MURDERERS TO “HOUSE ARREST”???…mean while citizens could pound sand if they wanted to get a firearm….along with being held prisoner in their own homes.
This is not random nor is it about politics, it’s about national suicide and take over. Think I’m out there? Pay attention.

early on in his march to power, lenin was asked by one of his people why they didn’t take up arms. His response was something to the effect that they weren’t powerful enough yet to take on the “establishment” with violence. He indicated he would bid his time until the BOLSHEVIKS did have the military advantage; LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 1917 PEOPLE!!!!!! 6 months later when the russian people realized they had been LIED TO about the “virtues” of communism, trotsky sent the red army out to annihilate all those who opposed them.

Typical progressive leftist socialist democrats, what fits the narrative is then spewed across out propagandist leftist media. If a victim is killed or wounded and it’s a piece of the puzzle for there sole purpose of destroying our freedoms and the constitution as written, that’s great. If it’s Antifa or BLM causing destruction and death that’s fine also. These are trying times and our country is definitely fractured, if the leftist administration and our totally divisive president cannot see that there horrible policies in everything they do has and is destroying our very foundation then it’s obvious this is all a planned strategy by these MARXIST HATERS of our country and all the people.
