I've long said that Democrats are godless and Republicans are gutless, and that I pity the American who puts his or her trust in either party. Whereas Democrats will go scorched earth, stopping at nothing and stooping to anything to get us under their iron-fisted rule, even if it means burning our country down to rule over its ashes, Republicans will spinelessly squirt their little water pistols at Democrats, while hiding behind a cluster of cowardly things, such as Senate rules and traditions. Take for example the following two cases of crystal clear Republican cowardice.
First, Democrats, in a blatant attempt to dictate their demands upon Republicans, as well as upon our representative republic, through political extortion, have just dragged our whole country through the longest government shutdown in American history. Furthermore, they are poised and even chopping at the bit to do it again in January of next year. The only thing enabling Democrats to politically extort our country by taking it hostage through government shutdowns is the Senate's filibuster rule, which Democrats themselves tried to axe in 2022. Noticeably, not to mention frighteningly, their effort to end the filibuster failed by only two votes; those of a moderate Democrat, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, and of an Independent Senator, Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema, neither of which are any longer in the Senate. Although Democrats will once again try to end the filibuster the next time they gain a Senate majority, not only to pack the Supreme Court, turning it into a rubber stamp for their socialist agenda, but also to grant statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, in order to add four more Democrat senators to the Senate, in hopes of assuring themselves of perpetual power, chicken-livered Republicans refuse to currently end the filibuster and strip Democrats of their means of political extortion, despite the fact that the filibuster itself is destined to be tossed on the ash heap of history by Democrats, as soon as they get another chance to end it for their own political ends.
Second, and somewhat less obvious than the first, the weapon employed by a Clinton appointed federal judge to dismiss the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James was actually put in the judge’s hand by lily-livered Republicans. The Senate’s “blue slip” rule, which allows the two Senators of any given state to stall the confirmation of appointed federal nominees to that state, even if the nominee has the support of a majority of United States Senators, is what stalled the confirmation of Lindsey Halligan as United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. It was this stalled confirmation of Halligan, by Virginia’s two Democrat Senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, that the Clinton appointed judge, Cameron McGowan Currie, seized to throw out the indictments against Comey and James without prejudice, which means simply on a technicality, irrespective of the actual merits of the indictments. In the end, it was the Senate’s so-called “blue slip” rule, which Democrats have weaponized into a partisan political choke point against conservative nominees to blue states, as well as Republicans refusal to end this rule that Democrats continuously misuse and abuse for their own political advantage, that Judge Currie used to get Comey and James off the hook.
Cowardly Republicans’ commitment to archaic Senate rules and devious Democrats' determination to use them for their own diabolical ends is just one way that godless Democrats strong-arm gutless Republicans today. It’s like a weak-kneed boxer, who refuses to deviate in the least from the 158-year-old Maquise de Queensberry Rules, climbing into the ring with a completely ruthless, lawless, bloodthirsty, and armed to the teeth modern-day terrorist. Though the punch-drunk pugilist knows he is about to be pummeled, pounded, and punched out, he’s more than willing to end up on the canvass both brutalized and bloodied, as long as he has fought to preserve, not his own life, his children's future, or the future of his country, but his beloved Maquise de Queensberry Rules.
