If a good man turns bad, are we required to pretend, for the rest of his life, that he is still good? Do such a man's earlier good deeds render him strictly off-limits from any and all subsequent criticism until the end of time? Is he entitled to be revered indefinitely as a hero, an icon, or a saint, even if he has spent the past half-century proving himself to be a vile race-baiter, an ally of America's enemies, and a liar who repeatedly bears false witness against his fellow man?
We can answer all these questions by examining the track record of Democratic congressman John Lewis, who has vowed to boycott President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on grounds that Trump is not “a legitimate president.” Incidentally, that was the same rationale Lewis used sixteen years ago, when he likewise boycotted the inauguration of George W. Bush.

Almost as bad as some of the Southern state legislatures after the Late Unpleasantness.
DeleteThis new propaganda chant of "not a legitimate president" is one of those lies that the Left hope that if it is repeated and re-repeated often enough the public will come to believe is true. So where is the evidence for the allegation? Where has Mr. Trump been in violation of the requirements for office of President of the United States as stated in the US Constitution and the amendments? We held a general election where those who wanted to vote could vote (including those who were NOT qualified to vote, still got a chance to vote). Mr Trump won enough of the popular vote, for the electors of those states to cast their elector vote to confirm him as the winner. Mr Trump and his supporters play the game by the rules and won. Done. Deal.
ReplyDeleteAs for the dishonorable congresscritter John Lewis, he is a hypocrite and using a double standard of morality. He would have us excuse and condone his current actions and behavior base on what he was said to be in the past; "civil rights" icon. Yet at the same time, he and those like him, want and demand that the majority of the population based on their skin color (white) be personally accountable for the actions total strangers who have been dead for over century plus. You want equality? Here is equality for you, they are ALL equally dead.
As for all the protests and calls to boycott the inauguration; let them. To quote Shakespeare, they are "a wind full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". They will be forgotten.
A most appropriate quote.
