Brain in the Box

By Tammy Derouin

The Democratic Party continued to show its true colors this past week by revealing to the nation and the world that they do not care about anything but their own political best interests. The party which likes to peddle the belief that they are superior, the champions of individualism, never mind the fact that encroaching on the rights of others is acceptable if they don't line up with “their” beliefs and ideals, proved on live television and to the world that they are a coalition of contemptuousness. You could almost see the hatred oozing out them as they listened or pretended to listen to the State of the Union address.

If you watched the State of the Union, the Democrats put on a sorrowful show. The shear ugliness which they have created and perfected was an embarrassing spectacle. The facial contortions provided by Nancy Pelosi, the sunken look of Chuck Schumer and the disrespectful behavior of the party in general, as some were caught playing games on their phones, was a national embarrassment. The Democratic side of the chamber, with but a few exceptions, showed their desire to be of one mind, thinking inside their crippling box of enslavement.

Free will appears to be a thing of the past if you are part of the Democratic Party. At times you could see the desire, the need to be an individual rise up among certain members of the enslaved party. When the President made pro-American, bipartisan statements, there were many looks of confusion. Heads began to turn, as a feeling of uncertainty overcame them. They seemed to be looking for a nod of approval. Was it OK to think for themselves, stand and applaud if they were so moved? Who was holding the brain in the box? For the most part, the desire to think as an individual was suppressed by the allegiance to the party. Perhaps the desire to have free will was overpowered by possibly being accused of betraying their party and the consequences they may have endured. I guess sitting on their hands, sucking on a sour ball and showing contempt towards the American people was what they had to do to get them through a very positive and uplifting speech. How sad that the Democrats view American prosperity, love of country and individual rights as a threat.

The Democrats were given a very generous offer on immigration. We have to fix the problem not just hit a reset button and pretend this will not happen again. We need border security and it's very concerning that any elected official would not want to secure our border. Our national interest and national security is at risk. Will the Democrats do the right thing and work towards a path for citizenship for their not yet legal but possible future constituents, or will they continue to play games, putting America at risk?

We need to get back to the rule of law and repair the damage caused by the rule of man. Americans and American interest must be top priority. We, as Americans, have a government which recognizes our most basic, individual rights. It is the government's job to protect those rights and it's the job of the Executive Branch to protect our national security.

Late last week, the highly anticipated “Memo” was released. Most of what was stated was already known but it contained things the main stream media doesn't like to report. If you are hearing this for the first time, it may seem shocking that our government, those who were part of the previous administration could be part of something so sinister. It's time to unplug from the main stream media. We had an administration which used its power to betray the trust of the American people for political gain. The FBI and DOJ intentionally misled the FISA court to obtain authorization to spy on a member of the Trump campaign. Our highly trusted departments fell from grace, opting to follow the rule of man over the rule of law. All Americans should be concerned about such activity and it should not go unpunished. This is certainly the tip of the iceberg. Americans should be upset that the media has aligned themselves with a political agenda. They now favor suppressing evidence and truth from the American people rather than seeking truth and justice.

“...the public's confidence in the integrity of the FISA process depends on the court's ability to hold the government to the highest standard- particularly as it relates to surveillance of American citizens. However, the FICS's rigor in protecting the rights of Americans, which is reinforced by 90-day renewals of surveillance orders, is necessarily dependent on the government's production to the court of all material and relevant facts.”
