If you are one of the so-called conservatives or Republicans who were first out of the gate to condemn Nick Sandmann for smirking at some fake medicine man or if you think that our first duty is to sign on to the left’s attacks on conservatives and Republicans because you want to be consistent, then you probably should stop reading now.

Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to “censure” Arizona Republican Paul Gosar for tweeting an anime video in which his cartoon character killed the cartoon character representing New York communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It was a strict party-line vote, with Lynn Cheney (quisling) and Adam Kinzinger crossing over to vote together.
Here is the video that offends.

Somehow this became a “threat of violence” that has resulted in Gosar being stripped of his committee assignments.
Earlier in the year, freshman Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was also stripped of her committee assignments for expressing opinions the left didn’t like. To be clear, I’m not going to defend each, and everything Taylor Greene said, that isn’t my job. It is not my job to try and silence Taylor Greene. They have the ability to fix any problem if her constituents become offended. I only care about bringing the fire and sword of left to all who help me in this endeavor. But I will say that if saying stupid sh** was grounds for being stripped of committee assignments, most Congressional committees would have few if any members.
Gosar’s “censure” is just a political hit. He’s been unabashed in his support for conservative positions; he didn’t run and hide under his bed because of an “insurrection,” and because of that, he has been targeted for retribution. You must have an intelligence on the level of a hamster to be upset by this video. Do you mean IQ on the level of a hamster?
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s and Paul Gosar’s actions are wrong and unjust. This is because one party is targeting members of another party to punish them while allowing their members’ behavior, regardless of how criminal or egregious it may be, isn’t how a functioning legislature works.

The House Democrats, along with two quisling Republicans, will take this action to end any pretense of collaboration that was present in the House from 1994. Why 1994? The reason 1994 was so important? As with the courts they set out destroy the House’s capacity to function.
The action against Gosar is unjust because never before have members of Congress been singled out and stripped of committee assignments without the consent of their party’s leader in the House and for any reason other than imminent indictment.
There is no indication whatsoever that the House will fall under GOP control in 2022. To immediately take vengeance against the Democrats, the GOP must use its power. The Democrats, like virtually all of the left, can’t distinguish between kindness and weakness. Individual Republicans have been targeted by their compliant stenographers and the Democrat base. They are now using their power to punish them. These individuals must receive the exact same treatment. Ilhan Omar needs to be investigated for marrying her brother, and helping with immigration fraud. Eric Swalwell should be removed from all committee assignments as well as his security clearance because he was involved in a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy. Rashida Tlaib needs to be punished for continuing and open support of terrorist acts. Hank Johnson should be punished for his crimes against physics.
We are beyond the point of “tit for tat.” We are at the Chicago Way.
Retaliation against a few Democrats isn’t enough. This is why wholesale warfare, which so paralyzes Democrats’ ability to achieve anything else, is the only solution.
If Republicans refuse to settle the score, they will not be able to elect them again.
