US Representative Shot

[Gman]

No. Life and the business of the US needs to move along. We need another hopefully Republican vote to fend off any gun controll legislation the libtards are drafting.

This is a fast paced environment, we can't sit idle while our opponents are quickly maneuvering.

Dude, chill. Scalise is in the House of Representatives which has a solidly Republican majority. Scalise being out for weeks will likely not make any difference.

Exactly. Not to mention it's up to the people in his state to worry about him. Besides. "Fast-paced environment" my ass. The house republicans have been neutralized by infighting and Trump-hating for the last 6 months. They can barely agree they're republicans.

Yup, let the guy heal.

Needs to step down and let an able bodied person serve that electorate.

He does not one good in the hospital.

Absolutely fuckin' not.

The governor of Louisiana is a Demonrat ... he'll replace him with another degenerate POS seditious Democrat in a heartbeat.

He can also still cast votes from the hospital via proxy or whatever they call it.

I really don't believe the progressive leadership wants a civil war. The violent rhetoric and encouragement of violence are intended to have several outcomes: create chaos, intimidation, and a feeling of hopelessness among the greater population. To that end, a few deranged/evil types like the baseball shooter will feel validated and empowered to act. There will be more. The left knows they are ridiculously outgunned and if they truly got behind a violent overthrow of the gov would be put down hard. What the progressive leadership wants is a steady march to disarming the population through several means: indoctrination in schools/colleges, anti-2A local and state laws, participation in globalist gun control measures, changing our culture, and packing the courts with leftists. They have succeeded on many of those fronts - in fact almost the rest of the world population is either completely or functionally disarmed right now. The progs know they need the white house back to finish what they started. They aren't happy about having to wait a few years for another crack at it, so are doing everything they can in the meantime to stir the pot. I expect at some point not too far away they will have the white house - and probably congress too. There are enough useful idiots who vote in the country, to vote them in. When they have the power back, thats when it will really be dangerous. If they succeed on disarmament, it is game over as we all know. However, even with them in power I don't think that is easy to do. Maybe impossible?

Good points all Singlestack, thanks.

I don't think the Liberal Left wants a civil war but I do think they want the Appeasement arms of the Moderate and Right wings to fear a civil war enough to kowtow to what they want or at least forego undoing what the Left has done. This has been their pattern for the last 50 years: make what was viewed as extreme look moderate by comparison and get the country to shift gradually leftward to avoid the violence and instability implied by their violent activism.
To this end, they immediately try to blame violence on the Right or on guns or gun owners (what we call "conservative" today would have been viewed as simply common sense moderation or even slightly liberal 50 years ago).
They don't need to own a bunch of guns themselves if they can change the culture and the courts to make enough people think gun ownership is extremism in itself. 35 years ago, I was able to borrow a rifle from school overnight to teach skills at my Scout troop (and this was in Hawaii!). Today, that would cause all kinds of apoplexy (why did the school have GUNS? Why did they let a student borrow one overnight? What do you mean he didn't have a safe at home to store it? Etc.).

We need to take back the language along with our rights. They aren't progressive in any way or fashion. These are regressive Stalinists and Maoists bent on enforcing cultural and societal change that has demonstrated it leads to decay. Despite their rewrites of history, they bear as much resemblance to the Progressive Party formed by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 as the Antonov An-10 did to the Fokker Dr.I or Nieuport 28.
