Blind loyalty to the letters ‘D’ and ‘R’

Dec 16, 2016, 10:10 PM

It’s a funny thing that is happening to both the Democrats and the Republicans. But it’s more entertaining to focus on the Democrats.

Now, Democratic Senators are incredibly upset about our sovereignty being threatened, in regards to the recent hacks.

So the Russians committed a crime and then used the media to distribute the fruits of the crime to influence minds.

But what if the same thing was happening domestically? Say by the American Communist Party? And what about all the cities and campuses across the country who are committing the crime of refusing to follow immigration laws and then marketing that fact, then in turn using that fact to influence the elections?

And what about groups who attack our election system with the notion that it’s racist to check someone’s ID to see if they are eligible to vote? And what about Democrat operatives who commit the crime of coordinating illegally to pay for violence at political rallies?

Now there is a big worry on the left about Trump’s conflicts of interests with his businesses. But what about all of Hillary’s conflict of interests within the Clinton Foundation? How come they didn’t care about that a few months ago?

What we are seeing is loyalty to the letters ‘D’ and ‘R’. And we need to take a close look at our loyalty to either letter.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
