So, is part of your “RESIST” schtick, Chris Pappas? And is that mask hiding a broad smile, Annie Kuster?
Leading up to and after the SCOTUS Dobb’s decision (that corrected the wrong decision that abortion was not part of the Constitution), there were a lot of attacks on churches and pro-life/pregnancy care establishments, many by either a group called “Jane’s Revenge” or allied pro-abortionists. While I did put up a post stating that we’ve seen what the Republicans have done in the past, I have to admit that part of what the Rs are doing is putting Democrats “on record”. Like on this (emphasis mine):
…But you have to give the Republicans credit for fighting the good fight and for making the Democrats say all of the quiet parts out loud.
For example, this week, the House passed a measure that condemned attacks on pro-life facilities and churches. According to Just the News, the resolution “condemns recent attacks of vandalism, violence, and destruction against pro-life facilities, groups and churches” and “calls upon the Biden Administration to use all appropriate law enforcement authorities to uphold public safety and to protect the rights of pro-life facilities, groups, and churches.” The vote was 222-219 and was, as usual, split along party lines. But three Democrats—Vicente Gonzalez of south Texas, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington—supported it.
And note that none of them were named Annie Kuster or Chris Pappas. They had the chance to let their constituents know that they abhor violence simply because of the religious faiths of those being targeted by the pro-abortionists.
They couldn’t even be bothered to put up a facade. But it IS nice of them, via the “speech of their vote” to let the rest of us known that they hate people of faith and what we stand for. That they have no problem with our houses of worship and outreach missions being destroyed. I can only believe that it is because they cannot stand the idea that we treat other things to be far more important than their god of government mentality.
Our heresy, in their eyes, must be punished. After all, poll after poll, study after study, have shown the Democrat Party being far more godless than Society at large.
From the post:
The report notes that there were 342 incidents of vandalism, 58 incidents of arson or attempted arson, 12 incidents involving guns, 11 bomb threats, and 19 incidents that fell into the “other” category, which consisted of assaults, interruption of services, or threats. Twenty incidents involved a combination of offenses.
And these incidents were making the news until, suddenly (like the Antifa attacks in Portland and Seattle), they weren’t anymore. It was like some master-Hive minds in the Left said “nope, no more reporting on this!”.
So we do have to ask “does violence against churches rate the same as the violence against unborn babies, Congresswoman Kuster and Congressman Pappas? I understand that NH is one of the most unchurched States in the country, but does that factoid give you sufficient cover to give credence to physical violence? That you can ignore it because if your ideological makeup that “we don’t matter to you”?
We shall remember.
