There has been much chatter about the video released by six Marxist leftist elected officials with military backgrounds. The group is composed of Senators Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, along with Representatives Jason Crow of Colorado, Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania. In this now viral video, these useful idiots, Vladimir Lenin's term, make the insidious statement to the members of our US Armed Forces that, “You can refuse illegal orders...you must refuse illegal orders.” They were specifically addressing this to the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Defense. Sorry, I don't like changing titles and names just because. However, when queried about specific "illegal orders,” it appears that these individuals have no clue. This was basically the same futile effort of leftists to toss you know what against the wall, and see if it sticks.
Incitement
If anything, the actions of these six so-called members of our federal legislative branch would constitute acts of sedition and even treason, in their most simple definitions. Sedition is defined as conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch. And no, we do not have a king in America. Treason is the crime of betraying one's country, and can also include acts of disloyalty.
These six leftist elected officials took an oath to the Constitution of the United States; they also did so as members of the military. What is quite disturbing and disconcerting is that they now align themselves with an ideological agenda, and not the rule of law, the Constitution. Case in point, these six talk about "illegal orders.”
Hypocrisy Reigns
Where were their voices when the Biden-Harris regime was ordering healthy American troops to take an unproven shot, or else be terminated from service to the Nation? It was the Biden-Harris administration that gave this illegal, immoral, unlawful, and unconstitutional order to our men and women, many of whom had adverse reactions to the Covid shot. Why were they not told that they should refuse illegal orders?
Where were the voices of these six leftist ideologues when the Biden-Harris administration violated the Constitution and allowed millions of illegal immigrants into the Country? Article IV, Section 4, clearly states that the federal government is to guarantee to every state protection from invasion. They said nothing as fentanyl poured over our borders, killing 250K Americans during the Biden-Harris administration.
Where were the voices of these six members of the party of the j*****s when the Biden-Harris administration enacted the greatest military debacle in our history, the Afghanistan withdrawal? How interesting, their silence, when Joe Biden looked at this watch during the ramp ceremony for 13 American troops who should not have lost their lives. Perhaps those troops should have refused the insidious, incompetent, illegal order to conduct that withdrawal. And nothing was said by these chuckleheads when over $80B of US military equipment was left behind for the Taliban, why not refuse that illegal and unethical, stuck on stupid, order?
These seditious six members said nothing while our military was decimated, recruitment dropped, and readiness plummeted. But our troops knew their pronouns and all about DEI/CRT, and respecting mentally ill servicemembers suffering from gender dysphoria.
Then again, this is what we have come to expect: sedition and treason from leftist elected officials.
Careless Application of Law
Unauthorized entry into the Country is a federal offense: first time misdemeanor, subsequent times a felony. That is in 8 US Code 1325, the law. But leftist elected officials care little about the application of the law when it comes against their open borders ideological agenda.
It is time that leftist elected officials who are inciting violence against federal law enforcement officers be held accountable and charged with sedition. These deranged leftists who are acting out against our LEOs should be charged accordingly with aiding and abetting criminal activity, and those proclaiming sanctuary status for their cities and states are harboring criminals, in essence, acting as accomplices to a crime.
I think leftists need to read the Supremacy Clause, Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution and realize that when the federal government acts "in pursuance thereof" to the rule of law, it has supremacy over state or lower jurisdictions. Then again, the law matters little to leftist elected officials when it runs afoul of their ideological agenda.
Or what is it with a U.S. representative being a propagandist for a designated Islamic terrorist organization? Yes, Rashida Tlaib is guilty of not just sedition, but also treason. I mean, displaying the flag of a terrorist organization, which is what Hamas and Fatah are, outside her congressional office. Tell me how that is not providing support and comfort to the enemy, one that killed Americans on October 7, 2023?
