The Real Insurrection, And The Dirty Politics Of Jan. 6

 The Democrats say that Jan. 6 was the worst attack on American democracy since the Civil War.

If you weren't a fool, you might conclude that Jan. 6 was nothing like an insurrection.

In every particular, Jan. 6 was a pale shadow compared to the Civil War.

Last week, we learned that the Department of Justice had sent a letter to the chief judge of the D.C. federal court warning that between 700 and 1,200 more people will be charged with Jan. 6 crimes.

The Justice Department, on behalf of President Biden, has decided to make an example of the Jan. 6 protesters in order to quell dissent among Republicans who might otherwise be tempted to carry a Trump flag to the Capitol.

The special counsel appointed to investigate Donald Trump's possession of classified documents and his actions and words on Jan. 6 represents a new low in American politics.

Even more outrageous is claiming that Trump was guilty of treason or inciting a riot because he asked his supporters to walk from the Ellipse to the Capitol on Jan. 6 "To peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." That's not incitement; it's First Amendment-protected political speech.
