The Schumer shutdown of the federal government epitomizes the Democrats’
entire strategy for working with the remarkable presidency of Donald
Trump: No, No, Never-ever.
When their Party held the White House, Democrats demanded “clean”
spending bills, stripped of any unrelated issues. This more reasonable
approach has been replaced with a sleight of hand strategy of, that was
then, this is now.
A few short years ago, Senator Chuck Schumer compared the tactics he’s
using today to hostage taking. He said, “It’s sorta like this. Someone
goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, and then
says, let’s negotiate over the price of your house.”
The flip-flop position emanating from Schumer’s mouth today is in total
contradiction to his previous political posturing. He said so himself in
his rant from 2013. Schumer provided this example of the hostage taking
tactics he condemned back then: “You know, we could do the same thing on
immigration. We believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say,
we’re shutting down the government, we’re not gonna raise the debt
ceiling, until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental
chaos.”
Today, Schumer and the Democrats are the hostage takers. They are
negotiating with the proverbial gun to the head of Republicans and the
American people. Their ransom note reads as follows: “You give us total
amnesty for DACA recipients and all illegal immigrants, no end to chain
migration or the visa lottery, no deportation of even criminal aliens
like MS-13 gang members and not one brick for a border wall or we’ll shut
down the government.”

The Schumer shutdown has dispelled any illusions about what the Democrats
stand for.
Never before in American history has a major political party put the
wants and desires of foreigners ahead of the interests of American
citizens. That tenet was formerly the platform of some far out of the
mainstream lunatic fringe third party.
This is a remarkable achievement – and it’s the only one the Democrats
can claim.
Their abject hatred of President Trump has served up to now to mask their
hatred of America itself.
But that mask has been torn away and we now see Democrats opposed to not
just the President, but American government, the American people, who
they call deplorables, and even the very idea of American sovereignty.
Worse yet they do it with no shame.
This is the bright side to the Schumer shutdown: The opposition has
dropped all pretenses. The Democrats never wanted you to know their true
agenda, but it is now out in the open, for all to see.
The Schumer shutdown will not stop America because our great country is
far more than the government. The Constitution and the rule of law still
matters to the American people. It is why they supported Trump for
President.
Democrats are rolling the dice that the GOP will blink in the end.
Republicans usually do in these showdowns. The GOP has to stand firm this
time however. If they do not it will encourage more hostage taking by
Schumer in the future.

"[Democrats] call illegals 'DREAMers' while they call ordinary Americans
'deplorables.' No wonder Pelosi and company couldn't be happier about the
shutdown. It's obvious enough in how they chose to celebrate it in
style." (Monica Showalter)
