Since When Did We Republicans Start Being Against Punishing Criminals?
Kurt Schlichter
Oh no, we are not going to forgive and forget. There is a time for forgiving, but it’s not now. If we’re going to forgive, we need to get something out of it and see some contrition. You don’t just give it away because you’re nice. But there are a lot of nice Republicans out there who think that we should just let bygones be bygones. They want us not to deport, prosecute, or otherwise sanction the illegal aliens who haven’t been yet caught committing any crimes after they committed the crime of being here illegally, those who imprisoned us for being their political opponents, and those who abused us with censorship and COVID decrees. We’re supposed to give them all a pass for some reason.
How about a hard pass instead?
No, they need to pay. I am not sure when the conservative principle of righteous retribution – punishment – for wrongdoing suddenly became unfashionable. I certainly wasn’t consulted. I believe wrongdoers should be punished, and that includes criminals who happen to be part of the regime media, the bureaucracy, and the Democrat Party. They abuse us, and they need to answer for it. You can’t be the party of law and order if you shrug when your enemies break the law and engage in disorder. But the media and the Democrats are demanding that we forgo holding them to account. We must tell them, in no uncertain terms, to go pound sand. They’re going to pay. They have to, or it will happen again.
