Faux Kings Day
As the world witnesses the joyous reunions of freed hostages and their families, the “No Kings” crowd will be back in Wakefield Square on Saturday morning to demonize the architect of the cease fire that led to the hostages being released.
The “No Kings” protesters boldly claim to be against genocide. So, on Saturday, they’ll be protesting the president who ended the imaginary “genocide” that they have been pretending to rail against.
They desperately want to believe that the United States is ruled by an “authoritarian.” But the very existence of the protests disproves their claim. Would a real authoritarian allow these protests to proceed against him?
They get their jollies from pretending to be victims of “oppression.” In fact, nobody is oppressing these wannabe revolutionaries. Laughing at them, yes. But oppressing them? Now, that’s funny.
Speaking of funny, the No Kings “folks” flatter themselves that there’s some direct line connecting them to the brave revolutionaries that overthrew the tyranny of a real king 250 years ago.
“NO KINGS is more than just a slogan,” the national web site proclaims, “it is the foundation our nation was built upon.”
The Founding Fathers could not be reached for comment.
The “No Kings” national web site lists lots of far-left groups as “partners,” including the American Federation of Teachers – the same activists who are educating your children in our public schools.
Other “No Kings” partners include the following organizations: The American Association of University Professors, the American Atheists, the Arab American Institute, Our Revolution, Planned Parenthood, Tax the Greedy Billionaires and MoveOn.org.
The “No Kings” crowd believes that they are “on the right side if history.”
But recent momentous events would suggest that history is passing them by.

I noticed the rainbow — do those people have any idea what happens to gay, lesbian, (etc.) people in the Arab world? Do they have any idea of what their life expectancy wouldn’t be if they were over there?
Conversely, Donald Trump has hired gays & lesbians to high level positions in his administration. I’m not going to name them because I’m not sure they are all out of the closet but they are there. They do their jobs and no one cares.
And as to the Holocaust, people forget that the National Socialists won what was a basically fair and honest election in 1933. Yes, the Germans elected Hitler, and the Austrians welcomed him into Austria in 1938. These are facts.
And as to “Kings”, do they have any idea what Adams, Jefferson, (and Madison) actually did?
The Alien & Sedition Acts? Throwing newspaper editors in jail? The Hartford Convention when New England & New York almost seceded from the union?
It’s really sad how little these purported intelligent people actually know…
Great article Mark as always I thought we were called the United States of America where is the love (?)
Trump is in fact trying to prevent these protests. He’s not on his way to authoritation he is there!
