I keep thinking of 1 Sam 13 when Samuel chastened Saul for handling things in his own way, and as a result of his foolishness suffered the anointing of one to succeed him.
I am sick to my stomach to see how these guys attacked the police. Police are just doing their work, to attack them violently and viscously should be one of the worst offences under the law. I am speechless. I was sad for our country before I saw that video... but watching that guy taking his coat off and looking for a fight with a police officer... seriously? Is that the kind of citizens we have?
And yes, Trump should resign right now. The full extent of the law should be applied on him. Shameful! Not that many care, but now we are also the joke of the international community. We loved to refer to countries like 'banana republics'... now who is the banana republic?
Wow, when something great ends in a steaming pile of poo. Yesterday, and your email. Asking questions equates on to Satan...nice. I suppose you loved Biden's speech today, his solid, completely on point speech.
Some here have given credit to the Capital police for showing the restraint yesterday. Credit should also be given to those who "invaded" the Capital: As far as I can tell from the videos, news reports, interviews, etc. there was not a single act of vandalism committed by those who were inside. This argues very strongly against the statement that these were insurrectionists out to overthrow the government (and therefore should have been shot). Yesterday was very much unlike what we saw this past summer in many large cities. To think that the two compare is to miss the meaning of yesterday. The left started to sow the wind very early in the Bush Administration and has continued to do so at every opportunity since. Yesterday was the first instance of the appearance of reaping the whirlwind. It is time for everyone in this great country to open their blind eyes, unlock their deaf ears, shut their loud months and listen to each other. Neglect this and the whirlwind will become a raging storm with bodies piling in the streets.
Thank you for being a conservative voice of reason! And thank you for staying strong in the face of what I am sure can be overwhelming pressure. I wish our politicians could stick to the truth and righteousness in the face of similar pressures.
Enjoy the loss of your Constitutional Rights Mr. Erickson. Say goodbye to that Glock pistol you so lovingly had tricked out. Like the rest of the us peons you will lose too.
Hands down one of the worse posts from you I have read. To liken people that question their political leaders to Satan is beneath you. It's beneath the quality of the writing that you normally post. Sure Satan used questions, so does any good prosecutor or parent. Are they also satanic? Someone that carries an "F** the police sign" is not a Trump supporter. They are anarchists. Grifters showing up for whatever cause at the moment gets them the attention and chaos they crave. Who they vote for is irrelevant, they may not even vote as many anarchists don't.
The display yesterday was not caused by a single speech or a single politician nor a single event. To think that you can boil the anger, discontent, and frustration down to one person or an event is not grounded in reality.
Spot on erick. As usual, especially if late, you are one of the few sane voices. Life long conservative and very proud of the stance you have taken. I really enjoy your show, both podcast and wsb. Please know that we are all praying for you and your family. Do not give in, you are on the right side. Love you buddy.
I’m not sure what they (government) expected to happen yesterday. The government has shut down all of Trumps efforts to get to the bottom of the election and if it was taken and then the worse part. They did not explain it to the country and present actual proof that trump was wrong and every state followed there election law to a T. They Did not prove all votes were real. If they would have then Trump would have had less power in his speech and might have just gone away. Just having the main stream media come on and say I “blocked by a judge or struck down” is not enough. They needed to show the case to the American people. The seed of the revelation that started this country was the Boston Massacre and colonist were just as much to blame at the reds and John Adams defended the reds.
I think the government needs to take there people a little more seriously or this is what you get. Also I’m sure antifa was involved in this as well.

My point being only that we are doing ourselves more harm than good. But, thanks for the history lesson.

Thank you Erick. Again.
Amen.
Erick, next time you’re in ATX, the cigars are on me. This is a monumental column that will not get the kudos it is worthy of receiving.

Hands down one of the best posts from you I have read. "You know who else was just asking questions? Satan in the garden." That's priceless.

Unfortunate but true. The person who shouts the most gets noticed. That has become the norm

Thanks for always being a voice of reason, kindness and civility.
