West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke was cited
for disorderly conduct recently for allegedly screaming at a teenage girl
wearing a “Trump: Make America Great Again” tee-shirt. Burke, a liberal elected
official, yelled “Grab ‘em by the p---y, girls!” at a group of four teenagers
waiting in line at a retail outlet to buy cookies for younger children at their
church, KPRC-TV reported.
The
father of the girl who dared to wear a tee-shirt supporting the president of
the United States told local news that when the girls ignored Councilwoman
Burke, she hollered the obscenity again. Then she started bellowing “MAGA!
MAGA! MAGA!” while shaking her fist at them. The father of another said, “They
were scared. They were absolutely scared. My little girl essentially wanted to
know if this woman was going to hurt her.” Burke reportedly took a photo of The Girl in The Trump Tee before walking
away. Nothing creepy there.
The
girls were understandably shaken. University police referred the incident to
the constable’s office, which filed a class C misdemeanor charge against the
Councilwoman.
Burke
is a member of “Moms Demand Action.” As a father and husband, this sounds like
a sentiment I would heartily agree with, a movement I would strongly support.
However, it turns out it’s the name of a group agitating for strict gun
control. It is more than a little ironic that those who purport to want to end
gun violence against children tend to berate those kids—at least those they
haven’t aborted-- if they happen to be of a conservative bent. When it comes to
those who disagree with them, they evince all the tolerance of Nikita
Khrushchev addressing a vocal dissenter from The Party line.
Who in
their right mind would publicly tell young girls buying cookies to grab them by
the p---y? I mean, what the hell?! Clearly she was in her left(ist) mind. Maybe she knew they were being purchased for their
fellow Christian church members, and that offended her.
As much
as I despise vacuous politicians like Hillary Clinton, the policies of Barack
Obama, or the fecklessness of John Kerry, I wouldn’t want them publicly shouted
down-- or threatened—by an elected conservative politician…while they were in
line to buy cookies. (Of course, that would never happen). That type of
behavior is a sure recipe for the eventual destruction of a democratic
republic.
Would
Burke have debased the girl if she was wearing a tee-shirt supporting Barack
Obama? Touting “Hope and Change?” Of course not. She might even have said
something like “You go girl!” if the youth was wearing a “Planned Parenthood”
shirt in support of the mass slaughter of innocent babies.
To
paraphrase Thomas Jefferson: If Western societies think they can be ignorant,
hypocritical, amoral and free, in a state of civilization, they believe in
something that never was and never can be.
