Americans in general have a lot of compassion,
we just don’t always have the same view of how that compassion is implemented.
– Adam Kinzinger
I don’t agree with the Congressman about much of anything.
Except we both know a treasonous insurrection when we see one. Slow-moving or not.
Around the corner from where the Q flag flies, there’s a house down the road, neat and tidy. Looks like gardeners live there. Looks like they’re Evangelical Christian Trumpists still upset about regime change in D.C.
What I like to call the American Taliban or, better yet, Vanilla ISIS.
So you know they aren’t any friends of mind. Relatives maybe.
I did have to unfriend a first cousin I had only just found after thirty-five years apart.
I know about these neighbors because they have flags. (HOA prohibits signs.)
A Christian flag, which I remember from my study of medieval Crusades and the Inquisition. Good times.
A Stop The Stolen Rigged Election 2020 lawn banner.
Flag on the other pole: IMPEACH BIDEN MAKE AMERICA AMERICA AGAIN.
Imagine if people like that actually are your relatives. Or your neighbors?
Imagine if you were living together with these people. Like we are in America.
Like Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Not my favorite politician, but he did stand up for the Constitution.
He did put country ahead of party.
“We’ll never move forward by ignoring what happened or refusing to hold accountable those responsible- that will embolden the few who led us here. It will make it likely that we see more anger/violence/chaos in the years ahead.”
“If the GOP doesn’t take a stand, the chaos of the past few months, and the past four years, could quickly return. The future of our party and our country depends on confronting what happened — so it doesn’t happen again.
Adam’s cousins believe in Christ as they imagine Him, the Constitution as they imagine it and Trump. As they imagine him. Maybe Q, too.
Hard to argue with the entire united imaginations.
And so Adam Kinzinger got a piece of his cousins’ minds.
Adam,
Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God! We were once so proud of your accomplishments! Instead, you go against your Christian principals (sic) and join the “devil’s army.” (Democrats and the fake news media).
How do you call yourself a Christian when you join the “devils army” believing in abortion! We thought you were “smart” enough to see how the left is brainwashing so many “so called good people” including yourself and many other GOP members.
You have even fallen for their socialism ideals! So, so, sad! .President Trump is not perfect, but neither are you or any of us for that matter! It is not for us to judge or be judged! But he is a Christian! (If God can forgive and use King David in the Bible, He can do the same with President Trump.)
Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffress, to just name a few, of many Pastors, who mentor President Trump, know that he is a believer! Obviously, you did not hear President Trump’s “Christmas Message” to the American people (fake news media did not cover his message) where he actually gave the plan of salvation, instructing people how to repent and ask the Savior into their heart to be “Born Again”! (To believe in John 3:16).
When was the last time you proclaimed your faith Adam? (Oh, we forgot you now belong to the “devils army.”). You won’t convince us otherwise with your horrible, rude accusations of President Trump! (To embrace a party that believes in abortion and socialism is the ultimate sin.) We should list even more grievances against you, but decided you ae (sic) not worth more of our time to list them. We have said enough! .
You should be very proud that you have lost the respect of Lou Dobbs, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Greg Kelly, etc. and most importantly in our book, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh and us! .It is now most embarrassing to us that we are related to you. You have embarrassed the Kinzinger family name.
We are not judging you. This letter is our opinion of you! .Oh, by the way, good luck in your fund raising (sic) endeavors. We are sure we know there are many others good GOP and Christian supporters, that feel the same way we do. Also very disappointed with the many other GOP have sided with the Democrats. (We should demand our money back!) .
The following Kinzinger family members have asked that their names be added to this letter: .Signed [names redacted] .
P.S. For your information, many more family members, feel the same as we do. They just didn’t have the courage to sign our letter or write their own letter! Not us, we are throughly (sic) disgusted with you!!
And, oh by the way, we are calling for your removal from office! I have received numerous calls concerning your actions and egregious behavior towards our President of the United States, Donald J. Trump! .
CC: Many conservative Republicans. .
*President Trump has done more for the American people in four years, than you, the Rino’s (sic), and Democrates (sic) have done in years!!
January 19, 2021
Adam,
Unfortunately, we felt another letter was warranted to defend our position and our opinion of you!
First, we saw on the TV News to your “personal family” claiming we had disowned you and claiming we are “being misled.” So you are also saying that 75 million people and all but 10 G.O.P. Representatives are “being misled” as well?? Seriously Adam, really! You are the one “being misled” (brainwashed) by the Democrats and the fake news media. Again, we thought you were “smart enough” to realize they were manipulating your mind. We have not disowned you, you have disowned yourself!
You had a lot of nerve disrespecting the prominent pastor (Pastor Robert Jeffress), accusing him of inciting violence. Shame on you! If anyone is inciting violence and dividing this Country, it is so you, the fake news media and the Democrats!! It is beyond our comprehension that you have submitted and conformed to the leftist Democrats’ ideals. The fact that you have done this is reprehensible!!
Also, we saw where you “demanded Pastor Jeffress to lead Pro-Trump Christians Out of Darkness.” As your “personal family” we find that most insulting!! To give up your Christian Principals for self gain is deplorable! What do you expect to gain after losing all respect from your colleagues and your constituents? With your disagreement and lack of respect of the majority of the G.O.P. House, you might as well join the Democrat Party! (Doesn’t it bother you at all that you have “lost the respect” of so many good people and believers?!)
You are allowing the leftist, social democrats to divide the Republican Party, which will ensure future Democratic political victories. Free speech is under assault, 2nd Amendment rights are in jeopardy, businesses are failing, schools closed, etc, etc.
Your Rino agenda uses a 7 hour impeachment (sham) proceeding to occur that wasted time and money! This farce was void of witnesses, factual evidence and representation of the accused!
As a member of the military, defying and disrespecting your Commander-in-Chief is an act of Treason! This President will go down in history as the greatest friend of the police and the military! He is the first President to be completely Pro-Life! The first to stand up to Russia and China! The first to protect our border! We could go on and on what he has done for the American people!
The lack of any relevant Congressional action during your tenure, is indicative of your priorities in representing your constituents and the American people!
Video evidence of 16 months of rioting in American cities and leftist comments, encouraging such actions, certainly supply ample evidence of disqualifying top officials from holding office, including Biden and Harris!
Your duty of military loyalty and congressional obligation to your constituents, is not supplemental to your personal gain!
We are so disappointed and saddened by the decision/choice you have made! We will be praying that the Lord will “lead you Out of Darkness!”
Perhaps the witch/devil, holding the gavel, will invite you to her house for ice cream!

The old man had been accused of having TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Like being accused of having Ted Bundy Derangement Syndrome. Except Ted was better-looking and smarter.
I love the growing hum, maybe chatter, suggesting the hate for the loser ex-President is exorbitant.
Like he’s a good Christian who was doing great until that Chinee virus nobody could’ve seen coming.
The hate doesn’t help, they say.
Others suggest we can’t shut out the anti-democrats. If we refuse to talk to them, we will never change their minds.
The old man was famously humble about his patience but he was, well, old and time was short.
Frankly, they don’t seem that persuadable.
But perhaps a reminder is in order.
