<\/a>The Democrats got what they wanted, but in the process they have created deep political fissures that will never heal.\u00a0 Now that President Trump has been impeached by the House, he will eventually be acquitted by the Senate, and so his political career will survive.\u00a0 But far more importantly, it has gotten to the point where nobody can no longer deny that America is at war with itself.\u00a0 The left hates Donald Trump and his supporters with an intense, passionate, visceral hatred, and Trump and his supporters feel the same way about the left.\u00a0 After this, nobody is going to be able to unite this country.\u00a0 Instead, we are headed for a future of anger, frustration, desperate acts and civil conflict.\u00a0 The mainstream media and many of our top political leaders have been stirring the pot for years, and the stage is set for an unprecedented explosion of animosity as we approach the upcoming election next November.<\/p>\nIt has been horrifying to watch the Democrats treat the U.S. Constitution with such disdain.\u00a0 On Wednesday, the nation was riveted as two impeachment votes were held in the House, and both votes were \u201calmost entirely on party lines\u201d.\u00a0 The following comes from\u00a0NBC News<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n Trump was impeached on two articles. The first vote, 230-197, accused him of abuse of power and was almost entirely on party lines; it was followed quickly by a second, 229-198, vote accusing the president of obstructing Congress. The one-vote difference was that of Democrat Jared Golden of Maine, who voted yes on abuse of power and no on obstruction.<\/p>\n No Republicans voted against Trump. Two Democrats, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, who is expected to switch parties soon, and Collin Peterson of Minnesota, voted with Republicans against both articles. One Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who is running for president, voted \u201cpresent\u201d on both articles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I would have liked to see Tulsi Gabbard actually have the courage to vote against impeachment, but at least two other Democrats were willing to stand up and do the right thing.<\/p>\n Now that the votes are over, many on the right are looking forward to a swift acquittal of Trump in the Senate, but it is being reported that the Democrats are actually considering\u00a0withholding the articles of impeachment from the Senate<\/a>\u00a0for at least some period of time\u2026<\/p>\n A group of House Democrats is pushing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders to withhold the articles of impeachment against President Trump that emerged from the House on Wednesday, potentially delaying a Senate trial for months.<\/p>\n The notion of impeaching Trump but holding the articles in the House has gained traction among some of the political left as a way to potentially force Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, to conduct a trial on more favorable terms for Democrats. And if no agreement is reached, some have argued, the trial could be delayed indefinitely, denying Trump an expected acquittal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Since they have already made such a mockery of this process, it shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone that they want to trample on the Constitution some more.<\/p>\n Thankfully, an increasing number of Americans are seeing through their petty games.\u00a0 Yesterday, I discussed a new CNN survey that found public support for impeachment\u00a0has fallen substantially<\/a>, and today I came across another new survey that discovered that even most Democrats believe that Nancy Pelosi and her minions\u00a0are being highly disingenuous<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n In the latest\u00a0Zogby Analytics<\/a>\u00a0survey, 67% of voters said that they \u201cbelieve the Democrats are more interested in impeaching the president as opposed to passing legislation that will help Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n And the shocking sidebar: A majority of Democrats, 53%, believe this is the case too, said pollster Jonathan Zogby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Prior to Wednesday\u2019s dramatic vote, there was an extended period of debate on the House floor, and several Republicans definitely rose to the occasion.\u00a0 For example, here is a great quote\u00a0from Represenative Mike Johnson<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThere has never been a single-party, fraudulent impeachment process like the one being used today. Our Democratic colleagues have weaponized the impeachment provision of the Constitution to nullify the votes of 63 million Americans who elected President Donald J. Trump.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia made national headlines when he compared this impeachment process\u00a0to the trial of Jesus<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But the best speech of the day belonged to Louisiana Republican Clay Higgins.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t have long to speak, but he definitely\u00a0made it count<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cI have descended into the belly of the beast. I have witnessed the terror within, and I rise committed to oppose the insidious forces which threaten our Republic,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Higgins opened.<\/p>\n \u201cAmerica\u2019s being severely injured by this betrayal, by this unjust and weaponized impeachment, brought upon us by the same socialists who threaten unborn life in the womb, who threaten First Amendment rights of Conservatives, who threaten Second Amendment protections of every American patriot, and who have long ago determined that they would organize and conspire to overthrow President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t face this horror because the Democrats have all of a sudden become constitutionalists. We are not being devoured from within<\/strong>\u00a0because of some surreal assertion of the socialists\u2019 newfound love for the very flag that they trod upon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are deep established D.C.<\/strong>,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cThey call this Republican map flyover country.\u00a0They call us deplorables. They fear our faith. They fear our strength. They fear our unity. They fear our vote, and they fear our president.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe will never surrender our nation to career establishment D.C. politicians and bureaucrats,\u201d Higgins closed.\u00a0\u201cOur republic shall survive this threat from within. American patriots shall prevail.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n If you would like to watch the entire speech on YouTube, you can find it\u00a0right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n America is more divided right now than it has ever been in any of our lifetimes.<\/p>\n
