Why the right is ‘sick and tired’ of being branded
The left-leaning media establishment lives in a bubble. It cannot accept the fact that many Americans are sick and tired of being told how they should think, how they should speak and how they should act. They are sick and tired of political correctness.
They are sick and tired of being branded Islamophobes just because they have genuine concerns about the safety of themselves and their families if many thousands of “refugees” from countries beset by jihad-inspired violence are allowed to settle in this country without careful vetting.
They are sick and tired of being branded racists because they want real security to be put into place at our southern border and an end to “sanctuary cities,” where illegal immigrants with criminal records can return time and again from deportation to inflict more harm on innocent American citizens.
They watched the news about Kate Steinle, who was struck by a bullet from a gun fired by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. The accused killer, whose trial date is expected to be set in December, is an illegal immigrant deported multiple times from the United States.
They could not understand why no action was taken by the Obama administration to prevent such tragedies from happening again, and why the Democrats in the Senate killed Kate’s Law.
