Not One Senate Democrat Joins Resolution Commending U.S. Military For Soleimani’s Death

By Erielle Davidson, The Federalist, January 10, 2020

Story continues below advertisement

With the support of 42 other GOP senators, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas introduced a resolution yesterday afternoon to commend the president for ordering “successful operations” in Iranian terrorist Qassam Soleimani’s death and to honor the members of U.S. military and intelligence agencies who aided in the targeted killing of “a terrorist responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people across the Middle East, including 603 US service members.”

Cruz hoped partisan divisions would be sufficiently and temporarily suppressed for the sake of commending the administration for destroying the mastermind behind the world’s largest state sponsor of terror. However, not one Democratic senator could marshal the courage to co-sponsor the resolution with him.

Indeed, Cruz purposely analogized the resolution to the one introduced in 2011 honoring those who ordered and assisted in the killing of Osama bin Laden. Senate Resolution 159 was introduced by Sen. Harry Reid (D-CA) just three days after U.S. forces killed bin Laden under President Obama in May 2011. That resolution was sponsored by the entire Senate, serving as an emphatic symbol of the chamber’s capacity for bipartisan statements — at least when they praise Democrats.

Cruz’s resolution is deliberately modeled after the language used in Reid’s resolution. Indeed, a side-by-side comparison of S. Resolution 159 and Cruz’s Soleimani resolution indicates that the main method for penning Cruz’s resolution was substituting words, swapping the crimes of bin Laden for the crimes of Soleimani and subbing Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for al-Qaeda.

Both resolutions emphasize the importance of “bringing terrorists to justice” through “defeating, disrupting, and dismantling” the respective organizations of bin Laden and Soleimani.” But most importantly, both offered unequivocal praise for the intelligence community, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the president.

Cruz’s resolution arrives at a critical time, when the Democrats seem overwhelmingly poisoned by partisanship — to the staggering point that they have struggled to even refer to Soleimani as a terrorist, despite his leadership role in a group formally designated a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the U.S. State Department. Nothing symbolizes this disturbing recalcitrance more than the fact that Cruz could not convince one Democrat to co-sponsor the Soleimani resolution with him. Compare this objectively pathetic response to the one Reid managed to muster, which resulted in the entire Senate sponsoring the resolution.

Commending those who killed a terrorist responsible for the loss of hundreds of American lives should not be a controversial endeavor, and Cruz’s choice to lift words directly from S. Resolution 159 represents a substantial attempt to keep this venture as non-partisan as possible. Regardless, congressional records reveal that 26 Democratic senators sponsored Reid’s resolution against bin Laden but opted not to sponsor Cruz’s resolution against Soleimani. Meanwhile, the entire Senate GOP sponsored Reid’s resolution and most of the current Senate GOP sponsored Cruz’s.

This disparity in voting records tells a story about the state of the modern Democratic Party and how partisan hackery has eroded its moral compass. Given the two resolutions employed the same language and were both directed at a purely evil contributor to myriad murders, it’s difficult to generate any rational conclusion as to why not one Democrat could gather the moral fortitude to sponsor the resolution.

Yet we know precisely why those 26 Democrats abstained from joining Cruz’s resolution. They hate Trump more than they find inherent moral value in destroying evil, and it’s becoming increasingly apparent that these are the actions of deeply unserious people. Cruz likely was testing how far the Democrats would allow their detestation of Trump to cloud their ability to celebrate the demonstrable Good and condemn the objective Bad. Apparently, quite a bit.

But why should we express surprise or consternation? One Democratic member of Congress explained the Iranian confrontation to a Washington Post reporter, uttering, “You need two crazy leaders to start a war, and fortunately, Iran doesn’t have one.” Yes, this elected member of Congress believes there is a moral equivalency between a regime that hangs gay people from cranes, forces women to don specific clothing, and slaughters thousands globally each year via proxy terror groups. It’s simply psychotic.

Even a mere glimpse of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) giggling as her fellow representative discussed those Soleimani killed provides a peripheral data point of how Senate Democrats’ rot seems to unsurprisingly apply to the other chamber, as well. It’s certainly and thankfully not every Democrat who exercises such morally bankrupt logic, but the theatrics seem to emanate from unfortunately the most visible and vocal.

With the death of Soleimani, Senate Democrats had an opportunity to locate the objective Bad but explicitly chose not to. For all their cries of “Orange man bad!” and analogies comparing Trump to Stalin or Hitler, it seems they are demonstrably challenged and utterly incompetent at identifying what genuinely constitutes “bad.” In the same way House Democrats bemoaned condemning antisemitism explicitly, it seems Senate Democrats can’t muster the courage to despise a terrorist more than they despise Trump.

great, and accurate, cartoon. the democrat-muslim party will never approve of the killing of muslims, and as more and more of their membership are 3rd-world illegal aliens who hate america and will never assimilate, it is becoming more and more the enemy within

Invaders (ala “migrant workers” )are supported by our taxes as they breed like sewer rats. By 2040, our descendants may have to “Press 1 for English” as the OGM is uttered in Arabic or Spanglish.

We have no need for people who wish to wave their birth nations’ flags, while refusing to adapt to our language and customs.

Since Trump has all of the good stuff covered and it’s all for the citizens of our country the Dems need different issues in contrast so hating the USA and being against the citizens is all that’s left. They are stuck with bitter dregs.

Orchestrating attacks against Americans and many Western and Middle-East citizens; overseeing the attack upon the US embassy; organising terrorists groups and funding them to the point that they named a rocket used to attack Israel after him, and still the Democrats see no reason to put out his lights?

Why were they so happy as punch when Obama did similar to Bin Laden? Why were they so silent about the over 400 drone strikes Obama approved, including taking out a few American citizens who had joined in with the terrorists. I believe that is called extra-judicial and verboten under US law,

Simply amazing. The party’s mascot is truly representative of them: a jackass. Even stranger is that they are proud of being the party of jackass.

Collectively, if their brains were dynamite could the party even blow Pelospie’s nose?

No, it won’t be Medicare (Title Act 18). It will be Medicaid (Title Act 19). Caid ain’t got any deductibles or coinsurance. We surely don’t want illegal aliens to pay so much as a penny, do we?

Perish the thought! We can’t have them paying for anything. Why, they’ve already “paid” enough coming to this country. You know, the dangers of crossing the border. Being indebted to coyotes. Finding fake ID’s. Staying clear of ICE. Having a good escape plan to leave the country when they get into an auto accident with no insurance. So, you see, we just can’t have the illegals paying. Going to call the Gov Newsome to make sure we all pay our share in more taxes for the oh-so deserving illegals.

It’s not so much that an illegal alien needs an “escape plan”, when they are involved in an automobile accident and have no insurance. They’re never sited for that … and arresting them would be racist. Most have escape plans for when they’re actually run down as the perpetrator of a rape-murder.

In light of current events , I understand this perfectly. These people are not Democrats… They are Progressive Socialist enemies of the United States, who have been thwarted in their scheme to takeover the government of the country by the failure of their clean-up hitter, Hilary to lead/fool the American people into socialism. Barack Obama got the ball rolling and then, the next act got the rug pulled out from under it by the American people. Thus bitterness, hatred of Trump and of the United States,now rule everything that they do. It’s time for these erstwhile Fabians to face reality and leave the scene… peacefully or with a prod…doesn’t matter anymore. Whether they know it, now, or not, doesn’t matter either. They are done.

And liberals act offended and dare to question this Trump re-tweet.
I enjoyed it – Mullah Bin Schumer and Tehran Nancy

President Trump shared an edited picture on Twitter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer in traditional Islamic garb, standing in front of the Iranian flag.

“The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah’s rescue,” the original tweet that Trump retweeted read Monday. The picture had the caption, “Democrats 2020.”

More evidence that the Democratic party is in a free fall that should be recognized by the citizens of this nation. Just like the Iranians have come around to determine that their leaders are the scum of the earth, we here in the states should make a similar determination as to the Democratic Party that has allowed the Trump syndrome to bring out their lunacy. I hope that the next election will enable the electorate, at least those who are right thinking, and hopefully their is enough of us out there, to remove the Democrats from office and bring this country back from the brink of the abyss!

The demoncrats in congress lack integrity of sufficient quantity to occupy the space available at the point of a needle… they are deranged, demented, morally bankrupt individuals who seek to destroy America from within and those who champion them by voting for them, and contributing to their coffers, campaign efforts and the party in general are every bit as guilty.

The military doesn’t need a special resolution thanking them for doing their job. I hate it when I watch congress making resolutions renaming a bridge or some other meaningless waste of air and they make 20 times the money that I do for sitting on their butt doing nothing. Cruz should have a resolution condemning the Democrats for trying to overthrow an election for over three years now.

They are not “Democrats” anymore: they should be known as “MarxiCrats.” RNOs might as well join them, inasmuch as there is little difference.

I don’t think/hope all the dems are that stupid or unpatriotic, but must have a lot of skeletons in their closets and/or afraid that the party hierarchy will let them out. Some have come out in support of things then all of a sudden change to the party thinking, very strange. Are they being threatened?

Yep, and sadly, they will acomplish it by 2024. The CFR is helping and has been working toward One World Government for more than 50 years and they’re close. When the debt clock reaches $24 TRILLION, this country will collapse and never recover. We’re at $23 TRILLION now and it goes up by the minute. Investing in silver/gold is the only hope Americans have of survival when that happens – and it WILL happen, because the $ will be totally worthless. When Trump signed the first omnibus bill, he said “Never Again!” and he’s signed 2 more SINCE then!! The USMCA will be the final nail in the coffin because it’s 3,000 pages that he hasn’t read, and it contains such gems as OPEN BORDERS. Better prepare, dear ones because it’s coming fast and strong and we can’t stop it.

Both Senators from Mississippi are Republicans, however one Senator from Alabama is Democrat. Senator Doug Jones. He claimed that he is conservative and pro American, yet he stands with the crazy Socialist (Democrat) Party in their antics. He has proven he is no real conservative and is also anti-American. He does not stand with our troops and lets his hatred of our President get in the way. I think he has to run for re-election in 2020 because he won a special election in 2018 to finish Jeff Sessions term. Jeff was supposed to serve until 2020, but he became President Trump’s first Attorney General. Jeff will probably run for Senate again in 2020 and he will certainly beat Doug Jones. We are taking American back piece by piece!
