When Resistance Became Sedition and Sedition Became Resistance
Republicans failed to punish Obama’s national security abuses. Biden’s abuses will be worse.
In 2008, “dissent” went from being the “highest form of patriotism”, a quote by Communist revisionist historian Howard Zinn that Democrats falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson, to treason when George W.

Black Lives Matter riots had besieged the White House and set fire to its guardhouse, while still being defended by Democrats and the media as peaceful protesters.
