Tea at Trianon: Rashida Tlaib is Putting Terrorists Before Americans

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Rashida Tlaib is Putting Terrorists Before Americans

From Right Flank:

Towards the end of September, Tlaib took to X, decrying the US government’s decision to send arms to Israel. Branding Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war criminal,” the congresswoman said America has failed to advance peace due to aiding Israel’s self defense.
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Here’s the reality: Tlaib and others like her don’t want peace. They just want Israel to be completely wiped off the map.They want terrorist organizations like Hamas to win in the Middle East before forcing the rest of the world to abide by the tenets of Sharia Law.
