U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., addressed the Blount County Conservative Coalition at the Blount County Public Library on Monday, Oct. 18, 2021, and "decried vaccine mandates and Democrats he said were trying to end "our" way of life."

"Our nation is in a terrible struggle for survival right now," Burchett said. "Our way of life, our very foundation, is under attack by the left. It is nothing short of spiritual warfare."

Burchett went after Democrats on several fronts, including proposed vaccine mandates, infrastructure and public education.

"I stated the other day — and it caused a little firestorm on Twitter, which I said it to do just that, but it is the truth — I said 'you know, we ought to do away with the Department of Education,'" Burchett said to thunderous applause.

A discussion on election integrity grew heated.

And then...

"I'm telling you, it's almost to arms. The people are ready to take up arms!" Blount County Commissioner Steve Mikels said. "On Jan. 6, we tried that. I was there! You know who was there? There was women and children. And they want to call us terrorists? Domestic terrorists?"

What is wrong with Burchett, Mikels, and their supporters? They can't handle and admit to a fair election just because their candidate did not get elected. As a result they want to destroy our country and the great society we have built. They do love to stir up their 30% on the Twitters.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
