Blog #157 Lunacy of Democrat-Socialist Spirals Out of Control
The Lunacy of Democrat-Socialists Spirals Out of Control
John Shoemaker
The “left-liberal, democratic socialists” are more radical and moving farther left to touch the Communist side of governance.
It seems incongruent with our history of democracy, republicanism, capitalism, and free markets.
The United States has established a track record of wealth, personal freedom, innovation, and business dominance unparalleled in the history of human development. Apparently, certain segments of our society know nothing of poverty, war, shortages, and hardship. Instead, the arrogant, privileged few want something for nothing. Then there are the non-citizens expecting to be treated like valuable guests with free stuff.
Maybe America has become too prosperous, too successful, and too easy.
Yet, it is all being rejected by the democrat-socialists in favor of a profound change to create a welfare state, increased government involvement and control in citizens’ lives, and a very different view on many social issues, from crime and the rule of law, to border protection, social support programs, government dependency, and capitalism.
We want a luxury concierge society?
As a result, Trump has brought many of the differences – insane policies for most of Americans - into sharp focus:
- Defund Police, no cash bail, criminals are victims, prisons are onerous, and liberal interpretation of established laws protects criminals without concern for real victims.
- Non-Peaceful protests like Hamas’ antisemitism, and demonstrations by BLM, ANTIFA, and other aggressive left activists from LA to NYC.
- The grooming of our children by educational institutions at all grade levels with sympathy for socialism and social programs for every type of person and reason.
- Acceptance of criminal and terrorist activity as somehow virtuous based on their good intentions, which includes tolerance for horrific gang members like MS-13 and Tren de Aqua.
- Gender care that allows gender changes for children without parents’ permission.
- Transgender men in athletic competition with women and acceptance in female bathrooms. Tampons in school boys’ toilets.
- Government welfare and free services from healthcare to food distribution, from free housing to income redistribution, teachers’ union control of schools free from parental concerns, government-designated wages despite financial sensibility, and so much more.
- Trump is an existential threat to Democracy and is a dictator like Hitler and an agent of Putin’s Russia.
- Another existential threat to humanity is climate change. We are on the precipice of irreversible extinction if we don’t declare war on oil & gas.
Yes, Government is the answer for all people’s needs, wants, and ills. The bigger, the better.
None of it aligns with the traditional common sense we have considered responsible for centuries.
Supporting this insane movement to radical governance ideologies is the recent four-year term of President Biden. Consider his leadership allowed:
- Unvetted admission of millions of migrants without concern and without financial resources or skills to avoid dependence.
- Pardoning thousands of criminals in prison and doing it by AutoPen for past and potential future criminal activity.
- Ignoring the dementia signs of our President who had obvious cognitive and competency problems.
- The discovery of cocaine in the White House
- Nearly unrestrained acts by protesters who committed violent acts, arson, theft, monument desecration, and even murder without accountability.
- DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) was nothing more than legalizing discrimination and was the use of “quotas” – all against existing law – put people in jobs who were not fully qualified. (Instead of MEI = Merit, Excellence, Innovation.)
- Treating illegal aliens (the government's definition) as victims and worthy of benefits not allowed for citizens.
- ICE is considered a bunch of terrorists, and like Hitler’s storm troopers. Democrats demand that they not wear masks, even as protestors and criminals wear masks.
- Having the Dept of Transportation spend $50 Billion, or half its budget, on DEI grants instead of fixing our bridges, roads, and airports.
- Designating selected highways as “racist highways.”
- We had an overweight transgender man as an Admiral in charge of our health and a gay radical in charge of nuclear waste in the DOE while stealing women’s clothes in luggage at airports. Biden did not know his DOD Secretary was in the hospital for days. Unelected bureaucrats were writing and implementing policy for the President.
The examples are almost endless, especially those actions at the State level.
So, what are we to think?
To quote Meranda Devine:
“America deserves better than the degenerate propaganda machine that passes for “elite” journalism. We deserve better than the evil “cracked-out clown car” the Democratic Party has become.
“The New York Times and the Washington Post all but ignored DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell press conference Wednesday, at which she announced that she had sent criminal referrals to the DOJ and FBI implicating former President Barack Obama and his national security team in the “seditious conspiracy” of the Russia collusion hoax.”
“No wonder their party is a shambles: “Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided,” wrote veteran Democratic strategist James Carville in the Times this week, warning of an impending “civil war” between whatever is left of the moderate rump and the parasitical radical faction that is sucking the party dry.”
The real result has been the complete loss of credibility of the Main Media, the loss of trust in our institutions, including the DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, State Dept., and FDA, and the deepening division being sustained by socialist-communist ideals against our traditional free market capitalism.
Russia could not be more pleased.
China, too, continues to exploit us in more ways than Congress can count.
Our current time is being profoundly affected, in real terms and at a rapid pace, by Trump. The real war is about policies for governance. We must not allow the infection to spread with Islamic influence, terrible business practices, negative attitudes against achievement, capitalism, pioneering spirits, and self-reliance.
To that effort, we must have the reckoning given a start by Tulsi Gabbard. The DC Democrats have proven to be anti-democratic, conniving, greedy, hypocrites who invented lawfare and social chaos on levels not seen since the race riots of the 1960s-70s. The discord was enabled by the very top echelon of our government and President Obama himself.
Buckle up, we are now in for another massive round of domestic disharmony and scandals including Obama/Democrats’ role in the Russia Collusion Hoax supported by the fake Trump Dossier, the role of the FBI, the AutoPen debacle with thousands given pardons and Executive Policies not necessarily approved by the President, the massive waste, fraud, abuse of Federal Agencies like USAID and NGOs, and the lingering effects of illegal criminals and their deportations in the hundreds of thousands.
And then there is the International situation involving multiple wars, defense treaties, famine, religious oppression, criminal greed, drug cartels, and social rebellion.
We can only pray that Trump can maintain his health while aggressively attacking all these issues at a level not seen in decades.
Nothing is easy.
