By now it should be obvious - even to conservatives - that we are in
a war. It is a conflict that began nearly fifty years ago when the
street revolutionaries of the Sixties joined the Democrat Party. Their
immediate goal was to help the Communist enemy win the war in Vietnam,
but they stayed to expand their influence in the Democrat Party and
create the radical force that confronts us today. The war that today’s
Democrats are engaged in reflects the values and methods of those
radicals. It is a war against us - against individual freedom, against
America’s constitutional order, and against the capitalist engine of our
prosperity.
Democrat radicals know what they want and where they are going. As a
result, they are tactically and organizationally years ahead of
patriotic Americans who are only beginning to realize they are in a war.
The Democrats’ plan to steal the 2020 election was hatched many years
ago when Democrats launched their first attacks on Voter I.D.s, and then
every effort to secure the integrity of the electoral system. Those
attacks metastasized into an all-out assault on Election Day itself with
early- and late-voting grace periods, and a flood of 92 million mail-in
ballots, hundreds of thousands of which were delivered in the middle of
the night to be counted behind the backs of Republican observers after
Election Day had passed.
The result of these efforts is that Election Day no longer really
exists as a day when the votes are cast and counted. This is a fact that
offers generous opportunities for the election saboteurs to do their
work. Those saboteurs’ opportunities were greatly enhanced this year
with the installation in battle ground states of voting machines
specifically designed to calculate how many votes were required to steal
an election and then to switch ballots already cast and deliver them to
the chosen party. Mail-in ballots were indispensable to the realization
of this plan.
I will not dwell at length on the years it took the Republican
Party, and American patriots, to recognize what the Democrat Party had
become or the threat it posed to our country as an enemy within. Suffice
it to say that Republicans can still be heard referring to Democrats as
“liberals” when it is obvious even to them that there is nothing
liberal about their principles or methods. They are vindictive bigots
who are actively destroying the First Amendment in our universities, on
the Internet and in our once but no longer free press. Suffice it to
note that while Democrats accuse Republicans including the President of
being racists and traitors, the response of Republican leaders is this:
“Oh, the Democrats are just playing politics.”
This is not “playing” people. It is war. They are trying to kill us
politically, and we need to respond accordingly, to fight fire with
fire. Today’s Democrat Party is a party of character assassins and
racists. Republicans know this but are reluctant to say it. That is how a
pathological liar and corrupt political whore like Joe Biden can accuse
the choice of 73 million Americans of being a white supremacist and
also murdering 220,000 corona virus patients. That’s why Biden and his
gunslingers can do so with no consequences – without so much as a wrist
slap – from “moderates” and independents, who know better. The
Democrats’ ability to intimidate well-meaning Americans is that great.
Is this too blanket a condemnation? Where, then, is the Democrat who
was outraged by the four-year Russia collusion hoax and the failed coup
and impeachment attempts – all of which accused the president, without a
shred of evidence, of treason? Where was the Democrat who dissented
from the public lynching of an exemplary public servant, Justice Brett
Kavanaugh, over an incident that never happened 37 years ago at a time
when he was a high school kid? Where is the Democrat who has condemned
the violent street criminals of Antifa and Black Lives Matter who got
away with conducting the most destructive civic insurrection in American
history, orchestrating mayhem and disrespect for the law that led to
the murders of scores of people who happen to have been mainly black?
What follows is a basic vocabulary for understanding the political
war that has engulfed us. When it is used by enough Americans who love
their country, it will cancel the surreal universe that Democrats’ lies
have imposed on us, and the war will be on its way to being won.
Democrats are not democrats; they are totalitarians. They have
declared war on the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Electoral
College, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the election system, and the
idea of civil order. They have called for the Republican President of
the United States to be de-platformed and jailed. Their obvious goal is a
one-party state that criminalizes dissent. To them, support for such
basic necessities as borders and law enforcement are racist. If
you oppose their efforts to legalize infanticide, they will condemn you
as enemies of women, and if you make videos of their confessions to
selling body parts of murdered infants, they will - like Kamala Harris -
throw you in jail.
Progressives are not progressive; they are reactionaries. They are
out to abolish liberal value systems and create a status hierarchy where
race, gender, and sexual orientation define and confine you to an
unalterable place in their new social order. If you are white or male or
heterosexual or religious – Justice Kavanaugh was all four - you are
guilty before the fact.
But if you are a member of a designated (but increasingly imaginary)
“victim” group you are innocent even when the facts show you are guilty
- like the reprehensible female who lied to Congress in a calculated
attempt to destroy Kavanaugh’s life and career. If you are a member of a
“victim” group you have an unlimited license to persecute others. Thus,
the LGBTQ lobby is currently behind a nation-wide crusade to strip
Christians of their First Amendment rights and criminalize their
religion. They use their victim status to leverage their hate of people
who don’t embrace their agendas, and deploy it to crush them – and only
Republicans seem to care.
Identity politics is a pure form of racism, yet Trump is the only
Republican I’m aware of who has had the political spine to call a
Democrat a racist. Identity “wokism” is a totalitarian politics because
it encompasses every aspect of life, down to the pronouns one is ordered
to use. The progressive police state will leave no space free.
Racists and aspiring totalitarians are what Democrats have become.
The only moral principle they are guided by is the old Bolshevik saw,
“the ends justify the means.” They will say anything however false and
condone anything, however criminal, which advances their goal of maximum
power.
Since race is the principal weapon wielded by Democrats, this is
most evident in their claim that there is “systemic racism” in America,
which needs to be rooted out even if it means destroying the very
foundations of law and order. When two Republican canvassers refused to
certify the election result in Detroit – a city once the richest in
America but now mainly black and poor thanks to fifty-nine years of
misrule by Democrats – they were accused of “systemic racism.” This
charge and the accompanying threats by the Democrat mob were so
intimidating the two withdrew their objections. But if there was in fact
election fraud in Detroit, to object to it is not by any stretch of the
imagination “systemic racism.” To believe otherwise is to believe that
black people, due to their skin color, are incapable of committing
election fraud. How racist is that?
“Systemic racism” is an assertion made reflexively by Democrats that
is never accompanied by evidence. For good reason. Systemic racism has
been outlawed in America since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If there
were actual instances of systemic racism in 2020, there would be
lawsuits – plenty of them. Even making the racist assumption, which the
Identity Politics crowd does make, that all white people are white
supremacists by dint of their skin color, there are tens of thousands of
black lawyers, prosecutors, district attorneys, attorneys general, and
elected officials who would be filing lawsuits over a practice that is
illegal. You never hear of massive lawsuits over systemic racism,
because “systemic racism” is a myth. The myth lives because it is an
indispensable weapon wielded by Democrats to advance their
anti-democratic agendas and quests for power.
But the only reason Democrats are able to do this so successfully –
even going so far as to justify the arson, looting and general
destruction in more than 600 American cities this summer – is because
Republicans, and conservatives generally, are too cowardly to confront
them. This war will continue until patriotic Americans summon the
courage to call Democrats the racists, liars, character assassins and
aspiring totalitarians that they actually are. And to do so in so many
words. Blowback works.
