Bringing Down the Left
American Thinker ^ | July 13, 2016 | Steve McCann

Posted on 07/13/2016 11:30:34 AM PDT by Kaslin

After nearly a century, with the tacit abetting by a feckless Republican Party over the past 30 years, the Left has succeeded in breaking nearly everything in the political china shop. American society is calculatingly in shambles as race relations, ethnic assimilation and religious freedom have been the target of exploitation and condemnation. The economy is mired in a permanent state of malaise as capitalism has been attacked, relentlessly vilified and hamstrung, resulting in a declining standard of living for the vast majority of citizens. A preponderance of two generations of Americans, in an attempt to convert them into foot soldiers for the cause, have been defrauded and deluded as they know nothing of their country’s history and expect as their birthright guaranteed income and a life without adversity.

The Left, by faithfully executing the strategy as laid out by Saul Alinsky, are now the dominant political and social force in The United States. However, the one factor that none of the icons of the American Progressive movement bothered to consider was: what are they going to do with a nation the size and population of a continent, with a long history of independence and free enterprise, once they vanquished an increasingly spineless opposition? They do not know how to be or what to do as the new governing class. They are incapable of governance as they can only oppose, topple and demagogue. Thus, they are destined to fail. Unfortunately, with that failure will come additional suffering, chaos and displacement for the American people.

Ryan, Toad of Soros and Romney, PAID for the takeover
in advance.
Yet, they are called ‘conservatives’.

Ryan is traitor and SHOULD have been removed,
but he is lauded by the GOP, the author of RomneyCARE
and ObamaCARE and death to America by open borders.

To bring down the Left, you must

DEFUND! DEFUND! DEFUND! DEFUND it!!!!!!

Reagan entered his second term with a gameplan to do exactly this. The Left than used Iran-Contra to knock him off his stride, and it never happened.

Generally a good article, but I disagree with two points in particular. The Left has raised generations of America hating leftists who want the complete destruction of the country along with importing millions of illegal aliens who are from dictatorial and corrupt countries. This base will welcome anarchy.

Also, the author thinks the Left will not use the full force of government against Conservatives. I think the Left lusts for the opportunity for a military crackdown on their opponents and the wholesale elimination of segments of the population. Didn’t Saul Alinsky say that killing 25 million people was an acceptable price to pay for a remade America?

Malaise my ass!!!. If it weren’t for the Fed the markets would be toast based on the real metrics that used to matter. Sales, revenues, growth, employment.
We have lies by the media and sounds like the writer is eating some of those lies.
Malaise?????
DEPRESSION!!!!!!!!

What is this “Left”?

Where are they?

All I see is our new royalty.

To call them “the Left” is to swallow their propaganda.

Hillary Clinton does not want to sleep on a cot in the barracks of Turnip Commune #35 after a hard day of picking turnips.

Neither does Joe Biden or John Kerry or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.

They are all phonies who want to establish themselves as our new royalty.

Long live Queen Hillary!

Long live Princess Chelsea!

Thanks, I guess it would be impolite to say they all look/sound alike.

In his,

Letter to Henry L. Pierce and others,

Abraham asserted, "The ideas of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society.(As expressed in the Declaration of Independence)

And yet, he said, "they are denied and evaded, with no small show of success," indicating that those who "evaded" were placing liberty at risk.

"These expressions, differing in form, are identical in object and effect--the supplanting the principles of free government, and restoring those of classification, caste, and legitimacy. They would delight a convocation of crowned heads, plotting against the people. They are the van-guard--the miners, and sappers--of returning despotism.

"We must repulse them, or they will subjugate us.

"This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

"All honor to Jefferson--to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression.

"Your obedient Servant
A. Lincoln--

Total load-O-crap wishful thinking.
The “Left” has only just begun to implement their agenda.
They’ve owned the US for the last 8 years and will probably own the US for the next 80 years.

Considering the Millennial support of Bernie Sanders and their embrace of socialism, the truth is that the US is now, for all practical purposes, a one party state.

Bump for later.

“Establishment” may be an overused word right now, but “institution” is not and they are effectively the same thing right now. Reagan in 1988 said one big job that yet needed to be done was re-taking all of our institutions from the Left. The Left HAS won up to this point and one big area of power is the high ground they occupy in every one of our institutions: government, education, media, arts and entertainment, and even much of religion and business. The Right, especially the Christian Right needs to rise to the top of each area and begin taking over and redirecting toward traditional American values, freedom, and limited, constitutional government.

I do not look to man for this, but God. Our merciful and gracious God in Christ is the reason America came into existence in the first place and He is at work again to restore the Light ordained for America to shine around the world one last time for the next few decades.

The Bible calls Satan the deceiver and weakener of nations and he has done so here, but God is not done with America and the light will shine so bright, Satan will have no choice but to flee. No doubt among other things, we’ll see many leave America and America will be better for it.

We will certainly become a one-party state if Hillary wins this election. She will pack the courts and use the bureaucracy to finish the job Obama started. They’ll flood the country with more illegals and grant citizenship to the ones already here. The younger siblings of the Bernie supporters will start turning 18 and start voting Socialist. We’ll all be wandering in the political desert for a LOOOOOOOONG time.....likely the remainder of my lifetime.

So, tell me again why one should not vote for Trump?

Lastly, do not look to a now discredited Party nor the presumed Republican presidential candidate, who spent the vast part of his adult life as an acolyte of the Progressives, to lead in vanquishing the Left. Neither has the will, inclination or discernment.

Ha, ha,........you can vote for Trump till the cows come home. Vote early and often..........the result will be the same. The Dems are far too practiced at election theft and far too organized in the implementation of it to lose this election for Hillary.

Yes we do, plus we need to stick together. The left sticks together, why can’t we?
