We mustn’t be tricked by the headlines. Look deeper. It is as important as ever to understand that Leftism is about power and control. Leftists want to control everything from what you can eat, to where you must go to school, to what you must buy, to how your company manufactures products, to what doctor you may visit and what medical procedures you are eligible for, to what kind of light bulb hangs over your mirror. The entire agenda of the Democrat/Leftists in the United States is about accumulating more and more power over your life.
Leftism is by definition anti-individual freedom.
Leftism isn’t simply about controlling you; it is about making sure no one can ever resist their control. So Leftism is also about gun control. The present quest of the Democrats (and some leftist Republicans) is not motivated out of a concern for the safety of children. If Leftists cared about children, they wouldn’t be so eager to see them killed in the womb. They wouldn’t be pushing anti-family policies which harm children. They wouldn’t be encouraging promiscuity among teenagers. Leftism has never had anything to do with the wellbeing of the people, much less the wellbeing of children. People are mere cogs in the wheel and children are utterly disposable.
If you doubt me, just examine history.
Today’s Democrats adore the Soviet system. When Soviet Leftists rolled their tanks into the Ukraine, what do you think they did with the children of the Kulaks? Those who weren’t exiled to freeze in Siberia were lucky enough to be shot in the head. The rest were starved out by design as Leftists stole all their food and fed their own fat faces in Moscow. 25,000 Ukrainians were starving to death every day and the Leftists had no compassion on them. It was actually illegal to own food, because food was considered property of the Soviet state. Emaciated children, barely clinging to life, were placed by their parents on train cars in desperate hopes that they would be taken somewhere–anywhere–with food.
The Leftists dumped them off in the cities and buried them, whether dead or alive- it didn’t matter. They couldn’t worry about the children because they were preparing for the Soviet empire with its totalitarian control over every aspect of life. That same totalitarianism is the dream of Leftists everywhere.
Power. Control. The eradication of the individual. The deification of the state. With no exaggeration, that’s Leftism, friends.
If you see yourself as a child and big government as Daddy, then this Democrat Party with their gun confiscation dreams is for you. It’s not for me. Long live the right to keep and bear arms!
“Ashamed”? I’m far bolder about my positions now than I ever was. Don’t like the decals on my truck, my t-shirt, my sweatshirt or my baseball caps? I invite you to a “conversation on the issues” - kinda like the one CNN had after the Parkland shooting, only... different.
“Creating a large group of intelligent people with a legitimate grievance is the worst mistake a society can make.” Heretics of Dune.
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side, and you will not get me on your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to me already. A people lives forever. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants however now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community’.”- Hitler at Elbing, Germany, when the Nazi conspirators publicly announced the purposes of their educational and training program.
“The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. *** This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”- Adolph Hitler, 1 May 1937.
“Leftism isn’t simply about controlling you; it is about making sure no one can ever resist their control. So Leftism is also about gun control.”
In a nutshell. MOLON LABE!
“Cold, dead hands” implies that they will never have our conscious consent - ever. This is what galls them.
Yet Hitler, and Nazism was totally and utterly defeated. As will leftism in America be, eventually. When We the Patriots have had enough and start shooting them down like vermin.
That time draws ever closer.
... If they don’t divide us up a million ways first... And grind us off one at a time...
