Mark Levin: Maybe We Should Use the Left’s Defunding Strategy
CNS News ^ | 7/8/20 | Bailey Duran

Posted on 07/09/2020 12:40:56 AM PDT by conservative98

The political right needs new strategies “and we ought to steal them from the left," conservative radio host Mark Levin said on “The Mark Levin Show” Tuesday.

Levin discussed leftist policies he deemed anti-American, as well as the faction's move to defund police. He also suggested that the president needs more authority to help counter the ideals of the left in the cities it runs.

Mediavine “As it is now, the president has to ask the mayor, ‘you need help?’” Levin said. “‘No, I’m doing fine destroying our city. I’m doing fine sitting on my fat ass while little kids are being murdered. I’m doing fine, butt out, dictator!’ Right?"

Levin then proposed that cities who are defunding police and not allowing children to go to better schools “should be defunded in every other respect.”

He also said he is sick and tired of “watching the police across this country having to take it in the chin.” Levin went on to say he was “sick and tired” of millionaire athletes and celebrities, the media, and Democrats trashing the conservatives in America.

“It is time to take it to them,” he said.

Mediavine Below is a transcript of this portion of “The Mark Levin Show”:

“If they’re going to destroy our society, if they’re going to destroy our police force, if they’re going to destroy law and order in our courts, if they’re going to destroy our neighborhoods and our families, if they’re going to turn the other cheek while little babies are being shot, if they’re going to embrace Black Lives Matter—a Marxist, anarchist, anti-Semitic, anti-American organization—if they’re going to turn the other cheek when the military wing of the Democrat party, Antifa, is hurting people, destroying businesses, then I think we need to have a little bit of fundamental transformation of our own, ladies and gentlemen.

Mediavine It may be a Republican president—particularly this Republican president—needs more authority to reach into the neighborhoods, to reach into the classrooms which have been taken over by the left, by the NEA, by the instrumentalities and surrogates of the Democrat party anyway, and fix things.

As it is now, the president has to ask the mayor, ‘you need help?’ ‘No, I’m doing fine destroying our city. I’m doing fine sitting on my fat ass while little kids are being murdered. I’m doing fine; butt out, dictator!’ Right?'

And so we need new strategies. And we ought to steal them from the left! The defund movement. Mayors and governors who are not going to protect the people in their cities, who are not going to back our police forces, who are not going to keep criminals in jail, they should be defunded in every other respect.

Mayors and governors who are not going to allow little kids in the inner cities to go to better schools, instead they go to the government school that happens to be down the street, in a government building, whether they like it or not—maybe they should be defunded!

I’m into this defunding movement, since the left gets a hell of a lot more money than the right. And maybe the funds they get should be tied to certain requirements.

I am sick and tired of watching the police across this country having to take it in the chin. I am sick and tired of hearing multi-millionaire athletes, multi-millionaire people in Hollywood, tenured Marxist professors, clowns in the media, clowns that run the Democrat party—I am sick and tired of them trashing us and smiling at us, knowing, ‘ooh they can’t do anything anyway; we run the cities.’

It is time to take it to them, to take it to them.”

Start by de-funding all 'non-profits'... then remove their tax benefits. This is the source of their power - and they don't do crap for people or cities.

If teachers refuse to return to public schools, GET RID OF THEM. Leave the public schools closed and abandoned.

America has plenty of patriots willing to teach its young people the basics. We don’t need Leftist teachers and their propaganda. We don’t need their buildings. Children can be taught in homes, churches or alternative buildings.

It is long past time for Americans to TAKE BACK CONTROL OVER THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION. These Marxists need to be thrown out so we can save our children and their future.

None of those should have been funded by federal tax monies in the first place.

Federal Government is way outside its consitutional bounds.

Here in NC, there is a huge surge in homeschooling. The state has a website where parents can register their intent to homeschool. It has been down for the last week or so, allegedly because the demand is overwhelming the servers. I am wondering if the state isn’t just trying to stem the tide.

Defund Burn Loot Murder. Follow the money & shut down the pipeline. Use cell or video to track down those looting, rioting & assaulting people. Arrest them & throw the book at them.

Defund public and private universities who have broken federal and their own state laws(where state laws coincide with federal laws) . Also if monetary fraud is found (prosecute the perps and fire them).You can get them easily on hiring and firing practices and first amendment rights also.

my sense from wandering around san francisco is that leftist community agencies got a windfall of funding sometime before 2010— exactly where and when is not yet clear to me. but around 2010, i saw a considerable number of brick and mortar offices of leftist community organizations with no visible means of support. where did the money come from? the significance to me at least was that such funding allowed a considerable number of so called community organizers places in which to hang their career hat. then they could go out and introduce themselves as legitimate employees or owners of leftist outreach businesses and from that launching platform, do untold amounts of propaganda mayhem in local communities. i was not against freedom of speech but something just did not smell totally right about it. in my limited prior experience, those organizations were always limited to college campuses, and their political toxicity was extinguished once it came into contact with the real world of work and finance outside of the university. that seemed about right to me. so by 2010, something seemed to upset the natural balance...
