Leftists Threaten Democracy, Not Trump.
Townhall ^ | 16 Jun, 2018 | John Dempsey

We hear it every day from the left. “Trump is attacking our democracy!” It’s like a leaky faucet. Drip. Drip. Drip. By now, you have probably tuned it out. Since Hillary conceded the election, the left and the media has beaten the Russia drum daily. They push the narrative that President Trump and his campaign colluded with the Kremlin to win the election, even after Obama said there was no wayRussia could interfere with our voting machines. The left should reevaluate their cries for a destroyed democracy, especially since they are the ones who are attacking it directly.

The Internal Revenue Service is a powerful government entity. They have the power to seize your business, home, or any other property for just not paying them. In 2010, the Tea Party came into existence. It wasn’t a political party per se, but it was still a threat to the left. The IRS tookit upon themselves to stop them.

The leftists I know don’t even see the disconnect between their beliefs and the Bill of Rights.

The left lies and distorts reality so much I want to jump through the tv screen and beat them. They define the word scum.

It makes sense.

The Left has labored long and hard to supplant a Republic of Law with an Arbitrary government based on the traditions of the Court and what government has gotten away with to date.

Their attachment to democracy only hides their contempt for that selfsame Republic that could not do what they thought it should and the Law they felt no compulsion to even try to amend so what they think is necessary might also be proper.

But if they ever achieve the submergence of the nation into greater international federation you can bet Euros to Brit Biscuits that their attitude will mirror that of the EU technocrat who said people voting on being in said union is against everything it stands for.

Isn’t it ironic that Chris Cuomo’s special is called “Inside Evil.” Like an autobiography.

Leftists love democracy.

Especially Soviet style democracy.
Where everyone must vote or else.
For the one and only candidate the party puts forth.

See? everybody gets to vote.

Apt comments on the despicable efforts to destroy our heritage and the great benefits of once living in a Federation of liberty loving peoples.

The Left has no viable argument in logic for what they seek to impose. They have no respect for truth or logic. Virtually every issue is approached with deliberate misdirection away from the actual causation of whatever they demonize and attack. (See Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic.)

Consider, also, some of the specific efforts to destroy our political, social & material achievements:

Diversity In Context

Surrender By Subterfuge

And contrast the factually clear vision of the Founders of the America, achieved in the Revolution:

America: Based On Experience & Reason

We know the LEFT lies and distorts reality. But I dont feel like jumping through the tv screen because I dont let the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL in my home. I refuse to fund the LEFT.

Why would you pay for a crap sandwich?

It's truly extraordinary when you consider how deeply convinced they are of their own beliefs. In addition to your observation many on the left think Orwell's 1984 is a warning about what Conservatives want to happen.

They fight for intolerance by being intolerant.

They fight against racism by being Racist.

They proclaim truth in science by proclaiming a consensus in science and shutting out skepticism.

They will tell us that gender is fluid but that homosexuals are born that way.

The left has long been immune to their own hypocrisy which is something that has taken me a very long time to understand.

Logic and reason are secondary to their emotional needs and desire to create a safe space where they won't be forced to think, forced to do the math or take a stand on anything other than uncertainty.

I think it is a part of the eternal battle between good and evil. Evil will never be gone.
