I wonder if his bio contains details of the drug resistant case of rectal syphilis he contracted at that bath house a few years back.

The adoration begins. The media is in full election mode. Their solemn duty is to create a suitable image for a Democrat candidate and to trash Republicans.

They created an image for Bammy of an intelligent, committed Christian who loves this country and Whites. If they can do that they can transform a clown into a wise genius.

This is the beauty of the leftist Dems’ strategy. The Dems’ “Resistance” is creating chaos and people are tired of the constant fighting and drama, so the Dems/media tell people to elect a Dem and then the chaos, drama and shouting will cease. It’s totally cynical, but brilliant because they can get away with it because the media is on their side and will never expose “the Resistance” as the instigators of all the needless drama over the past two years.

Chip Off the Ol’ Eastern Bloc: Pete Buttigieg’s Dad Was a Marxist

I was baffled last week by Pete Buttigieg’s definition of “freedom,” which was eloquently stated, rousingly received, and 100% incorrect. To him, any adversity you face in life makes you less “free.” To him, being “free” means the government taking care of you from cradle to grave. As a fellow Hoosier, I was taken aback by how much Mayor Pete sounds like a damn communist.

Turns out there’s a very good reason for that! Emily Larsen and Joseph Simonson, Washington Examiner:

The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.

Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.

People keep calling Beto “the white Obama,” but Pete is the one with a commie college-prof dad.

...Sounds like a chip off the ol’ Eastern Bloc to me. He’s basically a younger, more polished version of Bernie Sanders. That’s what the kids are into these days, right?

I assume whoever the Dems nominate will get steamrolled on E

His father translated an edition of Gramsci’s “Prison Notebooks”.

Gramsci’s signature concept is the gradual infiltration and subversion of Western societies, to eventually impose communism - his decades long strategy of the so-called “March through the Institutions”.

Buttigieg spent most of his life trying to get men/boys to bend over

My exact thought, this is the candidate. They hope he will get by as Bozo got by: people proving they are not homophobic by voting for Deviant.

“Buttigieg detaches progressive policy from the culture war.”

Progressive policies IS the definition of culture war.

As for me, I could NEVER vote for a practicing homosexual with a “husband”.

He’s not a serious contender just because the NYT says so. Dont let ‘em hypnotize you.
He’s raised $7 mil since January? That’s not much, especially considering he’s stumping in gay strongholds.

and Pete seems like a sharp guy who knows that frightening the general public with openly radical theories is not the way to get votes.
