While I will agree that to call all members of the opposing political party “sinners” is as illogical and untrue as calling them “racists,” that does not mean that Christians cannot or should not call out individual Democrats, or Far Leftists for their individual lies and distortions of the truth.
When I refer to Democrats in my blogs, it is not the Democrat who lives down the street to whom I am referring. I refer always to members of the Left and leaders of the Democratic Party who are abandoning their longtime middle America base to appease the radical Left.
- I call out Ilhan Omar for her false claim that Americans should be more frightened of white men than anyone else because they cause the most deaths in America.
Since around 70% of all Americans are white, you would expect them to have committed the most murders. But in fact: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting shows that, of 11,883 murder offenders in 2017 whose race was known and/or reported, only 5,125 were white. NYPD’s own hate crimes reporting shows that city’s hate crime suspects to be “most frequently black (55.0 percent), white (23.6 percent) or Hispanic (20.0 percent).” Nationwide, blacks account for 21.3 percent of hate crime offenders, still significantly more than their 13 percent population representation.
Forbes’ Dominic Dudley attributed“well over half” of the “18,814 deaths caused by terrorists around the world last year” to “just four groups: Islamic State, the Taliban, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram.” According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, of U.S. killers, 72% had no known political leaning. The remainder was comprised of Islamic extremists (10%), conservatives or Republicans (3%), liberals or Democrats (3%), “right-wingers” (3%), and left-wingers (1%). The last 8% consists of other groups that each account for no more than 1% of shooters. Similarly, few attackers were religious: 68% had no apparent religion, 10% were Muslim, 6% were Christian, and 3% were anti-Christian. Considering that Muslims make up less than 1% of the population but commit 10% of the killings, they remain the most dangerous group of men in the U.S. despite Rep. Omar’s claim to the contrary.
- I also call out Rep. Omar for falsely claiming that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
In fact: This is a ridiculous statement. Israel has in no way hypnotized anyone. Month after month the United Nations condemns Israel for one thing or another, no other country, mind you, only Israel. This week it was for their poor treatment of women (something which the women of Israel will no doubt find amusing!) This resolution coming from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran and other Arab nations where women’s lives are totally governed by the men of their families and where to object, but as simple a thing as refusing to wear a hajib can have a woman imprisoned, tortured, even killed. In addition, “evil” Israel is never aggressive and only uses force when it has been or is imminently to be attacked.
- I call out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for continuing to assert that “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are.”
In fact, the Border Patrol facilities along our southern border are far from being “concentration camps” as anyone who has done any reading or watched any old WWII videos can tell you. Those who come to our “camps,” come there of their own free will. No one ever “chose” to go into a concentration camp. These individuals are fed, given beds, their children are taught, their medical needs are seen to, and no one beats or shoots them. In addition, they may choose to leave at any time, so long as they go south out of the U.S.
In concentration camps, however, multiple people slept on bare wooden bunks designed for one or two and without blankets even in the cold winters of northern Europe. Food was scarce and often moldy or filled with bugs. People were starving. Lice and fleas were a constant annoyance. The prisoners were trooped out to work each day from dawn until dark , and those who could no longer work because they were sick or too weak were often shot or marched into gas chambers. Beatings, rapes, and tortures were common place. No one ever left alive until the camps were liberated by the Allies. Then the scantily clothed prisoners, their fleshless arms and legs shaking with weakness, were taken away from the piles of human bones of other less fortunate prisoners to be fed and nursed back to health. The U.S. does not run concentration camps, Rep. A
OC, and to suggest that it does it a bold-faced lie as well you know!
- I also call out Rep. AOC for her abysmal ignorance. She claimed that the unemployment rate was so low because so many Americans are working more than one job.
In Fact: No more Americans are working two jobs than at any other time in our history. The percentage of multiple job workers has remained about 5% for decades. In addition, unemployment statistics are based upon the number of people applying for unemployment, not the number of jobs that each American holds. One would think someone who had a degree in economics would have known that.
- AOC also claimed that “A 17-year-old can walk into a shop and purchase an assault weapon.”
In fact: In most states a 17-year-old can buy a semi-automatic rifle. But a semi-automatic rifle is not an “assault weapon.” Assault weapons are fully automatic rifles that fire multiple bullets with each trigger pull. Semi-automatic rifles have a magazine that feeds the next bullet into the cylinder so that the shooter doesn’t have to drop the bullet in himself or herself, but every time the trigger is pulled, only one shot is fired. These are NOT assault weapons! No soldier would ever choose to take one of these into battle!
- I call out Adam Schiff for lying when he said that “ample proof of collusion is in plain sight.”
In Fact: Schiff made this particular comment after the Mueller report had come out in which 19 Democratic investigators (who included several donors to Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton herself and Hillary Clinton’s former attorney) were unable to find any proof suggesting that the Trump team had ever colluded or conspired with Russia to steal the election. If you don’t like what a report says, Schiff just says it actually said the opposite. Lying does come so easy to some of these people!
- I call out Rep. Jerry Nadler for falsely claiming that Mueller “told us in a remarkable exchange with [Democratic Rep. Ted] Lieu that but for the Department of Justice policy prohibiting [him] from doing so, he would have indicted President Trump”.
In fact: An obviously befuddled Mueller later corrected his testimony, saying, as was stated in the report, that there was not sufficient evidence to prove obstruction (when a president fired someone who worked for him [FBI Director James Comey] and fumed repeatedly about the investigation into a crime he knew he hadn’t committed but which was taking time and energy from his governing the country). In addition, during an exchange with Rep. Doug Collins (R), Collins asks was “your investigation curtailed or stopped or hindered?”
“No,” Mueller responded.
You can’t get much clearer than that, Rep. Nadler. You lied. Again.
- I call out House Armed Services Committee member Mikie Sherrill, D- N.J., who argued that the Trump tax plan is harmful to her constituents and the American people and Rep. Nancy Pelosi for calling the tax bill a culture-shaking economic Armageddon that would haunt the working class for years to come.
In fact: Even the New York Times wrote that “If you’re an American taxpayer, you probably got a tax cut last year.” Nearly 80% of all Americans saw some tax relief from the bill, most of them in the middle class, the very ones that Democrats continue to argue were hurt by the bill. In addition, the cut in taxes for the wealthy enabled many business to reinvest capital, providing more jobs for Americans. Gary Burless with the Brookings Institute concluded that “In the absence of the tax cut, job growth might have been weaker than what we actually saw.”
- I call out the media and all the Democrats who rushed to call President Trump a racist when he pointed out that instead of shouting at and bullying border patrol officers, Rep. Elijah Cummings ought to be trying to rid his own district of the trash, the rats, and the cockroaches.
In fact: The HUD regional director, Baltimore news personnel, former and current Baltimore residents have ALL agreed that his district is a morass of abandoned buildings, rats, roaches, and uncollected trash. Current residents claim that Cummings has not been seen in their district for a long time, although he also must be aware of the problems. A FOX news crew was even filming the trash piled up when a rat ran through their picture. No one is a racist for calling out a problem, even if the person who should be addressing that problem is a man of color. Truth is truth and with today’s Democrats, “racism” is rarely applied to actual racists or they would have to accuse their own: Ilan Omar, Rashida Tlaid, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and all the others who want “separate but equal” dorms, graduations and ‘safe places’ for black or Muslim students.
*I call out Rep. Cohen and others who call President Trump a “lawless president.”
In fact: It was former President Obama who famously said “We can’t wait for Congress to do its job, so where they won’t act, I will.” He then admitted he couldn’t grant asylum to dreamers and then proceeded to do so. He also famously said he had a pen and a telephone and so he would legislate without the legislature. Indeed, President Trump as well has used the pen of executive order, but most of his have been to rescind executive orders put in place by President Obama which were stifling small businesses and hurting the economy. Everything that Democrats have accused President Trump of doing outside of the law have been determined to be “unlawful” by Democratic judges! When appealed to higher courts and especially to the Supreme Court, the President’s actions have repeatedly been deemed to be within his governing right as president. The “lawless” in this country are the Democrats who have declared “Sanctuary Cities or States” in which the police are forbidden to work with ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens, thus leaving them to prey upon those communities. The “lawless” are those Democratic donors who have aided the caravans of migrants surging to our southern borders and the groups who carefully explain to them along the way just how to circumvent the laws of the United States. The “lawless” are those enter our country illegally and stay, taking jobs from Americans and swelling the rolls of those getting welfare. This president is only “lawless” in their eyes because he believes in upholding the Constitution and our actual laws, not the laws they wish we had!
I could go on and on. Every day some Democrat or perhaps several manage to spout a lie or a misleading statement, all designed to encourage their base and perhaps swing undecided voters to their side. They are encouraged and supported in their lies by much of the media, who have become their propaganda wing. To the rest of us it becomes exhausting and sometimes boring. After all, once you have been called a racist a hundred times or so, it no longer even raises your ire. But we must remain vigilant and not ignore the mistruths on the other side of the aisle. Their sole purpose is to take away the America we love and to turn us into a third world hellhole in which they are in power, and thus immune to the horrors that we will have to live in. Don’t believe me? Ask yourself this: How many homeless are living outside of Nancy Pelosi’s house and defecating on her sidewalk?
