In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” a young girl falls down a rabbit hole and emerges into a fantasy world where playing cards are live, where a rabbit wears a watch and worries aloud about being late, where a blue caterpillar smokes a hookah and talks, and where the Cheshire cat can not only talk, but disappear little by little, leaving only his grin. Long a favorite with children (and their parents), it depicts a nonsensical world where Alice stupidly and repeatedly eats and drinks things which make her grow or shrink in size, and where absolutely impossible things are the norm. This, sadly, is the world that the Democrats live in.
In their world, everyone is concerned about the “armed insurrection” on Jan. 6 by a mostly peaceful crowd of grandmothers and people dressed in horned helmets taking selfies after being allowed inside the Capitol building by the Capitol police. Yes, a few (and now we know the FBI was heavily involved in this “insurrection” as participants and instigators) hit police with the poles from the American flags they carried or sprayed them with pepper spray, and broke at least one window to climb through it. But most did absolutely nothing but walk around and put their feet up of Nancy Pelosi’s desk. Hardly treasonous activity. We also know the conservative men and women among this rag tag “riot” were no doubt the owners of guns – – – at home or in some cases in their cars. But they were deliberately not armed with guns in the Capitol and they shot no one. It was not their intent to harm anyone. Even the FBI, after a thorough investigation, could find no organized conspiracy to overtake the government. A crowd came to protest a questionable election, someone got inside the building, and everyone followed. To believe anything else is farcical. Yet in the fantasy world of the Democrats, this was an armed attempt to overthrow the government (of which President Trump was still the leader) by unarmed Trump supporters, an event more devastating than Pearl Harbor or 9/11!
How absolutely bizarre to live in a world where reality doesn’t exist, where truth is only what someone in your political party tells you it is, never what you see with your own eyes! But that is the world of the dedicated Democrat and this wonderland in which the national Democrat Party now lives is even more crazy than calling a relatively minor riot with no guns (except in the hands of police) a serious attempt to overthrow the government. In the fantasy world of the Democrats, a married couple can consist of two men or two women. Thus, a child can grow up with two moms and no dad, or two dads and no mom. This is both confusing and isolating for children who feel most comfortable when they are “like” their peers, and also provides a home life that, no matter how hard the couple tries, is more likely to turn out children who struggle in school, who struggle with drugs, and who get into crime than children who grow up with one mom and one dad. Multiple studies by pediatricians have shown that children fair best in a home with a man and a woman as mom and dad. But in the rabbit hole world of the Democrats, the children don’t matter as much as the wants and desires of the adults.
In this fantasy world, just as the Cheshire cat could disappear bit by bit, an impossibility in nature, so can a man become a woman if he so chooses or a woman become a man. That this is both biologically and scientifically impossible, matters not one whit to Democrats. In their world, if they say it is true, it is true. And if we disagree, we are haters.
An unborn child, created by two human parents and thus a growing human being, with a heartbeat after only a few weeks, arms, legs, fingers, soon able to feel pain- – – through Alice’s looking glass, this is nothing more than an unwanted clump of cells, to be gotten rid of for the convenience of the mother, with no thought to its father or to the tiny, living human being itself. The Pope may call abortion murder, but in the fantasy world of the Democrats, it is simply a convenience.
Like Alice, the Democrat Party has drunk from a potion and grown, or so they say repeatedly, into the Party that protects minorities, instead of enslaving them. Yet it was not Democrats but the Republican Party that emerged in 1854 to combat the spread of slavery into new territories and states while the Democrats, heavily slave owners or supporters of slavery, pushed for slavery to expand. It was northern Republicans who fought them in the Civil War to end slavery in the United States. And it was the Democrats, not the Republicans, who instituted the hated “Jim Crow Laws” whose very name is vulgarly racist. Republicans pushed through the Civil Rights Act in 1964, but because astutely political Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, signed it into law, blacks suddenly forgot all the years, efforts, and blood that Republicans had spent on their behalf. Blacks still vote mostly for Democrats even when doing so never betters their lives and often makes it worse. This is true especially in large, Democrat-run cities where the authorities won’t even see that the trash is picked up regularly, leaving a growing rat population that has some worrying about a return of the Bubonic Plague.
Democrats often say things to blacks as devastating as the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, who frequently repeated “Off with their heads!” Biden told blacks that if they didn’t vote for him, “you ain’t black!” He also said that “Poor children are just as smart as white children,” suggesting that only non-whites are poor. Blacks are firmly on the Democrat Plantation, children who need to be cared for by their White Democrat betters. In this fantasy world, Blacks are unintelligent, incapable of thinking for themselves, unable to hold down a job, and expected to be pregnant and in need of an abortion if they are female or strung out of drugs and into crime if they are male.
Articulate, intelligent, conservative Blacks are constantly demeaned by their “protectors.” Winsome Sears, a vibrant black woman and daughter of an immigrant, just became the Lt. governor elect of Virginia, and out came the “Off with their heads!” Democrats. They were livid! Joy Reed had Michael Dyson, an ordained minister (though one that God may not be acquainted with), on her show, and he said that Ms. Sears was an example of white supremacy through ventriloquism. “There is a black mouth moving but a white idea running on the runway of the tongue of a figure who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices” he said. Sadly, he has been eating too many of the cakes in Wonderland! Such comments, especially from a black man and agreed to by his black host, Joy Reed, again underline the idea that minorities are only “good” as long as they are Democrats.
Yet, the reality is so different from their fantasy world-view. Blacks are neither stupid, lazy nor incapable of succeeding in this supposedly “white supremacist” world. Look at Colin Powell, general and Secretary of State; Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State; Ben Carson, world-renowned brain surgeon, presidential candidate, and Secretary of HUD; Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas; Robert Abbott, who founded the Chicago Defender newspaper; writers Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison to name only a few; actor Sidney Poitier and comedian Richard Pryor; Shirley Chisolm, the first black woman elected to Congress; Benjamin O. Davis, Sr., the first black army general who served during WWII; jazz musician Duke Ellington and trumpet player and singer Louis Armstrong; singers Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson; Katherine Johnson, a mathematician and physicist who helped launch the first use of digital electronic computers at NASA; Martin Luther King, Jr. without whom the Civil Rights Movement would not have progressed in the mid 1960s; billionaires Jay-Z, Tyler Perry, Kanye West, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, David Stewart, and Robert F. Smith; and of course, President Barack Obama. And no, this is by no means scratches the surface of the long list of all of the Blacks who have done wonderful things in life, nor does it count the black teachers, nurses, firefighters, EMTs, CEOs, small businessmen, PTA presidents and more.
But in the rabbit hole world of the Democrats, Blacks are incapable and oppressed. And only the Democrats can save them, they say. But this is the rabbit hole where nothing is as it seems, and so of course, while most Blacks still vote election after election for Democrats, their lives are never improved. Once the election is over, they are forgotten about, unless they become conservative voices of reason and then it is “Off with their heads!” yet again.
In the fantasy world of the Democrats, you can print money and more money and give it to people who are not working, thus removing their reason to take one of the millions of jobs begging for workers. You can increase the amount of dollars given as a child tax credit to each family and just tax the wealthy (and eventually the middle class) for the rest. You can open our southern border and allow everyone who arrives to enter the country, give them housing, food, free education for their children, and perhaps poorly paid jobs cutting the grass and dusting the homes of the wealthy Democrats on the West Coast. Then, although the Obama/Biden administration did it first, you can gather all the illegal immigrant families who were separated at the border by law during the Trump administration as the Border Patrol tried to determine if the man with the three kids was really their father or instead a human trafficker, and give each member of each separated family a check for $450,000 while American families struggle to put food on their own tables with rising inflation. But in the crazy world of the Democrats, actual American citizens have no rights. Only illegals do.
And then too, in their rabbit hole world, money isn’t real. According to the President, we can spend $1.75 trillion dollars without spending a penny. Really! $1.75 trillion dollars-worth of free stuff and green stuff that AOC and her crowd want will cost the country zero! If I spend a dollar, it costs me a dollar. But then, I haven’t dropped down the rabbit hole!
In the made-up, fantasy world of the Democrats, everything is as they want it to be. Nothing that they don’t like is real. Thus “follow the science”. Doesn’t mean “follow the real science,” but rather “follow what I have made up and called science.” Actual science is ignored. Climate change (along with transgenderism) is a fine example of this. Scientists all over the world have pointed out that many things determine the change in the earth’s climate, from volcanic action, to sun spots, to the release of lava from shifting plates on the ocean’s floor. The burning of fossil fuels is only one of the factors, and a minor one at that. A look at the history of this climate change fiasco will point out the problems. In the 1970s scientists warned of a coming ice age as winters were frigid with sub-zero temperatures and heavy snows. But strangely, by the 1980s, there was a total switch and we were then warned of global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer. By 2006, Al Gore had published a book called An Inconvenient Truth (which was inconveniently not true at all) in which he warned of temperatures rising so rapidly that the polar ice caps would melt, putting our coastal cities underwater and leaving “millions” of people homeless in the near future, and that polar bears would become extinct. Fifteen years later cities are not underwater and polar bears in most locations are growing in number. From the 1970s on, climate alarmists’ predictions and computer models have been wrong time after time after time. They even gave up on the name “Global Warming” because we kept seeing extremely cold and snowy winters. So calling it “Climate Change” covers all their bases. If it rains, it is Climate Change. If there is drought, Climate Change. Cold weather, heat, storms or no storms, it is all Climate Change. But in Wonderland, wrong is right and right is wrong and what you want to believe (if you are a Democrat) is true whether it is or not.
Alice wakes up from her visit to Wonderland which turns out to have just been a dream. But whether the Democrat Party will wake up to reality is doubtful. Despite the Republican sweep in Virginia, Florida which is now a deep red state, Pennsylvania which is trending red, and other places, they have already doubled down on their expensive and ruinous plans to pass more of the green deal in the “Build Back Better” plan. Biden has not been president* for an entire year yet, and the country is in shambles. His poll numbers are sinking faster than the Titanic. Yet they press on with plans to stop the use of another pipeline, and to go ahead with vaccine mandates driving more workers out of jobs despite a court ruling questioning its constitutionality. Perhaps Democrats have fallen into a dream world from which there is just no waking up.
