I have serious problems with the Democratic Party in particular and with liberals in general.
- Democrats still want to keep blacks enslaved.
Democrats were the party that fought a Civil War to keep blacks as slaves on southern plantations, then kept them from their equal rights under the law after emancipation by passing the infamous “Jim Crow” laws that relegated them to separate schools, waiting rooms, rest rooms, and even water fountains. And the Civil Rights Bills of the 1960’s were passed solely by Republicans over the objections of Democrats who still sought to deny the equality of Black Americans. And Democrats, despite their repeated professions of love for Black Americans, are still trying to keep them enslaved in poverty, as dependent upon the Democrats as they ever were upon their slave masters for food and housing. The poorest Blacks in America live in cities like Chicago, Washington D.C. and Baltimore, which have been run by Democrats for decades. They are encouraged to fear the police who are their only protection against the gangs that run rampant in their neighborhoods.
And the police are prevented from cleaning out the illegals guns that kill the innocent in those same neighborhoods by the liberals who call programs like New York City’s “Stop and Frisk” as racially motivated and disrespectful of the rights of individuals who are stopped. Does it occur to anyone that the police are hardly likely to stop and frisk the mother with the baby or the grandmother with her bag of groceries? They will stop the young toughs that they know have had guns in the past or who wear the tats of gangs. Does anyone really NOT want their guns taken away? It seems the Democrats don’t. They may want guns taken away from NRA members, but to stop and frisk a known gang member and confiscate his gun. . . that is a gun ban that Democrats just can’t swallow.
Education Secretary Betsy De Vos wants to allow families in those poor black communities the right to send their children to mostly white schools in the suburbs where they might actually get an education and the chance to pull themselves out of poverty. But the Democrats are against that. They need black voters poor and dependent and believing that Republicans only want to take away their food stamps and let them starve. Which brings me to my second point.
- Democrats lie.
Democrats lie constantly about President Trump and about every move that he has made to make life in the United States easier and better for Americans. They called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Sct “Armageddon” and claimed it would raise taxes on middle class Americans and only help the rich. In fact, it is the rich elites on the coasts, the staunch base of the Democratic Party, who saw their taxes go up since they can no longer deduct their hundred thousand dollar mortgages and their high state taxes on their federal return. For Normal Americans, the tax bill has put money in our pockets, raised wages, and in many cases provided wondrous bonuses of up to $3000!
Democrats lie about HUD Secretary Ben Carson’s new housing program, saying it will put elderly people out into the street when in fact, it will incentivize able-bodied people to get job training, get jobs, and then have three years of work before their housing subsidies are re-evaluated. The elderly and the handicapped are not affected at all, as the Democrats well know.
Democrats lied during the Obama administration about a myriad of things including keeping your doctor and health plan with Obamacare, about the cause of the attack on Bengahzi, about the IRS targeting of conservative groups which kept many of them from becoming politically active during Obama’s bid for re-election.
Liberals also lie about the facts behind the “climate crisis” in which the world supposedly finds itself. They claim that nearly all scientists agree that the emission of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is causing the extreme warming of the earth. That is a lie on several counts. First, a growing number of scientists are speaking about the inaccuracies of the “computer models” which predict this coming apocalypse. Secondly, many of the proponents of this crisis theory have “cooked the numbers” to make it appear that the earth is warming more quickly than it is. Third, the carbon dioxide that is produced by fossil fuels is what enables crops to grow and greatly reducing it could cause unanticipated consequences in food production. And finally, the earth has not warmed as greatly as they claim and historically, humankind prospered more during hot periods on earth than they did during cold periods. Those who have disagreed with climate change, or with other liberal ideologies, have often found themselves out of work.
- Liberals demonize and silence their opponents rather than enter into debates with them because they fear the truth that will prove their ideas to be flawed.
During the Obama administration, anyone who voiced any objection or criticism of something that President Obama had done was immediately labeled by the press and members of his administration as being “racist.” It was impossible to hold a view contrary to his without being vilified for doing so. Now, President Trump, because he won the election, has also been labeled a racist and all of his supporters, all the millions of people who voted for him, of every color, have been labeled racist as well. Support free speech? You are a racist and a fascist. (Strangely enough, fascists never supported free speech, but then, what is a little question of historical accuracy?)
Believe that the Bible says marriage should be between a man and a woman? You are homophobic! Do you believe that when a baby’s heart begins to beat, he or she is a living human being that should not be murdered? Then you are intolerant and a hater of women and women’s rights! And furthermore, you are endangering the health of the mother who, after all, might die during childbirth! (Never mind the child that dies during abortion!) Do you believe that God created man and woman and that your sex is determined at birth by your DNA? Then you are again, homophobic, intolerant, hateful, and abhorrent to the ever-powerful LGBTQ community who make up less than one percent of the American population but manage, with the help of liberals, to bully the other 99% of Americans. Do you believe, as did Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., that individuals should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? Then again, you are racist. According to liberals, you must accept that if you are white, you were born with “White privilege” that you must somehow atone for, even, one black politician suggested, by willing your home to African-Americans when you die, and in the meantime, giving up your chance at a job or a spot in college to an African-American even if he or she is less qualified than you are.
- Liberals claim to be inclusive and tolerant, but they are in fact bigoted.
Democrats claim to include everyone, blacks, Hispanics, the LGBTQ community, and illegal immigrants. But they try to keep oriental Americans out of colleges because they take spaces that Democrats feel should go to blacks, no matter how less qualified they may be, and they refuse to accept or listen to conservatives and especially Christians. Christians, they believe, are intolerant and maybe even a little crazy because they have a defined set of morals in which they believe and from which they will not deviate. And after all, they believe in God, talk to Him, and believe that He talks back to them through the Bible and the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives. They try to silence conservative speakers on college campuses and conservative campus organizations. If they don’t like what an individual is saying, it is called “hate speech” and is censored. This is not tolerance. This is totalitarianism. This is what Nazi Germany, and the communist U.S.S.R did. This is not American!
- Liberals have no defined right and wrong.
Liberals fear Christians and Jews above all others because we have a defined, never-changing moral guideline set forth by God. What was sin in the time of Abraham or the time of Jesus is still sin, no matter how accepted it might now be by an irreligious society. This is not the case for liberals. Marriage between homosexuals was “wrong” even to liberals during the Clinton administration when President Bill Clinton signed the “Defense of Marriage Act.” But under the administration of President Obama, gay marriage was suddenly “right.” Right and wrong change with the ever-changing world, liberals argue. We become “enlightened” and realize that what we once thought to be wrong is really right. They might try to use slavery as an example, but of course, many Americans always believed slavery to be wrong, so that example really does not work. But today, gay marriage, transgender children, bisexual . . . all manners of sexual practice and change, no matter how contrary to science. . . is now “right.” When, one wonders, will pedophiles become accepted as just another sexual “choice” and LGBTQ become LGBTQP?
- Liberals are not only intolerant and bigoted, they are also hateful and crude.
This should be obvious. Most of us would agree that those who lie and who intimidate others are certainly not nice, but liberals and many Democratic leaders go even farther, using profanity and crudity to attack those they disagree with.
For example:
From virtually the moment of his inauguration, Representative Maxine Waters has repeatedly and publicly urged the impeachment of President Trump. For what reason? Who needs a reason! Just impeach him!
Fresno State Professor Lars Maischak tweeted that President Trump “must hang.”
At news of former first lady Barbara Bush’s death, Randa Jarrar, a professor also at Fresno State University tweeted that Barbara Bush was a “generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal.” She concluded, “F**k outta here with your nice words.”
Brandon Wolf, a guest on Joy Reid’s show said “If Mike Pence, God bless him, ended up in the White House, sitting behind that desk in the Oval Office, he would have us all in concentration camps hoping to pray away the gay.”
Samantha Bee delivering a prepared monologue on her program Full Frontal spit out, “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c—! He listens to you! Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to f—ing stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes,”
Michelle Wolfe, hired to “entertain” at the White House Press Dinner, delivered a long diatribe about White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders who was sitting just a few feet away from her including the words “Like, she burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she’s born with it; maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”
And at the Tony Awards, Robert de Niro said, “I’m just going to say one thing. F*** Trump! F*** Trump!” Pretty classy, right?
So those are my basic problems with liberals and why I am a conservative. It is not because I don’t care about pollution or about the earth, but rather that I want to evaluate all sides of the climate change controversy before making up my mind. Liberals don’t want to see anything that disagrees with their theory.
Republicans on the whole, do not lie about what Democrats are doing in government. Everything that Republicans said about the Affordable Care Act was, in fact true. While some Republicans are no doubt as crude and hateful as many liberals, they are not the rule but the exception. No Republican called either of President Obama’s daughters a c***. No Republican got on a stage and shouted “F*** Obama!” to delighted applause. Republicans try to lift people out of poverty, not keep them in it in order to preserve them as a frightened, needy voting block. Republicans believe that every American should have a shot at the “American Dream” of success, in whatever form that might take. We believe that Americans are indeed endowed by our Creator with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and we do our best to see that all Americans, regardless of color or beliefs are assured of those rights. Democrats, on the other hand, want to take rights away from Americans and put those rights in the hands of the government to be doled out as the government sees fit. That is not the American Dream. That is socialism, and socialism has failed everywhere that it has been tried in the world. And if the Democrats have their way, socialism will fail here as well.
