I am astounded that so many Americans accept without question what is said by Democrats, by liberal elites in Hollywood, and by the mainstream media. It no doubt proves the point that if a lie is repeated often enough, people will come to believe it. But it is profoundly discouraging to have the facts, the proof that what you are saying is true, and have the person you are talking to claim she has researched the issue and knows she is correct. . . except that she is absolutely wrong but won’t even look at the proof you have to offer, even if it comes from a liberal site.
The Democratic Party which has swung drastically left in order to keep its fanatic base, has, with the collusion and cooperation of all mainstream media outlets except FOX, embarked upon a determined crusade to lie to the American people, over and over again, while calling Republicans the very things that they themselves have become.
They claim to be the “Party of Science” since Republicans as a whole do not expect the world to end in 12 years as warned by that world-renowned scientist, freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who thinks that unemployment numbers are based on the number of jobs that people are working rather than by the number of unemployed people who are looking for work (catch the word, “unemployed,” Rep. AOC?) . Most ordinary Democrats, sadly, now believe this to be true despite the lack of evidence, despite any believable credentials of the individual who first proposed this Armageddon, and despite the illogic of believing that anyone, even any scientist, could possibly predict the very year in which the world will end. These are the very folk who will laugh and shake their heads at some religious prognosticator who predicts the end of the world (and gets it wrong as they all have). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (an organization whose methods of arriving at some of their predictions have come under much negative criticism from scientists and climatologists around the world) claims that land and ocean surface temperatures have warmed just over 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century. So, according to them, the 60 degree temperatures we suffered for most of early May, should, in fact, have been 1 degree warmer than usual rather than nearly 20 degrees cooler. And if the world is warming at the rate of 1+ degrees per one hundred years, why decide that the world will thus end in twelve?
The carbon dioxide that is the villain in this leftist story, is in fact what makes plants grow as any fourth grade class can tell you. Without it, we have no food and we all die. And as one writer pointed out, if the ice caps melt a bit and the sea rises, we can move inland as populations have done in the past. And if some areas become deserts, other areas that are now too cold to be lived in and farmed will become tillable ground. Historically, mankind has thrived in warmer temperatures and done more poorly in colder temperatures when growing seasons were short, food was scarce, and people frequently died of the cold in winter. But history and facts are ignored by the Democratic leaders because the agenda of the far left is to push climate change as “global warming” that must be defeated by using only expensive, unreliable, and insufficient wind and solar energy.
Democrats claim to be the “Party of Science” but ignore the fact that an embryo, created by a man and a woman is a living human being. Although at the moment of conception, it acquires DNA that is distinctly different from that of either its father or mother, and has a beating heart at about 21 days, many leftists describe it as just a clump of cells, similar to a tumor, a part of the mother’s body, and thus something the mother can dispose of at will. That is obviously contrary to science, yet the left is so concerned that a woman should have the right to kill this growing baby that New York state passed a law allowing abortion up to the moment of birth and Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia described how a baby born alive from an attempted abortion would be kept comfortable while the doctor and mother discussed what to do with him or her. In other words, many Democrats have no problem letting a living baby die simply because its mother doesn’t want him or her. Well, why should that surprise us, since science tells us that abortions are killing a living baby with a beating heart anyway.
The “Party of Science” also ignores that science teaches us that males are born with certain chromosomes and females are born with certain different chromosomes. No hormone therapy or removal of sexual organs will change the DNA. A transgender woman is still a man and a transgender man is still a woman. Regardless of what the left tells us, science tells us that gender is not fluid. Gender is not something that we choose or that our parents choose. It is determined by that distinctive DNA that forms at the moment of conception, making each of us a unique human male or female being. No amount of hype, of threats, of Equality Acts can change that. A transgender woman in the women’s restroom is a man in the women’s restroom, even if he is wearing make-up and has boobs. Any Christian will tell you that God created man and woman, Adam and Eve. Even an atheist scientist (if such exist) will tell you that the male/female determination is made with the chromosomes at the moment of conception. You get what you get, unless you are the new Democratic Party. According to them, although I am a 71-year-old woman of Scandinavian heritage, I can identify as a man. So why not a black, Apache man, aged, oh 28 or so? After all, Elizabeth Warren has been identifying as a Native American for decades! Anything is possible with their faux science!
If you are an ordinary Democrat, the kind that believes that John Fitzgerald Kennedy was one of our greatest presidents, you are not as far left as your party has shifted. You may be feeling some stirrings of unease over the idea of leaving babies to die once they are born, or over the projected costs of the “Green New Deal” and the other things being promised by your presidential hopefuls: forgiveness of $50,000 of college loans for those students who opted for prestigious colleges instead of the state school you or your children attended; Medicare for all which takes away your current insurance coverage and makes it illegal to buy any coverage outside of the system while subjecting you to long wait times and denial of needed surgeries if you are deemed too old; giving everyone a guaranteed salary, even those who choose not to work.
Maybe you need to Google some of the actual science I have discussed in this article, making sure that you read sites other those of the major news organizations who will parrot back the Democratic talking points on these issues. Look beyond those and see if the “science” you have been fed hasn’t been distorted. Then consider: Do you want to live in a world where science is twisted to mean what a tiny percentage of our population want it to mean (transgenders make up around half a percent of the population and other members of the LBGTQ group maybe 3%)? Or do you want to live in a world where real science, the science we have known for decades to be true is acknowledged? But there are other reasons to take stock: the increase in your take home pay from the lower taxes, the millions of jobs that have been created since the start of 2017, the much higher stock market which even with its normal ups and downs has gone from 18,333 on election day when Hilary Clinton was presumed to win the presidency to over 25,000 on May 24, 2019. More black, Hispanics, and women are in the workforce than ever before. In fact, by 2017, women made up 46.9% of the labor force! According to CNN, 71% of Americans think the economy is doing well. An NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist poll found at the end of 2018 that 60% of Americans were optimistic about the future (and that was before many of them realized they had gotten a tax cut). In 2014, under Democratic president Obama, 60% of Americans thought the economy was bad, and 70% thought the country was going in the wrong direction.
President Trump may not be charismatic and likeable. He may be bombastic and sometimes crude. But he is getting the job done for America and America’s working people. Those who run the political parties and the Hollywood stars do not live like we live and do not appreciate us. The attend their private schools, live in their gated mansions, ride in their chauffeur driven cars and distain us as beneath them, despite the fact that most of them are where they are because of us. They only want our votes, our acquiescence to their pet projects, no matter how ludicrous. President Trump, for all his faults, is working for us, the “little” people. To put someone else in office in 2020 will not only load us with more false “science,” tons of regulations and increased taxes, but will put an end to the good life we have lived since Trump’s policies have gone into force. In his bid for reelection in 1944, in the midst of WWII, Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the motto, “Don’t swap horses in midstream.” We could learn from that in 2020. Don’t swap presidents in the middle of a booming economy!
