The hypocrisy of the left continues to amaze. They have always claimed to be the champion of the poor, the minorities, and the working man. In fact, their actions continue to prove otherwise. The poor, which encompass a large portion of the minorities, have been hurt, far more than they have been helped, by the policies and political positions of the Democratic Party. Welfare, ETB cards and “Aid To Dependent Children” (many illegitimate) does nothing to elevate society. The supposed “safety net” has simply become a hammock for too many families, where welfare has become a family tradition rather than a hand up, to help those in temporary distress.
The latest hypocrisy is the demand to remove certain historical monuments and statues because they are “offensive” to a portion of our population, forgetting to realize that they are venerated by another, equally large group. You cannot learn from history by pretending it doesn’t exist. Among the statues the left are demanding to be removed are some of those in the National Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol Building which represent formers members of the Confederacy.
I am growing very tired of the professional race baiters like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others using their platform to continue to stir the caldron of race relations into a frenzy of hate and fear. Blacks are continually told by these agitators that they must fear the very individuals who bring a modicum of safety into their communities. Namely, the police. Blacks are told that whites hate them, and want to “put the chains back on”. Remember who said that? It was the Vice President Joe Biden. Yes, he was referring to the Republicans, but the implication that all whites hate all blacks was what remained in the mind of many in the black community.
Some would call me a racist. Here’s why.
Always just below the surface there is a monster lurking. It isn’t the “Creature From The Black Lagoon”, it’s the paid protesters and anarchists. Who is financing these people? Multi Billionaires like George Soros, the American Communist Party and a host of other left wing individuals and organizations. These people are against freedom of speech, they are against personal liberty and responsibility. They are against our very way of life. They envision a socialist paradise where all people are equal, not in opportunity, but in outcome.
Fourteen dead and over 100 injured, some critically, in Barcelona by Muslim terrorists. The insanity of uncontrolled illegal immigration from Middle East Islamic states has allowed these frightful attacks to happen all over Europe, and there is more to come. Much more.
Racism. Is it only a caucasian phenomenon? I don’t think so. Many races over the millennia have considered themselves superior to others. The Japanese, for centuries prior to World War II indoctrinated their people to believe they were superior to all others. That concept allowed them to perform unbelievably cruel acts against other human beings in their “Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere”. Yellow, brown, black or white, it didn’t matter. Non-Japanese were inferior, and could be treated as sub-human with no rights. In many areas on the African continent, various tribes, such as the Zulu, considered all others to be inferior, worthy of enslavement or extermination. Africans sold other Africans to Arab traders, who then transported them to the coasts where they were put on the block, and sold to whites and non whites alike. The last place on Earth where slavery existed in it’s most brutal form is Africa.
I was listening to a talk show program this morning, and the subject was the demand by individuals in Baltimore, MD that all statues of Confederate generals be torn down as “offensive” to a segment of the population. The riot in Charlottesville, VA which pitted members of the KKK and Neo-Nazi groups against far left groups like “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter over a decision to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee was being discussed, and I was astounded to hear a caller refer to Lee as a “Traitor”.
U.S. Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) who is also the Deputy Chair of the Democratic Committee, made a statement recently that North Korean “Supreme Leader” Kim Jong-un has been more responsible in his recent actions than our President, Donald Trump.
U.S. Representative Kathleen Rice (D-NY) has stated that the National Rifle Association in general, and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch in particular are “Quickly becoming a national security threat”. Rice is on the House Committee on Homeland Security, and is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. This is a woman with considerable power in government. What are these supposedly responsible people thinking?
