Before the invention of devices which could detect a deadly buildup of poisonous gasses in a coal mine, miners would routinely carry a caged canary with them when they entered the mine.  If the bird died, it was an early warning to escape before they were overcome by the gas or a deadly explosion occurred.

That practice coined a popular metaphor:  “The Canary In The Coal Mine”, to indicate someone or something that is an early warning for trouble or danger.  In the opinion of many, myself included, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is  just such a warning.

“AOC” is a classic example of what many of our educators have been producing for a very long time.  Simply put, they are people who disparage our system of government and the American way of life because they have been told by their teachers that we are a racist, homophobic, misogynistic society which is ruled by a false belief in principals of Capitalism.  These educators believe in the false god of Marxist-Socialism, which has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people since it first took over a government after the fall of the Russian Czar in 1918.

Our children don’t know that, because they have been told a very different story, one that praises the Socialist/Communist states as the benefactors of the working class, not their oppressors.  As the case in virtually every instance of what is wrong with our country today, these poisonous lies can be traced back to a single source, the Democratic Party.  From the days prior to, during, and after the Civil War, when they were the defenders of slavery and the formers and leaders of the Ku Klux Klan, they have morphed into a party which claims to be the benefactors of blacks and other minorities and the champions of the working class.  However, when you pull back the curtain, you find a group of people who are so power hungry and cynical that they will lie, cheat and steal to keep their grip on the reins of power at all costs.

In 2016,  I wrote a post titled: “Justice For All?”.  At that time I was concerned about the fact that there wasn’t, at least in the Obama administration, equal justice for all.  The abuses by Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch’s DOJ’s were selectively prosecuting some individuals, (read Conservative Republicans), while seemingly ignoring the transgressions of others.  For example, Hillary Clinton was being given a pass for her egregious violations while serving as Obama’s Secretary of State.  Most notably, she deleted 30,000 emails from her private server after they had been subpoenaed by Congress.   In July of 2016, FBI Director James Comey spent 45 minutes listing that, and other illegal actions, and then stated, although these were serious alligations, “No reputable prosecutor would indict her!”  Hillary was, after all,  on the fast track to become our first female president, a position unjustly denied her by Barack Obama eight years earlier, who trumped (no pun intended) her gender card with his race card, so becoming our first minority president.

Incredibly, the (according to Liberal Democrats and the national media) “Buffoon”, Donald J. Trump soundly defeated her in the 2016 election.  So began the “Resistance Movement” called for by Obama, and eagerly put into action by the Democrats, their lapdog media allies, and elements of the “Deep State” federal employees, which permeated all areas of the federal bureaucracy, including the CIA, FBI and NSA among many others.  Even though their obvious political biases have been exposed, as yet none of them have been taken to task in any meaningful way for their obvious transgressions.  The bureaucracy and “Deep State” protect their own.  That has become blatantly obvious to all but the most willingly blind partisans on the left.  If this continues unchecked, we will lose our country, and the basic concept, stated in our “Pledge of Allegiance”, of guaranteeing “Liberty and Justice For All”.

One of the most basic precepts of our Constitution is the legal precept of being innocent until proven guilty.  Continue reading Justice For All? Ver 2.0 →

Look at the ridiculous picture at the left.  Question:  Who would try to imply that our President would ever associate himself with an organization based on hatred and discord? Answer: Leftist Democrats.  There is something systemically wrong with todays Democratic Party.  It started a very long time ago, prior even to the American Civil War.  At that time, the Democrats, both north and south, were advocates of the practice of slavery in this country.  Every state which seceded from the Union was controlled by Democrats. 

After the south was defeated, there was continuing resistance to the abolishment of slavery.  The infamous Klu Klux Klan was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general and staunch Democrat.  The activities of the Klan were supported by most Democratic politicians.  Most of the former slaves, if they chose to engage in political activities, were registered Republicans, the party of Abraham Lincoln, which had pushed through Amendments to the Constitution granting the freed slaves the full rights of citizenship. 

These rights were systematically violated in the south by the passing of the so-called “Jim Crow” laws, which attempted, successfully in most cases, to deny blacks their Constitutional rights.  For nearly a hundred years, southern and northern Democrats fought against any form of equal rights legislation.

Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, a notorious racial bigot and anti-semite, reinstituted the practice of racial segregation in our military and other government agencies, a system abolished after the Civil War.  That system remained in place until being once again abolished in 1948 under the Truman administration.

For years their have existed what are referred to as “Cafeteria Catholics”.  These people pick and chose what dictates of that religion they chose to observe, and ignore the rest.  At first, this might have been sneaking a burger on “Meatless Fridays’ instead of eating fish.  Then, maybe skipping Mass or Confession on a growingly frequent basis.  Using birth control methods? Why not!  That was sort of a slippery slope into the acceptance of early term abortion, which led inevitably to someone like Nancy Pelosi claiming to be a practicing Catholic while accepting the concept of abortion on demand up to, and including after the “fetus” had entered the world through the woman’s vagina.  It was only a “Baby” when the mother declared it to be so.

Yesterdays terrorist attack in London by Usman Khan, a Muslim jihadist who had been released early from a British prison because he agreed to wear an electronic ankle bracelet, is another example of how the west has not been able to grasp that adherents to the Muslim faith are dangerous to society as a whole on a scale not seen since the Middle Ages, when Catholics and Protestants took turns burning each other at the stake.
