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.

After bitterly fighting the concept of civil rights for blacks and indeed other minorities for over a hundred years, when the Republicans pushed through the end of “Jim Crow” laws in the south and desegregated schools and public places, the Democrats suddenly embraced desegregation, but in an awful and destructive way.  They, through the concept of “Welfare”, destroyed the black family unit, and created a situation where over 70% of black children are born out of wedlock, to women “married” to the state, not the father of their children.  Thankfully, an ever larger portion of the African-American community is beginning to figure that out, but it will take decades to undo what the Democrats have done to that group of Americans.

Now, the Democrats have set their sights on another target, illegal aliens from south of our border and elsewhere.  This group, mainly Hispanic in origin, are being groomed to become the next tool to keep the Democrats in power.  They are being granted drivers licenses which will inevitably lead to voter fraud, especially since the Democrats have consistently fought against ANY form of identification being required at polling places on election day.

Barack Obama’s “Fundamental Transformation Of America” did untold damage to this nation.  His “Resistance” movement has continued that trend.  The fact that President Donald Trump has been able to do anything to slow the decline of our country is remarkable.  However, the dramatic slide to the extreme left of the Democratic Party, as exemplified by Bernie Sanders and his new sidekick Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, should truly be a “Canary in the Coal Mine” to Americans.  If we don’t wake up, and soon, we will pass on an awful legacy to our children, grandchildren and all the future generations to come.
