Why does it take so much human suffering for Americans to grasp the ineptitude, ignorance, dishonesty, and moral vacuity of Democrats and the foolishness and destructiveness of Democrat policies? Why so little culpability for the damage Democrats have done?
Space does not permit discussion of all the disastrous actions, policies, and principles of Democrats. And if there were space and time sufficient for discussing all their unfruitful works of darkness, there would be the challenge of deciding how to order the discussion. By date? By financial cost to Americans? By degree of human suffering? By diminution of rights? By degree of illegality? By degree of ineptitude? By degree of dishonesty? By number of collaborators? By geography? Decisions, decisions.
Let’s start with the most dramatic event: the assassination attempt on President Trump.
But for the grace of God, Trump would be dead now and the country’s anger and division would threaten to boil over into civil war. As of this writing, many questions remain unanswered about the catastrophic failure of the Secret Service to prevent an assassination attempt on President Trump. Those questions bring the rhetoric of leftists and their perfervid commitment to the pernicious DEI ideology smack dab under blinding Klieg lights.
Many are asking whether Secret Service Director (and Illinois native) Kimberly Cheatle sashayed right past more qualified men because she had just the right corporeal plumbing for an administration obsessed with promoting people based on plumbing, sexual proclivities, and skin color rather than merit and ability.
While we know from her public statements that Cheatle is committed to hiring based on irrelevant criteria, we don’t yet know—with certainty—if she were hired based on such irrelevant criteria.
We also know the country is clamoring for her resignation. Even Cheatle admits, the buck stops at her dainty lady feet. If blame for the wounding of President Trump, death of Corey Comperatore, and critical injuries of Marine veteran David “Jake” Dutch who served in Desert Storm, and James Copenhaver rests with Cheatle, she must resign.
For eight years, leftists have denounced Trump as evil incarnate, a Hitlerian demagogue who poses an “existential threat to democracy” and America. If they believe that, then logic, wisdom, compassion, and righteousness support Trump’s assassination. If leftists know he’s going to round up Americans, send them to death camps, and perform grotesque medical experiments on them; if they know he believes there are lives unworthy of life—the Nazi phrase is Lebensunwertes Leben—then surely assassination is morally justifiable.
(As an aside, we already know which party supports grotesque medical experimentation on children and eagerly endorses legalized killing of those deemed unworthy of life.)
If they believe that the assassination attempt was evil, then they have been lying for eight long years. They can’t have it both ways.
Ironically, just as leftists called for unity and for toning down the rhetoric, their overheated, ugly rhetoric resumed.
But it’s not just their rhetoric and commitment to subordinating merit to accidents of birth or sexual deviance that make Democrats incapable of creating a society conducive to human flourishing.
Democrats have hidden and lied about Biden’s physical frailty and cognitive disability for four interminable years.
Democrats have engaged in grossly unethical, illegal, and/or unconstitutional “lawfare” to stop President Trump from running against the physically, mentally, and ethically malfunctioning Joe Biden.
Biden has failed miserably to fulfill his constitutional obligation to execute and enforce the border laws created by Congress, which has forced Americans to subsidize the housing, care, and education of lawbreakers; drained resources; and made America far more dangerous.
Democrats engaged in a disinformation campaign just weeks before the 2020 election to discredit and bury a New York Post exposé about Hunter Biden’s laptop—a campaign that included members of the Biden administration and the CIA. Secretary of State Antony Blinken along with nefarious characters James Clapper and John Brennan came up with the cockamamie letter that implied the laptop—that had been the FBI’s possession for ten months—might be part of an evil Russian disinformation campaign (winky, winky). (If anyone knows how to conduct a disinformation campaign, it’s Blinken, Brennan, and Clapper.)
Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, stopped fracking, dramatically increased the cost to oil companies of drilling for oil on federal land, all of which have increased the cost of energy for Americans struggling to pay bills.
Democrats are exposing minors to obscene material, concealing information from parents, facilitating cross-sex impersonation, and promoting ideas derived from deeply flawed Critical Race Theory in public schools, while at the same time opposing school choice.
Democrats support and promote social, chemical, and surgical experimentation on minors.
Democrats support the legal killing of humans in their mothers’ wombs for any or no reason throughout the entire nine months of gestation.
Many Democrats support Hamas and oppose the right of Israel to prevent the rape, torture, and murder of its own citizens and to prevent its own annihilation.
Biden presided over the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of American soldiers, treasonous betrayal of Afghans who were helping us, and the loss of materiel to terrorists.
Democrats bailed lawbreakers and insurrectionists out of jail during the 2020 “summer of love” in which government buildings and property and private property were set ablaze, stores looted, and people killed.
Democrats genuflected to felon George Floyd in the Capitol.
Democrats defunded and “reimagined’ police forces, leaving impoverished communities even more dangerous.
Just listing the highlights—or lowlights—should suffice to motivate Americans to give the whole rotten bunch the heave-ho in the next election. After that, the bureaucratic purge of—to quote Jeff Blehar—the “‘Blob” … that forever-agglutinating congeries of policy wonks, lobbyists, the permanent ‘Washington class,’ [and] media strivers” should commence.
In light of calls for “unity” from divisive Democrats, including Joe Biden, I will close with some words from Steve Gentry, a little-known pastor/everyman from North Chesterfield, Virginia:
I’m not praying for unity … because there are certain people in our nation that we simply cannot unite with. Division is not always a negative thing. When it devolves into violence, it becomes a negative thing. But division is helpful when you can clearly see who is righteous and who is unrighteous. …
There is only one side of this divide that seeks to murder children by the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions. There’s only one side that wants to give your children puberty blockers. There’s only one side that wants your children to be able to have gender reassignment surgery without parental consent. There is only one side that would like to destroy what is … a great nation in … multitudinous, different ways. …
There is only one side that has any semblance of righteousness left.
Let’s make America great again.
