Identity Politics

Identity Politics: A Solution

Elizabeth Warren: The Identity Politics Master

Earlier today, Massachusetts Democratic Senator, Elizabeth Warren released a video of her and her brothers discussing their ancestry.   This well-edited and professionally produced video made sure to exploit identity politics to the fullest.

Elizabeth Warren Identity politicsIn short, the video establishes her 1/1024th Native American blood is “strong evidence” that her claims of being Cherokee are true.  Next, she makes sure everyone knows that her heritage had no part in advancing her career as a law professor.

Oh, and also she has brothers who are registered Republicans.  (Weak attempt to appear moderate and non-partisan? Check)

I mean, we all know she’s going to run in 2020, so she’s laying the groundwork now.  The video basically went down a checklist of potential campaign problems and checked them off, one by one.

My question is:

If she’s not using identity politics to further her career, then why would she release an entire video addressing? And why does she always describe herself as Native American, particularly on the campaign trail?

In recent years, it appears as though Democrats are adding identity politics to their bags of dirty tricks.  I mean, who doesn’t want to elect a minority who can rise up against the straight, white patriarchy and defeat them once and for all? [Sarcasm]

Let’s take a look at how Democrats are using identity politics to get a few more votes.

A Few Examples

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Claims she’s a working-class girl from the Bronx.

 

Transgender Identity politics
Christine Hallquist

Truth: She grew up in an upper-middle-class suburb of Yorktown and went to Boston University.

 

Richard Blumenthal: Claims he was a nearly died serving in Vietnam.

Truth: He obtained FIVE deferments in the Vietnam and war. When he later got caught lying, he said he “misspoke.”

Hillary Clinton: Well, she’s a woman and obviously we’re due for the first female President regardless if she’s qualified or not. Never mind the fact that her husband has his own section in the library of #MeToo moments.

Barack Obama: Identity politics successfully elected Barack Obama twice.  He also converted to Christianity to improve his public appearance.

Christine Halquist: The first openly transgender Governor candidate that’s currently running in Vermont.

The list goes on, and on…

Why This is Dangerous

By electing representatives based on their identity, and not their merit, we are creating a dangerous situation that has a lasting effect.

You wouldn’t bring a car mechanic into the job of a chef, would you?  No, you wouldn’t.

Just because a person feels passionate about politics, does not necessarily mean they’re fit to be in the political sphere.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at the Democratic Socialist sweetheart du jour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  Her entire campaign has been a mess of bizarre statements and what can only be described as word salad.  (She still can’t explain how she’s going to pay for her socialist Utopia.)

When we focus on the race, gender, religion or orientation of a candidate, we lose sight of (or completely ignore) how they feel about real issues.  Real issues that effect real Americans and our lives.

In doing this, we are setting ourselves up for disaster.  Disasters that look like Obamacare, the Nuclear Iran deal and the bank bailouts to name a few.

Just because a person can be chummy with late night talk show hosts and rub elbows with celebrities, does not mean I want them representing me.

Not to mention, using identity politics to make yourself appear to be some champion for the oppressed, is just insulting and cheap.

Simply put, if you can’t qualify for a position based on your experience and qualifications, you don’t deserve the job. End of story.

A Simple Solution (Even though no one will ever actually do it)

Two Words: Blind Elections

That’s right, by having blind elections we can remove identity politics, from politics.  Hear me out.

Imagine in your election, the only things you know about the candidates are:

  • Education
  • Past Work History
  • Citizenship Status
  • Views on all the Issues
  • Goals
  • Political Party (And maybe not even this one)

No more:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Gender
  • Orientation
  • Cheap Shot Political Ads
  • Good public speakers, horrible public servants

Problem solved!

 

I don’t honestly expect this to ever become reality in this country.  Would be pretty nice, though.  Don’t you think?

Kavanaugh
Posted by October 6, 2018 Op Ed, Opinion, Politics, Social Issues No Comments

Coping With Kavanaugh, AKA What Happens Next?

After a heated debate, it looks as though Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed to the Supreme Court this weekend with a vote of 51-49 or possibly 50-50. If the latter is the case, Vice President Mike Pence will cast the tie-breaking vote. Should that come to pass, it’s not exactly a secret what the VP will decide.

After an intense, heated, vitriolic ordeal; the end is near. For half the country, the impending appointment will come as a sigh of relief. For the other half, however…. well, it remains to be seen how they’ll react once the vote becomes final.

All that leads to the question of what happens next? Where do we go from here? On that note, a few thoughts.

Your Life Is Not Over

The Supreme Court is not supposed to have this much power or control over our lives. Even if it seems as though it does, it really doesn’t even in modern times. The primary function of the Supreme Court is not to legislate. It is to serve as a Constitutional check on power for the Legislative (and Executive) branch of government.

Ask 10 random people in your life what their favorite Supreme Court decision was and Roe V. Wade doesn’t count. Odds are, you’ll get 10 blank stares. The reason? The average person is barely aware that the United States has a Supreme Court, let alone who’s on it, what cases it hears, and what decisions are made.

Beyond that, try asking 10 people which Supreme Court decision has had the most positive or negative impact on their life. Again, Roe V. Wade doesn’t count. 10 more blank stares. Mind you, it’s not that Roe V. Wade isn’t/wasn’t a landmark Supreme Court case. It was. However, beyond that extremely well-known case, most people (myself included) simply don’t pay attention.

The Supreme Court does have power. Their decisions do impact our lives. However, for the average American on an average day? The Supreme Court isn’t really on their mind.

Kavanaugh Isn’t Who You Think He Is

There are a few things that Brett Kavanaugh is; and a few things he isn’t. There are also a few things he might be. If you’re inclined to believe he’s a crazy, alcoholic, rapist: well, probably nothing will convince you otherwise. A well-respected judge? Prior to his nomination, yes. An Originalist? Yes. Right-wing? Sure. Is he on the level of a Clarence Thomas? Yes.

There’s no way of getting around the fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a conservative Republican, picked by conservative Republicans, and vetted by conservative Republican groups. That said, he’s not the Nazi extremist many are making him out to be.

Does he favor overturning Roe V. Wade? Probably yes, as most conservatives do. Would he? Probably not. The Supreme Court does not get to decide to revisit an old issue just for the hell of it. A law of some kind would have to be created, then challenged, then work its way up the system to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court would have to decide to hear the case. Then, they would have to decide to rule on it one way or another.

That’s a lot of “ifs.” It isn’t outside the realm of possibility, but it certainly isn’t imminent. Nor is it clear that the likes of Kavanaugh and Gorsuch would vote in such a way. The thing about Originalists is that they’re very “letter of the law” when it comes to their decisions. This means that the law has to be soundly written and applied, leaving little room for interpretation.

This stands in stark contrast with activist judges (on both sides) who seek to cram square pegs into round holes; making a law fit no matter what.

In any case, should an “overturn” of Roe V. Wade occur, the issue would simply go to the states where they can decide whether or not to keep it. In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with this approach. Let the governors and state legislators decide what is best for their direct constituents; to whom they are most accountable.

The End Is Nowhere Near

There may yet come a challenge to Roe V. Wade in the future. However, the notion that Kavanaugh will spend his first day on the court taking a red pen to the decision is factually incorrect and absurd on its face. It’s as absurd as the notion that this “right-wing takeover” of the Supreme Court will turn women into property, enslave all minorities, and disband democracy.

The frenzy that those on the left have worked themselves into is as dishonest as it is counterproductive to their goals. Have you noticed how the “Trump is a Nazi” rhetoric has died down? Part of that is organic and part of that is planned.

When most of the President’s family is Jewish, (or married into Judaism), is BFF’s with Israel, deports an actual Nazi, and moves the US embassy to Jerusalem; it’s kind of hard to keep up that sort of rhetoric. The “Literally Hitler” crowd has quieted and it’s partially because there’s no traction to be had with such an argument.

Of course, the extreme left still thinks Donald Trump is literally Hitler. The same way the extreme right thinks Obama is literally a foreign-born terrorist. Both are silly and counterproductive. All it takes is for Donald Trump to, you know, not be Hitler; or for Obama to, you know, not do terroristy things.

A Low Bar

When the bar is set that low, the enthusiasm for any conspiracy theory fizzles. Most importantly, moderates who may otherwise share your views tend to drop off as well. They say “okay, well, this guy isn’t really Hitler…. so what the hell are they talking about?”

I know, because I’ve gone down the “Hillary Clinton is a satanic priestess who eats babies” internet rabbit hole in the past. There’s not a lot of substance to be had there. Sometimes these things gain traction briefly. When they don’t add up, you’re left looking ridiculous.

The bar is being similarly set low for Kavanaugh. All he truly needs to do to quiet the extreme rhetoric is, you know, not declare that all women are baby factories who are owned by men. He’ll no doubt receive more attention than most Supreme Court justices (save for the Democrat’s love affair with the Notorious RBG), but that too will fizzle. He’ll vote on the same ho-hum issues that most Americans don’t care about and we’ll soon forget all about how he was going to declare that all women were now property with no legal rights.

The good thing is that even if Kavanaugh wanted to decree such a thing (I’m fairly certain he does not), it would mean nothing and he’d be decreeing it to no one. Why? Because the Supreme Court doesn’t decree anything. It cannot, and does not go off on a legislative tangent just for the hell of it.

If the country really believed we’d elected “literally Hitler” in 2016, there would be far more resistance to him than the so-called #resistance. Democrats in Congress talk a good game but mostly give Trump what he wants. They vote for his budgets, his spending, and to expand the powers of the Executive branch with regularity.

The #resistance exists on Twitter. It doesn’t really exist in Congress.

So, What Happens Next?

Susan CollinsWhat happens next is anyone’s guess. How will the extreme left react this weekend? We’ll see. I have a feeling it will be neither pretty nor quiet. The behavior of Senate Democrats as well as leftist protesters during this ordeal has been nothing short of laughable at best, and reprehensible at worst.

Apparently sending Susan Collins coat hangers in the mail as a cruel nod to abortion didn’t have the desired effect. Or doxxing Senate Republicans. Or screaming about white male patriarchy because that always works. Yes, truly this is the work of sane, well-balanced people and not, you know, crazy.

Mind you, I don’t begrudge anyone their right to protest. I just wish their protests were more grounded in reality as opposed to regurgitating hypocritical pseudoscience pop culture psychobabble buzzwords. I mean, it’s just sort of silly, that’s all.

But it is amusing and the memes are good so, you know, silver lining there.

The right to protest is enshrined in the Constitution. So, whatever they do; Leftist activists should take solace in the fact that having Originalists on the court means that right isn’t going anywhere.

I just hope the irony isn’t lost on them.

#WalkAway

#WalkAway Gets Unexpected Boost From SCOTUS Circus

Democrats Help #WalkAway…again

Congressional Democrats helped to form an unlikely alliance last week.  Their showing at the Supreme Court nomination helped wake up quite a few more Americans who joined the #WalkaAway Campaign.

 

 

In yet another polarizing issue, the accusation of Christine Blasey Ford set the country on fire.  Despite the complete lack of evidence, Democrats threw their support behind Ford.  The #MeToo shot to the top of “trending” on Twitter with a new one for good measure; #IBelieveHer.

Meanwhile, Republicans and Conservatives approached the issue with skepticism and doubt.  “Why,” you ask? Well, let’s look at the facts.

The Evidence (Or Lack Of)

  1. She doesn’t remember when or where the party was.
  2. She doesn’t remember how she got there or how she got home.
  3. Her recollection of the account and who was there had changed multiple times.
  4. Everyone who “was at the party” according to Ford has denied they were either there or that it ever happened.
  5. She claims she fled the party after the attack and ran home (but wait, I thought she didn’t remember how she got home).  However, she also said she called her best friend from her cell phone after the attack.  The year was 1982.  The first cell phone wasn’t available for purchase until 1984.
  6. She claims she heard people talking about her/the attack at the party. (But she said she fled after the assault, so how is this possible)

There are also conflicting stories in regards to how she remembered the offense later in counseling.

According to Ford, she was remodeling her home and wanted a second door installed so she “could escape” and was claustrophobic after the alleged attack.  This remodel was for a rental property, and all of this occurred in 2008, not 2012 as she claimed.

Also sketchy…

Dr. Ford deleted ALL her social media profiles before sending the letter.

Holton Arms scrubber her yearbooks from the internet, but someone found them and saved them first. **MIC DROP**

For starters, she’s a far-left activist who had pictures on her social media accounts in a Pink Women’s March hat with a sign that says “Not My President.”

Allegedly, a former Facebook friend saw a post where she was bitter about then-Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorusch.  In the post, she states that someone should accuse him of rape to block the nomination.  When the friend replied it was unethical to destroy an innocent mans’ life over false accusations, she replied “So.” (This is allegedly and sent by a tweet.  It has NOT been confirmed, however, so take it with a grain of salt.)

Next, her yearbooks detail racist, alcohol-fueled weekends at Holton Arms.  Sexual encounters with boys were not only frequent, but they also bragged about them.  Lovely.

There’s MUCH more.  Maybe in another article. Let’s keep moving.

Political Chess

Many people believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.  They think that something happened to her.  It just wasn’t Brett Kavanaugh who did it.

Senator Diane Feinstein received this letter back in July.  She decided to sit on it until the 11th hour of the confirmation process.

Then, as if by magic, the letter gets leaked to the public and Dr. Ford’s request to remain anonymous was ignored.  The Democrats sprung into action to not only destroy one man’s life but their “victim’s” as well.

Senator Chuck Schumer publicly promised to block this Supreme Court nomination.

“I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination with everything I have, and I hope a bipartisan majority will do the same. The stakes are simply too high for anything less.” – Senator Chuck Schumer

Before they announced a nominee, the Democrats had signs printed opposing all the top nominees before one was named.

The entire confirmation process was a complete circus with the interviews being interrupted about every fifteen minutes.

That was all before the accusation was even released.

 

Brett KavanaughDuring the Ford/Kavanaugh testimony, it was made clear that Senator Feinstein and her staff hired the attorneys for Dr. Ford.

The line of questioning to Judge Kavanaugh was hardly questioning at all.  It was a collaborated effort by Senate Dems to bully the judge into withdrawing his nomination and agreeing to an FBI investigation.

The circus continued, and as the proceedings went on, it became more and more clear that this was, in fact, a political hit job.  It was a calculated character assassination of a man who spent his entire life defending our Constitution so that he could watch it get desecrated in his name.

The Wake-Up Call

This embarrassing show of the Democrats weaponizing the #MeToo for political gain was the last straw for many.

It was disgusting and embarrassing.  Many feel bad for not just Judge Kavanaugh but Dr. Ford as well.  The blatantly obvious politically motivated seek and destroy was exactly what many on the left needed to call it quits with the Democrats.


 

I can do this all day.  These were just at the top of the search results.  There are many, many more.  Check for yourself.

Good job, Democrats.  Not only did you add fuel to the supposed “Russian Bot” #WalkAway Campaign, but you also may have just destroyed your mid-terms.

So on behalf of all of us in the #WalkAway Campaign, we want to thank you AGAIN for your support.  We couldn’t do it without you.

Now get back out there and screw up some more stuff.  We have the #WalkAway March coming up soon!

Democratic Coercion
Posted by September 21, 2018 Op Ed, Politics, Social Issues No Comments

The Left Can only Force the “Progress” They Want

The Left vs. The Right

At one point in my life, I had no idea what the difference between Republicans and Democrats was. Generally, I felt strongly about specific issues, but I didn’t necessarily assign them to a “party.”

Like many young adults, I allowed emotion to drive my opinions about many topics.

First of all, I didn’t understand that Republicans were for small government and Democrats for large government. I knew how I felt about all the major partisan issues; I just didn’t know which side claimed them.

Once I learned more about each platform, I began looking deeper into their histories, campaign messages and prominent figures.

A noticeable trend became clear almost immediately:

The further to the Left a party goes, the more Coercion and Force they use to accomplish their goals.

Don’t get me wrong; politics gets dirty on both sides.  However, in most cases, when one party loses an election or the majority; they lick their wounds and plan better for the next time.  That’s how it used to be, clearly, it’s not anymore.

New Methods

The LeftAs the Democratic Party has shifted further to the Left, so have their tactics.  Instead of campaigning and getting votes, they cry, scream and accuse.

They didn’t win because of inadequacy.  Nope, they lost because of systematic oppression.  They even have an activist group for each type of oppression that we know of (there are new ones being invented every day).

  • Black Lives Matter- Everything is Racist
  • 4th Wave Feminists- Everyone is Sexist
  • Antifa- Everyone is a Nazi
  • LBGTQIABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP+- Everything is homophobic
  • Socialists- Everything is oppressive

Now that the gang is all here, let’s deploy the troops.

Their Mission:

Shame, intimidate, coerce and force their opinions, beliefs, and policies on the general population.

Find an injustice and throw a big enough fit until they eventually cave into their demands. Don’t believe me?

Some examples:

  • Boyscouts of America: Clearly not accepting girls into your association is sexism.  And starting our own organization is out of the question.  Nope, they destroyed 100+ years of tradition instead.
  • Plastic Straws:  Obviously far more important than drug use or violent crime.  Ban them and threaten jail time for violations.
  •  Pronouns: Use the wrong one and they’ll make sure you get fired.  In fact, don’t label gender at all.  This one is a violent crime they care about.
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches:  They’re racist and so are you. If you question this or disagree, more proof you’re a racist.
  • Healthcare: Buy their healthcare at quadruple the cost so they can afford to give healthcare to other people who can’t afford it because they drove the prices up to high.  Oh and if you don’t, they’ll fine you.
  • Jobs: Hire women for your board of Directors or else they’ll sue you for sexism.  Doesn’t matter if they are qualified, or if someone else is MORE qualified; you have to do it.
  • Businesses: If your business is too successful you have to get permission from them to exist.  Obviously, by creating a great product that people want to use, you’re clearly stealing from poor people…or something.
  • Social Media: They don’t like what you’re saying so you can’t say it anymore.  You’re not wrong, they just don’t agree with you so if you don’t shut up, they’ll shut you up.
  • Your Money: They know how to spend your money better than you do.  And they don’t care if you worked hard for it, there are other people who don’t have as much, so you have to give it to them.
  • Being anything but a Democrat: Clearly, you’re a Nazi, so they’re going to punch you and justify it by calling you a Nazi.  Even if you’re a minority. Definitely all Nazis.
  • Being a Baby: How dare this parasite invade someone’s bodies without their consent.  They must be forcibly removed.
  • Being an all Around Awesome Guy: You’re not on their side, so they’re going to destroy your career, reputation, character and hopefully your life with baseless accusations.  That’s what you get for not being one of them.
  • Using Euphemisms: Even if they use the same one, they will call you a racist.

The Left Doesn't Care about Innocent Casualties

This is only a few examples of how the Left must use force and coercion to accomplish their goals.

Obviously, they know what’s better for us than we do.

Same Slippery Slope, Different Time and Place

Every single society that went too far left and ended up with Socialism or Communism almost inevitably became Dictatorships.

Have you ever wondered why?

The shift always starts innocently enough.  Play on emotions, create outrage and victimhood.  Provide a solution in the form of equal outcomes and eliminate equal opportunity.  It’s not about lifting everyone up, it’s about bringing everyone else down.

For the over-achievers, the ambitious ones and the free-thinkers; this is unacceptable.  Either conform to their beliefs or get shamed into submission.  Still want to resist?  Then you must be silenced.

It’s psychological warfare, and when they militarize, it becomes Soviet Russia and Fascist Italy.  They don’t want peace, they want submission.

When we can’t accomplish our tasks with elections, democracy and debate; we will force you.  If you resist, we will attack you.  Not your ideas or your beliefs.  No, we attack your character, your integrity, you as a person and seek to destroy it all.

It’s the same story throughout history. Exploit emotionally vulnerable groups of people, exaggerate perceived injustices, offer utopian society, and mobilize.

Our country is heading down this path.  We’ve seen it happen before in all parts of the world.

Question is, are you going to let it happen to you?

Facebook Censorship Gamble
Posted by September 16, 2018 Op Ed, Politics, Social Issues, The Closet On The Right No Comments

Facebook Censorship: Playing with $2B of Fire

Facebook Censorship

Facebook Censorship Is Getting Worse

You’re playing with fire, Facebook.  The censorship of Conservative voices is becoming more obvious every day.  You have yet to ban a left-leaning or liberal person by “mistake”.  Or at least I haven’t heard of one.

 

So far, it has happened to Brandon Straka, PragerU, David Harris Jr, Diamond and Silk, and Candace Owens.  Without fail, (and once the media gets ahold of it) the ban ultimately gets lifted and an apology is issued.  It’s dismissed as a “mistake”.  This doesn’t even include the thousands of regular users who get thrown in “Facebook Jail” for stupid things.

 

Facebook’s own employees confess that inside their own walls exists a “political monoculture“.  Even further, former employees admit that Conservative stories and media outlets are suppressed regularly.  Despite his testimony in front of Congress, Mark Zuckerberg continues to allow censorship on his platform.

 

With 2.219 billion Facebook users worldwide, they beat out every other platform with ease. This also means they have the most to lose.

The Conservative Price Tag

Let’s just run through some statistics real quick:

Ultimately, we have to assume 10% is the same for businesses since I couldn’t find statistics to say otherwise.

Total Revenue of Facebook: $40.7 Billion x 10% = $4.7 Billion earned from the United States.

$4.7 Billion Dollars x 43% (Conservative Users) = $2,068,000,000

In other words, Facebook could lose $2 Billion (with a B) by censoring their Conservative users.  

The Snowball Effect

Digital Marketing 101: Go where your audience is.

If 43% of my audience is on Twitter instead of Facebook, I’m taking 43% of my budget to Twitter.

At some point, large pages with hundreds of thousands of followers will build their audiences on other platforms.  They will go where their voices will be heard.  Their followers will do what they do best, follow.  They’ll follow them right off your platform.

Guess what will happen to their friends, they will start spending more time on other platforms as well.

In the end, it all means less audience for people that are most important to Facebook: Their Advertisers.

Facebook dominates online time use more than any other platform.  Along with Google, they control 80% of online traffic.  If you no longer use Facebook or Google, that means they lose tons of data.  They can no longer target you with ads or monopolize your attention span.

Their goal is to keep you spending as much time on their network as possible.  It’s where you get your news, stay connected with friends, follow your favorite celebrities and more.  So what happens if you just up and walked away?

The $2 Billion Gamble

Facebook’s opinion about your opinion seems more important than your value as a customer.  Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case based on their actions.  Your opinion is so dangerous to them that they would rather risk losing you as a customer than respect that you think differently than they do.

Silencing you is more important than the money you bring that pays the people they employ to discriminate against you.

 

With no viable competitor to Facebook, they basically hold the keys to the city.  Unless you want to lose contact with everyone you know, you’re not going anywhere.  Or at least that’s what they think.

With each passing day, their users become more frustrated and angry.  Their frustration then motivates them to find alternatives.

Users are so desperate for an alternative that Donald Trump Jr is offering the king of social media followers as an incentive to developers. Will it be enough?

Only time can tell but one thing I know for sure is that most people don’t trust Facebook or Twitter.  Their double-standards are digging their own grave and all it will take is one reasonable alternative to come along.

You may not value our opinions, Facebook, but you will value the $2 billion we take with us when we leave you for good.

Guilty By Association: A Lesson in Censorship

Guilty By Association

Earlier today, the WalkAway founder announced he received a 30-day suspension.  What is his crime you ask?  He is guilty by association.

Confused?  So were we.

Brandon’s crime was not violating Facebook’s terms of service.  He didn’t post nudity, violence or make a threat.  No, what he did was far worse.

 

He posted an interview he did with social media’s Public Enemy Number One: Alex Jones.

Yes, that was his crime.  His association with someone they have determined is offensive and dangerous, was all it took for Zuck’s liberal army of keyboard warriors to act. His punishment, exile.

 

Better take some time and think about what you’ve done, Brandon.

Later, the conservative site Red Pill Pundit dared to post an article about the suspension. Within a matter of minutes, their site was bombarded with thousands of IP requests per second.  This attack is coming from two locations in California according to the owner of the site, Anthony Montz.  As of the publishing of this article, the site was still down.  All hands on deck to get it back up.

The RPP is guilty of association with Brandon.  Brandon is guilty of association with Jones.  They are all being targeted by the same people.  The violent, intolerant and hateful left.  Their worst enemy is free speech and they are doing everything they can to shut it down.

 

 

Suspicious Timing

This campaign is in the midst of a PR hurricane in an effort to promote and build their official walk on Washington, DC.  The march, set to take place on October 26-28th is meant to serve as one last big push before the midterms.

Obviously, the timing of the march was intentional to monopolize as much media attention before what is largely considered the most important election in our lifetime.  Both sides are gearing up and putting as much effort into this election as any in history.  We all know what is at stake.

Each seat Republicans lose in the House of Representatives and the Senate is one step closer to the liberal madness that is quickly swallowing our Republic.  The progress of our President will come to a screeching halt if the Democrats regain the house.  They have already promised to impeach if they are successful.

The efforts of the liberal media who obviously have the support of the social media titans have increased their efforts in recent weeks with the banning of a number of popular conservative voices. This was literally within days of Jack Dorsey testifying before Congress that they don’t ban people for political opinions.  In addition to that, we discovered Google used its influence to aid the Clinton campaign during the 2016 election.

As the resentment for the left grows, so does the WalkAway campaign.  The timing and length of this suspension lead us all to believe that it wasn’t about a simple association.

A Lesson In Censorship

Obviously, this suspension should be a lesson to us all.   Associate with the wrong people and you too will be subjected to punishment.

Every day, the social media platforms move closer to the Orwellian prediction of a dystopian world.  The thought police of the internet are quickly establishing a new set of rules for what they will allow and what they will not.

Is this what we can expect from now on?   To agree with their enemy makes you their enemy.  To disagree with them makes you their enemy.  If you are the enemy, silencing you is the only option.

They know your associations.  These platforms track your engagement, the pages you like, the friends you have and from there it is easy to determine where someone falls on the ideology spectrum.  Their technology can recognize faces, read text on images and within posts, read links and connect them back to their source.

Is that source a threat to them?  Since Brandon dared to share the infamous website of public enemy number one, he gave the algorithm everything it needed to pounce.

A Slippery Slope

In the giant database of information, they hold the key.  Since they know our associations, what is stopping them from connecting all the dots of their users and censoring them?  In reality, at this point, there is nothing stopping them.

Ultimately, we all need to leave these platforms and find a better way to be heard.  The liberal bias runs rampant within the companies themselves.  It should come as no surprise that conservatives are feeling the wrath of well funded and powerful Democrats.

If we allow this to continue, we are all going to be criminals.  Our association with one another will be the only crime they need to silence and retaliate.  Let’s stop this fascist practice so that the only lesson in censorship that we need, is that it no longer exists.

Social Justice Warriors: Their Own Worst Enemy

Social Justice Warriors: The Birth

Obama was responsible for resurrecting a dying issue of race relations in this country.  Prior to his 2007 Presidential campaign, no accused anyone else of being a racist.  Well, not unless you ACTUALLY said the N-word or something awful like that.  With the election of one Barack Hussein Obama, a new type of warrior was born.  Social Justice Warriors.

Social Justice Warrior DefinitionYes, these Social Justice Warriors were born because anyone who opposed candidate Obama was obviously a racist. 

This set a new standard for behavior amongst Democrats.  This election opened the floodgates for accusatory and inflammatory behavior.

Since Democrats are now the bully, Obama was the principal who signed their permission slip to wreak havoc in the halls.

The divisive behavior grew like a weed.  Instead of the gardener plucking them, he watered them and gave them sunlight.  This gardener chose to pluck, poison and starve the flowers and fruits of the garden.

 

Social Justice Warriors: The Progression

Obviously, the tactics of Social Justice Warriors worked.  They elected the first black president. Twice.

What else can we accomplish with guilt, accusations, and harassment?

Virtually anything, really.  Anyone can be a racist, sexist, homophobe, xenophone and bigot in the right light.

So that is exactly what they did.  With their new marching orders, they went searching for anyone they didn’t agree with and proceeded to put their head on the PC pike.

When one of their own gets fired or denied positions, they cry **insert “ist” term here**.  However, when one of their own lashes out and crosses the line; well that’s freedom of speech.  We all remember the Fresno State professor who openly celebrated the passing of Barbara Bush on Twitter.

She didn’t get fired or even disciplined for her extremely derogatory remarks.

As a result, she raised her speaking fee.  Turns out the beast is actually a vile goose that lays golden eggs of hate.  Good job, Fresno State.

Clearly, these tactics prove to work time and time again.  Many have fallen to the cry of social justice warriors which has only emboldened them further.

Social Justice Warriors: They’ve Poisoned Their Own Well

By 2016 the majority of Americans are sick of being accused of racism and every other “ism” thrown at us.

The left has gone so far left (and keeps going) that they have to come up with new ways to accuse people.  New pronouns are made up daily.  Literally, everything is racist or sexist.  Their fight for tolerance has pushed them into intolerance of everyone who doesn’t completely agree with their new brand of insanity.

Now, babies shouldn’t be assigned a gender at birth.  Well, there are no genders according to the left.  Assuming someone’s gender is a violent crime that will not be forgiven.

A new California bill will mandate women seats on the boards of corporations regardless of merit.  Clearly, Hillary lost the election because of misogyny.  It had nothing to do with the fact that is so awful, people would rather elect a complete outsider over her. (Thanks Hillary!)

For social justice warriors, there is no end to the fight.

Social Justice Warriors: Destroying Their Own Mission

Saying everyone is special is just a nice way of saying no one is.

If everyone is a racist, then no one is.  By throwing accusations at everyone, the accusation itself loses meaning.

We are at a point in our society when a liberal throws an accusation, everyone collectively rolls their eyes and says “Of course they are”.

Social Justice Warrior

Almost on cue, a leftist will throw in the race/sex/orientation/bigot card as if they are reading from a script of hate when they are in an argument.  By responding with this rather than an intelligent response, it further proves they have nothing of substance.

They must rely on guilt to win an argument.

Sadly for them, it’s not working anymore.  Social just warriors have become their own worse enemy.  By not knowing when to quit, they have essentially diluted their message to a point that people have completely stopped paying attention.

Instead, they whine and complain to one another since no one else has any interest in what they have to say anymore.  And now, they have lost their targets of accusations so guess what happens next; they turn on each other.

I personally am very much looking forward to the day that they get sick of one another and fade off into obscurity.

Until then, we do what any reasonable adult does with petulant toddlers; we ignore them.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

It will only get worse.

The shrill cries that rang out from the left, like a wounded animal, on November 9, 2016, have grown from roar to a thundering hurricane of raging disbelief and angst. Each day those that did NOT #walkaway, gather in small groups to tell each other how awful life is and that the end is nigh.

And then they hop on Facebook to say it again.

They are victims, though not in the way they believe, but in a much crueler sense from which there may be no salvation.

They are not victims of the things they want to be known for, the racism, xenophobia, sexism, financial oppression, but are victims of core liberal life goals. Now, this is not to say that those things don’t exist, as they surely do, as these despicable beliefs exist in the hearts of most liberals.

They think that because everyone they know is a racist (liberals only associate with other liberals) and because when they think of other races from their own, their first instinct is to pity them with their bleeding heart, which is the purest form of racism, that everyone must be a racist.

If they would only hang out with people outside their bubble, they would learn this isn’t true.

I could go on and on giving examples. This is not the point. We need to look deeper.

The Core of Their Disorder

If we understand the disease that is the progressive movement, then perhaps we can stop battling with them about their ridiculousness and maybe understand their self-inflicted pain.

Once we understand, then it will become clear that the kindest, most humane gift we can give the liberal is indifference. The hate that fuels their sickness can’t live in a vacuum. Without the annoying fact-based voices on the right to debate and slander, the will simply not exist.

What is at their core?

Fear.

The little voice inside the liberal head has been conditioned to only look for the worst possible outcome and to hold lengthy discussions with the consciousness that begin with, “What if…” and end with a feeling of despair.

Like two dozen browsers always open, their minds fuel insecurity. And like a drug, the insecurity becomes an addiction. They loathe making decisions. They want to be told what to think. If a national news story involves two parties, neither of whom are white males, they must wait to find out which side to hate from their shepherds at MSNBC. Only then will the voices in their heads be quiet. Only then will they get their fix.

They like socialism. Not only is it based upon the idea that everyone is equal, it is rooted in a philosophy that in order to make sure everyone truly is equal, a central authority will make all the decisions. But here is the problem:

Liberals have taken the idea that every human should be treated with respect regardless of their race or beliefs and bastardized it to mean that anyone who works hard and succeeds is no better than those who never try.

They believe that the success is only stolen or given, never earned. They look for reasons to reduce achievement to something unworthy of praise. Striving to find the great asterisk to attach to the winners so that they might be brought down to the level of those who just couldn’t be bothered to try.

Their Leaders Feed the Disease

Obama, in a July 13, campaign appearance in Virginia when he was running against Mitt Romney, said, “There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”

They take a simple truth, that nobody lives in a vacuum, and extrapolate from it that those who have risen to the top in their fields of endeavor are no better than those at the bottom. The achievers got lucky.

Why do they do this?

Why do the folks on the left who have clearly been successful through hard work preach against the idea of accomplishment?

Could anyone argue that Hillary Clinton has worked hard her entire life?

No.

What about the other thought leaders on the left?

Again, none of them rose to become leaders by “mailing it in.”

Why then do they cringe at telling the truth?

The Truth

I believe it comes down to two main points.

  • They are preaching to a choir that doesn’t want to hear that reaching goals takes work.
  • They don’t really believe they deserve praise for their accomplishments.

It’s the second point that goes back to the underlying issue that feeds this sickness we call liberalism, the self-doubt and self-loathing.

This progressive disease feeds itself through their constant self-criticism and criticism of others. It makes organism stronger, such that no amount of logic can kill it.

When we understand that the progressives are not the horrible monsters they appear to be, that they are just beaten down souls too weak from a lifetime of self-loathing to fight against the sickness, then we ourselves are freed from the burden of worrying about “fixing” them.

Instead of trying to argue that socialism is terrible and getting nowhere, we should just let the liberal be, secure in the knowledge that they deserve our pity.

These are humans who have been destroyed and beaten down in the most sinister of ways. We should feel sorry for them. We should reach out and hug those who escaped by #WalkingAway.

The individual spirit in the only cure.

Those that can’t be saved will always hate those on the right because we like the accomplishment, hard work, goals, and building better lives. They will hate how we don’t want to be given a free pass. They will rail against those who decide they don’t want a handout but would rather find their own way.

And they will then lament, “If everyone would just vote based upon their own self-interest, we would never lose another election.”

Which is code for, “Vote to let the government run your lives, it’s easier.”

But that’s not what conservatives want. We don’t want to be handed a participation trophy. We want to earn it.

And THAT is the most unforgivable sin the left can imagine.

Because, those who earn it, are NOT the same as everyone else.

They are better.

They are Republicans.
