My book, “Proud to be American, is available at Amazon and also can be ordered at any bookstore for $17.95. It’s a 330-page paperback book with 70 articles in nine categories and 70 pictures. My book analyzes national, international, and domestic problems and also critiques main stream media and the far-left of the Democrat Party. It also has a provocative introduction and conclusion.   #    #      #      #

“Many believe that the policies championed and supported by the political Far-Left are crazy because they make all Americans worse off.  I also find Far-Left policies difficult to understand in terms of making people’s lives better, so I thought it useful to attempt to discover why the Left adopts them, especially since the entire Democrat Party is adhering to them and they have (predictably) adversely affected most Americans. I sincerely believe that Far-Left policies will destroy the Democrat Party.

1.IMMIGRATION: As promised during his Presidential campaign, Joe Biden pursued open borders, especially along the U.S.’ southern border.  Most Americans, though very compassionate, did not approve because drugs and many criminals were sneaking across with the help of Mexican cartels.  Biden and the Democrat Party facilitated this with the pretext of compassion, but the real reason I believe is because they know that at least 3/4 of them will eventually vote Democrat and that the children of illegal immigrants will automatically be U.S. citizens who, of course, could vote (and will probably vote Democrat).

2. ECONOMY: Inflation became as high as 9.1% in June of 2022.  Many necessary products (like baby formula) were not readily available in parts of the U.S.  The economy was technically in a recession.  These phenomena were all the fault of President Biden and Democrat Party policies, mostly from multi-Trillion-dollar legislative bills that were voted into law or, in the case of baby formula shortages, from incompetence (like shutting down the largest producer [Abbott] on flimsy suspicion without devising a plan to replace it).  Biden’s pretext(s) were numerous, like the Ukraine War, stopping Russian oil purchases, climate change, compassion, President Trump, etc. The real reasons are: 1) the political far-Left wants it, and 2) incompetence.

3.CLIMATE CHANGE: The Left is anti-fossil fuels (gas, oil, coal).  It has shut down pipelines and oil and gas leases, raised prices for permits, and discouraged institutions to loan money for oil and gas exploration and drilling. All of these policies have resulted in decreased oil and gas production which in turn resulted in much higher prices for oil, gas and the 6,000 products made from them.  A significant percentage of the very high inflation under President Biden was largely due to Biden and the Democrat Party, using the pretext for their policies as “concern about climate change”; the most significant threats to the U.S. are actually China, Russia, Iran and North Korea and the concern about climate change was absurd, given these real threats, because America will likely be bombed into the Stone Age with three EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) nuclear bombs exploded far above the atmosphere in the U.S. long before climate change has any effects, which appear to be minor.  The real reason for the Left’s climate change policy is that it serves as a pretext for trying to destroy capitalism in the U.S. (by banning fossil fuels which are currently necessary to the American economy).

4.GUN CONTROL: The Left’s solution for preventing mass shootings is to ban guns from mentally-healthy, law-abiding citizens, despite the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing this right.  The fact that there are currently about 400 million handguns owned by Americans make’s this rationale ridiculous. Also, criminals do not follow the law and have no problem getting guns no matter what the law says. The real reason I believe is that if and when the Left is ready, it will take control of the U.S. and citizens would not have the weapons to fight back.  Sounds crazy?  This “craziness” is the reason the Founding Fathers had for including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights (to help keep government from becoming a dictatorship…[see the Federalist Papers]).

5. ELECTION FRAUD:  There has been some cheating at elections ever since elections have been held.  The fraudsters have continually improved their tactics to the point now that they can win any election they want to win.  Recently, the massive onslaught of mail-in ballots, using the pretext of fear of Covid, enabled Joe Biden to become President of the United States.  The movie, “2,000 Mules” and the book, “Rigged” provides sufficient evidence, though there’s a lot more available, which I have seen and written about in another post on my blog.

6.ELECTRIC VEHICLES: Vehemently supported by the Left, their pretext for pushing expensive electric vehicles is to get off of fossil fuels because they increase carbon emissions in the atmosphere. However, the electricity needed to charge the batteries in electric vehicles is also generated by the burning of coal and natural gas.  Also, electric vehicles are more vulnerable to EMPs (Electro-Magnetic Pulses) compared to gas and diesel-powered vehicles.  Finally, electric vehicles require about 19 or so “rare-earth” minerals, which are mostly produced in or controlled by China.  Of course, this means that the U.S. would be dependent on China, our strongest adversary, to get the rare-earth minerals it needs to build cars.  The subsidies to new companies and their kick-backs to the Left for electric vehicles and their batteries I believe is the real reason for  those vehicles, not climate change.

7.RACE: The Left has used race almost since its inception in 1828.  It was pro-slavery, then pro-Ku Klux Klan, then pro-Jim Crow laws, then pro-Eugenics (Margaret Sanger and her “Planned Parenthood”).  Consequently, African-Americans voted Republican from Emancipation in 1863 to about 1960, at which time they voted mostly Democrat with as much as 96% in Presidential elections.  The Democrat Party’s very poor performance in helping African-Americans is turning many to vote Republican.  The Democrat Party’s constant emphasis and focus on race has seriously hurt race relations.  The pretext is “concern for people of color.”  The real reason is they have had enormous election success using race and want to continue to use it.  I believe that it is behind most of the racial division in the U.S.

8.CRIME:  The Left is much more concerned about the rights of criminals rather than the rights of victims,  possibly for the prison vote since more States are allowing prisoners to vote.  The pretext is that over 50% of prisoners are black, though their percent of the population is only 13%, and this “unfairness” can be  corrected by not prosecuting crimes.  While President Biden and the Democrat Party initially supported the “Defund the Police” movement, his vice-president, Kamala Harris (while still just a Senator) actually paid to bail-out rioters in some of the 574 riots held by Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA during the summer of 2020.  Mega-donor and Far-Left billionaire, George Soros, funded the campaigns of many big-city district attorneys that stopped prosecuting most crimes in their cities, which of course led to the huge increases in crime in those cities.

9.THE MILITARY: President Biden gave small increases to the Defense Department (now called the Department of War) budget which were too small to even keep up with inflation. Most Democrat presidents are either neutral or anti-military, which results in a weaker military.  With the military, the Far-Left doesn’t usually hide its disdain except that it doesn’t want a strong America, because it believes we are racist and don’t deserve it.  However, the U.S. needs a strong military to counter China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.  Democrat-appointed military leaders focused on teaching CRT (Critical Race Theory), and other non-military issues that were politically-motivated and consequently weakened our forces.

CONCLUSION

I only listed nine areas above but there are many others, such as education in the public schools which the Left is destroying.  The Left used to hide their motives and beliefs, but increasingly it is coming out with simplistic (and ridiculous) solutions to complex problems.  A good way to see what they are really up to is to watch what they do, not say, because they know the right words to say.  Moreover, Main Stream Media, as well as CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, etc. are all “in-the-tank” with the Left, so they can’t be trusted to just accurately report the news.  Great books that provide evidence on what the Left and most of the Media are up to is Mark Levin’s, “The Democrat Party Hates America”, “American Marxism,” “Unfreedom of the Press”, and Pete Hegseth’s “Battle for the American Mind.”
