WHAT’S BEHIND THE LEFT’S POLICIES?

Many believe that the policies championed and supported by the political Left are crazy because they make all Americans worse off.  I also find Leftist 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 Biden Administration is adhering to them and they are (predictably) adversely affecting most Americans.

1.IMMIGRATION: As promised during his Presidential campaign, Joe Biden has pursued open borders, especially along the U.S.’ southern border.  Most Americans, though very compassionate, do not approve because drugs and many criminals are sneaking across with the help of Mexican cartels.  Biden and the Democrat Party have 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, can 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) are still not readily available in parts of the U.S.  The economy was technically in a recession.  These phenomena are all the fault of the President 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) are 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 current very high inflation is 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 is 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 a healthy 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’s 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, with China’s help, they can win any election they want to win.  Recently, the massive onslaught of mail-in ballots, using the pretext of fear of Covid, has 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 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 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 pushing 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. Many states have given prisoners the right to vote, which I believe to be the real reason for the Democrat Party’s being soft on crime.

9.THE MILITARY: President Biden has given small increases to the Defense Department 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 currently focus on teaching CRT (Critical Race Theory), and other non-military issues that are politically-motivated and consequently weaken our forces.

I only listed nine areas above but there are others, such as education in the public schools which the Left is destroying.  The Left used to hide their motives and beliefs, but increasingly they are coming out with their 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 report the news.  Great books that provide evidence on what the Left and most of the Media are up to is Mark Levin’s “American Marxism,” his “Unfreedom of the Press”, and Pete Hegseth’s “Battle for the American Mind.”

DEFEAT THE RADICAL FAR-LEFT POLITICALLY

Although I’m slightly more conservative than liberal, I try to be even-handed in my writing.  However, the Left has become so radical, and even criminal at times, I think an article that is not even-handed is in order and appropriate. The following is a brief summary of what I believe has and is happening to adversely affect U.S. politics:

1. President Biden used to be a moderate Democrat for most of his political career, but he has governed  as a far-left radical after becoming President of the United States.  His policies are difficult to understand and appear to all be geared to hurting Americans and the U.S.  Examples of this include his dismantling of the myriad of immigration and border policies that kept the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. very low; putting America in huge debt by wasting trillions of dollars in allegedly helping Americans get over the pandemic; dividing America along racial lines by supporting and funding Critical Race Theory; weakening our military by not providing it with enough funds to even keep up with inflation; by removing economic sanctions from our adversaries such as Iran, China, and Russia.

2. Mainstream Media has become so dishonest that absolutely nothing it says about former President Trump can be believed .  It is guilty of “bias by omission” since it reports next to nothing that makes former President Trump look good or President Biden look bad.

3. Democrat Party leaders refuse to debate issues, but instead make “ad hominem” (personal) attacks against Republicans.  The reason for this is that their policies are absurd to the extent that they cannot be successfully defended from arguments against them.

4. Former President Trump is attacking Governor DeSantis, often unfairly. Trump can be mean at times and consequently will probably  lose the Republican nomination if he continues, because many do not like it.  He really needs to be more careful with his speech and never mimic the Far-Left’s tactics.

5. Far-left Democrats should commend President Obama because he did their bidding by trying his very best to drastically weaken our military, economic system, and Healthcare in order to further his Socialist agenda and that of the Democrat Party (by furthering policies that would create a large permanent poverty class dependent on the government for basic subsidence).  His political party is allowing large numbers of illegal aliens into the U.S. since most will eventually vote Democrat, and Obama doubled the National debt (from $10 trillion to $20 trillion), coming close to bankrupting the country (and President Biden is finishing the job).

6. The Democrat Party, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden destroyed healthcare insurance for millions of Americans; only those receiving free medical insurance did well under Obamacare.

7. The far-left shouts down conservative speakers on college campuses, as well as destroys property in its demonstrations, thus demonstrating it does not believe in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on freedom of speech and also cannot debate anyone that disagrees with them.

8.  Many Democrat leaders, such as Democrat Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, and House of Representatives  Democrat “Squad,” have advocated violence while the Main-Stream Media falsely accuse President Trump of instigating violence (I taped Trump’s January 6 speech…to “peacefully protest”).

9. Some Republican leaders are timid and cannot competently argue conservative policy positions though those positions are usually far better than liberal positions.  Were it not for Fox News and Newsmax cable TV stations, talk radio, President Trump, Governor DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott, Rand Paul, Jim Jorden, etc., the Republican Party would be in terrible shape.  In other words, as ridiculous as most liberal positions are, the timidity of some Republican leaders, like Mitch McConnell, really hurts the adoption of conservative policy positions.

10. I believe that the far-left wing of the Democrat Party is shaping and mentally preparing its followers to hate Republicans and take over the Federal government.  We need to expose this criminality whenever we find evidence that it is happening, but cautiously, because the FBI has been weaponized and is looking for any excuse to lock us up.

11, 12, 13, etc.

In conclusion, if and when Democrat Party loyalists see what has happened to their Party and punish it by not supporting it (voting for it) until it changes, the Party should then clean itself up and consequently become more competitive and win many more elections.  If that never happens, God help the United States, because we will no longer be a Constitutional Republic but a third-world style dictatorship.  Let everything be peaceful as we go through this political turmoil.
