Posted on by

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale at Amazon and also can be ordered from any bookstore for $17.95. The 330-page paperback book contains analyses of 70 national, international and domestic problems in nine categories and with 70 pictures. It also critiques Mainstream Media and the far left of the Democrat Party and includes a provocative introduction and conclusion.    #          #           #           #

The Democrat Party is still attempting to understand why it was beaten so badly in the 2024 election. The Progressive Left wants to keep its control of the Party though for most Democrats it’s too extreme.  David Horowitz provides keen insights into the far left of the Party. He (to listen to my 26-minute interview with him, if you’re reading this on my website, click on the blue “play” icon below and if the sound doesn’t begin, then click on the loudspeaker icon alongside) is a prolific author, speaker and political activist. His latest book is America Betrayed.  Mr. Horowitz currently is the director of “The Freedom Center” which he created in 1988.  He went to Columbia University as well as the University of California at Berkeley and was the editor of the Left’s leading magazine, “Ramparts.”  I believe Mr. Horowitz’ greatest asset is his insight into Leftist politics.

In my interview, he explains why he changed from being a revered and high-level, Leftist Socialist from 1956 to 1975 to a Conservative in the late 70’s, especially considering that his parents were members of The American Communist Party.  Mr. Horowitz tells his spell-binding and compelling story with names, dates, and places.  He tells what motivates the Left and gives his views on Leftist positions.

In the interview, Mr. Horowitz explains:

  1. Why and what the Left hates.
  2. The anti-war activists’ change in their protests against the Vietnam war once the draft was ended in 1974, why many Left leaders of the 70’s (John Kerry) have ”blood on their hands,” and much more.
  3. How and why he knows that the Black Panthers killed his accountant, Betty.

DEFEAT THE RADICAL FAR-LEFT POLITICALLY

Posted on by

NY City Tammany Hall leader “Boss” Tweed, 1860’s-70’s

My book, “Proud to be American”, is on sale at Amazon and also can be ordered at any bookstore for $16.95.  It includes 68 articles organized to nine categories and with 70 pictures. The book analyzes national, international, and domestic problems.  It also critiques Propaganda Media and the Far-Left of the Democrat Party.    #          #            #           #

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 that one 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. Former President Biden used to be a moderate Democrat for most of his political career, but he governed as a far-left radical after becoming President of the United States.  His policies were difficult to understand and appeared to be all 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 and causing massive inflation 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 (“Propaganda”) Media has become so dishonest that absolutely nothing it says about President Trump can be believed.  It is also guilty of “bias by omission” since it reports next to nothing that makes President Trump look good.

3. Democrat Party leaders refuse to debate issues but instead make “ad hominem” (personal) attacks against President Trump and 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. Far-left Democrats should commend former Presidents Biden and Obama (I’m being facetious here) because they did their bidding by trying their very best to drastically weaken our military, economic system, and Healthcare in order to further their 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 allowed 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 Bide attempted to finish the job with massive deficit spending.

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

6. 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 it also cannot debate anyone that disagrees with them.

7.  Many Democrat leaders, such as Democrat Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, and the 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 and patriotically make you voices heard”).

8. Some Republican leaders are timid and cannot competently argue conservative policy positions though those positions are 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, James Comer, etc., the Republican Party would be in bad shape.  In other words, as ridiculous as most liberal positions are, the timidity of some Republican leaders really hurts the adoption of conservative policy positions.

9. 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’

11, 12, 13, etc.

In conclusion, if and when the Democrat Party loyalists ever see what has happened to their Party and punish it by not supporting it (voting for it and contributing to it) until it changes, the Party should then clean itself up and consequently become more competitive and win many more elections.  Let’s pray that everything remains peaceful as we go through the consequent political turmoil and do whatever we can to defeat the far-left politically.
