Democracy: a government in which the supreme power is
vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system
of representation usually involving periodically held free elections
For as long
as I can remember now the Left in this country has continually lowered the bar
when it comes to standards of behavior, political discourse and political
gamesmanship. From Ted Kennedy’s lying
tirade against the superbly qualified Robert Bork…to Democrats’ partisan
defense of Bill Clinton’s predatory ways against women…to Al Gore’s hissy-fit legal
battle over his legitimate loss in the 2000 presidential election…to the first
era of Derangement Syndrome (i.e. the complete absence of reason, fairness and
objectivity) targeted at George W. Bush…to the “pen and phone” presidency of
Barack Obama under which the Deep State grew and flourished and Democrats became
at ease with being lied to by their government (remember their outrage over the
Jonathan Gruber/Obamacare revelations?
Yeah, me neither)…to Harry Reid’s invoking of the “nuclear option”…to
today’s Trump Derangement Syndrome which dwarfs BDS by perhaps a factor of ten,
Democrats just keep lowering that bar. And
each lowering brings a rash of angry editorials, furious blog posts, radio
diatribes and pseudo debates between TV talking heads as conservatives rightly
denounce the Left’s actions but rarely – unless I’ve missed it – do they take the argument to its obvious conclusion, which is as follows:
The American Left rejects democracy and the concept of shared government
by The People – All of the people
That reality
is a critical point for everyone to understand because we live under the best
system of government in the world designed by some of the brightest, wisest
Americans who ever lived. Actions speak
louder than words, and by their actions the Left’s rejection of that system has
been clearly communicated again and
again. Consider all that we’ve witnessed
in recent years:
Ongoing and
increasingly vicious attacks on the free speech rights of conservatives;
The deliberate
politicization of our judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, and
disintegration of order and respect in the confirmation process when nominees are
deemed to be a conservative;
The rise of
groups such as Occupy Wallstreet and Antifa who anoint themselves as the
arbiters of other peoples’ rights and who justify their lawless ways with
made-up claims of fighting “fascism,” which they – not the dictionary -
define;
The rise of
the Black Lives Matter movement fueling anti-police sentiment and racial unrest;
The increased
acceptance of legalized theft under the guise of “democratic socialism;”
Nefarious Deep
State plots and desperate, mob-style vilification to undermine – and perhaps
even remove - a legally elected POTUS;
The proudly
touted “resistance” movement, embraced by leaders of the Left including Hillary
Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, in response to a legitimately elected administration
enacting a constitutional agenda;
And last but
not least, the lies, lies, lies, lies.
The American
Left has rejected democracy in every conceivable way except by formal
declaration. Honesty is not their style. These are, after all, not the sort of brave
and principled people as those who formally declared their intention to
separate from Mother England and were willing to fight and die for the rights
they believed to be theirs back in 1776.
Instead, the American Left feigns allegiance to the
Constitution and to our non-violent system of government crafted therein, all
while continually engaging – once surreptitiously, now openly - in attacks meant
to undermine that very Constitution and system of governance. They are, in short, attempting a coup, and
they’re only hoping we won’t notice or act until it’s too late. Why?
Because the Left wants to enjoy the benefits and protections of our
constitutional republic without all the pesky obligations that go along with
it. It is those obligations – the
requirement to honor the Bill of Rights and abide by the law – that keeps the
Right in check while the Left carries on with its evil intent.
And if
you’re not angry yet, there’s something amiss with you.
It’s time to
bring the reality of who we’re dealing with to the forefront of every debate
and discussion that centers on politics, because without this understanding of
what’s actually going on little else matters.
Democrats, and particularly those who hail from the far Left and
self-describe as socialists or “democratic
socialists” (a term that’s meant to get past Americans’ instinctive aversion to
socialism) should be asked point blank whether they stand with the Constitution
as written or not and, after they lie, made to defend their actions that are
contrary to their declaration. We are in
desperate need of daylight in this nation, because right now it’s so dark too many
people can’t see the giant elephant that’s right there in the room.

Postscript:
Within an hour of my publishing this post we have this latest news item from Fox News:
“New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker injected chaos into Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing Thursday by releasing confidential Kavanaugh emails with the backing of fellow Democrats in possible violation of Senate rules, calling it an act of “civil disobedience” and drawing condemnation from the Republicans on the committee.”
Perfect example of what I’m talking about. The bar is lowered yet again. ~ CW
