The Truth: Why I Don’t Care About Trump’s Phone Call to Ukraine

We just want to save the country from Trump.  Really!

Democrats are feigning moral outrage over Trump’s phone call pressuring the president of Ukraine to investigate the actions of former Vice President Joe Biden with respect to Biden’s questionable actions there.  

So let me see if I have this right:

We are supposed to believe that the party which rammed Obamacare down the throats of Americans in spite of its glaring contradictions with the spirit and intent of the Constitution has suddenly developed great reverence for the Constitution.  We are supposed to believe that the party of sanctuary cities and blind “resistance” has suddenly discovered its deep concern for the citizens of the country they are sworn to represent.  We are supposed to believe that the party which used every trick in the book to convince their constituents that first George W. Bush and then Donald Trump were illegitimate presidents now weeps over the state of our “divided” nation.  We are supposed to believe that the party which abused its power to spy on an opposing presidential campaign and that fueled a “Russia-collusion” hoax now sincerely fears for the health of our democracy.  We are supposed to believe that the party that tried to elect Hillary Clinton suddenly has no tolerance for perceived corruption. 

Maybe you can believe that the party which uttered nary a word when Barack Obama was caught on mic whispering to the Russian president, “Tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election,” has discovered patriotism at last, but I don’t buy it.  Call me a cynic if you want to. 

There are those who think Trump’s actions rise to the level of impeachment and those who do not (the opinions of the Left don’t merit consideration as they have consistently proven themselves to be incapable of fair-mindedness or objectivity).  I’m not here to debate whether Trump’s actions were impeachable or not because – frankly - I don’t give a damn, and the reason I don’t give a damn is because we are a nation at war.  If you don’t understand that yet, then you aren’t paying attention. 

War:  (2) a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism;  b: a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end

I once remarked to a leftist blogger in an exchange at Fox News that there was a war being waged between the Left and the rest of America to which he incredulously demanded to know how there could be a war when there wasn’t any blood.  I laughed out loud reading such a childish comment.  It’s very helpful to the Left that Americans have been trained to believe that as long as there is no blood, there is no war.  It keeps us complacent, like the humans used for fuel while they blissfully slumbered in The Matrix.  But what is the objective of war?  The ultimate goal is to seize power, to wrest control.  As I write this the Left is very busy scheming to do just that, and I’m not only talking about the Deep State’s infamous efforts to undermine the election of Donald Trump and the Left’s determination to find some reason – any reason - to impeach him since day one.  That’s only the tip of the iceberg.  I’m talking about Democrat schemes like ballot harvesting, which they used to tip the scales for Democrats in California in 2018, all while feeding us a phony narrative about wanting “election security.”  I’m talking about the unconstitutional National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which requires presidential electors in participating states to heed the results of the national popular vote, not the will of the voters in their own state.  I’m talking about the push by self-serving leftists to get rid of the electoral college so that Democrat enclaves in a few urban districts will have the pleasure of deciding things for all 50 of our United States.  I’m talking about the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), an organization headed by far left schemers Eric Holder and Barack Obama to create voting districts that favor Democrats (i.e. gerrymandering), all while denouncing Republicans as corrupt for….wait for it….gerrymandering!  You can read more about that here.  I’m talking about the Left’s flagrant, unapologetic abuse of its power in the media which it uses to misinform and brainwash, as well as the Left’s domination and abuse of social media companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter which manipulate and police speech to advance the Left’s agenda.  I’m talking about the schemes of leftists like George Soros to imbed our courts with activist judges who will protect the agenda rather than the law or the Constitution.  Even something as seemingly straight forward as the U.S. Census has been politicized to prevent truth and facts from interfering with the Left’s schemes to grow their power. 

Everywhere we look the Left is planning, plotting and secretly scheming to surreptitiously stack the deck in their favor.  That sounds like war to me. 

If this were baseball, the Left would be moving the bases and bribing the umpires.  Who wants to play under those conditions?  And yet we have no choice.  Democrats reading this will scoff and point to examples of Republicans’ “dirty tricks.”  That’s the way they’ve been brainwashed all of their lives to see it.  But when you’re forced to play ball against a team that cheats and secures its advantage with activist referees, you’re left with little choice but to play the game by their standards.  Successful corruption breeds more corruption, which is why there are so many nations that are hopelessly mired in it.  Do I like it?  Of course not, but the Left is determined to have it this way because they simply cannot win a fair fight, and god forbid they shouldn’t win, since power and control are what they live for.

Did Trump do a bad thing by asking the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s shenanigans and to seemingly tie our financial assistance to his request?  Until we’re all held to the same standards and all equally upholding the Constitution, frankly I don’t give a damn.

The Left’s Message to America: We Reject Democracy

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
