Victims…

dw.logo_.victims.high_If you can successfully convince the world that you are a victim, you’ve placed yourself in a very strategic position in that no one can question you, let alone criticize you, without being automatically categorized as a villain.

Depending on how convincing your platform is, you can secure monumental amounts of compassion, pity and even favors. And what makes it a truly brilliant tactic is that should you be nothing more than a charlatan, your disguise will never be recognized as the sinister charade that it is. Rather, you’ll be applauded as a hero while those that dare to doubt you are condemned as cynical and even cruel.

Combine this theater with a script that makes use of words designed to illicit an emotional response and costumes that make you appear either meek or professional and you have constructed a stage reinforced with multiple layers of distractions and intellectual sounding defenses that is capable of advancing a truly heinous agenda, all the while keeping the voice of reason either completely silent or perpetually hesitant for fear of being labeled intolerant or worse.

Facts are subordinate to information and truth is silenced with facts. It’s an overwhelming din of outbursts, indignation and even violence – all supposedly justified by tragic circumstances and unjust persecution.

This is the methodology of the Left. Racism, Homosexuality, Illegal Immigration – these aren’t topics as much as they are tactics. While they do represent legitimate issues, their real utility, in the mind of the Progressive, is the way in which they can be used as the backdrop for the plight of an individual that’s been “victimized” by an antiquated and sinister system that must be changed.

The “system” is the Constitution, the Rule of Law, Moral Absolutes – bulwarks of our national and spiritual heritage – all of which limit the momentum of the Left. Therefore, they must be eliminated, or at least altered, in order to afford the poison of the Progressive to proceed unabated…

Right now you have a political climate where the Left is being viewed by many as downright disdainful. Encouraging incivility and even violence, perpetually negative press, even this last episode with Judge Kavanaugh where they attempted to promote the accusation of an uncertain and forgetful woman as grounds for disqualifying Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice while simultaneously demolishing his integrity, his honor and his career. These are the things that are being noted by those who aren’t quite sure how they’re going to vote in the upcoming election and it’s not looking good for the Democrats who are being revealed more and more as a party whose sole priority is the acquisition of power at any expense.

Meanwhile, President Trump is presiding over a strong economy, a solid foreign policy, tax cuts and a myriad of other campaign promises that have been kept.

In the words of my father, “It’s hard to argue with success.”

Now here comes a mob from Mexico whose intentions aren’t quite clear. Are they going to try and make their way into our country by force? It’s hard to tell, but it’s going to be some kind of standoff and what do they expect to accomplish in the face of our military? And what happens if we open fire?

Victims.

This morning we hear that explosive devices have been intercepted by the Secret Service that were targeting Hillary, Obama and George Soros. Thankfully, everyone is safe and an investigation is underway. But what does the press now have access to, as far as the verbiage that represents an appropriate way to describe the aforementioned champions of the Left?

They’re victims.

Today Hillary was speaking and she assured everyone that she’s alright as a person, but as an Amercian she’s concerned about the division that is now so prevalent in our country. She went on to say how iimportant it is to elect governement officials into positions of authority that promote unity…

Do you not smell that?

“We need to come together as a nation and put this division behind us.”

“We need to act now before anyone gets hurt, be it a military standoff or a bomb delivered to a public servant….”

“We don’t want anymore…”

…victims.

I hope I’m wrong. But should the investigation that’s now underway uncover a charade designed to make those who support Trump appear agreeable to the idea of attacking the former President or the former Secretary of State, I don’t know if I would be that surprised. After all, if your philosophical starting point necessitates the victimized element in order to distract from the lack of wisdom and substance that characterizes your platform, then you need victims.

What do you think?

Occupy Democrats – “It’s the Republicans Fault!”

“OccupyDemocrats” is an internet entity that proclaims the virtues of the Democrat party and labors to cast the Republican / Conservative platform in a bad light. You saw that recently with the ad displayed to the right. Should you wonder if there’s any truth to what they’re saying, read on.

What is happening right now is called a fillibuster. It’s a tactic used to delay the final vote on a specific piece of legislation. It doesn’t happen in the House, it only occurs in the Senate.

While there is a Republican majority in the Senate, they don’t have enough votes to pass any bill without the support of some Democrats. It’s here where the Democrats are using their advantage to delay a vote, hence it’s the Democrats who are responsible for the shutting down of the government and not the Republicans. Again, there are some Republicans who feel the same way, but the true muscle behind this shutdown is the Democrats and not the Republicans.

Here’s what makes it so heinous: The bill that’s before the Senate right now is a spending bill. But while it has absolutely nothing to do with DACA (Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals”), Democrats have stonewalled any kind of progress by insisting that unless some kind of immigration reform that addresses Dreamers is included, they will not vote.

And as far as “Dreamers” are concerned, we’re not talking about immigrants, we’re talking about the children of ILLEGAL immigrants. Obama’s legislation was not wise nor was it Constitutional, but it was strategic. You don’t grant citizenship to a non-citizen, but, then again, if you can issue them Green Cards and, in that way, provide them them the legal means to vote, now you have a greater chance of winning elections. There’s no denying that the offspring of those who entered this country illegally are in a bad spot, but whatever indignation may bubble up in the mind of the one on the outside looking in is best directed towards the careless parent who put their child in that position to begin with and not those who would enforce the law. And before you allow yourself to envision a collection of innocent adolescents, these Dreamers are far from softspoken or gracious. This past December there was a rally in Washington where close to 200 people – many of them “dreamers” – were demanding that Congress and Trump pass legislation that gives them full citizenship status.

They’re not citizens. They have no “right” to demand anything. But, emboldened by those who recognize the potential political gain that is accomplished by granting illegal immigrants the ability to vote, they are making their voices heard and it’s preposterous when you realize their whole premise is based on having entered the country illegally.1

While there’s more that can be said about this, let me conclude with an example of the hypocrisy that so often characterizes the Progressive platform. In 2013, Chuck Schumer declared that his party would never go to such extremes as to advocate a government shut down simply because they weren’t getting their way.

Well, obviously he didn’t mean what he said…

 

 

1. You saw this recently with California’s policy to grant Driver’s Licences to illegal immigrants. By doing so, you now make them eligible to vote. See New California Policy Opens Door to Illegal Immigrant Voting
